Interpreting Model Number
The model number of a module typically represents
• the model number, which may indicate
o radio frequency band range.
o link distance range.
o whether the module is a CAP/CSM 130 or not.
o the factory-set encryption standard.
• the module type.
• whether the reflector dish is included.
• the antenna scheme of the module.
• whether adjustable power in the module is preset to low.
• the modulation capability.
Radio Frequency Band Range
The leading two digits usually indicate the frequency band range in which the module can operate.
For example, if the model number is 5700BH, then the frequency band range of the module is 5.7
GHz.

You cannot change the frequency band range of the module.
Link Distance Range or Series 130/09130
The third digit in the model number may indicate whether the module is an extended range, or a
130/09130 instead of a 120 in the PMP 100 Series. 1 indicates extended range, with power
adjustable up to 23 dBm. 5 in the third position (5250AP, for example) indicates that the module is
a CAP 130 or CSM 130. However, model numbering for 900-MHz APs and SMs differs from this
general rule. All APs and SMs in this frequency band range are 09130, but none of their model
numbers use 5 in the third position.
