6.1 INTERPRETING PART NUMBER
The part number of a module sequentially indicates
◦ the model number, which indicates the
− radio frequency band range.
− link distance range.
− the factory-set encryption standard.
◦ the module type.
◦ whether the reflector dish is included.
◦ the modulation capability.
Radio Frequency Band Range
The leading digits indicate the frequency band range in which the module can operate.
For example, if the part number is 5200BH, then the frequency band range of the module
is 5.2 GHz.

You cannot change the frequency band range of the module.
Link Distance Range
The next digit in the part number indicates whether the module is an extended range
model. 1 indicates extended range. For example, if the part number is 5210BH, then the
module is an extended range module. If the part number is 5200BH, then the module is
not an extended range model.

5200BH
You cannot change the link distance range of the module.
Encryption Standard
The next digit in the part number indicates the encryption standard that was preset at the
factory. 1 indicates the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). 0 indicates the Data
Encryption Standard (DES) standard. For example, if the part number is 5201BH, then
transmissions from the module are encrypted according to AES. If the part number is
5200BH, then transmissions from the module are encrypted according to DES.
