INTRODUCTION
1
This chapter provides an overview of the SDM-300L satellite modem, referred to in this
manual as “the modem” (Figure 1-1).
Note:
An SDM-300L Technical Information Guide is available in electronic format on
the CD included with the unit. It contains detailed information that is beyond the scope
of this Operator’s Guide.
Figure 1-1. SDM-300L
The SDM-300L Digital Satellite Modem is a high performance, full duplex modem. The
unit is available in two versions as described in Table 1-1.
1. The UB-530 universal breakout panel (BOP) is an option for V.35, G703,
EIA-232, and EIA-422.
2. When the modem is equipped with a 50-pin data I/O connector, the use of the
BOP is required to interface the customer data connector to the modem.
3. Contact Comtech EFData for information concerning universal breakout panels.

This chapter describes the installation and external connections for the SDM-300L unit.
2.1 Unpacking
The modem and manual are packaged in pre-formed, reusable, cardboard cartons
containing foam spacing for maximum shipping protection.
Do not use any cutting tool that will extend more than 1 inch into the
container and cause damage to the modem.
CAUTION
Unpack the modem:
1. Cut the tape at the top of the carton indicated by OPEN THIS END.
2. Remove the cardboard/foam space covering the modem and caddypacks.
3. Remove the modem, caddypacks, manual, and power cord from the carton.
4. Save the packing material for storage or reshipment purposes.
5. Inspect the equipment for any possible damage incurred during shipment.
