4. Installation
4.1. 48 Volt DC Power Option
The 48 Volt DC input is not polarity sensitive. Therefore, you can connect either positive or negative wires from your 48 volt power source to either input and the internal circuitry will adjust for the proper polarity.
Input Range: 40 - 60 Volts DC, 200 milliamps maximum.

5. Command Summary
Type commands in either upper or lower case. Do not use a combination of upper and lower case characters.
Use the Backspace key to delete errors. Note that the original AT command is stored in the modem buffer, and cannot be deleted.
Some commands have numeric options. If these commands are invoked without a numeric option, the modem will assume option 0 (zero). For example, when the command ATB is invoked, the modem will assume command ATB0 was intended.
All commands begin with the AT prefix, and are invoked by pressing [Enter] (Carriage Return). The only exceptions are the A/ command (Repeat previous command) and +++ (Exit to on-line command mode).
The maximum command length is 40 characters. This does not include the AT prefix, Carriage Returns, or spaces.
Note: Default values are marked with an asterisk. All defaults are based on the &F1-Hardware Flow Control Template loaded in NVRAM.
