instructions
The units must have a Revision C (or later) main board for the Turbo upgrade. Refer to
the following ways to determine the revision status:
1. Provide the SN of the modem to Comtech EF Data for verification of the revision
status.
2. If the first two digits of the modem SN start with 99, 00 or 01, corresponding to
the year of manufacture, then the modem main board is Revision C.
3. If the SN starts with 98 then it is either Revision B or C and it is necessary to
check with the factory. SNs beginning 97 or earlier are not eligible for upgrade.
