2.4.2 J2: Auxiliary Power Output
Auxiliary power out is available from this connector. The default output is 12V. Current available depends on the
input voltage and RF output power setting of the radio (testing for your desired operating range is recommended).
Current available depends somewhat on voltage input and demand from the radio board. (for example, not including
the radio requirements, at 12V/1.7A output @ 6V in. 12V/3.4A output @ 12V in, 12V/5.4A output @ 24Vin).
The radio uses approximately 4.4W of power maximum from the second state regulator (which by default is taken
from the 12V supply, and does not take into account that the 2
nd stage switcher is about 90% efficient).
The connector may be limited to approximately 2A. You can bypass the connector and solder directly to the board
for higher current (or test accordingly).
In some cases and for high volume customers we may be able to factory adjust the output voltage within the range of
8-20 volts (or even leave off this feature for a cost reduced version if you can provide 8-20V regulated input).
Mating connector is a 2mm pitch Molex connector (also compatible with JST PH series such as PHR-2):
Mating Connector: Molex 0873690200
Contacts: Molex 0502128000

2 GND
2.4.3 Ethernet connectors
J3: LAN ethernet connector (ETH0)
J4: WAN ethernet connector (ETH1)
These connectors have identical pinouts. The initial configuration connector is the LAN connector (right angle
connector on the board side opposite the radio). The WAN connector is the vertical connector on the same side as
the radio.
Mating Connector: JST GHR-09V-S
