CONNECTING WNI SERIAL PORTS TO THE RF CONTROL STATIONS
Each of the four serial ports on the rear panel of a VCOM24 board connects into an 8-pin connector on the rear
of the RF control station shelf. Within the shelf, this connector is wired to the radio. The following figure shows
the interconnections between the RF Control Stations and the VCOM24 board’s serial ports. Note the numbering
of the RF Control Stations and the serial ports, and connect each RF Control Station to the serial port with the
same number. It is important to follow this mapping between a RF Control Station and a serial port on a
particular VCOM24 board to simplify the monitoring and trouble shooting of the system.
1. Connect the DB25 connector of a data interface cable to a serial port of the VCOM24 board.
2. Connect the 8-pin connector on the other end of the data interface cable to either connector J3 or J5 on the
rear of the RF control station shelf.
