RSL & GPS Sync Connector
This connector can be used during the antenna alignment process, to provide a received signal
level (RSL) voltage to a voltmeter. The connector is also used for connection to an optional Exalt
GPS antenna for the purposes of GPS synchronization. The figure below illustrates the pin
orientation and functionality for this connector.

Power/Ethernet Connector
This connector is the primary connector on the radio, and must be connected to provide power to
the radio, and primary Ethernet communications for traffic and Ethernet. The figure below
illustrates the pin orientation and functionality for this connector.
The Ethernet connector implements Auto-MDIX, and therefore either ‘straight’ or ‘crossover’
Ethernet cables may be used, independent of the wiring of the connected device. The wiring
follows typical wiring for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), however the power consumption
requirement for the EX-5r does not allow for ‘standard’ (802.3af) PoE, and only the Exalt power
injector shall be used. In addition, the Exalt power injector provides critical reset and alarm
capability that would not be available from a generic PoE injector, even if the power
consumption requirement is met.
