12.4 User Configurable I/O Connections
Several connection points (eyelets) are provided within the transceiver near
the
INTERFACE
connector (J3) that allow the user to facilitate unique integra-
tion requirements.
By jumpering eyelets, external functions (unconditioned I/O) may be
communicated within the TransNET network using a Network Management
System (NMS) such as InSite or a user’s custom application that uses the
Network-Wide Diagnostics Protocol. Specifications for this protocol are
open and are contained within the InSite distribution material on CD and on
the GE MDS Web site.
Care should be taken when soldering to the PCB eyelets due to their
small size. For this reason, only qualified personnel should install the
jumpers and external connections.
Installation of internal jumpers and connection to non-standard inter-
face pins may void the product’s warranty.
If you are uncertain of your interface design, please consult with the
GE MDS Technical Services Department for a review of your design
to assure maintenance of your warranty.

NOTE:
If your PCB does not look like the one in the
, consult with the GE MDS Tech-
nical Services for assistance.
Each pin connected to user-designed equipment must be connected through a
special cable constructed to breakout the User I/O pins.
Your interface can complement your unique requirements. The input signals
and output interface must be within the radio’s interface parameters as
summarized in
.
