•
LED INDICATOR PANEL
—Displays the basic operating status of
the transceiver. Section 2.7 on page 26 contains detailed infor-
mation.
•
COM1 SERIAL PORT
— DB-9 connector used for management
of the transceiver using a connected PC. MS INTRODUCTION
on Page 31 provides complete connection details.
•
LAN PORT
—Connection point for Ethernet Local Area Net-
work. The connector has integrated LEDs to indicate signal
activity as follows: A steady green LED indicates that a link has
been achieved; a flashing green LED indicates data activity; and
a yellow LED indicates 100 Mbps operation.
•
PWR
— DC power connection for the transceiver. Power source
must be 10 Vdc to 30 Vdc, negative ground, and capable of pro-
viding at least 25 watts.
•
GPS ANTENNA PORT
— Coaxial connector (SMA-type) for
connection of a GPS receiving antenna. Provides 3.5 Vdc output
for compatibility with powered (active) GPS antennas. Do not
short this connector, as you might cause damage to the internal
power supply. The GPS receiving antenna’s gain must be
16 dBi or less.
NOTE:
GPS functionality is required on all Access Points and
Remotes
except when “Free Run” single-channel (non-frequency
hopping) operation is used, which might be possible in some
low-interference environments.
•
RX2 ANTENNA PORT
—
Reserved for future functionality.
Coax-
ial connector (TNC-type) for attachment of a second 900 MHz
receiving antenna used in space diversity arrangements.
