Important! If the Compact Outdoor SSPA is powered up with the Quick Start cable
attached to J4, the user may change the IP settings used to communicate with the unit.
If the SSPA is powered up before the cable is attached to J4, it will use the default IP
settings as configured at the factory.
Important! To communicate with a Compact Outdoor SSPA with Ethernet via RS-232
while using Quick Start cable P/N L202151 (used with previous generations of Compact
Outdoor SSPAs), the old Quick Start cable harness will need to be modified. To do so,
open the MS connector shell and connect the chassis and communication ground pins
together (Pins V and d).

A.1 Ethernet Quick Start Cable
The Compact Outdoor SSPA with Ethernet is supplied with a cable that allows the user to
quickly setup the amplifier and verify its operation. The “Quick-Start” cable is shown in
Figure A-1
, and the Wiring Chart is shown in
Table A-1
.
The MS-type connector at P1 plugs into Port J4 of the SSPA. The RJ-45 connector at P2
mates with most Ethernet ports on notebook and desktop personal computers. See
Table 3-1
for a full pin-out of the M&C Connector port J4.
