Radio Port
Radio Port
The Radio Port allows the CPU module to connect to the
transceiver module itself. This connection allows for modularity,
assuring a smooth upgrade path for future radio or processor
enhancements. Normally, you will not have to touch this port,
since the Radio comes connected from the factory.
Console Port
Console Port
The console port is a female DB9 connector and allows for a serial connection between a local
terminal or terminal emulator and the BridgeLINK-Pro, using a standard straight-through, male-to-
female serial cable. A local terminal connection may be used to configure the CPU, although IPAssign
is a more convenient way to connect to the BPU. Although the BridgeLINK-II is browser manageable,
troubleshooting is often most easily done using the
Console Port.
There is very little clearance to
attach a commercial DB9 connector, so use it only when absolutely necessary.
Ethernet Port
Ethernet Port
The 10BaseT Ethernet port RJ-45 jack, located inside the BPU unit, accepts a standard shielded
RJ-45 plug from the PoE Adapter module. The 10BaseT interface is set to automatically detect
MDI/MDI-X, and you may hear a clicking sound during this detection process. A crossover cable is
therefore not necessary to connect the PoE Injector to a laptop, simplifying field configurations.
