NOTE
Although a DB9 RS232 DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) connector is ordinarily male, the female
connector has been used here for reasons of durability (i.e. there are no pins to bend). Use a
commonly available male-to-male DB9 adapter (not a NULL-modem) to adapt this connection to a
standard straight-through RS232 cable.

Cellular Modems
The RX1000 supports the following cellular modem line modules for operation on GSM, EDGE, HSPA+, or CDMA
networks:
NOTE
The cellular modems feature 50 Ω SMA antenna connectors on the front plate of each module.
The HSPA option is available for use on various GSM-based networks. This option supports GSM,
GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA. The Main antenna and Receive Diversity antenna
connections are made to the 50 Ω SMA connectors.
The following sections describe the cellular modem modules in more detail:

Section 3.9.1
EVDO Cellular Modem
The EVDO dual band card option is offered for use on Verizon's cellular network. The radio supports IS-95A,
1xRTT, 1xEVDO Rev0 and 1xEVDO RevA, and will automatically select the fastest mode available when a data
call is made. Main antenna and Receive Diversity antenna connections are made to the 50 Ω SMA connectors
