Installing the Device
2.5.4 Connecting a GPS Antenna
Note
For technical specifications, refer to
"Cellular Modem Specifications (Page 40)"
.
Note
A specific brand of antenna is not specified.
1. Mount the antenna to a pole or wall in an area that provides good signal
coverage and is away from any signal noise emanating from other
communications equipment.
Note
MIMO is not certified for use in the Republic of Korea (South Korea).
2. Using shielded coaxial cables, connect the antenna to either the
ANT1
(SISO) or
ANT5
(MIMO) port on the device. Make sure the cable is routed away from any
noise sources, such as Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS).
If needed, install a lightning protect between the antenna and the device.

Connecting a GPS Antenna
For increased signal coverage and improved performance, the GPS antenna is
intended to be installed in a remote location separate from the RUGGEDCOM
RX1400. The signals received from the GPS satellite network are at a frequency
of 1575.42 MHz. The GPS antenna must therefore have a clear view of the sky
to receive the low power signals and track the maximum number of satellites.
Structures, such as rooftops, that are clear of obstructions and have a clear view of
the horizon are ideal.
