4. CONNECTION TO NETWORK
CONNECTION
Once the transmitter has been configured for the network, it is now necessary to install
the unit into the station and interface to the LIU (Line Interface Unit).
•
Verify that the antenna lead is connected to the station antenna. Install a Thruline
Wattmeter in series with the transmitter and antenna lead.
•
If a PSTN connection and dial Modem are available, install the dial modem and
connect it to the dial Modem port (on the rear of the transmitter).
Use a standard
DCE to DTE RS232 interface cable (usually supplied with the dial modem).
•
If an external frequency reference is used, select that option in software and connect
the source via a 50
Ω
coaxial cable and BNC male plug to the BNC socket at the rear
of the transmitter.
•
Identify the appropriate data, clock and mode control connections from the LIU and
connect them to the appropriate pins on the DB 37 connector at the rear of the
transmitter. The correct connections will vary depending upon the LIU used and the
mode of operation. Refer to Table 4.0.1 of pin outs for the DB37 connector.

Table 4.0.1 List of the DB37 connector pins.
•
Determine if PTT control is via the DB37 connector or will have to be automatic upon
the detection of data.
•
If desired, check the setting for the transmitter Hang Time (time that transmitter stays
keyed on after the last data transition has occurred on the TX DATA TTL [Lbit] pin).
This function can be altered in software .
•
Connect AC power to the transmitter and note that the appropriate test cycle occurs.
The transmitter is now ready to operate.
