3.4.1.3 AC
Fuse
The main AC power fuses for the Control Station are located on the left side of the rear panel (when
facing the rear panel) and is part of the AC Power Switch/Cord/Fuse assembly. Caution should be taken
when replacing a suspected blown fuse to ensure the proper value replacement fuse is re-installed. Fuse
replacement should only be attempted by authorized service personnel.
3.4.2 Antenna
Connector
The Control Station antenna connector located on the rear panel is a 50 ohm Type-N female panel-
mounted connector. Care must be taken to ensure proper antenna connections at all times.
3.4.3 Internal
Fan
The Control Station employs an internal cooling fan which is mounted inside the cabinet near the center
of the rear panel. The fan opening must at all times be kept clean and free of objects that potentially
block the free flow of air.
3.4.4 Earth
Ground
The Earth Ground connection is a #10-32 stud used to help dissipate any stray electrical currents away
from the station and to earth ground. This connection should be made before applying AC power to the
Control Station.
3.4.5 CAN
Port
The Controller Area Network (CAN) port is similar to standard serial ports and supports full-duplex
connectivity to optional M/A-COM devices. However, unlike standard serial ports, multiple CAN
devices may share a common CAN bus. A CAN bus is limited to a maximum distance of 250 ft. between
the two furthest devices connected to the CAN bus. The Control Station can be connected anywhere
along the bus. A fiber optic CAN bus extender may be used when CAN bus distances greater than 250
feet is required.
3.4.6 Phone Line Connection (Optional)
The Phone Line connection is an RJ-11 type connection used to connect remotely located tone remote
controllers to the station via a 2-wire or 4-wire dedicated phone line.
3.4.7 Computer
Connection
The Computer connection is an RJ-45 type Ethernet port. This port is used to communicate locally with
the Control Station via PC for programming, while the LAN port is connected to a Voice-over-Internet
Protocol (VoIP) controller network.
3.4.8 LAN
The LAN connection is an RJ-45 type Ethernet port. This port is used to connect the desktop to a VoIP
controller network. The controllers may access Control Station functions, commands, and handle
transmit and receive audio as IP packets making this a superior option for users with IP connectivity.
3.4.9 Serial
A
The Serial A connection is a USB Type B connection, and used to access the transceiver’s serial USB
programming port.
