RF Port
This port uses an RF connector, type SMA bulkhead jack, to connect a radio antenna that matches the
installed radio technology transceiver. A wave whip antenna can be directly attached at the connector
or, indirectly, via a length of RG-58/U 50 Ohm coaxial cable (usually attached to a magnetic mount for
the antenna). The coaxial connectors are typically ‘reverse threaded’ to prevent an inappropriate
antenna from being inadvertently attached.
Console Port
The console (external interface) port (20 pins) provides a servicing interface for the configuring,
testing, monitoring, and reporting functions that can be applied to the MT unit. This port supports full
RS-232 modem functionality for remote servicing.
