above the unit. If you have not enough rack-space for meeting this requirement, call SatService
to develop a suitable solution.
When planning the mechanical installation of the chassis, please consider that the connectors
are placed at the front and the backside of the enclosure. Depending on the flexibility of the
cables you are going to use, you will require about 10 centimetres space for cabling on both
sides of the chassis.
2.5 Connecting the sat-nms LFTXRX
The connectors of the chassis are placed on the front and on the rear side. The Front side
contains the fibre optic connectors and the L-Band test-ports, the rear side contains the
corresponding L-Band In/Out connectors and also the the AC-power and Data-connectors.
When you connect the L-Band Optical Link chassis, please consider the following:
J1.2 LAN is the Ethernet 10/100Base-T / RJ45 connector. Use a standard network cable to
connect the LFTXRX to an Ethernet hub or switch. If you want to connect your computer and
the unit directly without using a hub, you need a crossover cable for this with swapped RX/TX
lines. To meet mentioned EMC standards, use double shielded twisted pair CAT7 S/FTP
Network cable, e.g. DRAKA UC900 SS27 Cat.7 PUR. Take care, that cable shielding is
connected properly.
J1.1 serial is a standard 9-pin RS232 (DCE) SUB-D pin-connector. You may use a direct 9-
pin cable to connect a PC to the LFTXRX. To meet mentioned EMC standards, use double
shielded twisted pair CAT7 S/FTP Network cable, e.g. DRAKA UC900 SS27 Cat.7 PUR. Take
care, that cable shielding is connected properly.
J1.3 Alarm is a standard 9-pin SUB-D socket-connector. This connector contains the alarm
contacts of the internal failure relays. To meet mentioned EMC standards, use double
shielded twisted pair CAT7 S/FTP Network cable, e.g. DRAKA UC900 SS27 Cat.7 PUR. Take
care, that cable shielding is connected properly.
PS1 and PS2 are mains power-inputs. Only use IEC plugs with an earthing contact and
protective earth connection to connect the power supplies. Do not forget to connect the
"GND"-labelled screw to the PE potential.
The input, output and test-port RF-connectors are all SMA/50Ohm female in the standard
