Pow er/ Ethernet Connector
This connector is the primary connector on the radio, and must be connected to provide power to the
radio, and primary Ethernet communications for traffic and Ethernet. Figure 48 illustrates the pin
orientation and functionality for this connector.
The Ethernet connector implements Auto-MDIX, and therefore either ‘straight’ or ‘crossover’
Ethernet cables may be used, independent of the wiring of the connected device. The wiring follows
typical wiring for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), however the power consumption requirement for the
r-Series radio does not allow for ‘standard’ (802.3af) PoE, and only the Exalt power injector shall be
used. In addition, the Exalt power injector provides critical reset capability that would not be available
from a generic PoE injector, even if the power consumption requirement is met.

Ethernet 2 Connector
This is the secondary connector for Ethernet on the radio. Use it to connect other networking
equipment to the radio system or for the primary data interface when the Power/Ethernet connector is
being used for out-of-band management applications. The pin assignments are the same for this
connector as the PoE(1) connector, but without any power connections.
