5. Physical Requirements 

 

5.1. Dimensions 

The overall dimensions of the NMX920 are provided below.  It should be noted that 
the NMX920 can be ordered with a variety of termination options.  It is the 
integrator’s responsibility to specify these options as required and maintain 
sufficient space around the modem for cable access, if required. 
 
The integrator is also required to maintain adequate ventilation about the NMX920.  
The amount of ventilation required will be dependent on the worst case transmit 
duty cycle that could be expected from the wireless application.  Failure to provide 
adequate ventilation will not damage the NMX920, but if power amplifier 
temperature exceeds safe operating limits, the NMX920 will perform a controlled 
shutdown.

5.2. System Interface 

The System Interface port on the NMX920 provides power, serial communication 
and status indicators between the OEM device and the modem.  In addition to the 
user signals, there are a number of signals that are used for manufacturing 
purposes.  Only the signals listed below may be used for system interconnection.  
All other signals should be ‘no connects’. 
 
The standard system interface connector is a 2 x 15 x 2 mm pitch connector.  The 
NMX920 may be ordered with this connector mounted on the top for cable 
interface, or underneath for board to board connection.  Refer to the Ordering 
Information. 
 
The NMX920 is available with either a RS-232 serial interface, or a TTL (5V) serial 
interface.  This is an order time option, and is not retrofitable in the field.  Refer to 
the Ordering Information
