· The Ethernet cable should have RJ-45 connectors. The MP modem’s
performance is affected by the type of Ethernet card in the computer and
the type of cable used. The minimum requirement for the Ethernet cable is
an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, category 3 or 4. For better perfor-
mance, use a shielded, category 5 cable. The maximum length is 100 m
(328 feet).

implemented, you require
either two antennas or a
combination Main RF and
GPS antenna.
• Main Radio frequency antenna and cable. The antenna must have the
appropriate regulatory approval, 50 ohm impedance, and a male TNC
connector. It may be a hard or magnetic-mount antenna.
• Access Point antenna and cable. MP .The WiFi antenna is an RP (reverse-
polarity) male SMA connector.
• Additional Diversity RF antenna (optional). This is required if you use the
receive diversity feature. The additional antenna must have a male SMA
connector.
• GPS antenna and cable (optional). This is necessary if you use the built-in
GPS module.
• Power supply. This is usually the vehicle’s battery.
• Appropriate electrical grounding. If a ground wire is necessary, use a
16-gauge wire and connect it to a ground screw.

other I/O device is installed.
