Serial Data Connector
This 3 mm (1/8 inch) tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) connector is used for
upgrading the firmware in the FS-TA. It will typically be unused.
Data Signal LED
This amber LED indicates that a connection has been established
between the FreeSpeak basestation and the transceiver/antenna, and
that it is actively creating a coverage zone within which the beltpacks
can operate. If it is off, check the cable connections at both ends, as

When viewing an antenna status directly at the antenna, the amber
LED indicates that it is receiving a data link from the basestation,
however this does not guarantee that the basestation can receive data
messages from the antenna.
Matrix Connector
This RJ-45 connector is used to connect the bi-directional signal from
the FreeSpeak basestation, directly or via the splitter. Up to 1,000
metres (3,200 feet) of 4-pair 24AWG CAT-5 cable can be used for this
