PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. The equipment must be connected
to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore imperative that the unit
is properly grounded, using the ground stud provided on the unit rear panel, during
installation, configuration, and operation.

External cables are attached to connectors provided on the rear panel of the unit. The unit
provides the following interfaces (Figure 1‐5, from left):
Power Interface:
• 100–240 VAC Primary Input Power Supply with Press‐fit Fuse Holder.
IF Interfaces:
• IF Operation: (2X) 50 MHz to 180 MHz via dedicated 75Ω Type BNC connectors (‘Tx
(OUT) | 70‐140MHz’, ‘Rx (IN) | 70‐140MHz’ ports).
• L‐Band Operation: (2X) 950 MHz to 2150 MHz via dedicated 50Ω Type ‘N’ connectors (‘Tx
(OUT) L‐BAND’, ‘Rx (IN) | L‐BAND’ ports).
RF Interface:
• (1X) 50Ω Type SMA connector for interface with an external GPS antenna (‘GPS INPUT |
EXTERNAL ANTENNA’ port).
Data Interface:
• (1X) D‐Sub 9‐pin male (DB‐9M) EIA‐232 input connector for optional interface with an
external GPS signal source (‘GPS INPUT | RS232 INPUT’ port).
Utility Interfaces:
• (1X) RJ‐45 10/100 BaseT Fast Ethernet Interface for HTTP and SNMP management and
control purposes (Web and SNMP) (‘ETHERNET MANAGEMENT’ port).
•
(FUTURE) (1X) D‐Sub 9‐pin female (DB‐9F) connector for connection to a 1:1 Redundancy
Switch (‘REDUNDANCY’ port).
• (1X) D‐Sub 9‐pin male (DB‐9M) EIA‐232 connector for serial remote control (‘CONSOLE’
port).
