• Secure connections (antennas, data and power)
• A clear transmission path between associated units
• An efficient, properly installed antenna system
• Proper configuration of unit settings
• Correct interface between the unit and other equipment
3.1 LEDs & Event Logging
The unit's LED indicator panel can provide useful information when
troubleshooting. Refer to Table 1 for LED status indicators.
An event (such as an alarm condition) is a notification that some-
thing significant occurred on the unit. Events can be stored locally
and/or transported to a remote server. Consult the Technical
Manual for details on Event Logging, including Common Event
Expression (CEE™) syntax.
4.0 COM PORT REFERENCE
The COM port (Figure 9) is commonly used to connect an external
DTE telemetry device to the unit, supporting either the RS-232 or
RS-485 (balanced) format, depending on how the device is con-
figured. The unit supports data rates of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200 bps (asynchronous data only).
This connector mates with a standard RJ-45 plug available from
many electronics parts distributors.
4.1 Pin Descriptions—RS-232 Mode
Table 2 provides pin descriptions for the COM connector when
operating in RS-232 mode. Refer to the Technical Manual for
RS-422/485 descriptions.

Pin # Input/ Pin Description
Output
1 Reserved -- (Do not connect)
2 OUT DCD (Data Carrier Detect)
3 Reserved -- (Do not connect)
4 Ground Connects to ground (negative supply
potential) on chassis
5 OUT RXD (Received Data)—Supplies received
data to the connected device
6 IN TXD (Transmitted Data)—Accepts TX data
from the connected device
7 OUT CTS (Clear to Send)
8 IN RTS (Request to Send)
NOTE: The unit is hardwired as a DCE device
