that the BDR RCS address matches the address in the frames from the user
supplied equipment.
2. Remove the external cables from DATA 1 (Base and Mobile) and DATA 2
(Base) ports. With an oscilloscope, verify the presence of the 64 KHz TX and
RX clocks and the RX data signals at the DATA 1 (Base and Mobile) and DATA
2 ports. Refer to BDR Data 1 Port Cable Pin-outs, BDR Data 2 Port Cable
Pin-outs, and MDR Data 1 Port Pin-outs for pinout details. If the signals are
