Appendix C
Using SkyePlus Multiplexers with a CBIB
Overview
This appendix provides information for customers using older firmware releases
and using the Common Blade Interface Board (CBIB) to connect the SkyeModule
reader to the SkyePlus multiplexer.
You have two options for connecting your multiplexer to the CBIB:
● The MUX connector at J19
● The GPIO connector at J17
Using the MUX Connector (J19)

Note – This option applies only to SkyeModule readers with the CF-style
connectors.
To connect your SkyePlus multiplexer to the CBIB using the MUX connector at
location J19:
1. Use the 7-pin cable provided with your multiplexer to connect JP1 on the
multiplexer to the MUX connector at J19 on the CBIB (see
Table C-1 for
individual pinouts).
2. Use the antenna cable provided with your multiplexer to connect the RF
port of the multiplexer (J1, SMA connector) to the external antenna port of
your SkyeModule reader (ANT1, MMCX plug).
3. Set the MUX Control system parameter to 0x01 to enable the MUX
connector. (Use the same technique described in
‘‘Example: Enabling a
Multiplexer’’ on page 28.)
Figure C-1 on page 42 shows the pin and antenna connections.
