Horizon Compact Release 1.01.01 Wireless Ethernet Product User Manual – Volume 1
3.0 Physical Description
Horizon Compact is an integrated Ethernet modem and microwave radio transceiver, housed in a rugged
weatherproof housing. It is provided with two weatherproof connectors, Port 1 and Port 2. Port 1, copper
10/100/1000 Base-t, or optional optical interface, carries data and optional in-band management traffic.
Port 2, copper 10/100/1000 Base-t, carries optional out-of-band management traffic only . When Port 2 is
not in use, a weatherproof protective cap is used to seal the port.
A BNC style connector, with protective cap, is provided for obtaining field strength readings during the
antenna alignment process. The output voltage is linear, giving 1 mV per dB values e.g. -30 mV = -30 dB.
It is also used for providing a radio muting signal in system redundancy applications.
A high power variant is available, which requires a sun shield to meet temperature specifications.
