Interface Connections
This section provides the pin number assignment and wiring information for the connectors on the
ExtendAir eMIMO Series radios. All connectors are shown as viewed from the radio rear panel,
oriented with the PoE connector at the lower left corner.
RSL/Sync Connector
This connector can be used during the antenna alignment process, to provide a received signal level
(RSL) voltage to a voltmeter. The connector is also used for connection to an optional Exalt GPS
antenna for the purposes of GPS synchronization, or used to send or receive sync signals to a
collocated radio, or to an ExaltSync Collocation Kit, for multiple radio sync. Figure 26 illustrates the
pin orientation and functionality for this connector.

Two Radio Internal Sync Out/In
If using the Internal Sync Out/In function between two radios only, connect Pin 8 from the Sync Out
radio to Pin 6 of the Sync In radio and use a straight connection for Pin 2. Connect no other pins. To
ease the need to keep track of which end of the cable is for In and Out, consider cross-connecting Pins
6 and 8, with a straight connection for Pin 2. Connect no other pins.
Sync Distribution Accessory
If using a sync distribution accessory (sold separately), connect CAT5e cabling straight from the radio
Sync connector(s) to the accessory.
Power/Ethernet Connector
This connector is the primary connector on the radio, and must be connected to provide power to the
radio, and primary Ethernet communications for traffic and Ethernet. Figure 27 illustrates the pin
orientation and functionality for this connector.
The Ethernet cable between the PoE injector must be wired as a straight connection. The wiring
follows typical wiring for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), and is 802.3af compliant and 802.3at
compatible.
