The function of each Base station connector/port is described in Table 1. Note that every connector
present must be terminated to ensure proper Base station operation. Please refer to the Mercury
Quantum 6600 Installation Guide for comprehensive installation procedures.
Connector
Function
Power
-48VDC power source inputs for the unit. DC power connector: LTW
BB-04PMMS-LC7001 (chassis), LTW BB-04BFFA-LL7001 (mate)
GPS
N-type female connector for mandatory external GPS antenna. 3.3V power on
center pin.
ETH-1
This Gigabit Ethernet port serves as the data traffic backhaul Interface and also
provides for in-band management of the Base Station. Available port options are
Cat-5 (RJ-45), Single-Mode Fiber (HartingPull/Han 3 A), and Multi-Mode (LC
duplex) Fiber.
ETH-2
This Gigabit Ethernet port may be used for out-of-band management of the Base
Station. It may also be used to connect to an external device, such as a web
camera. Available port options are Cat-5 (RJ45), Single-Mode Fiber
(HartingPull/Han 3 A), and Multi-Mode (LC duplex) Fiber.
Console
