the CLI User Guide for in depth coverage of those applications.
2.3 A Closer Look
The Mercury Quantum 6600 Base Station is a single, weather-resistant enclosure with overall dimensions
17.5” x 16.7” x 5.3” (44cm x 42cm x 13cm). The Base station is a single self-contained unit.
Note that the Mercury Quantum 6600 Base Station has no user serviceable components.
Mercury Quantum products employ a sophisticated and flexible hardware architecture that combines
general-purpose processors, and application-specific hardware. Together these components deliver the
processing power required to realize the high-performance required by today’s demanding applications,
while yielding the flexibility to support future functionality as needs arise.
2.3.1 Ports and Indicators
The Mercury Quantum 6600 connector panel is shown in Figure 2. The product’s flexible architecture
allows for a number of product variants to suite almost limitless deployment needs. The model shown
includes six antenna ports, two CAT-5 Gigabit Ethernet backhaul ports, and a DC power connector. Single
or Multi-Mode Fiber backhaul are also available. As the configuration of individual Base station models
varies, so will the appearance of the connector panel. All Mercury Quantum Base stations include a serial
(RS-232) console port, a GPS antenna connector, a ground terminal, and three high-intensity LEDs.
Note that a professional installer must complete the installation and weatherproofing.
Please refer to the Mercury Quantum 6600 Base Station Installation Guide for detailed
instructions.
