6.15 ODU Power
DC power is supplied to the ODU(s) from the IDU RFU POWER
OUT 8-pin Weidmuller male connector. This connector is
present only on MTX5000 systems with the optional RFU 1 and
RFU 2 type “N” or TNC connectors.
RFU POWER OUT connector pinouts are shown in Figure 6-16
and Table 6-10. If you only have one ODU (RFU), power must
be provided from the RFU 1 section of the connector.

6.16 Remote Control Operations
The MTX5000 system may be controlled remotely using either
the optional Windows-based Remote Access Subnotebook PC
or a Windows-based laptop PC. The optional Remote Access
Subnotebook PC is a rugged, low cost, remote control option.
Using either laptop eliminates the need for a separate panel-
mounted remote control panel to control the MTX5000 system.
An RJ-45 crossover cable is required for connection to either PC
for mobile remote control operations. See Figure 6-17 on
page 6-27. The RJ-45 crossover cable is connected between
the MTX5000 IDU rear panel ETHERNET connector and the RJ-
45 connector on the optional Remote Access Subnotebook PC
or Windows-based laptop PC.
An RJ-45 crossover cable is provided with each optional Remote
Access Subnotebook PC. If you use a Windows-based PC in
lieu of the optional Remote Access Subnotebook PC, the RJ-45
crossover cable may be obtained from MRC or from local
electronics stores.
