• 4 Mbps to 900-MHz SMs up to 2 miles away in the sector.
• 2 Mbps to 900-MHz SMs between 2 and 4 miles away in the sector.
Example Use Case for Passing Sync
All radios support the remote AP functionality. The BHS and the SM can reliably pass the sync
pulse, and the BHM and AP can reliably receive it. Examples of passing sync over cable are
shown under Passing Sync in an Additional Hop on Page 96. The sync cable is described under
Cables on Page 57.
The sync is passed in a cable that connects Pins 1 and 6 of the RJ-11 timing ports of the two
modules. When you connect modules in this way, you must also adjust configuration parameters
to ensure that
• the AP is set to properly receive sync.
• the SM will not propagate sync to the AP if the SM itself ceases to receive sync.
Perform Procedure 33: Extending network sync on Page 426.
Physical Connections Involving the Remote AP
The SM to which you wire a remote AP can be either an SM that serves a customer or an SM that
simply serves as a relay. Where the SM serves a customer, wire the remote AP to the SM as
shown in Figure 46.
