2.8 Network Connection
The P25net CC must be connected by a single Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable to either an Ethernet switch
or hub, or connected directly to a Base Station Controller (BSC). Either the front or rear RJ-45
connector can be used for this purpose, but both connectors should not be cabled to the same
device.
It is preferable to use the rear RJ-45 connector for connecting the P25net CC to a BSC, if they
are linked directly without a local Ethernet switch or hub. This leaves the front RJ-45 connector
free for connecting a PC for radio calibration or firmware updates.
2.9 Radio Interface Connection
Systems engineers at Raytheon have created interface cables and accompanying Application
Notes for a number of radios. The cables are shielded and terminated with connectors for easy
connection between the radio and P25net CC rear panel.
The application notes provide the cable schematic as well as programming and set-up
recommendations for the specific radio.
