Power. The power receptacle (3 pin) accommodates the DC power cable supplied
with the SkyWay; it accepts 48 V DC. To apply or remove power, connect or discon-
nect the power cord to or from the AC/DC power converter.
Administration Console. The EIA/TIA-422 console connector (6 pin) accommo-
dates the console cable supplied with the SkyWay. The opposite end of the cable has a
DB-9 RS-422 connector that connects to a supplied RS-422 to RS 232 converter that
you connect to the RS-232 port of your PC or terminal. You can also connect the con-
verter to your modem. For a diagram, see “Accessing the SkyWay Bridge/Router” on
page 22.
Ethernet Port. The Data/Ethernet connector accommodates one of the following
two cables depending on the SkyWay model you ordered:
• 10/100 Base-TX (twisted pair) (8 pin)
• 100 Base-FX (fiberoptic) (2 pin)
The opposite end of either cable connects to your LAN or WAN server’s Ethernet
port.
RF. The RF connector (“N” type female) accommodates an LMR-400 RF coaxial cable
that connects to an RF antenna. For more information about antennas, see “Appendix
K: Skyway Antennas” on page 213.
