EB450 Quick Start Guide

Introduction

Welcome to the Quick Start Guide for the EB450 Base / Repeater

Data Radio. This guide provides step-by-step instructions, with

simple explanations to get you up-and-running.

Mounting and Environmental

Considerations

The EB450 Base Station is housed in a 2RU 19” rack enclosure.

The 4 mounting holes on the front panel should be used to secure

the unit to the rack.

The radio should be mounted in a clean and dry location,

protected from water, excessive dust, corrosive fumes, extremes

of temperature and direct sunlight. Please allow sufﬁcient passive

or active ventilation to allow the radio modem’s heatsink to operate

efﬁciently.

All permanent connections are made at the rear of the unit. This

includes: Power, Antenna, Communications Ports, Digital I/O

and System Port. The front panel has an additional System Port

connection point for easy access.

Full Duplex Considerations

The EB450 is designed for continuous full duplex transmission. An

automatic thermostatically controlled fan will operate whenever the

internal temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius.

External Duplexer Considerations

The EB450 is normally supplied with separate Tx and Rx ports for

connection to an external duplexing system.

Depending on the frequency band of operation and the Tx/Rx

frequency split, internal band reject duplexers are available.
