16 EX7000-OEM Preparation for Use
EX7000-OEM HARDWARE SETUP
To properly set up the EX7000-OEM for use, the following cabling connections must be made:
• The DCB must be connected to the RDB via the Digital Interface Cable provided with the
EX7000-OEM. This cable should connect J1 on the DCB to either J1 or J1A on the RDB. The
selection of RDB connector is made by positioning the jumper at J20. For more information
on J1, J1A, and J20, please refer to the
Digital Interface Controller Connectors section.
• A connection from the user-provided power supply must be made to J7 on the Digital
Controller Board (DCB) and to J14 or J14A of the Relay Driver Board (RDB). If multiple
RDBs exist, power must be supplied to each RDB. A cable can be made using the information
provided in the
Power Connector section, as well as information provided by the power
supply manufacturer.
• A connection to the relays, attenuators, and filters must be made from the appropriate device
to the RDB. Information in the
Relay Drive Connectors section provide the user with the
information needed to create an appropriate cable.
• A connection between the Host PC and the DCBs LAN port must be made. A CAT-5e cable
may be used to make this connection. Note, this cable is not provided with the EX7000-OEM.
