Connecting an Antenna Relay
You can connect a base station that will operate in Simplex mode to an
coaxial antenna relay. This makes it possible to receive and transmit using the
same antenna. A pin in the 9-way D-range needs to be configured as the
relay driver.
Notice The the isolation of this relay must be >40dB. The relay clos-
ing time must be <20ms.
Tait offers an Antenna Relay Kit which comes complete with installation
instructions (402-00041-01).
Connecting the Ethernet Line
The RJ-45 socket labeled ETH provides the 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T
Ethernet connection to the other devices in the network. Use Cat-5 cable
to connect the ETH RJ-45 socket to the Tait P25 Network via a hub,
router, or switch.
If necessary, refer to “Digital Interface Connection” on page 139 for a list of
Ethernet connection pin allocations.
