U.S.A. BBWX2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 2.0 Introduction The BBWX2 unit combines a Sirius Satellite Receiver (similar to the BBWX1) and an Ethernet 4-port Switch. The Receiver provides Sirius Satellite weather services and Sirius Radio (with two audio jacks). Currently, only Audio Port1 is active. Audio Port 2 is for future development. The Switch uses an Ethernet interface (100-BASE-TX or 10-BASE-T) to provide the network communications among the NavNet 3D equipment and PC.

U.S.A. BBWX2 INSTALLATION GUIDE 3.2 Mounting the Antenna • Do not install antenna where it can be damaged by being kicked or trampled. • The antenna beam is required to have an unrestricted view of the skies; this constitutes 5 ft [1.5 meters] out from the antenna and 1 ft [0.3 meter] above and below the antenna. • The antenna is to be installed on a flat horizontal surface. • The antenna can be installed as a standard “pedestal” mounting or “surface” mounting [non metallic surface only].
U.S.A. BBWX2 INSTALLATION GUIDE Note: For the power synchronization feature to function, 4 pair Ethernet cables must be used. See page 6 for a list of cable options. Connecting Cables to the BBWX2 Each cable type has a corresponding color-coded rubber cable grommet (for water resistance). The cable grommets are inserted into the enclosure cable tray of the Receiver unit (as shown below).
