Figure 1.1. Pole Mounted Radio
An eight-conductor CAT 5 cable must be connected between the pulsAR radio and either a Power
Inserter Unit or an Ethernet port capable of providing Power over Ethernet (PoE) per IEEE 802.3af.
The wiring for this cable is shown in Figure 1.3.
Table 1.4 shows the pin assignment of the three pin auxiliary port connector. The unit is shipped with
a cover in this connector. The connector can be used during installation as a console port and also as
an audio antenna alignment aid. There are two optional cables to convert from this non-standard 3-
pin connector to either a DE-9 connector (for RS-232 console) or to a standard audio jack (for
connection to a headphone). See Appendix E for cable diagrams.
