14.1. Connecting SPR to SDA

SPR interfaces with the subscriber's Ethernet network through the SDA. To connect

the SPR to the SDA, you need to connect the SPR's 15-pin D-type port to the SDA's

Ethernet radio port (15-pin D-type for all SDAs except SDA-1 Type II, which

provides an RJ-45 port) using a standard CAT-5 cable.

The SPR-to-SDA cable setup is as follows:

 Cable: straight-through 10BaseT Ethernet UTP 4 Pair CAT-5e 24 AWG

outdoor type (100 meters)

 Connectors:

 SPR side: 15-pin D-type male (only 6 pins are used)

 SDA side: 15-pin D-type male (only 6 pins are used) for all SDAs except

SDA-1 Type II (RJ-45 port)
