3.0 INSTALLATION PLANNING
This section covers pre-installation factors that should be considered when installing the Master
Station. Careful planning will help achieve optimal performance from the radio. After reviewing
this section, refer to the step-by-step installation procedures beginning on Page 23.
The specific details at an installation site may vary, but there are three main requirements for in-
stalling the unit in all cases:
• Adequate and stable primary power
• An efficient and properly installed antenna system
• Correct interface connections between the Master Station and any connected equipment.
Figure 3-1 shows a common arrangement of the MPRS Master Station as used in a multiple ad-
dress radio network. The system shows both SD and legacy x710 remote transceivers in use. De-
pending on order options, the Master Station can communicate with remotes employing Ethernet
signaling, serial signaling, or a mix of both.
