Installing and Configuring the MPI 6000

Figure 3-2 Antenna Connector Location
Table 3-2 lists the RF antenna connector parameters.
RF Antenna Multiplexing/RF System Test Connector
This connector is used when a single MPI 6000 is used to operate multiple lanes.
Ethernet Connector
The MPI 6000 communicates with a host via an Ethernet communications protocol.
This connection requires an RJ
–45 connector. If you use a switch between the MPI
6000 and a host PC, you do not need a crossover cable. If you connect the MPI 6000
directly to a host PC then you need a crossover cable. If you set the host PC to
Dynamic, TransCore recommends that you set the IP address to Static.
RS–232A Serial Communications Connector
The MPI 6000 communicates via a serial, RS–232, communications protocol (Table
3-3). The diagnostic RS–232 port can be used to display the operating system boot
sequence.
