Installation Planning - GE MDS Master Station Technical Manual

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 24.
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 Master Station as used in a multiple address ra-
dio network. The system shows both SD and legacy x710 remote transceivers in use. Depending
on order options, the Master Station can communicate with remotes employing Ethernet signal-
ing, serial signaling, or a mix of both.
