Chapter 2: Installing the system

2.7 Installing the 19" Rack Terminal

2.7.1 Overview
Because the terminal comes in two versions, there are two sections describing
installation of the terminal:
• one section for the TracPhone terminal (the previous section) and
• one section for the TracPhone 19" Rack Terminal (this section)
2.7.2 Grounding the terminal
Antenna cable
The antenna is connected to the terminal by means of a coax cable.
For the TracPhone FB500 antenna the coax cable is connected with a TNC
connector at the terminal end and an N connector at the antenna end.
For the TracPhone FB250 antenna the coax cable is connected with a TNC
connector at both ends.
For information on antenna grounding, see Antenna grounding on page 22.
At the terminal end, it is strongly recommended to ground the antenna cable.
Use a short cable from the terminal to a grounding point in the rack and
connect the short cable to the antenna cable at this grounding point, making
sure the shield of the connector is properly connected to the rack.
