• Primary LTE Antenna Connector – This is the radio's receive and transmit
port. For best results, use the included antennas, placed in a V formation. You
can attach the antennas directly to the ES Series device, or you can use a
bracket and SMA coaxial cable to connect antennas located away from the
device.
• Secondary LTE Antenna Connector – This is required for LTE MIMO
(multiple-input and multiple-output).
Note: For more information, see
• Ethernet Connector – This RJ-45 connector connects any Ethernet-enabled
network equipment to the ES Series device using a standard Ethernet cable.
It is also used to connect a Windows PC that you can use to configure and
monitor the ES Series device, using ACEmanager.
This connector complies with the IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps
speed (Fast Ethernet) with fallback to 10 Mbps and includes auto-crossover
support. It is auto-sensing and auto-detects the speed of the connecting
device for 100 baseT or 10 baseT.
The connector has two LEDs that indicate speed and activity. For more infor-
mation, see Ethernet LEDs
• Power Connector – Connect the AC adapter or DC cable.
The ES Series device automatically starts when power is supplied.
• Serial Port – This 9-pin connector provides standard RS-232 DCE communi-
cation. For out-of-band management, you can connect this serial port to an
enterprise router. You can also connect a computer to the serial port to
configure the ES Series device using AT commands. For more information,
see Connecting the Enterprise Router or other Equipment
• USB Port – The Micro AB connector complies with version 2.0 of the USB
standard for high-speed operation. It accepts Micro A and Micro B plugs. You
can connect a Windows PC to monitor and configure the ES Series device.
