Dual Radio Units; Pre-Installation Programming Procedure With Programmer - Dual Radio Units - M/A-Com M7100IP Series Installation Manual

DUAL RADIO UNITS

The Dual Radio feature can be configured for two remote mount radio units or for
one front mount unit and one remote mount unit. In remote mount configurations
the Control Unit is typically located in the vehicle cab, with the Radio Units
located side-by-side in vehicle trunk. In front/remote mount configurations the
front mount unit is located in the vehicle cab, with the remote mount unit located
in a convenient location nearby. The remote/remote mount configuration is the
preferred installation, since a separate control unit is required to program the
remote unit in a front/remote mount configuration.
The following Dual Radio Unit configurations are not allowed:
1. Any configuration using a DIN cassette mount.
2. Any installation where Extended Options are required from both Radio
Units. Extended options are supported in one Radio Unit only.
