The WLAN port on the BDU is a reverse polarity SMA jack. A flexible antenna with
RP-SMA plug connector is supplied, part number HG2403RD-RSF.
To prevent blocking or attenuation of the WLAN signal, the BDU should be installed
such that there is no metal blocking the radio path to the user's device.

Antenna port

The ADU (antenna) connects to the 50 Ohm female TNC connector antenna port on the
BDU by an RF cable which carries L-band RF; signaling, & DC power (42Vdc) for the
antenna.
NOTE: The antenna cable carries DC power; do not connect or disconnect the antenna
cable while the unit is powered on.
ONLY use the Thuraya Maritime Antenna Type HN321 with this BDU – use of other
antennas may damage the BDU and Antenna and shall void the warranty.
