Cabling to the Heights Remote Gateway (HRG)

1) For information on the H64, H32, H16, or H8 Heights Remote Gateway (HRG) 1:1 auto-
enable functionality, see:
• Chapter 4. MODEM AND SWITCH CONFIGURATION
• Heights Networking Platform Spoke (Remote) Site Products Installation and
Operation Manual
(CEFD Part No. MN-HEIGHTS-SPOKE)
2) For information on the cables and cable assemblies specified in this section, see
Appendix A. CABLE DRAWINGS.
3) The figures provided in this section show the H64 Heights Remote Gateway as the
example unit. You must make note of the cabling differences, where applicable, for your
specifically deployed Heights product: The H64 or H32 (common chass, bottom), H16
(center), or H8 (top).
5.4.1 CRS-170A  HRG Control and IF Interface Connections Using
Cabling Kit KT-0000160
The HRG employs 10/100/1000 Ethernet (Gigabit Ethernet, also identified throughout this
chapter as GigE or GbE) as its sole terrestrial data interface. All cables and switches are
provided by the user. See Section 5.4.2 for the HRG Gig
abit Ethernet terrestrial data interface configuration and connection examples and details.
You must use Comtech EF Data's KT-0000160 1:1 Redundancy Control/IF Interface Cabling Kit (Section
5.2.1) for your control and L-Band Unit-to-Switch cabling connections. Figure 5-18 and Figure 5-19 show
how to connect a pair of HRGs together with the CRS-170A L-Band 1:1 Redundancy Switch module. The
table included with each figure lists the items you will need from this kit for your initial setup.
IMPORTANT: It is ESSENTIAL that you make the Control and the IF Rx and Tx connections
correctly. See Section 5.4.1.1 for details about the HRG Unit-to-Switch Control Interface
connection, and Section 5.4.1.2 for details about the HRG Unit-to-Switch IF Interface
connections.
