3.3 STEP 2—MEASURE & CONNECT
THE PRIMARY POWER
The primary power at the transceiver's power connector must be within
10.5–30 Vdc and be capable of continuously providing a minimum of 8
Watts. (Typical power consumptions are: 760 mA @ 10.5 Vdc, 580 mA
@ 13.8 Vdc, and 267 mA @ 30 Vdc.) A power connector with
screw-terminals is provided with each unit. Strip the wire leads to 6 mm
(0.25"). Be sure to observe proper polarity as shown in
the positive lead (+) on the left.
NOTE: It will take about 30 seconds for the transceiver to power up
and be ready for operation.

3.4 STEP 3—CONNECT PC TO THE
MDS TRANSCEIVER
Connect a PC's Ethernet port to the
over cable. The LED should light. Alternately, you can use a serial
LAN
cable to connect to the
Invisible place holder
port using an Ethernet cross-
LAN
port. (Figure 3-3 on Page
