The supported GNSS receiver is Ublox NEO-M8N. 4.4. Battery Back-Up The CrossLink TG is provided with a small dedicated internal battery for RTC and GNSS data retention. In addition to this it is possible to install a high capacity battery to allow continuous operation of the CrossLink TG without external power. -

Page 19: Analog Inputs
CrossLink TG Product revision: 1.0 Technical Manual 2019-03-19 These pins can be configured as inputs or as outputs. Note that if the pin is configured as an output it cannot be used as an input, and may be damaged if a voltage is applied while it is configured as an output. -

The first and last devices in the bus should be equipped with terminating resistors of 120 ohms. CrossLink TG does not have this terminating resistor internally so it must be added externally as depicted in this diagram. -
Page 21: Microphone Connection
They need a clean, very stable power supply (usually called VBIAS) that is provided by the CrossLink TG. Signal Input and VBIAS share the same pin in the connector, as this is the connection usually found in commercially available microphones. -

GSM module and this has preference over the usage from the user application. The orange LED on CrossLink TG is controlled by the GNSS module and gives one pulse per second when the GNSS module has coverage. -
Page 23: Usd Card
The duration of the internal battery is about 10 years. When the CrossLink TG resumes service from OFF or STANDBY modes, the CPU system time is automatically updated with the value from the RTC module. Hence any changes to the time should be performed on the RTC time as this is the master. -

Once the CrossLink TG is switched on, it starts executing the boot loader. Then, if the user stops the process, the CrossLink TG will remain in Service Mode. Otherwise the CrossLink TG continues loading the kernel and the file system. -
Page 25: Firmware
6.2. Linux Kernel This is a Linux standard kernel, version 4.4.19. As this is a standard kernel, PC developed applications are easily made compatible with CrossLink TG platform. Also this kernel can be updated to follow standard kernel revisions. The File System is based in a Debian distribution, codename Jessie. -
Page 26: Application Development
Once the cross compiler is installed, the user can use this compiler in the desired development environment, for example, Netbeans. To use the available APIs library functions, add the included CrossLink TG files in the application header files and compile the application using the provided cross compiler. -

6.3.5. CANBus FMS API There is an available FMS library, that can run in the CrossLink TG under a license. This library provides the most important data in a FMS bus available through a few simple functions. This library must be first enabled to use it. Please request this when you place your order for the device. -
Page 28: Tftp Server
7.2. TFTP Server The firmware components can be saved in a TFTP server in the same LAN where the CrossLink TG is connected, or which is accessible to it, and the CrossLink TG can retrieve them using a set of commands. - Page 29 Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector • Set the environment variables, for example when connecting the CrossLink TG in a LAN with private IP network 192.168.100.255 and the TFTP server in 192.168.100.1: env set ipa ddr 19 2. 16 8. 100. 2 env set ser v erip 19 2.

Page 34: Installation
CrossLink TG Product revision: 1.0 Technical Manual 2019-03-19 10. Installation Permanently installed antennas are preferred over magnetic, glass or body lip mounts for anything other than low power or temporary installations. However, a magnetic mount antenna is a good tool for checking the proposed fixed antenna location for unwanted effects or problems. -

CrossLink TG Product revision: 1.0 Technical Manual 2019-03-19 10.4. Location Choose a location for the device which allows for convenient routing and connection of the antenna and interface cables, and which has access to power source and status LEDs. When selecting a mounting location, if possible, avoid the following hazards: ... -
Page 36: Technical Information
Take care not to blind the internal antenna as this will impede the function of the device, placing the brackets in the upper side of the CrossLink TG, so that the antenna has an open view. See the “satellites up” signal in one the sides to guide on the installation of the fixing units, as this signal must have the open view. -
