An SMA “GNSS” input is used to connect an external GPS/Glonass antenna. To establish connection with GPS/Glonass sattelites and check the coordinates of the device, an external antenna must be used and should be located outdoors. GNSS is optionally available in RB900SG-L2 and RB900SG-L5 modem variants.
RS232/RS485/RS422 interfaces The RB900SG terminal is equipped with RS232/RS485/RS422 interfaces on RJ45 socket. Use the jumper to switch between interfaces. All available jumper positions are presented in 7.1. Setting up the modem. The connector also carries the power supply from the ITRON SL7000 or ACE6000 meter, therefore it is not necessary to use an external power supply when connected to a meter.
