Serial Data Connector

1
This 3 mm (1/8 inch) tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) connector is used for upgrading the
firmware in the transceiver/antenna. It will typically be unused.

Data Signal LED

2
This yellow LED indicates that a connection has been established between the
Eclipse base and the transceiver/antenna, and that it is actively creating a
coverage zone within which the beltpacks can operate. If it is off, check the cable
connections at both ends, as well as the powering.

Matrix Connector

3
This RJ-45 connector is used to connect the bi-directional signal from the
Eclipse base, directly or via the splitter. Up to 1,000 meters of 4-pair 24 AWG
CAT-5 cable can be used for this connection between base and
transceiver/antenna. If 26 AWG CAT5 cable is used the maximum distance is
500 meters.

Power LED

4
This green LED indicates that the transceiver/antenna is receiving power, either
from its local power supply or from the connected CAT-5 cable (distances up to
300 meters, or 925 feet, from the base or the splitter) being powered via the
Eclipse base.

DC In Power Connector

5
This connector is used to locally power the transceiver/antenna with the supplied
universal power supply. Use of local power is required when the
transceiver/antenna is located more than 300 meters (925 feet) from the Eclipse
base or the splitter, and is recommended even when the transceiver/antenna is
closer whenever it is available and convenient.
