Ethernet Data Interface (Rj-45) - GE MDS SD Series Technical Manual

MDS 05-4846A01, Rev. H
Normally, the transceiver is adequately grounded if the supplied flat
mounting brackets are used to mount the radio to a well-grounded metal
surface. If the transceiver is not mounted to a grounded surface, it is rec-
ommended that a safety ground wire be attached to one of the mounting
brackets or a screw on the transceiver's case.
The use of a lightning protector is recommended where the antenna
cable enters the building; bond the protector to the tower ground, if pos-
sible. All grounds and cabling must comply with applicable codes and
regulations.

4.6 Ethernet Data Interface (RJ-45)

The transceiver's Ethernet Port is used to connect the unit to another
Ethernet device. The port has built-in MDIX (auto-sensing) capability,
allowing either a straight-through or crossover cable to be used.
Figure 17 and Table 6 show pinout data for the Ethernet port. The
Ethernet interface supports both radio management and payload data
transport functions.
For radio management, connecting via a web browser provides
enhanced functionality and ease-of-use over serial (
Telnet. Web-based management is the preferred and primary means of
accessing the transceiver through the built-in Device Manager.
Telnet may also be used on this connector, and provides the same
menu-based user interface available via
for radio control, refer to the SD Serial/Telnet Management Supplement,
Part No. 05-6193A01.
Various options are available for passing Ethernet data on this con-
nector, allowing system administrators to optimize the configuration for
maximum narrowband efficiency, based on the operating characteristics
of their system.
