Rear Panel Interfaces
5.1 Compact Flash
The compact flash slot is located on the right side as viewed from the rear of the unit. A 128 Mbit
flash memory card stores all the modem M&C and operational data. It must be present when the
modem is operating.
5.2 Power Input Modules
5.2.1 AC Power Input Module
AC Input Module (Figure 5-1) is located on the left side of the unit. Power applied to the port with
the supplied power cable is 100 – 240 VAC, 50 – 60 Hz. Integrated into the Power Input Module
is the Power On/Off Rocker Switch. Power consumption for the unit is 1A. A chassis ground
connection (#10-32 threaded stud), is located to the lower right of the module.
5.2.2 DC Power Input/Switch
The Optional DC Power Input and Switch (Figure 5-1) is available for all DMD50 products. The
unit may be powered from a 48v ± 5vdc VDC source with a maximum unit power consumption of
3 A. Refer to Table 5-1 for pinouts.
5.3 Chassis Connections (Standard)
5.3.1 EXT REF (J10)
The External Reference Port is a 50 Ohm Female BNC Connector and will accept the following
frequencies: 1.0, 1.544, 2.0, 2.048, 5.0, and 10.0 MHz). Input level: -8.0 to 0 dBm.
5.3.2 TX IF (J11)
The Transmit IF Output Port is a 75-Ohm Female BNC Connector that is used for 70/140 MHz IF.
The power level is programmable from 0 to -25 dBm in 0.1 dBm steps. The IF Frequency can be
programmed to 50 – 90 MHz or 100 – 180 MHz, in 1 Hz Steps.
5.3.3 TX L-Band IF (J12)
The Transmit IF Output Port is a 50-Ohm SMA Female Connector that can be used for L-Band IF.
The power level is programmable from 0 to -25 dBm, in 0.1 dBm steps. The IF Frequency can be
programmed to 950 – 2050 MHz, in 1 Hz Steps.
5.3.4 RX IF (J13)
The Receive IF Input Port is a 75-Ohm Female BNC Connector that is used for 70/140 MHz IF. If
the customer orders the 70/140 MHz IF, the Transmit IF Output Port is a 75-Ohm Female BNC
Connector.
