CAUTION

No warranty is made that the MPC will meet its performance specifications if a non-NovAtel antenna

is used.

3.2 Rear Panel Functionality

The connections on the rear panel and their connector types are shown on Figure 3.

Figure 3: Close-up of Connectors on Rear Panel

Each connector is keyed to ens ure that the cable can be inserted in only one way , to prevent damage to

both the MPC and the cables . Furthermore, the con nectors that are u sed to mate the cables to the MPC

require careful insertion and removal. Observe the following when handling the cables.

·To insert a cable, make certain you are using the appropriate cable for the port - the serial

cable has a different connector (DB9) than the GPS Antenna In (TNC), or the Modem

(RJ11), or the Ethernet (RJ45) connectors.

WARNING: DO NOT PULL DIRECTLY ON THE CABLES.
