If the OMU is equipped with a wireless modem an antenna for the modem
is necessary. This can be realized either via a separate antenna or via a
coupler on the RF in/out port in the OMU.
The coupler can only be used if the OMU runs on the same frequencies as
the modem and the Rx/Tx is combined (there is a duplex filter).
The separate antenna is plugged in to the Antenna connector on the far
right end of the OMU. The connector is SMA.
If the OMU is equipped with a PSTN modem the connector is placed in the
Modem Unit. The connector is RJ11
The Ethernet connection is placed on the Control Module. The connector is
RJ45.
Either a separate antenna is connected to the modem antenna port, or the connection is be made via
a coupler connected to the RF input to the OMU. The latter alternative can only be used if the OMU
runs on the same frequency as the wireless modem and is equipped with a duplex filter.
