2.5 Installation of the BDU
The following sections describe the installation and grounding of the BDU.
2.5.1 BDU Interfaces
AC input connector
Connect the power cable to the AC power connector.
ADU connector
There is just one cable from the BDU to the ADU. This is used to power the ADU, supply
10 MHz clock, handle all communication between BDU and ADU, and deliver the VSAT
Rx and Tx signals.
