Connections
The minimum connections required for an SDR-R to join a Mesh network are power and antennas. An
Ethernet connection to a PC is required for initial configuration.
Note: The power source must be 8-18VDC.
Depending on how the SDR-R is to be deployed, a video source, audio headset, or serial data
connections may be attached for additional functionality. Additionally, an optional amplifier integration
can boost the power output, thereby, increasing range. Please refer to the user guides for details.
Note: The cables in the image below are provided for illustration, a full list of cable options can be
found in the datasheet or user guide.
