If the satellite is a Server or Client that will use a radio
modem for wireless communications with other satellites
on the IQNet, then install the Y-cable. The Y-cable plugs
directly into the radio modem (see user manual that comes
with radio modem for installation and configuration
instructions).
l
If the satellite is a Server or Client that will use a wired
connection (IQNet PE Communication Cable) to
communicate with other satellites, install the straight
cable.
l
If the satellite is a Server or Client that will use a radio
module for wireless communications AND a wired
connection (IQNet PE Communication Cable) to
communicate with other satellites, install the Y-cable.
l
If the satellite is Direct (with no wireless or wired
connection to another satellite) no CM Port cable is
necessary.
