Power ON/OFF
The On/Off key switches the device on and off if power is supplied via the DC IN con-
nector. For details, see Chapter 3.1.8, "Switching on or off R&S TSME6", on page 31.
GPS antenna connector
An SMA connector is provided for the supplied external active GPS antenna (antenna
power: 3 V, max. 25 mA).
The behavior of the integrated multi-GNSS (GPS / BeiDou / Galileo / GLONASS)
receiver depends on "Product Change Index" of the controller board of the device (see
Figure 6-1).

R&S TSME6
The integrated multi-GNSS receiver uses three satellite systems in parallel. It offers
an accuracy improvement of 30 % to 50 % by using a second constellation of satel-
lites.
The following combinations are allowed:
– GPS only
– GPS / GLONASS / Galileo
– GPS / BeiDou
●
PCI of controller board ≥ 06.00 (u-blox NEO-M9V): R&S TSME6 (new), R&S
TSMA6B (new)
The integrated multi-GNSS receiver uses all four satellite systems in parallel.
The R&S TSME6 can perform untethered dead reckoning in tunnels to provide position
information even if no satellites are available. The untethered dead reckoning is per-
formed in the device itself by built-in electronic gyroscopes.
For enabling untethered dead reckoning, see Chapter 3.1.5.4, "Enabling untethered
dead reckoning", on page 23.
AUX connector
The AUX connector can be used to connect additional devices. It can be a signal gen-
erator that provides an external reference frequency for the R&S TSME6, or a synchro-
nization cable for multiple R&S TSME6 connected to one host PC.
LAN connector with LEDs
The LAN connector provides a high-speed Gigabit Ethernet interface with an RJ-45
connector using IPv4. It is required to connect the R&S TSME6 to a host PC.
The LEDs on the LAN connector indicate the status of the connection to the host PC.
LED 1 is on the left side of the connector, LED 2 is on the right.
