2.4.3 Auxiliary Data Connections
There are 5 auxiliary data connections for Lynx as shown in Figure 2-4 through Figure 2-6.
VF This connector is used to link two Lynx radios at a repeater site for Orderwire
operation. This would allow orderwire "telephone" calls to and from any point in the
Lynx network.
The Lynx orderwire circuit can also be connected to other existing orderwire
networks. See Section 3.14.1 for details.
ALARM This connector is used for monitoring alarms electrically. The alarm connections are
essentially the same as described for the front panel, however instead of LED
operation, alarm status is provided electrically by means of TTL and Form C relay
connections. The TTL and Form C relays can be connected to other transmission
equipment for monitoring alarm status locally or remotely.
DIAG-
NOSTICS
This is a serial interface port (RS-232 or RS-422, ≤9600 baud) to the Lynx radio. This
port provides maintenance information about the Lynx radio(s) to a connected
computer or terminal. This port is typically used for maintenance and troubleshooting
or connection to network management systems.
AUX
DATA
This is a serial interface port (RS-232 or RS-422, ≤9600 baud) which allows the user
to connect auxiliary serial data from one point in the radio network to another. This
facility can also be used for bridging the DIAGNOSTICS port for remote alarm and
status monitoring (TBOS network management) or for connecting other equipment's
serial alarm information. It can alternatively be used for separate data connection for
LANs or other serial devices.
PROTECT This port is not to be used in the field. It is only used at the factory. For Monitored
Hot Stand-by Protection, see Protection Switch manual (available on the Western
Multiplex FTP site, or contact the factory.
