MSAT-G2 Installation Guide
Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to provide assistance to personnel installing the new MSAT-G2 mobile satellite radio equipment. The guide starts off by providing installation-specific information on each component of the radio. Installation tips are then offered for fixed-site and vehicular scenarios. A section on commissioning instructions follows. The guide concludes with a troubleshooting section.
Installation Warning
This product is to be installed by Authorized Service Personnel. Damages resulting in the failure to conform to the instructions found herein, as well as standard installation practices, will be the responsibility of the installer.
MSAT-G2 Mobile Satellite Radio
The MSAT-G2 mobile satellite radio is comprised of three core component parts: the transceiver unit (the small black box), the antenna system (white domes) and the handset.

The TU is equipped with the following ports:
Power Port
The power port is the connection from the power supply (vehicle battery or some other 12 VDC power source) to the TU. The power cable has a +12V power line, a +12V ignition sense line, a horn alert line and a ground line.

Ethernet and Serial Ports
RJ 45 Ethernet Port
The RJ 45 Ethernet port is available for upgrade and future expansion of functionality.
The port supplies standard Ethernet line levels and supports all defined control line signaling. The pinout of the port supports a direct straight-through connection to a PC with a standard Ethernet cable. The PC shall be supplied with a dynamic local IP address using a standard DHCP exchange.

Figure 6 – Serial Port Pinout
Antenna Port
The antenna port is a 50 Ohm female TNC. This line carries RF, signaling, and DC power for the antenna. Note: Grounding the center conductor while power is applied to the transceiver can cause the transceiver's fuse and/or a fuse in the vehicle to blow. No modifications should be made to the RF cable under any circumstance
