addressed based on the TMP connector configuration.

When indicating the output the follow i ng operati on modes ar e to be differentiated:

Standard
operation

In standard operation (feeder - SKK/PK) the output no. must
be entered corresponding to the TMP connector configuration.
For example: "TMP-pin 1 - feeder 1 - SKK/PK no. 1".

SD2 operation

When using a 2-way stud divider "SD2" only output no. 1 is to
be addressed.

SD5 operation

When using a 5-way stud divider the output no. is to be
entered corresponding to the "SD5" configuration. For
example: "SD5 connector configuration 3 - SKK no. 3".
