6 Connection
Once the TB8100 BSS hardware is installed, you need to connect the
individual modules to each other, and to any ancillary equipment required
in your system. This chapter provides information on all the inputs and
outputs available on the TB8100 BSS.
6.1 Overview of Inputs and Outputs
This section identifies the main input and output connections for the
TB8100 BSS. Figure 6.1 below identifies the connections at the front of a
dual base station, and Figure 6.3 on page 57 identifies those at the rear.
Figure 6.2 on page 56 identifies the connections at the front of a single
100W base station. Figure 6.4 on page 57 identifies the connections on the
control panel. Refer to the following sections in this chapter for more
details on these connections.
