Providing External Power to the EMUX

After mounting the EMUX and hooking up the wireless antenna,
connect the cable coming from the external DC power source to the
EMUX in the following way:

1. Remove the orange 4-plug connector seated in the 4-pin port on

the top of the EMUX.

2. Wire the customer-supplied power cable running from the

external power supply to the orange 4-plug connector.
Terminate the 2 wires from cable and the wire from earth
ground into the appropriate terminals on the orange connector
using a 1/8-inch (3-mm) flat screwdriver. Make sure the
screws are tight.
