2.1.2 Boardset Interfaces

The interfaces available from each RC4000 board are detailed in this section. For context, the most
typical use of individual interfaces within an antenna system is described. Differences to these interfaces
and how they are accommodated for a particular mount will be described in Mount Specific and
Enclosure Specific appendices.

Multiple connector types are used by the boardset. The following table assigns each connector type a
number and shows which connectors on each board use that type. Section 2.1.2.4.x (x = type) will
provide details of each connector type.

As each interface is defined its connector designation, PCB board nomenclature, pin count and connector
type will initially be shown in bold. For example:

J1 "AC Power" 3 pin Type 1

If there is no nomenclature on the PCB for a particular connector, it will be shown as "none ".
