Connections from the outdoor radios to the Base Station Unit are described in Chapter

Connecting the Backhaul Link
The standard backhaul connection for the Base Station Unit is a 10/100-BaseTX link.
This can be used for a range of different backhaul implementations, as shown in
Figure4-2
.
To make the backhaul connection:
• Obtain or construct a Cat 5 cable of the required length, with a standard RJ45
plug on the BSU end and the appropriate connector on the other end.
• Insert one end of the cable with an RJ45 plug into the RJ45 socket labeled
100Base-T
on the BSU front panel, as shown in
Figure4-3
.
• Connect the other end as appropriate for the particular backhaul implementa-
tion.
