CONFIGURATIONS
When connecting an OEM M1-3 multiplexer to a
Constellation 3xDS3 or 4xDS3 radio, DS3 errors might
be observed for shorter cable lengths. This can be
caused by reflections in the cable connecting the
equipment. Installing a 3dB attenuator in series with
the DS3 cable when the length is less than 10 feet may
be required. For additional information go to the Harris
MCD Premier website at
https://premier.harris.com/microwave.
