CM7/8 100Base-T System User’s Manual
Channel Capacity
The CM 100Base-T radio transports 155.52 Mbps of data for two full-duplex 10/
100Base-T channels and a DS3/E3 channel. With overhead of only five bytes per packet
or around 1% the radio provides up to 180% 100Base-T bandwidth. When equipped with
an optional Wayside Traffic Unit (WTU), the radio can carry an additional DS1 or E1
asynchronous data channel with no loss of performance.
The radio uses 128 QAM modulation and has a 30 MHz RF channel bandwidth.
Equipment Description
Figure 1-5 shows a typical protected CM7/8 100Base-T. In this illustration the front cover
is off to show the radio frequency (RF) and signal processing (SP) shelves and individual
plug-in modules.
The RF Distribution shelf mounts to the top of the RF shelf. RF modules include the
Transmitter Unit (TXU), the Receive Unit (RXU), and the RF Power Supply Unit (RF
PSU).
The SP shelf includes the Access Panel and SP modules for IF signal processing,
orderwire, and alarm and control.
Remove the radio front cover to access modules before and after installation. With the
front and rear covers in place, the radio meets FCC Part 15 regulations for emissions and
with industry standards for radio interference susceptibility from external sources.
A covered cabinet allows enough ventilation to maintain proper system temperature.
Always replace the covers after installation, maintenance, or repair.
Table 1-B lists all standard and optional radio module. See Table 3-A in Chapter 3 for
part numbers associated with these modules. Read through the installation instructions in
Chapter 4 before removing or replacing modules.
