-
SS-TN9B-MIB board level radio with DB9l connector 12 VDC power supply
-
Hardware kit containing one SMA x TNC antenna cable, a plastic support and
screws for attaching the radio to the MIB
¾ For installing a radio in a CCU, use the CCU mounting kit [RBRD-CCUPLATE]
containing a mounting plate with screws and a DB9-M x DB9-F ribbon cable.
¾ Antenna cables and antennas are specified and supplied separately.
¾ The radio is shipped with the standard configuration as a secondary remote.
Connect the powered radio to the COM port of a PC running TransNet software program
using the DB9-F x RJ11 programming cable. Note: See Appendix for instructions on how
to connect the radio and use TransNet.

2.3.2 Extension (Repeater) Radio Settings
Radios can be configured to communicate with the Satellite that it is connected to and to act as an
extension or repeater radio to a radio/satellite that is too far away from the master radio for
adequate signal strength.
In the Master radio Store and Forward, set SAF = ON. Follow the chart below to configure the
Primary Address (XPRI) to that of the Master or the Extension it communicates to. Extension
60
Address (XADDR) must be the same as the Primary Address of the Remote that the Extension will
be linked to.

2.3.2 CCU Configuration
The radio is secured to the CCU using a plate [CCUPLATE] that attaches to the primary
communication board. A DB9-M x DB9-F ribbon cable connects the radio to the secondary
communication port.
The jumper settings on the CCU must be configured for Link:
W9 = B W10 = A W11 = A W17 = B
The Link switch = Maxi and the TW switch = off.
The dip switches 1 & 2 must be set in the same configuration for the Sats as the CCU
2.3.3 Satellite Configuration
The radio is mounted directly onto the MIB communication socket ,DB-9M.
The dip switches 1 & 2 must be set in the same configuration as the CCU
