AN-50 Terminal Installation 
 
This section describes the easy steps to follow to install the AN-50 terminal and 
associated equipment.  Figure  3 illustrates the three primary cables that are 
required to complete the installation including; Power, IF and CAT 5 (not 
included).  The power cord connects to a standard North American 120 VAC 
power outlet, the IF cable connects the terminal (located indoors) to the 
transceiver  (located outdoors), and the CAT 5 which connects the terminal to a 
switch or router for interface to the core network.
