ASTRO 25 Conventional Mixed-Mode Simulcast Voting Subsystem Equipment Cabling

This section provides a high-level subsystem diagram and equipment cabling tables from the MLC 8000 device to other system devices. A port description table lists the system devices and refers to the device documentation for more information.

ASTRO 25 Conventional Mixed-Mode Simulcast Voting Subsystem Diagram

ImportantHigh-level diagrams are provided as examples only and are not to be used for system planning purposes. “GPS” in the diagram refers to a Simulcast Site Reference device. This service is now called Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

NoteThis table provides part numbers for cables that are orderable from Motorola Solutions. Create the remaining cables using the provided pinout tables. See MLC 8000 Radio Ports Cabling.
