Antenna
The Antenna supplied with the Starter Kit is a 3.3 VDC patch antenna
with integrated cable and connector for terminating to the interface
unit. This is an active antenna with +28 dB of gain. The MPM requires
approximately 10 dB to 14 dB of gain at the antenna connector on
board for best performance.

Power Supply
There are two ways to power the MPM Starter Kit using either the DC
power cable or the AC/DC converter.
For DC:
1. Connect the terminated end of the power cable to the power
connector on the interface unit.
2. Connect the red lead to positive voltage (+9 to +32 VDC).
3. Connect the black lead to GND.
The yellow lead is not used.
For AC:
1. Connect the output cable of the converter to the 3-pin power
connector on the interface unit.
2. Using an appropriate three-prong AC power cable (not
provided), connect the converter to an AC wall socket
(110 VAC or 220 VAC).
