R703       *Use specific Ethernet port for roboRIO. The roboRIO Ethernet port must be connected as specified:

A.      For VH-109 v1.5 radios: to the port labeled “RIO” either directly, via a Cat5 Ethernet pigtail, or via a passive PoE injector cable or adapter.

B.      For VH-109 v1.0 radios (either directly or via Cat5 Ethernet pigtail):

a.      to the radio port labeled “RIO” via a passive PoE injector cable or adapter (whether or not it is used to power the radio), or an Ethernet cable with the appropriate wires removed on the roboRIO end. All wires or adapters used must be fully insulated, or

b.      to the radio port labeled “AUX 1” or “AUX 2” with the corresponding DIP switch in the off (default) position.

C.      For OM5P radios (China events only): to the wireless bridge port labeled “18-24v PoE” (either directly, via a network switch, via an RPM, or via a Cat5 Ethernet pigtail).

Note: Placing a switch between the roboRIO and radio may impede the ability for FIELD STAFF to troubleshoot roboRIO connection issues on the FIELD. Teams may be asked to connect directly between the radio and the roboRIO as part of troubleshooting efforts.

If not using the “RIO” port of the VH-109 1.0, it is strongly recommended to cover the port to prevent accidental damage to devices such as laptops which may occur if attached to this port.
