Each CCGW provides four RJ-45 connector ports for interfacing to analog conventional channels
Each port contains the following inputs and outputs
• 600 Ohm, balanced analog audio input - To accept radio audio from the channel. Can be configured to support

AGC, DLM, or no input conditioning

• 600 Ohm, balanced analog audio output - To send console transmit audio to the channel
• Input buffer - To detect Carrier Operated Relay (COR) closure in the channel
• 1 Amp, 24 VDC relay output - For relay keying of the channel

Each CCGW provides four RJ-45 connector ports for interfacing to ASTRO 25 conventional channels
• V.24 to station or comparator. No Digital Interface Unit (DIU) required.

Enhanced digital control of a consolette is achieved by using one of the analog ports and one of the V.24 ports.
Connect up to four conventional channels to each CCGW, including MDC 1200 analog, pure digital and/or mixed mode
(analog/digital) channels. In addition, each CCGW also supports up to 10 IP-based ASTRO 25 conventional channels.

Auxiliary Input/Output A simplified, user-friendly version of the MOSCAD SDM 3000 RTU is used to support most Aux I/O needs.
Server Hardware The output relays are capable of switching 1A @ 24VDC or 1A @ 24VAC. Input buffers are capable of sensing a dry
closure through 1000 feet or less (round trip) of 24 AWG wire. The RTU provides single pole Form A relay outputs.
(Double pole, Form B or Form C relays must be implemented using external relays which are controlled by the RTU relays.)
