NOTE: The schematic depicts the functions of the RJ45 socket with the configuration socket wired "straight across". Obviously, the configuration socket allows re-routing of these signals to other pins when necessary, and when done will not match the descriptions shown above.

Recommended powering requirements:
The board is supplied with 5 VDC from the USB connection of the host or computer.
Recommended receive audio input level:
The DRA-100 accepts the widest range of audio compared to any other similar radio adapter. The
input signal is attenuated by a potentiometer, giving the broadest range of acceptable levels.
As little as 20 mV P-P, and as much as 20 volts P-P. If your receive audio level is adjustable
or programmable we recommend around 2.0 volts P-P. This allows very good signal-to-noise
ratio and low cabling cross talk. This level results in a 50% rotational setting of the potentiometer.
All DRA-100's are supplied with a Genuine C-Media CM119A.
