WITH THE FOLLOWING ACCESSORIES AN AC TO USB POWER SUPPLY, A SMALL SMA MALE
ANTENNA, A USB TO MICRO USB CABLE, AND A FLAT ETHERNET CABLE.  THESE ARE
THE ONLY PHYSICAL THINGS YOU NEED TO OPERATE THE OPENSPOT EXCLUDING THE
RADIO.  EVERYTHING IS MANAGED VIA THE INTEGRATED WEB INTERFACE OR DIRECTLY
FROM YOUR RADIO WITH PROGRAMMED PROFILES.  ON TOP OF THE OPENSPOT SEE
FIGURE 1, THERES A PRINTED DESCRIPTION OF EVERY PORT AND LED INDICATOR.  ON
THE FRONT PANEL SEE FIGURE 2, YOU HAVE THE SMA FEMALE ANTENNA CONNECTOR AND
FOUR LEDS PROVIDING VISUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEVICE STATUS.  IT IS NOT
RECOMMENDED TO USE A HIGH GAIN OUTDOOR ANTENNA OR ANY RF AMPLIFIER, BECAUSE
THIS DEVICE WAS DESIGNED TO BE A LOW POWER UNIT ONLY.  IN THE REAR SEE
FIGURE 3, YOU WILL FIND A MICRO USB PORT THAT PROVIDES POWER AND IS ALSO
USED FOR FIRMWARE/SOFTWARE UPGRADES WHEN CONNECTED TO A PC.  THERE IS A
RESET BUTTON AND AN ETHERNET PORT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO WI FI
