Notes
:
Only one MIMO or Space Diversity group can be created per IP-20C or
IP-20C-HP unit. All MRMC scripts that support MIMO also support
Space Diversity.
For 4x4 MIMO links, CeraOS 10.5 is not interoperoperable with earlier
CeraOS versions. If you are upgrading from an earlier version with an
existing 4x4 MIMO link, you must follow the procedure in
4x4 MIMO Link from an Earlier Version to CeraOS 10.5 or Higher

Upgrading a 4x4 MIMO Link from an Earlier Version to CeraOS 10.5 or
Higher
For 4x4 MIMO links, CeraOS 10.5 is not interoperable with earlier CeraOS
versions. When upgrading from a CeraOS version prior to CeraOS 10.5 to CeraOS
10.5 or higher, if there is an existing 4x4 MIMO link, you must perform either of
the following procedures to properly upgrade the link. Option 1 is the preferred
option.
Important Note:
You
must
download the new CeraOS software package to all
four units
before
beginning the upgrade process. All four units in

Configuring a 4x4 MIMO Link
To configure a 4x4 MIMO link, you must perform the following steps:
1 Verify that the following three cables are connected between the Master and
Slave units on each side of the link. For details, refer to the IP-20C Installation
Guide or the IP-20C-HP Installation Guide:
◦
Source sharing cable between both EXT REF IP-20 radio connectors.
◦
MIMO data sharing cable between both IP-20 ETH3/EXT ports.
◦
MIMO signaling cable between both IP-20 MGT/PROT ports.
