Accessibility
It is worth noting that at this point, Antenna Paths (and thus also Alternative Groups) do not consider the
starting points, i.e. Radio A-ports. This is because most antennas (and other end-points) are generally
accessible from most starting points. However, all these paths differ from each other at least in their initial part or
can include elements with different frequency ranges, limiting the usable frequency range of the given Antenna
Path for each Radio. A list of Radios (A-ports), for which a given Antenna Path is accessible, together with the
allowed frequency ranges, is given in the Accessibility column. Similarly for Antenna Groups, accessibility is
defined through a “liberal” rule: the Group is accessible for a Radio (A-port), if the radio can access at least one
member of the Group. The user has the option to selectively exclude any Antenna Group from the menu of the
SMD associated with a particular Radio (A-port), by deselecting the checkbox for that Antenna Group in the
respective Radio column in Bands tab.
