Active Antennas: RLX-IHNF
There are three options for the
A
CTIVE
A
NTENNAS
parameter.
A,
B,
C
(the default setting; use for a three connector MIMO antenna).
A
O
NLY
for one antenna
A,
C
for two antennas. Note that if two antennas are used, they must be attached to
the ANT A and ANT C antenna connectors
MIMO antennas generally have three connections so all three antenna ports must be
activated. In general, using three antenna ports gives the best performance. When more
than one antenna port is active, the radio monitors the signal appearing at all antenna
ports and dynamically select the port(s) with the best signal. However, there are
situations where performance may improve if fewer antenna ports are active. If radios
are very close together (typically a few feet), all three antenna ports will receive
essentially identical signal strengths and the radio may continuously change antenna
ports, resulting in degraded performance.
Active Antennas: RLX2-IHW
There are three options for the
A
CTIVE
A
NTENNAS
parameter.
1
(one antenna, default setting). Use the main connector labeled
Antenna
.
2
(two antennas). If you want to improve performance in high multipath environments
through RX diversity, you can add a second antenna to the connector labeled
Rx
Only
and set
A
CTIVE
A
NTENNA
to 2 Antennas.
Active Antennas: RLX2-IHA/G
These models only have one antenna port and therefore the Active Antenna control is
not shown on the web interface for those models. (see previous image).
