The consecutive antenna sub menu is restricted to Extended menu and offers sequential tweaks to the
ACN radio.
“LNA: Off/On”
enables/defeats the Low Noise Amplifier. This may improve receiving range on the
sacrifice of battery life time, default is
“Off”
.
“Select ACN Antenna: Int/Ext”
this option switches between built-in and the optional available SMA
antenna for increased range (available on Tiny Lockit and Lockit ACL204 in Extended menu only, ACN-
LS and Master Lockit do not have internal antenna).
Note: To accommodate for retrofitting of external antenna this choice will be permanently stored
and be maintained through a factory default restore. Only enable with genuine manufacturer
part firmly attached to unit.
“Select ACN tx power: 8dBm”
restricted to Extended mode and additionally PIN protected. As per
default the ACN is set to the globally maximum allowed ERP level for LR-WPAN of +8dBm. Consult your
supplier only if your application legitimizes higher settings up to 18dBm. Increasing output power will
strongly affect battery life time, so even if applicable use with good consideration.
USB / LemoACN
MTC
COM
Not available on ACN-ML Master Lockit
Sets the data port mode this is a dedicated USB port on ACL204 and ACN-LS (hence labelled “USB”) and
available on pins 3 & 4 on the Lemo “ACN” connector on ACN-TL, see pin out appendix for reference.
ACN-ML Master Lockit has no USB option for ACN and does not show this menu.
“MTC”
puts USB into MIDI mode. Connected to a computer the device will be mounted as a standard
USB audio/MIDI device and recognized by supporting software. No drivers or configuration required on
both, PC or MAC.
“COM”
sets the data port to USB serial. This is usually only necessary for updating.
Note: Although the setting is mode dependent and default to “COM” on “C-Jam” and “int TC” for
easy firmware update, you can enable “MTC” in these mode to make the device a MIDI TC
generator. If you want to convert LTC to MTC and vice versa, just select modes “TRX” or “Ext TC”.

Not available on ACN-ML MasterLockit
This menu lets you tweak the battery telemetry read out to the cell type in use. Pick from Lithium,
Alkaline primary cells, and NiMH rechargeables. Readout follows typical discharge curve and accuracy
may vary over different manufacturers and battery types, so take with grain of salt.
