Description
This control is only available on the RLX2-IHNF radios. The default is
set to A Only. The other options are A, C (for two antennas) and A, B,
C for three antennas. Note that if two antennas are used, they must be
attached to the ANT A and ANT C antenna connectors.
MIMO antennas generally will have three connections so all three
antenna ports must be activated. In general, operation with three
antenna ports will give best performance. When more than one
antenna port is active, the radio will monitor 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.
Enables the unit to write a copy of its Configuration to the SD Card
whenever new settings are saved from any pages of the unit's web
interface. Previous Configuration files are renamed with a unique file
name which allows auditing of changes made to the unit's settings.
Enables the unit's Clone function. On power up if an SD Card is
present that has a Configuration file different from the unit's current
Configuration the unit will adopt the settings from the SD Card. If the
Configuration matches or there is no Configuration file on the SD Card
then no action is taken. On inserting an SD Card into a running unit, if
the Configuration file found on the SD Card will result in the unit's
settings being changed on Powerup or Reset, a warning is indicated
by flashing the Signal Strength, MOD and NET LEDs.
In order to save this control as enabled, either an SD Card must not be
present, or the SD Auto Write Enable control must also be checked
when saving. If these conditions are not present the control will be
disabled before saving, to prevent the unit from reverting back to a
Configuration file on the SD Card after reset.
To adopt the Configuration file on an SD Card when this control is
already enabled, simply insert the SD Card and power cycle the unit. If
this control is not enabled, first enable and save the setting without the
SD Card inserted and then insert the SD Card and power cycle the
unit.
NOTE: Do not enable Auto Write if you do not want the active
Configuration file on the SD Card to be replaced when the unit adopts
and saves the SD Card's current Configuration file.
Immediately writes a copy of the unit's Configuration file to the SD
Card, independent of the Auto Write check box setting. Note that the
configuration files are in a binary format so sensitive data (e.g.
passwords, encryption keys) cannot be easily read from the files.
Saves the changes and updates the radio configuration.
Discards the changes without updating the radio configuration.
