Compatibility With Prosoft Rlxib Series Radios - ProSoft Technology RadioLinx RLX2-IHW User Manual

Compatibility with ProSoft RLXIB Series Radios

The RLX2 series radios are 100% functionally compatible with ProSoft's legacy RLXIB-IHA,
RLXIB-IHG, and RLXIB-IHW radio models. This allows customers with RLXIB series radios to
add RLX2 radios to their existing networks without any reconfiguration of existing assets or
obsolescence issues. The main differences in the RLX2 series radios are the following
improvements:
1 Different enclosure size for more efficient heat dissipation.
2 Faster, more efficient electronics that consume less power.
3 Gigabit Ethernet.
MicroSD memory cards for configuration data storage.
4
5 Internal temperature sensor.
The RLX2 series radios will acquire additional functionality as new firmware features are
added. These new features will not be ported to the RLXIB radios, but the RLX2 radios will
continue to work with RLXIB radios using their existing functionality.
The RLX2-IHNF is an 802.11n device that does not have an RLXIB series equivalent. It cannot
function as a repeater to ProSoft's RLXIB-IHxN series radio products. Specific differences by
product are noted in the following table. Specifications that have not changed between the
RLXIB and RLX2 series products are not listed.
