AVCW-G Radio Key Features Plug & Play — o No driver on the host device is required for radio operation o Radio operation is independent of the operating system on computer or any connecting device (Windows 98/2000/ME/XP, MAC, Linux, Unix, embedded, etc.), as long as the device has a properly supported Ethernet port. -
Page 6: Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
Important: After the radio units are properly installed and positioned, use the provided coax-seal tapes to wind around and seal the connection between the radio and Ethernet cable and, for AVCW-G, the connection between the radio and the antenna. This prevents moisture from entering and damaging the radio. -

potential packet collision associated with hidden nodes in a wireless network, IEEE 802.11 standard has the option to complete a “Request to Send (RTS)” and “Clear to Send (CTS)” two-frame exchange prior to sending the real data. This reduces the throughput of the real data. Since the probability of packet collision increases with the size of the packets transmitted, an optimum trade-off between data-throughput and data- integrity may be reached by turning on the two-frame exchange only for... - Page 18 Select 'DHCP' to get the IP settings from a DHCP server on your network.
