    When used with Tornado radios, Pyxis radios provide Tier 2 network connectivity from a selected set of Tier 1 Tornado remote locations to end points in the near vicinity. This is achieved by having Pyxis bases (BRU-P) co-located with Tier 1 Tornado remote radios (RRU-T) and connected via a wired Ethernet connection.

    (MDL) ULTIPOINT DIGITAL LINKS The MiMOMax Pyxis MDL is a highly reliable and robust point-to-multipoint wireless linking solution designed for mission- critical Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Telemetry applications. It consists of one or more Base Radio Units (BRUs) that support up to 250 Remote Radio Units (RRUs).

  • Page 12: Pyxis Radio Unit Overview

    PYXIS RADIO UNIT OVERVIEW MiMOMax Pyxis radios consist of the following modules.  Digital Processing System (DPS)  Transceiver (TRCVR) These modules are described in detail in the sections that follow. User data (Ethernet or serial) passes from the various interfaces into the Digital Processing System (DPS) where sophisticated processing takes place to code the data into frames for transmission.

    The receiver Front End consists of a RF saw filter, LNA and post-LNA bandpass filter. Incoming signals are fed through two switchable RF saw filters, which have band pass response centred at the low and high frequency bands that the Pyxis radio operates at.

    First, we connect to each radio unit locally. To do this, configure the IP address, subnet mask and gateway of the connected device or laptop. It is crucial that the laptops/devices are on the same subnet as the Pyxis radios and also that their gateway is set to the Pyxis’s IP address.

    The transmitting variant is the larger. It is very important that these variants are not confused because the lower discharge potential rating for the receiver unit will be triggered by transmitting voltages. This will cause a high VSWR and poor performance. © MiMOMax Wireless Ltd Pyxis Product Manual...
