Before You Begin

For most applications, the installation and configuration steps described in the following
topics work without additional programming. ProSoft Technology strongly recommends
that you complete the steps in this chapter before developing a custom application.

About This Manual

This manual covers the entire RadioLinx
radio products. There are six models available in this product line:
Model
RLX2-IHA
RLX2-IHG
RLX2-IHNF
RLX2-IHNF-W
RLX2-IHNF-WC
RLX2-IHW
Although they have different operating frequencies and output power levels, these radios
all operate in a similar fashion. Different models operating on common frequencies can
communicate with each other. Furthermore, RLX2-IHx series radios can communicate
with ProSoft Technology's legacy RLXIB series of radios (except the RLXIB-IHN). See
Appendix I - Compatibility with ProSoft RLXIB Series Radios (page 229) for details on
the specific differences between the RLX2-IHx series and RLXIB series products.

About RLX2-IHx Series Industrial Hotspot Products

1.3.1 Product Overview

The RLX2-IHx series radio is an industrial high-speed Ethernet radio. Use it in place of
Ethernet cables to save money, extend range, and make connections that may not
otherwise be feasible. The radio operates as a wireless Ethernet switch. Any data that
can be sent over a wired network can also be sent over the radio.
The RLX2-IHx series radio series is certified for unlicensed operation in the United
States, Canada, Europe and other approved countries at 2.4 and 5 GHz. Contact
ProSoft Technology for a list of currently approved antennas. With approved high-gain
antennas, the radios can achieve distances over 5 miles with line-of-site between them.
Multiple repeaters can be used to extend this range to far greater distances.
