Bench Test and Demo System Setup

Care must be taken with placement of antenna in relation to the radios and the other antennas. Strong radio signals

can saturate the receiver, hindering the overall radio communications. When setting up a bench test, demonstration,

or short range system, the following considerations should be taken into account for optimum radio performance

and reduced signal saturation.

• Reduce radio transmit power by adjusting the transmit power level on the Radio webpage (see “4.6 Radio

Configuration” on page 33).

• If using demo antennas on each end, fit a 20 dB 5W coaxial attenuator in-line with the coaxial cable.

• Antennas must be kept a suitable distance from each other. Check the receive signal strength on the

Connectivity page of the module and ensure that the level is not greater than –45 dB.
