4.0 Configuration
This setting establishes the transmit power level which will be
presented to the antenna connector(s) of the pMDDL.
Unless required, the Tx Power should be set not for maximum, but
rather for the minimum value required to maintain an adequate system
fade margin.
TX Power reflects the Total RF power for the pMDDL. In MIMO mode
this means that the total RF power is split between antenna interfaces.
When MIMO is disabled a total of 30 dBM can be presented to the
ANT 1 Antenna.
TX Power
Values (selection)

22 dBm
23 dBm
24 dBm
25 dBm
26 dBm

Refer to FCC (or as
otherwise applicable)
regulations to ascertain,
and not operate beyond,
the maximum allowable
transmitter output power
and effective isotropic
radiated power (EIRP).
The Wireless Distance parameter allows a user to set the expected
distance the wireless signal needs to travel. The pMDDL sets various
internal timeouts to account for this travel time. Longer distances will
require a higher setting, and shorter distances may perform better if
the setting is reduced.
Wireless Distance
Values (meters)
3000
MIMO (2X2) features of the pMDDL can be enabled or disabled using
this parameter. Disabling MIMO allows up to 30dBm to be presented
to ANT1 connector. When MIMO is disabled all communication is
through ANT 1.
MIMO
Values (selection)
ON / OFF
Set the Channel-Frequency. This must be the same on each unit in a
network. The frequency shown is the center frequency and is available
in 1 MHz increments, values shown will vary with the Channel
Bandwidth selected above.
The noise floor of the specified channel will dramatically affect
the quality of the link, it is essential to select the cleanest channel
for superior performance.
Channel-Frequency
Values (MHz)
pMDDL2350: 2304 - 2390 MHz
pMDDL2450: 2405 - 2479 MHz
pMDDL2550: 2500 - 2570 MHz
Select the channel bandwidth from the list. Refer to the specifications
to see the relationship and performance between channel bandwidth,
throughput and sensitivity.
Generally a larger channel has greater throughput, at the cost of
sensitivity, while a smaller channel tends to be more robust, but at the
cost of throughput.
Channel Bandwidth
Values (selection)
8 / 4 MHz
