Setup Master Radio
The first step is to select the radio to use as a Master. All RLX2 radios in a network are
typically the same model, although this is not necessary.
IMPORTANT: The only RLX2 radios that do not have any channels in common with each other are
the RLX2-IHA and RLX2-IHG. The RLX2-IHW and RLX2-IHNF radios can communicate with each
other and with the RLX2-IHA and RLX2-IHG radios.
If all the radios are present on the workbench, antennas may not be needed for this
configuration exercise. Radios without antennas may have sufficient signal strength to
link over short distances, without radiating or receiving unnecessary RF energy in the
surrounding environment. However, connecting an antenna to the master radio is
recommended. The connections needed are on the bottom of the radio.
Note: The RLX2-IHNF-W Weatherproof radio uses M12 connectors for Ethernet and
Power. You can order these cables directly from ProSoft.
For RLX2-IHNF-W Radios
1. Attach an Ethernet cable with an M12 connector to the specified port shown on the
designated Master RLX2 radio. Make sure that this network connection is on the
same subnet as the PC running the IH Browser configuration software.
