3.1.2 ANTENNAS
In the Antenna section it is possible to select the antennas. There are four antennas available and each can be expanded into four units, making a total
of sixteen antennas. An eXpander can be assigned by checking the “Enable eXpander #” option. The STARex can connect to both options but only one
antenna will transmit at any given time. There is a Clear button displayed at the top right side of this section which resets the antenna selection only.

3.1.3 ENODE 1 - ENODE 2
In the eNode section, the eNode ID is entered, this eld is editable and when the eNode is not entered, all the related options remain disabled.
A single indicator describes if eXpanders are used. eNodes can be congured as either 4-port devices with antennas attached or as 16-port devices with
eXpanders attached.
The Clear button is displayed at the top right side, this resets the antenna selection.
When an eNode ID is entered and no antennas are selected, after clicking save, an error message is displayed at the top of the page and the entire anten-
nas section is marked to notify the user about the missing conguration. The same behavior is displayed with the eNode sections when no port antennas
are selected. When the eNode ID is not correct, the text eld is marked with an error message below it.
