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
recomme
nded.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tha tthis networkconnection isonthe
samesubnetasthePCrunningtheIHBrowserconfigurationsoftware.
