Software and features
This section only describes the areas where functionality is modified for the
connectorized variant. For details of the functionality that is common to the integrated
and connectorized variants, see Chapter 6 Operation.
Status page
The link loss calculation presented on the Status Page of the management interface
has to be modified to allow for the increased antenna gains at each end of the link.
The manufacturing process of the Connectorized 600 Series configures the standard
hardware of the unit for use with external antennas. The installer is prompted, as part
of the installation process, to enter the gain of the external antenna(s) and cable losses
at each end of the link. Peer-to-peer messaging is used to pass the effective antenna
gain to each end of the link so that the link loss calculations can be correctly
computed.

Configuration pages
The Configuration web page for the connectorized variant is shown in Figure 8-3. The
parameters Antenna Gain, Cable Loss and EIRP are specific to the connectorized
variant.
