Scan Button
Press the button for less than 3 seconds to start a partial scan to find the best of
known frequency channels. Press and hold down the button for longer than
3 seconds to perform a full frequency scan of all channels.
Reset Button
This button is used to reset the RG230 or restore the factory default configuration. If
you press the button for less than 1 second, the unit will perform a hardware reset. If
you press and hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration
changes you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is
restored to the unit.
WiMAX Antennas
Two internal antennas are built into the RG230 for WiMAX communications. Either
“omnidirectional” or “switched-beam” antennas, depending on the model. The
omnidirectional antennas transmit and receive signals in all directions equally. The
switched-beam antennas detect the direction of the service provider’s base station
and only transmit and receive signals in that direction. Models with the built-in
switched-beam antennas provide better WiMAX performance than those with the
omnidirectional antennas.
WiMAX External Antenna Connectors
Two connectors are available on the top of the unit for attaching optional external
antennas. Depending on a user’s location, the use of an external antenna may
provide a better connection to a WiMAX base station. External antennas also offer
various possible mounting locations.
