2.3 DESCRIPTION OF BREADCRUMB LX
2.3.1 RADIOS
The BreadCrumb LX uses two radios. The LX only uses one antenna per radio. The LX has
N-type connectors for the radios. An 802.11b/g radio is used in the 2.4 GHz band and an
802.11a radio is used in the 5 GHz band. Also, most 5 GHz antennas will only support a
subset of the 802.11a 5 GHz channels the Rajant radio is capable of using.
Since the radios operate at different frequencies, you must be careful to use
the correct type of antenna with each radio. As an example, a 2.4 GHz
antenna will not work with a 5 GHz radio and vice versa.
The user should take care choosing an 802.11a channel from BCAdmin. The available
channels are:
U-NII Upper Band (Mesh Only, Mesh/AP):
Channel 149 : 5745 MHz 11a
Channel 152 : 5760 MHz 11a Atheros Proprietary
Channel 153 : 5765 MHz 11a
Channel 157 : 5785 MHz 11a
Channel 160 : 5800 MHz 11a Atheros Proprietary
Channel 161 : 5805 MHz 11a
Channel 165 : 5825 MHz 11a
