The following document contains new antenna setup and operation procedures implemented with X-System firmware version 1.1.
Terminology Clarification: In other X2 package documentation, the term “Antenna” refers to the combination of the Radio Transceiver
device and its attached antenna. Within this document, “Radio Transceiver” (or “RT”) refers to the device, and “antenna” refers to
one of the RT’s detachable omni-directional whip antennas.
About This Procedure
With the release of firmware version 1.1, CoachComm adjusted X-System’s antenna diversity protocol for Radio Packs, which
will improve performance. In conjunction with the Radio Pack antenna diversity adjustments, we enhanced Radio Transceiver
performance by enabling single antenna operation.
For best performance, after
updating your system to version 1.1
, RTs should be set up and operated with a single whip antenna per
RT, which requires a change to each RT’s device settings within the system’s configuration file (CCF). Follow the procedures below to
update your system.
For assistance with your X-System, please contact CoachComm’s customer support at 1.800.749.2761.
