RLXIB-IHW
 
The RadioLinx® 802.11abg Industrial Hotspot™ (RLXIB-IHW) is a high-speed
wireless Ethernet radio, with PoE and Serial Encapsulation. The RLXIB-IHW
operates at speeds up to 54 Mbps, using the IEEE 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz band)
and 802.11a (5 GHz band) standards. Designed for global installations, the
RLXIB-IHW offers many Industrial features including hazardous location
certifications, IGMP Snooping, OFDM for noise immunity, repeater mode for
mesh architecture/self healing, OPC server diagnostics, extended
temperature, high vibration/shock and DIN-rail mounting.

Configuration
RadioLinx IH Browser is a configuration and monitoring tool for the RadioLinx
Industrial Hotspot radios. Use RadioLinx IH Browser to view your network
topology, determine the best "path" between Master, Client and Repeater
radios, and detect the presence of other vendors' 802.11 radios on the
network.
