ePMP 4500C with only 4x4 antenna?

I want to replace a Mimosa that has a 4x4 antenna. I could do this quickly if I could run the 4500C in a 4x4 mode. Can I disable any channels, or install terminators on unused ports to use the 4500C as a 4x4 radio until I am able to add the additional antenna chains?

Thank you, Chris

Hello @uberdome,

unfortunately we don’t test such scenario in our lab.
But theoretically there should be no issues if you put only one 4x4 antenna and terminate other chains. To avoid self-interference.

I would suggest you to try to connect the antenna to chains 0/1/4/5. And compare performance between Sector and Split-sector mode. Keep the setting with the best results.

Omni/Split-sector article for your reference.

Thank you for the interesting question!
