12.2 Generic Antenna Model Naming
As of firmware version 2.21_A, the latest Andrew Antenna Definition File is distributed as part of the
firmware bundle. The Andrew Antenna Definition File now groups the antenna models into logical
“families”.
When configuring a RET, the operator will not find their exact antenna model
name listed as an option, but rather should select the appropriate model “family”
name (Figure 12-4). Each family model name is followed by three asterisks which
designates that several specific related models are included in the “family” group.
This approach allows the controller to support new antenna models within known antenna
model families, without a firmware update.
For example, the HBX-6513DS-R2M and HBX-6513DS-VTM antennas are both represented
by this family name: HBX-6513DS-***.
Multiband antennas also have a suffix to indicate the band. The DBXLH-6565A model family is
represented by: DBXLH-6565A-***-LO and DBXLH-6565A-***-HI.
