How to Optimize Your Airborne Performance by Selecting a New Point-to-Point Radio Channel Frequency

Optimizing the performance of your airborne systems through careful selection of point-to-point radio channel frequencies can significantly enhance system reliability and efficiency. In environments where signal interference or congestion is common, choosing an optimal frequency is crucial for maintaining a clear and stable connection. This guide is designed for professional users of airborne systems who understand the importance of precise frequency adjustment to achieve peak system performance. Prior to making any changes, it's essential to comprehend why and how these adjustments can impact your system.

Point-to-point radio systems operate on specific channel frequencies to facilitate communication between devices. These channels are isolated from frequencies used by other airborne systems, ensuring that each connection is secure and interference-free. However, selecting an incorrect channel not listed for your system may lead to connectivity issues, preventing your radios from pairing successfully. This process is aimed at professional customers seeking to optimize their system's signal clarity and overall performance, aware of the risks involved in manual configuration.

Before attempting to adjust your radio's frequency, contact ScoreBreak customer support to obtain the necessary login credentials for accessing your point-to-point radio's settings. Having the correct username and password is crucial for successfully logging into your radio's admin panel.

1. Connect to the Airborne WiFi Network: On your iPad or laptop, connect to the Airborne WiFi network to ensure direct communication with your point-to-point radio system.

2. Access the Admin Panel: Launch your preferred web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) and enter the IP address 172.16.1.20 in the address bar. You may encounter browser security warnings due to the nature of this IP address. Proceed with caution and navigate through these warnings to reach the login page.

3. Login: Once at the login page, use the credentials provided by your ScoreBreak customer service representative to access the radio's admin panel. It's important to note the current radio spectrum setting, typically near the 5210 channel, before making any adjustments.

4. Navigate to the WiFi Settings: In the admin panel, locate the WiFi tab, represented as the second icon in the left-hand list.

5. Edit the Control Frequency List: Within the WiFi settings, find the section titled Control Frequency List, MHz and select the Edit option. Here, you will adjust your radio channel settings.

6. Adjust the Radio Channel: If this is your first optimization attempt, toggle off the first radio channel in your list. For those making subsequent adjustments, toggle the previously selected channel back on.

7. Save Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, click on Save changes to apply your new settings.

8. Monitor the Reconfiguration Process: Return to the Dashboard by selecting the first icon in the left menu. Observe the radio as it pairs and configures itself to operate on the new channel. The new frequency might be similar to the original 5210 or located in a different part of the wireless spectrum.

Congratulations on successfully optimizing your point-to-point radio channel frequency! By following these steps, you have enhanced your airborne system's performance, ensuring a cleaner and more stable signal. Remember, this process is intended for professional users aware of the risks involved in manual frequency adjustment. For further assistance or inquiries, do not hesitate to contact ScoreBreak customer support.

Keep in mind that your WiFi router can also be a source of decreased performance and reliability. A simple but often effective solution is to restart the wireless router. You can restart your wireless router without turning the Airborne system completely off by pressing the power button located on the back of the router. This action can help clear up any temporary issues and improve network performance.

For the most stable and reliable connection, especially during critical games, it's wise to have a long (50ft to 100ft) Ethernet cable and an Ethernet to USB-C adapter readily available. This setup allows for a direct, hardline connection to the network, bypassing wireless interference and congestion altogether. Implementing these strategies will ensure that your network remains robust and responsive, even in the most demanding situations. This comes at the tradeoff of wireless, however can be a good option for having an additional iPad ready to go with the full game film on it.
