Do I need an antenna for the USRP x300/x310?

Do I need an antenna for the USRP x300/x310?

If you plan to transmit or receive over the air, you should also purchase an antenna. The USRP X300/X310 provide three interface options – 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1 GigE), 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE), and PCI-Express (PCIe). The PCIe interface is always available regardless of what FPGA image is loaded.

Is there a problem with WHS 2011 and new computers?

As far as I am aware, there is no current problem with WHS2011 and new computers other than >2TB volumes. All of my clients are Windows 10 based (including a UEFI based laptop) and they back up and restore from my servers – do you have the UEFI Hotfix installed on your server?

What FPGA image sizes are available for the USRP x300/x310?

Ettus ships two FPGA image variants, the HG or HGS image which has one 1 GigE interfaces and one 10 GigE interfaces, and the XG image which has two 10 GigE interfaces. Generally, Ettus Research recommends using 10 GigE to achieve the maximum throughput available from the USRP X300/X310.

Where is the unattend file for WHS 2011?

The unattend file is called cfg.ini, and needs to also be in the root of the thumbdrive with the WHS 2011 DVD image on it. Inside the cfg.ini, you’ll need to answer questions, so design your file like this:

What is the DB15 connector on the USRP x300/x310 used for?

The USRP X300 and X310 include a DB15 connector on the front panel that provides convenient access to GPIO signals. Each pin can be configured as an input or output, uses 3.3V-level logic, and is protected with basic anti-static circuitry.

What master clock rates are supported on the X300 and x310?

There are two master clock rates (MCR) supported on the X300 and X310: 200.0 MHz and 184.32 MHz. The sampling rate must be an integer decimation rate of the MCR. Ideally, this decimation factor should be an even number.

What are the recommended daughterboards for the USRP X300 and x310?

The WBX-120, SBX-120, and CBX-120 are recommended to take advantage of the full bandwidth capability of the USRP X300 and X310. The WBX-120, SBX-120, and CBX-120 have been upgraded from their predecessors (40 MHz) to use 120 MHz baseband filters. You can select your daughterboard based on the center frequency of your primary application.
