Relay Mode- This mode allows the device to expand the mesh network without being connected to an End User Device (EUD), the Pro/Pro X unit will retransmit all traffic over the selected frequency set and can be placed in strategic positions or affixed to aerial platforms to greatly enhance range capabilities.

Note: It is important to unpair the goTenna after placing it in relay mode, the user will then need to pair the EUD (End User Device) to different goTenna Pro X.

    3. Press One more time, the LED will display white flashes indicating the unit is in relay mode.

Important note: the goTenna Pro/Pro X MUST be paired before being placed in relay mode via button press. the pairing process tunes the device to the desired frequency set.

 

Problem 2: How do I locate a device that was placed in relay mode?

Solution: Without being connected to an EUD the Pro/Pro X device cannot transmit its own location, a simple solution for static locations is to drop a pin on the map where the unit is placed.
