If both usrps are attached to an ethernet cable, the data does not travel over the mimo cable. If only one usrp is attached to an ethernet cable, the mimo cable acts like a network switch. > > My second question is: > In a 4X4 USRP setup, how can we synchronize all the 4 USRPs without a MIMO > connection (between 2 USRPs within a pair), using a 10MHz reference given > to each of the USRP and a PPS source? You will want to share a 10MHz ref and PPS signal to the two master devices. The other two devices in the configuration can get reference and time, each from a mimo cable. http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/sync.html CHeers, -josh > Please not that I'm using USRP N210 for my experiments. > > Looking forward to your reply. > * > > > > _______________________________________________ > Discuss-gnuradio mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio > _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
