No, this antenna will not be compatible with the RUT956, as RUT956 uses SMA connectors for mobile connection, and RP-SMA for WiFi, while the linked antenna uses FAKRA connectors, that are mainly used in the vehicle industry.
Can the second mobile antenna connector of the RUT956 stay unconnected/unused?
Yes, but the second antenna is used as a diversity antenna, which helps improve the signal quality, as well as strength. For use in vehicles, where signal strength might be spotty, I’d suggest using both antennas.
Are 2 WiFi antennas essential or can 1 antenna stay unconnected/unused?
Both WiFi antennas on the RUT956 are “main”, thus I cannot say for certain that it will work, but as for the mobile connection, I’d suggest using them both.
I’d suggest checking out our Combo MIMO antennas, as they seem to be what you’re looking for:
Is IPv4 only / IPv6 only / IPv4+IPv6 fully supported on this unit (depending on the mobile network offering) ?
For routing IPv6 is fully supported including SLAAC, DHCPv6, etc. However, some services (e.g. Serial over IP) might not support IPv6. Dual stack operation is also fully supported.
I have installed the 3742.05 antenna using Fakra to SMA adapter cables, so that part will be ok.
But is was wondering if the device can handle an active GPS +3,3…5,5 V 15…40 mA antenna ; the last device (other brand) i tried t use only supported passive GPS antennas.
Sending the GPS coordinates over IPv6 is supported ?
But is was wondering if the device can handle an active GPS +3,3…5,5 V 15…40 mA antenna ;
The device can output 3.3VDC, but only supports up to 30mA. So I cannot guarantee that your GPS antenna will not damage the device, as I’m not certain if there is any overcurrent protection on the GPS antenna circuit.
Sending the GPS coordinates over IPv6 is supported ?
Which protocol are you interested in particular? NMEA forwarding, AVL data, or HTTP POST?
The GPS data can also be sent over Modbus, MQTT, SNMP, etc.
