USRP B210 for 2x2 MIMO support

I'm trying to transmit data from two TX ports on a B210 USRP to another B210 USRP device for reception. However, the TX/RX B port doesn't seem to be working. On the receiving device, I only receive the signal from the TX/RX A port. I've tried transmitting signals on each port, but I only receive the signal from the TX/RX A port. Please help me!
Below is my program.
txRadio = comm.SDRuTransmitter( ...
'Platform', 'B210', ...
'SerialNum', serialNum, ...
'ChannelMapping', [1 2], ...
'CenterFrequency', 2450e6, ...
'Gain', 60, ...
'MasterClockRate', 30.72e6, ...
'InterpolationFactor', 8);
comm.SDRuTransmitter requires one of the following:
Wireless Testbench Support Package for NI USRP Radios
Communications Toolbox Support Package for USRP Radio

Hi,
The error message shows that the required support package is not installed. have you installed the Communications Toolbox Support Package for USRP Radio?
Also how did you check that port B doesnt work? have you observed the LED status while transmitting and receiving?
Is this a B210 radio or B200 radio? can you provide the output of findsdru
Hi,
I have already installed the Communications Toolbox Support Package for USRP Radio, so I am not quite sure why that error message appeared in my post.
Regarding the ports, I checked the TX/RX B port and the LED does light up during operation. However, when I use a separate USRP unit to receive the signal, I only get a response from Port A. Interestingly, when I test the hardware using Python, both ports work perfectly fine, which suggests the hardware itself is functional. I also tried the USRP B210 Ettus and got similar results.
Here is the output from the findsdru command:
>> findsdru
