AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 13 of 104 1.7 Lightning Protection WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are followed. All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury. Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as: - Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into equipment. - Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from lightning induced currents. A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to malfunction. A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the IF cable shield and center conductor can be directed safely to ground by using a lightning arrestor in series with the IF cable. To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended for the wireless system: - Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the lightning arrestors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for terminating the ground wires. - Install one RF lightning protector between the radio and antenna in series with the RF cable. - A lightning arrestor in series with the IF cable at the point of entry to the building. - Install a lightning arrestor in series with the IF cable at the transceiver on the tower/mast. - The AC wall outlet ground for the terminal must be connected to the same grounding system as the radio and antenna lightning protectors. - The ground connection on the back of the terminal should be connected to the same ground for the building.

Redline Communications is a world leader in design and production of Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) systems. The AN-30e system consists of an indoor terminal and outdoor radio (transceiver and antenna). Figure 1: AN-30e System: Terminal, Transceiver, and Antenna A point-to-point (PTP) link is comprised of an AN-30e system configured as a sector controller (master-mode) and a single AN-30e configured as a subscriber station. The sector controller establishes a bi-directional data link with the subscriber station. The subscriber receives and sends data under the control of the sector controller.

The AN-30e system is a Class A digital device for use in a commercial, industrial or business environment. The AN-30e system operates in the 5.4 GHz to 5.8 GHz band and includes advanced technologies to address inter-cell interference. The AN-30e can be equipped with a narrow beam antenna to provide high directivity for long-range operations in clear line of sight (LOS) conditions. The system also delivers enhanced security through a proprietary over-the-air encryption scheme. Figure 2: AN-30e terminal The AN-30e system is equipped with dynamic frequency selection (DFS) to detect interference from other devices using the same frequency and automatically take a pre- selected action, such as disable transmission or relocate transmission to alternative frequency. The system also includes an automatic transmitter power control (ATPC) function to automatically adjust the transmit level of subscribers to match a selected RSSI value. The AN-30e PTP system operates using one end of the link designated as the sector controller (master) and the other end of the link as subscriber station. The sector controller MAC utilizes a request/grant polling mechanism to determine when the subscriber station requires bandwidth. When the subscriber station requests bandwidth, the sector controller MAC allocates uplink time slots based on current availability.
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 18 of 104 3.1 TDM over Wireless The AN-30e terminal supports simultaneous transport of up to eight full or fractional rate E1/T1 lines. Optional high speed Ethernet access is also available to operate concurrently with the TDM transport. 3.1.1 Theory of Operation TDM transport is achieved through a form of circuit emulation specifically optimized for wireless operation. The TDM signals are received by the AN-30e at the serial port interfaces, sampled, and encapsulated within an Ethernet frame structure. The Ethernet encapsulated traffic is transported over the wireless link to another AN-30e where the TDM traffic is reconstructed by reversing the encapsulation process and re-clocking the TDM traffic. Regular CAS signaling is passed transparently in the TDM traffic, and is not monitored by the AN-30e system. For fractionalized E1, at least one bundle on each port must include the signaling channel to support this pass-through feature. 3.1.2 TDM Configuration TDM signals on the RJ-48/BNC interfaces are sampled and the data is encapsulated into Ethernet frames. This data is transmitted over the wireless link where the TDM traffic and clock synchronization are reconstructed. The TDM signals are transmitted in up to eight separate bundles. Each bundle may include data from up to 32 consecutive timeslots, allowing full or fractional transport. Each bundle may be assigned a separate AN-30e system destination address. Fractional nx64 services allow the user to conserve bandwidth by sending only a sub-set of channels (time-slots) to transport over the wireless link. The TDM channels can also be mapped to different timeslots/serial ports at subscriber AN-30e terminals, performing a cross-connect function over the air. Figure 3: AN-30e Ethernet/TDM Transport
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 19 of 104 Jitter Variable transmission delays are introduced by the simultaneous transmission of TDM and data traffic. To insure proper timing of reconstructed TDM traffic, the subscriber terminal employs a jitter buffer. The jitter buffer is an industry standard method used to compensate for delay variations that occur during transport of the encapsulated Ethernet traffic. Latency To achieve the lowest possible latency, the AN-30e must be used exclusively for TDM transport and the Ethernet data port must be inactive. Use of the Ethernet port for in-band management or user data transport requires higher jitter buffer settings proportional to the level of non-TDM throughput. QoS The AN-30e uses IEEE 802.1p to enforce QoS for TDM based applications such as mobility backhaul and enterprise PBX traffic. Traffic can be assigned to high or low priority queues. Ethernet packets are examined and queued according to the priority tag. All TDM traffic is assigned to be high priority. Flow Control The IEEE 802.3x standard provides a flow control method for improved traffic shaping. When the AN-30e terminal detects a high traffic condition, or the wireless throughput is decreased, an IEEE 802.3x pause control frame is sent to the upstream Ethernet device. This control command inhibits the Ethernet device from transmitting additional regular data packets for the period specified in the pause control frame, or another pause control frame is received with the time set to zero. Only flow control packets can be transmitted from a paused device. Deployment A typical PTP configuration may be used for backhauling full rate E1/T1 lines in a mobility application. All traffic is terminated at the same endpoints. The AN-30e can also be deployed in a cascaded multi-hop configuration with drop and insert points. In the following multi-hop example, the TDM data is encoded and sent over the wireless link to other AN-30e systems. Data received on the wireless link may be directed to a local TDM port for decoding and/or routed to the Ethernet port connected to another Redline system for retransmission on a separate wireless link.

This action is recorded in the message log and an SNMP trap message is sent (if SNMP enabled). Following an interval of thirty minutes, the same channel is monitored for one minute and if there are no DFS triggering events, the system resumes normal operation. If DFS trigger conditions are still detected, operation is suspended for an additional thirty minutes. This cycle continues until no DFS trigger events are detected or the operator manually reconfigures the system.
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 44 of 104 Chg Freq: Relocate transmission to alternative frequency immediately when radar signals are detected. This action is recorded in the message log and a trap message is sent (if SNMP enabled). The new channel is selected based on allowable frequencies for the regulatory region of that installation. The channel is monitored for one minute before the system is allowed to transmit. If DFS triggering events are detected, the next available channel is selected and monitored. The system is not allowed to return to a channel on which DFS trigger events were detected for a period of thirty minutes. If DFS trigger events are detected on all channels the system suspends operation until the thirty-minute time interval expires for at least one channel. DFS Antenna Gain: Enter the gain (dBm) for the system antenna. It is important that this value is set to correctly match the antenna gain. If the antenna gain is set higher than the actual antenna gain, the DFS is less sensitive to detecting interference, and the system is not operating in compliance with the UK/ETSI standard. If the antenna gain is set lower than the actual antenna gain, the DFS is more sensitive to detecting interference and may cause false triggers. Important: The DFS Antenna Gain must be set when DFS is required by regional regulations. Tx Power [dBm]: Enter the default Tx power level (dBm). Section 8.3: Antenna and Power Specifications on page 81 lists the maximum transmit power setting based on the antenna gain for a series of frequency settings. There are restrictions on the maximum transmit power settings when operating at data rates above 24 Mb/s. Note: In some countries outside of North America, the maximum operational power per channel for a specific antenna is limited in accordance to maximum allowable EIRP levels for the region. Refer to the CE notice in the first section of this manual. ATPC Enable: Check this box to enable the ATPC on the system operating in master-mode. Both systems automatically adjust the Tx power levels based on feedback received from the system at the other end of the link. Important: ATPC cannot be disabled where required by regional regulations. Adaptive Modulation: Check this box to enable adaptive modulation mode. When adaptive modulation is enabled, the system measures RF performance (BER) and automatically adjusts to the highest available modulation/coding combination. If packet errors exceed one in one million, the system automatically steps down the modulation/coding to maintain the link at an acceptable BER rate. It is not recommended to enable adaptive modulation mode when using TDM traffic. Transient fade conditions may reduce the system throughput to a level incapable of supporting TDM transport. When dynamic modulation is disabled, the Uncoded Burst Rate and the Modulation Reduction Level settings must be set manually. Adequate testing must be performed to ensure that sufficient error-free bandwidth is available for the number of TDM channels to be deployed.
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 45 of 104 Modulation Reduction Level: This manual setting specifies how many levels the system must drop in modulation during re-transmission of erroneous wireless packets. The level can be set from 0-7, with '2' being the recommended value. Valid only when Adaptive Modulation is disabled. Uncoded Burst Rate [Mb/s]: Select the desired uncoded burst rate for the link. Master-mode: Check this box to operate this system as a sector controller. Each PTP link is comprised of a sector controller and a subscriber system.

AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 51 of 104 5.9.1 How to Use Apply and Save Configuration of the TDM module is a multi-step process. There are separate screens for configuring the general parameters, ports, and timeslots (bundles). To avoid creating instability during changes to the configuration, it is recommended to complete all editing steps before saving the changes. The AN-30e provides an editing template where all changes are made to the TDM configuration in an off-line mode. Changes to this template do not effect the operation of the TDM module. When TDM Config is selected in the main menu (left of screen) the AN-30e creates an offline-editing template using a copy of the current TDM settings. When any change is made to the general, port, or bundle settings, you must click Apply to save these changes to the offline-editing template. If you exit a TDM screen without clicking Apply, any changes made in that screen are discarded. When you click Save at the bottom of the TDM General Configuration screen, all settings in the offline-editing template are copied into permanent memory and loaded as the running parameters for the TDM module. Figure 24: TDM Editing Steps
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 52 of 104 5.9.2 TDM Config - General Settings The TDM General Configuration fields are in the main TDM System Configuration screen. The TDM General Settings apply to all TDM ports. Figure 25: TDM General Configuration Settings Line Type: Select the type of the serial port interface. E1 Line: TDM port interface is E1. T1 Line: TDM port interface is T1. Clock: Set the TDM clocking mode for the TDM module. All TDM ports use the same clock for transmitting and receiving. In a typical link deployment, the AN-30e located closest to a master clock is set for Rx Loop, while the remote-end is set to adaptive clocking. Rx Loop: Select Rx Loop mode at the network (master clock) end of the wireless link. Only one AN-30e system should be set to Rx Loop mode. In Rx Loop mode the AN-30e reference clock is derived from the receive signal of an active TDM port (see Sync On field). All TDM ports use this clock for transmission and reception. If there is no signal on the specified TDM port, then all ports default to using the internal AN-30e reference clock. Adaptive: Select adaptive mode at the remote-end (CPE end) of the link. In adaptive mode the AN-30e clock begins with a default clock speed and then continuously modifies the clock signal (adapting +/-) based on the jitter buffer level for the E1 port specified in the Sync On field. Internal: The AN-30e internal clock is used as the TDM clock. This setting is not recommended for in-service applications. Sync On: Select the TDM port to use for clock synchronization. The effect of this setting is dependent on the clock setting (above): If Rx Loop Mode is selected the AN-30e clock is derived from the receive signal on an active TDM port. At least one active bundle must be assigned to the selected port.
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 53 of 104 If Adaptive Mode is selected the AN-30e clock is derived from the jitter buffer level of an active TDM port. A single active bundle must be assigned to the selected port. The designated TDM port must have only one active bundle assigned when the clock is set to adaptive mode. Idle Code: Enter the idle code value. This code can be changed to match the deployment network. The default is 255 decimal. An incorrect idle code may cause synchronization errors. The idle code is inserted into all unused time slots when the TDM signal is regenerated at the remote-end (fractional or buffer underrun). Software Version: This field displays the software version currently running on the TDM interface. TDM IP Address: Use this field to set the IP address of the TDM module. This IP address uniquely identifies the AN-30e TDM module. TDMPortsEthernetPortWirelessInterfaceAN-30eTDMPort IPEthernetPort IP Figure 26: TDM IP Address Settings The subnet mask is set as the default for the class of IP address entered. The mask value cannot be changed. Vlan Voice: Enter the tag number to use for TDM traffic. Enter any value from 0 to 2095. If a non-zero number is entered, the TDM traffic will be transported as high priority using the entered VLAN tag, and will not appear on the Ethernet port. If a value from 1 to 2095 is entered, the TDM traffic will be transported as regular Ethernet traffic, will appear on the Ethernet data port, and will have the same priority as other data traffic including in-band management. This setting is necessary in a multi-hop scenerio where the TDM traffic must be routed between local AN30e/AN-50e systems using the Ethernet data port. Send: Click Send to save the general settings. If you do not click Send, the changes will be discarded when you exit this screen. Note: Clicking Send does not permanently save the current settings or make these settings active. You must click Send and then click Save in the TDM General Configuration screen to permanently save any new settings for the TDM board.

You must click Send and then click Save in the TDM General Configuration screen to permanently save any new settings for the TDM board. 5.9.4 TDM Config - Bundle Selection The TDM Bundle Configuration settings allow you to send full or fractional channels over the wireless. Use of fractional channels can preserve bandwidth by sending data for only the designated sets of timeslots. The TDM Bundle Configuration settings allow you to specify up to eight full or fractional E1 bundles. Use of fractional services can save bandwidth by sending only the designated sets of timeslots. Framing must be selected on ports where fractional bundles are specified. TDM signals are transported by encapsulating timeslot data within Ethernet packets. The AN-30e supports multiple packet streams, each grouping one or more timeslots. Each bundle may be assigned a separate destination address. If Fractional E1 is used, multiple bundles can be defined to a single port. This feature allows multiple fractional channels from remote-end AN-30e systems to be combined onto a single port of a network-connected AN-30e system. Figure 32: TDM Bundle Selection TDM Bundles: Use this drop-down menu to select a bundle. Config: Edit the selected bundle definition. Delete: Delete the selected bundle definition. Add: Create a new bundle definition.
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 57 of 104 TDM signals are transported by sampling the TDM port signals, and encapsulating the timeslot data in Ethernet packets. The AN-30e supports up to eight separate packet streams, each grouping from one to thirty-two consecutive timeslots. Each bundle may be assigned to a separate destination IP address. If Fractional E1 is used, multiple bundles can be defined for a single port. This feature allows multiple fractional channels from one AN-30e system to be combined on a single port of a network-connected AN-30e system. Restrictions: - Maximum of eight bundles for the terminal. - Bundle definitions cannot span serial ports. - Fractional bundle definitions on the same serial port must not overlap. - You must specify the framing format for fractional bundles. The framing information is required to extract the timeslot data. - Multiple fractional bundle definitions on the same serial port must not have the same destination port. Each bundle must specify a unique port at each termination point. - Signaling is not monitored by the AN-30e system. If signaling is required for fractional E1, the signaling timeslot must be included in the bundle. Viewing and modifying the TDM bundle settings is a three-step operation: 1. Select a TDM bundle to view or change and click Config. 2. View and modify the bundle settings in the Configure Port screen. 3. Click Send in the Configure Bundle screen. To make these changes permanent you must also click Save in the TDM General Configuration screen. Step 1. Select a Bundle Use the drop-down menu to select a TDM bundle. Click Add to create a new definition or click Config to change an exiting bundle definition. Step 2. Edit Port Settings These settings apply only to the bundle selected by the Bundle ID drop-down selection in the TDM System Configuration screen. Figure 33: TDM Bundle Editing Screen
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 58 of 104 Bundle ID: This is the bundle identifier for the TDM port. Each port has a default bundle ID (see following table). There are 32 time-slots reserved for each port. The following table lists the time slot numbers assigned to each port. Table 18: Default Bundle Numbers Port Bundle ID 1 1-32 2 33-64 3 65-96 4 97-128 5 129-160 6 161-192 7 193-224 8 225-256 The Bundle ID has a default name of the first time-slot for the port. If fractional channels are used, the first bundle must use the default name and any additional bundles defined for the same port should use the number of the first time-slot of that bundle. For example, fractionalizing port 1 into two channels could result in definitions of the first bundle ID = 1, and the second bundle ID = 16. Note: The same Bundle ID must be used at the destination AN-30e system. Dest Bundle: This is the bundle ID for the subscriber. The default value is the same as the Bundle ID. Begin TS: Enter the first active timeslot of this bundle. Framed: Begin TS selection is from 1 to 32. Framing is required when specifying fractional bundles. Unframed: Begin TS must be '0'. Time-slot 0 is required to transport timing and signaling information. Number TS: The number of contiguous time-slots in this bundle (starting at Begin TS). There are thirty-two time-slots reserved for each port. Framed: Number TS may be from 1 to 31. Unframed: Number TS must be set to 32. Dest IP: Enter the IP address of the destination TDM module. The Dest IP setting allows bundles to be sent to a specific TDM module on an AN-30e system. This IP address is the TDM IP Address set in the TDM General Configuration screen (not the IP address in the System Configuration screen). Jitter Length: Specify the delay variation compensation for all ports on the OTM module (8 - 300 ms). The jitter buffer is used to compensate for delays in processing and transporting encapsulated TDM traffic between AN-30e systems. Using the Ethernet port for in-band management or user-data transport requires higher jitter buffer settings (proportional to the Ethernet throughput). The Jitter Length should be set to the lowest value possible that does not trigger errors on the TDM interfaces.
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 59 of 104 Packet Length: Set the Ethernet packet length used by this bundle (from 128 to 1024 bytes). The Packet Length setting determines the amount of TDM timeslot data collected before the Ethernet packet is sent to the remote AN-30e system. Each timeslot sample requires eight bytes of data.

AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 63 of 104 Chapter 6 66 TTDDMM OOvveerr WWiirreelleessss The AN-30e is designed to simultaneously transport TDM signals and Ethernet data traffic over a single converged link. The two common AN-30e deployments are for Mobility Backhaul (TDM-only) and Enterprise backhaul (TDM + data). The following sections describe the basic operating parameters for each of these two applications. 6.1 Bandwidth Requirements An adequate fade margin is needed to maintain the modulated burst rate required to successfully transport TDM traffic. The working system should be evaluated on the worst-case modulated burst rate. This consideration must include the possibility of asymmetrical modulated burst rates for the uplink and downlink, caused by interference affecting only one direction on the wireless link. 6.1.1 Maximum Uncoded Burst Rates It is important that adequate testing be performed to demonstrate that sufficient error-free bandwidth is available for the number of TDM channels to be deployed (see tables in this section). The following table lists the maximum uncoded burst rates based on SINADR values.

Each TDM port being operated requires a minimum amount of over-the-air bandwidth. If the actual deployed link budget is marginal, or you are also sending data traffic on the same link, you may have to purchase additional bandwidth (higher modulation/coding). The following tables list the required bandwidth for operating E1 and T1 over the wireless link. The values provided indicate the (error-free) bandwidth that must be available exclusively for the TDM traffic.

Some networks can have characteristics that are exceptional and should be reviewed based on actual customer network configurations. The following figure illustrates a typical mobility backhaul deployment using the AN-30 wireless system. Figure 37: AN-30e Mobility Backhaul Deployment
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 65 of 104 Synchronization The accuracy requirement for this reference signal varies and depends on the mobility technology. When the reference signal is derived from the TDM network, the interface originating this signal must be a Stratum 3 clock (see Annex B). If the requirement is for a Stratum 1 clock, the reference signal is obtained from an external GPS system. Latency The standard for all mobility networks requires an RTD of less than 25 milliseconds (BSC-to-BTS value including all devices on the link). In some cases, specific vendor equipment may require an RTD of less than 25 milliseconds. It is not recommended to send data traffic for mobility network deployment. Transmitting Ethernet data will increase overall latency on the link. Also, do not use adaptive modulation, as the modulation/coding shifts introduce latency fluctuations that may introduce TDM synchronization errors.

Before troubleshooting using the front panel LEDs, check that all cables are securely attached. Also, verify that all fields on the System Configuration page are correct for both communicating systems. Entry errors in these fields may cause the terminal to be unable to establish a communication link. This section provides basic diagnostic and troubleshooting procedures to help solve problems that may occur with the system. If, after reading this section, you are unable to get the system operating properly, please contact your local Redline representative. Include the model name and serial number of the system (located on the back of the terminal) in your communications. 7.1 Factory Default Settings The following parameters are the factory default setting for the terminal. These settings are restored when a long-reset is activated. Table 30: Factory Default Settings Section Item Factory Default Setting System User Name admin Password admin Ethernet IP Address 192.168.25.2 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 0.0.0.0 Wireless RF Channel 5.765 GHz Tx power 14 dBm
AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 70 of 104 7.2 Troubleshooting the Web Interface These troubleshooting hints assume that the status LEDs on the front panel of the terminal displays normal functionality. Table 31: Web Interface Diagnostics Symptom Possible Problem Solution Incorrect IP address and/or Subnet Mask. Perform a ping test from the host computer command line. If the ping test is unsuccessful, then the problem is with the IP address. Perform a long reset to apply the default address (192.168.25.2) and Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0) Problems with host computer, or terminal. If the ping is successful try a short reset of the terminal, and/or reboot the host computer. Home Screen (General Information) cannot be accessed. Host PC ARP table is incorrectly configured Run the command 'arp: -d' whenever the terminal is swapped. Check that the subnet mask for the host PC matches the subnet mask of the terminal. Check that the host PCs address is 192.168.25.n, where n is not equal to 0,2, or 255. Attempt to login to the terminal using a Web browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer is recommended. If the terminal does not respond by displaying the login dialog box, check that the correct IP address is being used. The value 192.168.25.2 is the factory default value and may have been changed during installation. The next test is to verify the IP address is reachable from the computer. Use the ping command to test the connection between the terminal and host computer. The system always responds to ping frames less that 577 bytes in length. >Ping 192.168.25.2 If the ping test is successful, the host computer was able to send and receive packets to/from the terminal. The problem may be with the Internet browser or related settings on the host computer. Re-boot the host computer to try to resolve the problem. If the ping is unsuccessful, there may be problems using that IP address; the IP address may be incorrect, or there may be a duplicate address. For correct operation the host computer and the terminal must appear to be on the same subnet. For example, if the terminal is using the factory default settings, the host computer could be set for an IP of 192.168.25.3 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If the correct IP address of the terminal cannot be determined, it is recommended to perform a long reset to restore the terminal to the default value. Warning: Performing a long reset restores the terminal IP address (192.168.25.2) and IP Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0) to the factory default value.

The optional DC power supply is rated for operation over a range from 18 VDC to 72 VDC. Power is connected to the terminal via a fused power entry module located on the rear of the terminal. All DC terminals are shipped with a power cord assembly, consisting of the power entry modules mating dual pin polarized female plug, pre-crimped with 18 AWG blue and black insulated wires. All power wiring must be at least 18 AWG. The DC power input is floating (+Ve and -Ve not connected to chassis), allowing positive (minus to ground), negative (positive to ground) and floating power connections as required. Refer to table below for connection details. If the terminal does not power-on, it is possible that the blue and black wires are connected incorrectly resulting in a reversal of polarity. In this event, the diode protection prevents permanent damage to the power supply. Reverse the power connections and verify that the terminal powers up properly.

The CLI command set is divided into five categories: 1. General 2. Control 3. Serial Interface 4. Bundle 5. Statistics. Subsequent sections discuss each of these commands in specific detail. TDM Commands The AN-30e maintains three TDM configuration images, - Startup Configuration - Running Configuration - Temporary Configuration These three distinct configuration images allow the operator to edit (temporary) and test (running) configuration profiles in advance of cutover without losing the default (startup) configuration settings. Temporary ConfigurationRunning ConfigurationStartup Configurationtdm_start tdm_savetdm_copyTemporary ConfigurationRunning ConfigurationStartup Configurationtdm_start tdm_savetdm_copy Figure 42: TDM Configuration Files The control commands are used to manipulate the contents of each of the configuration images as well as to save and activate a specific configuration. There are four control commands: copy: Copy current running configuration into the Startup configuration. exit: Discard all changes made to the temporary configuration. save: Copy the temporary configuration image to the running configuration image. start: Synchronize the temporary configuration with the running configuration.

AN-30e user manual 70-00035-01 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2004 November 2004 Page 100 of 104 8.5 About SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a distributed network management system designed to monitor network infrastructure and application availability. SNMP has become the de facto standard for internetwork management. Network management systems consist of two primary elements: managers and agents. The manager is the console through which the network administrator performs network management functions. Agents are the entities that interface to the actual devices being managed. The AN-30e terminal is a managed device. Managed devices contain managed objects that may be hardware, configuration parameters, performance statistics, etc. that directly relate to the operation of the device in question, and are contained in a virtual information database known as a Management Information Base (MIB). SNMP allows managers and agents to communicate for accessing these objects. Management information bases (MIBs) are a collection of definitions that define the properties of the managed object within the device to be managed. Every managed device keeps a database of values for each of the definitions written in the MIB. The MIB is not the actual database itself - it is implementation dependant. The latest Internet MIB is given in RFC 1213, also referred to as MIB-II. The AN-30e operates with any third party network management system supporting SNMP v1 and MIB II. Most of the statistics and configuration parameters available through the web interface are supported via SNMP. The latest MIB file may be obtained by contacting your Redline certified partner or system integrator.

ARQ Automatic Repeat Request. This is the protocol used over the air for error correction. ATPC Automatic Transmission Power Control. The link master-end system automatically adjusts the Tx level of subscriber to match a target RSSI value. Beamwidth The angle of signal coverage provided by an antenna. BFW Broadband Fixed Wireless Bps Bits Per Second A unit of measurement for the rate at which data is transmitted. BPSK Binary Phase Shift Keying. Channel A communications path wide enough to permit a single RF transmission. dB A ratio expressed in decibels. dBi A ratio, measured in decibels, of the effective gain of an antenna compared to an isotropic antenna. dBm Decibels above a milliwatt DFS DFS can detect interference from other devices using the same frequency and automatically take a pre-selected action such as disable transmission or relocate transmission to alternative frequency. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A DHCP server automatically issues IP addresses within a specified range to devices on a network. Directional Antenna An antenna that concentrates transmission power into one direction. Encryption For the purposes of privacy, the transformation of data into an unreadable format until reformatted with a decryption key. Ethernet A LAN architecture using a bus or star topology FD Full Duplex. Refers to the transmission of data in two directions simultaneously (i.e. a telephone) FWA Fixed Wireless Access Gain The ratio of the output amplitude of a signal to the input amplitude of a signal. Typically expressed in decibels (dB). Gateway A network point that acts as an entrance to another network. GHz Gigahertz. 1,000,000,000 Hz, or 1,000 MHz GUI Graphical User Interface IF Intermediate Frequency. IP Internet Protocol. See TCP/IP. Isotropic A theoretic construct of an antenna that radiates its signal 360 degrees both vertically and horizontally—a perfect sphere. Generally used as a reference.

Corresponds to ISO Network Model Layer 2 data link layer. MHz Megahertz. 1,000,000 Hz Modem MOdulator/DEModulator. A hardware device that converts digital data into analog and vice versa. Modulation Any of several techniques for combining user information with a transmitter carrier signal. Multipath The radio echoes created as a radio signal bounces off objects. NVRAM Non-volatile RAM. System parameters are stored in NVRAM. This data is not affected by powering off the system. NLOS Non Line Of Sight. Completely obstructed path between two antennas. OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. OFDM spreads data to be transmitted over a large number of orthogonal carriers. OLOS Optical Line Of Sight. A clear direct path between two antennas, with obstructions within the first Fresnel zone. Packet A bundle of data organized in a specific way for transmission. The three principal elements of a packet include the header, the text, and the trailer (error detection and correction bits). PHY Physical Layer. Provides for the transmission of data through a communications channel by defining the electrical, mechanical, and procedural specifications. PMP Point to Multipoint PTP Point to Point QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying Receiver Sensitivity A measurement of the weakest signal a receiver can receive and still correctly translate it into data. RF Radio Frequency Rx Receiver S/N Signal to Noise Ratio SINADR Signal to noise and distortion ratio. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol The standard set of protocols used by the Internet for transferring information between computers, handsets, and other devices.
