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.

Chapter

Congratulations on your purchase of the Redline Access Node-30e wireless

broadband system. 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.

Chapter

The AN-30e is a high-performance, high-speed wireless Ethernet bridge terminal

providing a scalable multi-service platform from a common equipment infrastructure

and management system. 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.

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.

AN-30e

user manual

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.

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.

Alarm conditions detected by the terminal are sent to the customer equipment using

the TDM signaling channels. Refer to the following examples of AN-30e system

behavior for additional information.

Example 1: Loss of Tx to a subscriber CPE

Loss of Tx to a subscriber CPE would result in RAI from the CPE to the

subscriber terminal. This signal is annunciated using the LEDs at the subscriber

terminal, and sent to the local terminal and the customer central office equipment.

Example 2: Loss of Rx from a subscriber CPE

Loss of Rx from a subscriber CPE would result in LOS being annunciated using

the LEDs at the subscriber terminal, and AIS being sent to the local terminal and

customer central office equipment. The RAI issued by the central office

equipment would be registered at each of the terminals and propagated all the way

back to the subscriber CPE.

DFS Action: Select the mode of operation for DFS.

The system set to master-mode monitors for interference from radar devices and other

equipment using the same channel frequency. When interference is detected, the

system automatically takes the action selected using the drop-down menu:

Important: DFS Action selection should be set to None where DFS function is not

required by regulations. DFS cannot be disabled where required by regional

regulations.

None: DFS is disabled.

Tx Off: Transmission is immediately disabled when radar signals are detected.

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

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

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. Check the

Master tick box in the Configure System screen of the web interface to configure a

system to operate as a sector controller. The sector controller establishes and manages

the bi-directional data link with the subscriber system. Uncheck the Master tick box

in the to configure the system to operate as the subscriber station.

Important: Only one system in a wireless link must be set for Master-mode.

Software Version: Select the version of the system software to be loaded when the

system is rebooted.

The system includes flash memory to hold two independent software images. This

allows updates to be uploaded without disrupting operation of the system. See Upload

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Chapter

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.

6.1.2 Evaluating TDM Throughput Requirements

The modulation and coding settings are regulated by the options key and are specific

for the number of enabled TDM ports (1, 2, 4 or 8). 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.

6.1.3 Mobility Networks

The AN-30e can be deployed in most mobility networks. 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.

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.

6.1.4 Enterprise Networks

Traditional TDM is used as a last mile transport for data, voice, and video traffic to

Enterprises and private networks. The following figure illustrates a typical Frame

Relay deployment using the AN-30 wireless system.

Synchronization

TDM devices operate in a master-slave relationship and use a reference clock derived

from the TDM signal. The clock accuracy requirement on a TDM network is

dependent on the distance from the equipment to the core. A typical requirement for

enterprises and private networks is Stratum 4 clock.

Troubleshooting can be performed using the front panel LEDs and the host

computer/server connected locally or remotely to the terminal.

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.

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

If the ping is successful try a short reset of the

terminal, and/or reboot the host computer.

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.

8.2 DC Power Supply Cable Connections

This section provides important instructions for connecting to a DC power source.

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.

TDM CLI Commands

The command line interface can be used to configure the E1 capabilities via the AN-

30e console port or through a telnet session. 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.

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.

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.
