AN-80i user manual 70-00072-01-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2006 October 18, 2006 Page 9 of 60 1.5 Lightning Protection WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer who 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: a) Poorly grounded antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into equipment. b) 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 grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a lightning strike away from the building and equipment. The remaining energy on the Ethernet cable shield and center conductor can be directed safely to ground by using a lightning arrestor in series with the cable. If you have determined that it is appropriate to install lightning protection for your system, the following general industry practices are provided as a guideline only: 1. The AC wall outlet ground for the indoor POE adapter should be connected to the building grounding system. as the AN-80i lightning protectors. 2. Install a lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable at the point of entry to the building. The grounding wire should be connected to the same termination point used for the tower or mast. 3. Install a lightning arrestor in series with the Ethernet cable as close to the AN-80i as practical. The grounding wire should be connected to the same termination point used for the tower or mast. 4. Provide direct grounding from the AN-80i, the mounting bracket, the antenna, and the Ethernet cable surge protection to the same ground bus on the building. Use the grounding screws provided for terminating the ground wires.

Figure 1: Intro - AN-80i Components The AN-80i is a high-performance, high-speed wireless Ethernet bridge for use in a commercial, industrial, business, or government environment. The system operates in the 5.8 GHz band using a time division duplexing (TDD) RF transceiver to transmit and receive on the same RF channel. AN-80i features include: advanced technologies to address inter-cell interference, enhanced security features through a proprietary over-the-air encryption scheme, and Automatic Transmitter Power Control (ATPC) to automatically achieve and maintain optimum performance. The AN-80i outdoor unit is housed in a weatherproof aluminum alloy case. The outdoor unit can be used with a selection of available external antennas. When equipped with a narrow beam antenna, the AN-80i supports long-range operations of over 50 miles (80 km) in clear line of sight (LOS) conditions. An indoor PoE power adapter provides operational power for the AN-80i and connection to the Ethernet network.
AN-80i user manual 70-00072-01-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2006 October 18, 2006 Page 12 of 60 Each wireless link requires two AN-80i units. One AN-80i is configured as the PTP Master and controls the wireless link; this function is transparent to all Ethernet operations. The master AN-80i uses a scheduled request/grant mechanism to arbitrate requests for bandwidth from the remote unit -- providing non contention-based traffic with predictable transmission characteristics. The second AN-80i operates as a PTP Slave under control of the master unit. Figure 2: Intro - AN-80i with Integrated Antenna 2.1 Ethernet Port The AN-80i receives DC power and exchanges data with the indoor network through the Ethernet port.

Refer to the CLI commands in section 4: CLI Interface on page 36. Telnet Port: Enter Telnet port address (default is 23). SNMP Enable: Check this box to enable the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent. When this item is checked, clicking on the blue text [Configure SNMP] adjacent to the check box displays the SNMP Configuration screen. See section 3.9: SNMP Settings on page 31 for additional information on SNMP settings for the AN-80i. Wireless Configuration RF Freq. [MHz]: Enter the center frequency for the RF channel. The options key controls channel availability. The table below specifies the center frequencies of each available channel. Table 1: Web - RF Channel Range Channel Size Frequency Selection (2.5 MHz steps) 10 MHz 5730 - 5845 MHz 20 MHz 5735 - 5840 MHz 40 MHz 5745 - 5830 MHz To minimize interference, the channel frequencies for AN-80i links operating in close proximity should be separated by a minimum of the channel size in use (to avoid overlapping bands). Auto scan: Check this box to enable the AN-80i PTP Slave to automatically scan available channels and locate the current operating frequency of the AN-80i PTP Master. Tx Power [dBm]: Enter the transmit power level (dBm). This setting is for the transceiver output only. The actual EIRP depends on the gain of the connected antenna (see section 6.2: Antenna and Power Specifications on page 56). Important: In some regions, the maximum operational power per channel for a specific antenna is limited in accordance with regulations specifying the maximum allowable EIRP levels. Refer to the FCC and CE notices in this manual. See Table 2: Web - Max. Power (in dBm) and Modulation to determine the maximum transmit power level available at each modulation setting.

AN-80i user manual 70-00072-01-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2006 October 18, 2006 Page 24 of 60 DFS Action: Select the mode of operation for DFS. Important: Where required by regional regulations, DFS is enabled by the system options key and cannot be disabled. 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: None: The DFS function 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. Chg Freq: Relocate transmission to an 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, operation is suspended until the thirty-minute time interval expires for at least one channel. Antenna Gain: Enter the gain (dBm) for the system antenna. It is important that the Antenna Gain setting matches the actual antenna gain. If the antenna gain is set higher than the true antenna gain, the system is less sensitive to detecting interference, and is not operating in compliance with the UK/ETSI standard. If the antenna gain is set lower than the true antenna gain, the system is more sensitive to interference and this may result in false DFS triggers. ATPC Enable: Check this box to enable the AN-80i to monitor the received signal and request that the remote system adjustment its transmit level for optimum performance. The ATPC feature must be enabled on both AN-80i units. Adaptive Modulation: Check this box to enable the AN-80i to automatically adjust the transmission modulation and code settings to achieve the highest UBR that will operate with a packet error rate (PER at layer 2) of less than 1x10e-6. If the PER exceeds 1x10e-6, the AN-80i automatically adjusts the modulation and code settings downwards (i.e., from 16 QAM 3/4 to 16 QAM 1/2) to operate at a lower UBR where the PER is acceptable. When disabled, the modulation and code settings are entered manually using the Uncoded Burst Rate setting. See Table 2: Web - Max. Power (in dBm) and Modulation.

Modulation Reduction Level: Enter the number of modulation/coding levels to step down during re-transmission of errored wireless packets. Each step down lowers the UBR. The level can be set from 0 to 7 (recommended value = 2). Uncoded Burst Rate [Mb/s]: Select the desired UBR for the link. If Adaptive Modulation is disabled, the AN-80i will transmit using only the specified settings. See Table 2: Web - Max. Power (in dBm) and Modulation. Ethernet Follows Wireless: Check this box to have the AN-80i disable and enable the Ethernet port function based on the status of the wireless interface. This feature allows switches and routers to trigger configuration changes based on changes to the AN-80i Ethernet port status. Disabled ( ): The AN-80i Ethernet port is always enabled. Enabled ( ): The Ethernet port status is controlled based on the status of the wireless interface. See the following table. Table 3: Web - Ethernet Status Indication Configuration Setting Wireless interface Status Ethernet Port Status Ethernet Follows Wireless Link Up Enabled Link Down Enabled Ethernet Follows Wireless Link Up Enabled Link Down Disabled Important: Enabling the Ethernet Follows Wireless setting affects all data and management traffic (HTTP, TELNET, and SNMP). While the wireless interface is down, it is not possible to establish communications with the AN-80i using the Ethernet port. If the wireless interface is down, the Ethernet Follows Wireless setting can only be set to 'off' by using the IP recovery procedure. See 5.2: Procedure to Reset AN-80i IP Address on page 48. System Mode: The PTP Master establishes and manages the bi-directional data link with a remote end AN-80i. Only one system in a wireless link must be set for PTP Master mode. PTP Master: This unit begins transmitting automatically; sends poll messages to the remote AN-80i, and negotiates the wireless link. PTP Slave: This unit waits passively, monitoring the selected channel(s) until polled by the PTP Master, and participates in negotiating the wireless link. Software Version: Select the version of system software to load when the AN-80i is rebooted. The system holds two independent software images. Encryption Enable: Check this box to enable encryption of data transmitted over the wireless interface.

AN-80i user manual 70-00072-01-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2006 October 18, 2006 Page 48 of 60 5.2 Procedure to Reset AN-80i IP Address The AN-80i features a method to gain access to the CLI commands for a unit where the IP address, username, and/or password is unknown. This method requires local access to the AN-80i PoE power adapter, the capability to power-cycle the AN-80i, a PC with a telnet client, and an Ethernet cable. Figure 17: CLI - Recovering Lost IP Address 5.2.1 Procedure 1. Power-off the AN-80i PoE power adapter. Remove the network Ethernet cable and connect your computer directly to the PoE power adapter 'INPUT' Ethernet port (requires Cat 5e cross-over cable). 2. Open a command prompt window on the PC and enter the command: telnet 192.168.25.2 <Do not press Enter key at this time> 3. Power-on the AN-80i PoE power adapter for over 30 seconds. 4. Power-off the AN-80i PoE power adapter for 7 seconds. 5. Power-on the AN-80i PoE power adapter, wait 15 seconds, and then press the Enter key on the PC (to start the Telnet session). The Telnet session must connect to the AN-80i within 10 to 30 seconds from when the AN-80i starts the second time. 6. When prompted, login using 'admin' as the user name and 'admin' as password. 7. Use the following commands to save a new IP address: ipaddr <IP Address> <Enter> save config <Enter> If required, use the 'user' command to enter new username and password information (4.2.12 User on page 46 ) or the 'save' command to reset all parameters to factory default settings (4.2.5: Save on page 39). 8. Power-off the AN-80i, restore the network connections, and restore power.
AN-80i user manual 70-00072-01-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2006 October 18, 2006 Page 49 of 60 5.3 Testing and Saving System Parameters The AN-80i is a highly configurable communications device. All configurable options are saved in non-volatile RAM. The system configuration and snmp settings are saved separately. Web Interface The Test button is located on the System Configuration page. Click this button to have the AN-80i load the current settings displayed in the configuration screen. The AN-80i will operate with these settings for a period of five minutes. During the test period you may click the Save button at any time to save this configuration permanently (also terminating the five minute timer). After five minutes, if the Save function button has not been applied, the AN-80i will reboot and load the previously saved settings. Figure 18: Diag - Saving Parameters in NVRAM CLI Interface Use the 'test' command to have the AN-80i load the edited settings. The AN-80i will operate with these settings for a period of five minutes. During the test period, you may click the Save button at any time to save this configuration permanently. Otherwise, after five minutes, the AN-80i will reboot and load the previously saved settings. Note: Factory defaults can only be restored using the CLI commands.
AN-80i user manual 70-00072-01-01-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2006 October 18, 2006 Page 50 of 60 5.4 Troubleshooting the Web Interface The following table lists some common troubleshooting tips for the web interface. Table 22: Diag. - 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 AN-80i. If the ping is successful, reset the AN-80i, and/or reset the host computer. General Information screen is not displayed Host PC ARP table is incorrectly configured Run 'arp -d' whenever the AN-80i is swapped. Check that the subnet mask for the host PC matches the subnet mask of the AN-80i. Check that the host PC's address is 192.168.25.n, where 'n' is not equal to 0,2, or 255. Attempt to login to the AN-80i using a Web browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer is recommended. If the AN-80i 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. Test is to verify the IP address is reachable from the computer. Use the ping command to test the connection between the AN-80i and host computer. >ping 192.168.25.2 If the ping test is successful, the host computer was able to send and receive packets to/from the AN-80i. The problem may be with the Internet browser or related settings on the host computer. Reboot 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 AN-80i must be on the same subnet. For example, if the AN-80i 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 AN-80i cannot be determined, it is recommended to perform the IP recovery procedure. See 5.2: Procedure to Reset AN-80i IP Address on page 48.

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 Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) can detect interference from other devices using the same frequency (especially radar) 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 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. IXC Inter-exchange Carrier. A long-distance phone company. LEC Local Exchange Carriers. The traditional local wired phone company. LED Light Emitting Diode LOS Line Of Sight. A clear direct path between two antennas, with no

A unique number assigned to a network device. 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.
