RedCONNEXTM AN-80i PTP & PMP User Manual 70-00072-01-04-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2007 May 7, 2007 Page 10 of 90 1.2 Important Warning Symbols The following symbols may be encountered during installation or troubleshooting. These warning symbols mean danger. Bodily injury may result if you are not aware of the safety hazards involved in working with electrical equipment and radio transmitters. Familiarize yourself with standard safety practices before continuing. Electro-Magnetic Radiation High Voltage 1.3 Important Service Information 1. Refer all repairs to qualified service personnel. Do not remove the covers or modify any part of this device, as this voids the warranty. 2. Locate the serial numbers and record these on your registration card for future reference. Use the space below to affix serial number stickers. Also, record the MAC address located on the AN-80i. 1.4 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:

[MHz]: Enter the center frequency for the RF channel. This setting must be identical for both AN-80i systems operating as a wireless link. The options key controls channel availability. Refer to Table 43: Spec. - Regional Identification Codes on page 87 for available channels. Note: 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 Subscriber to automatically scan available channels and locate the current operating frequency of the AN-80i PTP Sector Controller. 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
RedCONNEXTM AN-80i PTP & PMP User Manual 70-00072-01-04-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2007 May 7, 2007 Page 26 of 91 ETSI Certified Antennas on page 84). 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. When ATPC is enabled, the Tx power will be automatically adjusted to achieve optimum performance. Table 2: Web - Max. Power (in dBm) and Modulation Settings Modulation BPSK QPSK 16 QAM 64 QAM Code Rate 1/2 3/4 1/2 3/4 1/2 3/4 2/3 3/4 Max Tx Power 20 20 20 20 20 20 17 17 DFS Action: Select the mode of operation for DFS. The system set to sector controller-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: Where DFS is required by regional regulations, this function is permanently enabled at the factory and can not be disabled by the installer or end-user. 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
RedCONNEXTM AN-80i PTP & PMP User Manual 70-00072-01-04-DRAFT Proprietary Redline Communications © 2007 May 7, 2007 Page 27 of 91 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. Channel Width: Select the channel bandwidth. Refer to Table 43: Spec. - Regional Identification Codes on page 87 for available channel widths. 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: The Ethernet Follows Wireless setting affects all data and management traffic (HTTP, TELNET, and SNMP).
