PoE Power adapter Caution

Warning to Service Personnel: 48 VDC

Connecting customer premises Ethernet equipment directly to the 'OUTPUT'

connector on the AN-80i Power-over-Ethernet power adapter may damage

customer network interface equipment. Customer equipment including

personal computers, routers, etc., must only be connected to the 'INPUT' port

on the PoE unit. Only the outdoors Ethernet interface cable to the AN-80i can

be safely connected to the 'OUTPUT' connector.

2. Installation of the system must be contracted to a professional installer.

3. Read this user manual and follow all operating and safety instructions.

4. Keep all product information for future reference.

5. The power requirements are indicated on the product-marking label. Do not exceed

the described limits.

6. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Disconnect

the power before cleaning.

7. Disconnect power when unit is stored for long periods.

8. The AN-80i must not be located near power lines or other electrical power circuits.

9. The system must be properly grounded to protect against power surges and

accumulated static electricity. It is the user’s responsibility to install this device in

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:

RedCONNEXTM AN-80i

PTP & PMP User Manual

Page 11 of 90

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.

1.5 FCC & IC Notice

1. The Model AN-80i and its antenna must be professionally installed.

To ensure compliance, operation at closer than these distances is not recommended.

The antenna used for this transmitter must not be collocated in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter.

3. High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of

5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference

and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

4. FCC Information to Users @ FCC 15.21 & 15.105:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A

digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

Chapter

The Access Node 80i system is manufactured by Redline Communications -- a world

leader in design and production of Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) systems.

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 can operate

with a 5.4 GHz radio installed or a 5.8 GHz radio installed using a time division

duplexing (TDD) RF transceiver to transmit and receive on the same RF channel. The

main 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.

RedCONNEXTM AN-80i

PTP & PMP User Manual

Page 14 of 90

Each wireless link requires two AN-80i units. One AN-80i is configured as the PTP

Sector Controller and controls the wireless link. This function is transparent to all

Ethernet operations. The sector controller 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 Subscriber under control of the sector controller 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. The AN-80i Ethernet port connects to the PoE Adapter using a

weatherproof Cat. 5e Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port is a female RJ-45 connector.

2.2 RF Port

The RF port is used to sending and receive RF signal to/from the antenna. A short coaxial

cable is provided to connect the transceiver to an external antenna. The RF port is a

female N-type connector.

2.3 Mounting Brackets

There are two mounting brackets available for the AN-80i. The lightweight (two-point)

antenna bracket provides convenient mounting of one foot flat panel antennas. The

heavy-duty (four-point) antenna mounting bracket is available for mounting two foot flat

panel and parabolic antennas.

2.4 Grounding Connection

A ground-lug is provided on the AN-80i chassis. Use this connection to terminate a

grounding wire.

Wireless Configuration

RF Freq. [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

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.

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

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.
