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.

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

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

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. 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. 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. When ATPC

is enabled, the Tx power will be automatically adjusted to achieve optimum

performance.

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.

AN-80i

user manual

Page 25 of 60

Channel Width: Select the channel bandwidth. See Table 1: Web - RF Channel

Range.

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.

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. When encryption is enabled, no Ethernet packets can

be transferred over-the-air unless encryption is enabled on the remote-end AN-80i,

and the correct encryption key is entered on both AN-80i units.

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.

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.

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.

6.3 Glossary Of Terms

Term Definition

Antenna

Gain The measure of antenna performance relative to a theoretical antenna

called an isotropic antenna.

ARQ Automatic Repeat Request. This is the protocol used over the air for

error correction.

ATPC Automatic Transmission Power Control. The master-end system

automatically adjusts the RF transmit level of both systems to optimize

performance of the link (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 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

obstructions within the first Fresnel zone.

MAC Media Access Control. 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.
