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 AN80i 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
System Overview
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.

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.

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

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 powercycle 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 
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  
save config 
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.

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.

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.

Host PC ARP
table is
incorrectly
configured
Solution
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)
If the ping is successful, reset the AN-80i, and/or
reset the host computer.
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.
