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

accordance with the local electrical codes: correct installation procedures for

grounding the AN-80i, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, location of discharge

unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding

electrodes.

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 PMP

User Manual

Page 9 of 60

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 Notice

1. The Model AN-80i is only used for Point to Point application

2. The Model AN-80i and it’s antenna must be professionally installed

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.

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 6.3: Certified Antennas on page 55).

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 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.

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.

RedCONNEXTM AN-80i PMP

User Manual

Page 27 of 60

Antenna Gain: Enter the gain (dBm) for the system antenna.

When DFS is enabled, it is important that the Antenna Gain setting matches the true

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 the remote system to 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 30: Spec - Regional

Identification Codes on page 57 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.

Command Parameter/Description

set adaptmod: Enable or disable the adaptive modulation function.

off - Disable

on - Enable

When enabled, the AN-80i will automatically change the modulation to the

highest setting that can sustain a packet error rate lower than 1x10e-6. If the

packet error rate exceeds 1x10e-6, the system automatically steps down

modulation/code rate (i.e., from 16 QAM 3/4 to 16 QAM 1/2 ) to maintain the

wireless link quality.

antgain: Enter value for antenna gain (dBi).

When DFS is enabled, it is important that the Antenna Gain setting matches the

true antenna gain. If the antenna gain is set higher incorrectly, the AN-80i is

less sensitive to detecting interference, and is not operating in compliance with

the UK/ETSI standard.

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, or the Ethernet Follows Wireless

function is enabled and has locked the Ethernet interface. 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 18: 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

or the 'save' command to reset all parameters to factory default settings.

8. Power-off the AN-80i, restore the network connections, and restore power.

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

Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0)

Problems with

If the ping is successful, reset the AN-80i, and/or

reset the host computer.

General

Information

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 49.

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.

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)
