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:

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

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.

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.

Upload Software
Click Upload Software in the left hand menu to display the Upload Software screen. This
screen is used to upgrade the AN-80i with new software. The AN-80i contains nonvolatile storage for two versions of the software. The upload overwrites the nonoperational (unselected) version.
Figure 11: Web - Upload Software Screen
TFTP Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the computer with the software
upgrade file. This computer must be running a TFTP server.
Software File Name: Name of the software binary file (including file extension).
Upgrade Steps
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is used to upload the new software image file from
your computer to the AN-80i. TFTP server software must be installed and running on the
computer you are using to upload the new software file. In addition, the AN-80i software
binary file must be located in the default upload directory for the TFTP server.
1. Enter the IP Address of the computer running the TFTP server.
2. Enter the full name of the binary file (including the .bin extension).
3. Click the Upload File button to begin the file transfer. The upgrade file size is
approximately four Megabytes and takes a minimum of two to four minutes to
transfer. Slower network connections may take longer -- do not interrupt the transfer.
4. When the file transfer is complete, the AN-80i verifies the integrity of the new
software file. If errors were introduced during the transfer process, the software file is
rejected and a warning message is registered in the event log, and you must repeat the
upload.
5. When the transfer has completed successfully, use the System Configuration screen to
select which software version to load on the next system reboot (does not switch
automatically following upload).

SNMP Settings Screen
Click Configure SNMP (blue text) on the System Configuration screen to view and edit
the SNMP settings. The hyperlink appears only if the SNMP Enable box is checked.
The SNMP protocol allows an application to interrogate the AN-80i for information
saved in the MIB and to change enabled fields within the MIB. When the SNMP Agent
in the AN-80i detects an error condition, a special message known as a trap can be sent
(if enabled). A Trap Host is an IP system/server that is set up to receive SNMP trap
messages. The SNMP Configuration screen displays a list of the current communities.
The Chg buttons can be used to add, edit, or delete community settings.

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 
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
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.

displayed
Possible
Problem
Incorrect IP
address and/or
subnet mask.
Problems with
host computer, or
AN-80i.
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 49.
