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 action will void 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. 3.  Redline does not endorse or support the use of outdoor cable assemblies: i) not supplied by Redline, ii) third-party products that do not meet Redline's cable and connector assembly specifications, or iii) cables not installed and weatherproofed as specified in the Installation Guidelines manual (70-00073-01-XX). Refer to the Redline Limited Standard Warranty and RedCare service agreements.  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

 RedCONNEX™    User  AN-80i Manual  70-00072-01-05-DRAFT  Proprietary Redline Communications © 2008  Page 30 of 94  January 22, 2008 When present, these settings override the local settings and are used whenever the PTP Slave has deregistered and is scanning for a PTP Master. This list is not saved permanently, and is discarded when the PTP Slave is rebooted. Reload: Display the saved (Local) scan intervals. Save: Click to verify the range settings, and if valid, add these to the Local Frequency Range list. An event message will be entered in the system log indicating the results of the test. Important: Clicking the Save button does not save changes to non-volatile memory. To permanently save changes, click Save at the bottom of the System Configuration screen.  Test: Click to check the range settings and add these to the Local Frequency Range list (if valid). This action does not save the changes to non-volatile memory. Operating Notes If no scan intervals are defined, the PTP Slave will scan all frequency ranges for the enabled region. If scan intervals are defined, only the listed channels will be scanned for a PTP Master. If the PTP Slave checks all scan intervals three times without locating and registering with a PTP Master, the scanning mode is changed to include all frequency ranges for the enabled region (until registration or reboot). The PTP Master can also be programmed with a list of scan intervals. When the PTP Slave registers with a PTP Master that has frequency ranges defined, the list is transmitted to the PTP Slave and is displayed as Remote Frequency Ranges. When present, the scan intervals in the Remote Frequency Ranges table are used exclusively during autoscan (Local Frequency Ranges are ignored). The Remote Frequency Ranges remain in effect until the PTP Slave is rebooted.  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. Important: Where required by local regulations, the maximum operational power per channel for a specific antenna must not exceed the maximum allowable EIRP levels. Refer to the FCC and CE notices in this manual. The RF output power settings must be professionally programmed by the manufacturer or a trained professional installer.  See Table 4: 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. Table 4: Web - Max.

 RedCONNEX™    User  AN-80i Manual  70-00072-01-05-DRAFT  Proprietary Redline Communications © 2008  Page 31 of 94  January 22, 2008  DFS Action: Select the mode of operation for DFS. The system set to PTP Master 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 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. 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.  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. Important:  When ATPC is enabled, best results are obtained by enabling adaptive modulation. 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 4: Web - Max. Power (in dBm) and Modulation.
 RedCONNEX™    User  AN-80i Manual  70-00072-01-05-DRAFT  Proprietary Redline Communications © 2008  Page 32 of 94  January 22, 2008  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 4: Web - Max. Power (in dBm) and Modulation. Channel Width [MHz]: Select the channel bandwidth. Refer to Table 47: Spec. - Regional Identification Codes on page 90 for available channel widths. 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 is controlled based on the status of the wireless interface. See the following table. Table 5: Web - Ethernet Status Indication Configuration Setting  Wireless interface Status  Ethernet Port Status Ethernet Follows Wireless   Link Up  Enabled  Link Down Disabled   Important: The Ethernet Follows Wireless setting affects all data and management traffic (HTTP, TELNET, and SNMP). While activated, it is not possible to manage the AN-80i using the Ethernet port.  Ethernet follows wireless timeout [sec]: Enter the period (in seconds) the Ethernet port will remain disabled following loss of connectivity on the wireless interface. Following this interval, the Ethernet port will be automatically re-enabled to allow management of the AN-80i.  Important: When Ethernet Follows Wireless Timeout is enabled, external switches/routers monitoring the Ethernet port must be programmed to not switch automatically when the Ethernet port function is restored -- the wireless interface may not be operational.  System Mode: Set the operating mode for each AN-80i system. 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 Type: Select an encryption type for 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.

Create one or more Links to identify each subscriber in the sector, and set the wireless link operating characteristics, including the maximum uplink and downlink modulation. 2.  Create one or more Groups (VLAN or pass-through) and set the operating characteristics of this group. 3.  Create one or more Connections (to Groups) for each subscriber, to assign membership to at least one Group.  The following table provides a summary of the configuration shown in the pass-through configuration diagram above. The actual Group ID and Link ID values are not available until these items have been created during configuration of the system. This configuration passes all data traffic as a standard PMP configuration.  Table 9: PMP - Basic Pass-Through Group Settings Group Configuration (Sector Controller)  Connection Configuration (Subscriber) Group Name  Port Tagging Group VID  Connection Name  Port Tagging Link ID Group ID ConnectionVID SC-1 Pass Through NA SS-1 Pass Through [L-1] [SC-1]  NA    SS-2 Pass Through [L-2] [SC-1]  NA Notes: 1. The Group ID, Conn ID, and Link ID values are assigned automatically and must be read from the screen after items are created.   2. The QoS settings must be determined using the PMP Configuration Tool.  4.3.3 Packet Classification The AN-80i PMP deployment can be configured for use with VLAN tagged traffic, untagged traffic, or a combination these two types. Ingress packets received on the Ethernet port are classified into tagged or pass-through groups according to the criteria in the following table. The Group settings apply to packets processed at the sector controller, while Connection settings apply to packets processed at the subscriber. Table 10: PMP - Packet Classification Type Description  Tagged Traffic Packet has a VLAN tag and there is a Group/Connection configured for this VID. Sector Controller:  Packets are forwarded over the wireless link to all subscribers with Connections to this VLAN Group. Subscribers: Packets are forwarded to the sector controller. The sector controller forwards the packets to the local Ethernet port and subscribers with Connections to this VLAN Group.  Pass-Through Traffic The packet does not have a VLAN tag, or no Group/Connection exists for this VID.  If a pass-through Group has not been defined, unclassified packets are discarded. If a pass-through Group has been defined, classified packets are forwarded based on the rules for tagged traffic. The packet VLAN information is not modified.

This field is used only when 'Tagged' is selected in the Group Tagging Mode field. Default Priority: Enter the default 802.1p priority setting. The default priority setting is used only when the Group Tagging Mode is set to 'pass-through' mode and the associated Connection Tagging Mode is set to 'Tagged'. The Group Default Priority value is used when adding the 802.1Q tag (Connection VLAN ID) to the packet being forwarded. SC Ethernet Enable: Controls the sector controller Ethernet port. Check this box   to allow ingress and egress data traffic on the sector controller Ethernet interface. Uncheck this box ( ) to block all data traffic on the sector controller Ethernet interface. The sector controller Ethernet port remains available for management traffic. SS To SS Multicast Enable:  Check this box   to enable group multicast traffic between subscribers. Uncheck this box ( ) to block all multicast traffic between subscribers. Wireless Traffic Parameters Changes to these settings affect the CIR and PIR for all groups and connections on the wireless link. Group QoS Level: This setting represents the range of CIR available to Group members for downlink multicast/broadcast traffic.  It is strongly recommended to calculate the Group QoS Level using the Redline AN-80i PMP Configuration Tool -- the Group QoS level can be read from the QoS column in the Group ID Configuration section. To manually determine this setting, identify the member Link having the lowest UBR and calculate the Group QoS Level using the formula: Burst Rate - 1. A zero setting disables all DL broadcast and multicast traffic for this group. Rate: Enter the maximum downlink burst rate for this Group. It is recommended to use the 'auto' setting where the AN-80i selects the most reliable rate. To manually determine this value, identify the Group member having the lowest DL burst rate, and then set the Rate using the formula: Max DL Burst Rate - 1. For applications requiring a higher broadcast/multicast rate (e.g., video), a higher setting can be used at the risk of less reliable retransmissions.

For complete installation and operational procedures. refer to the AN-80i System User Manual, the AN-80i Quick Install Guide, and the Installation Guidelines provided on CD-ROM.  The VLAN tagging feature allows the user to configure and operate an AN-80i deployment as a VLAN-aware wireless switch. A 'group' is created at the sector controller for each VLAN to be transported, and 'connections' are added to enable data flow with any subscriber station participating in that VLAN. If VLAN is not required, a default group and set of connections must be setup to define the traffic characteristics. Prior to completing this setup, no Ethernet data traffic can be transmitted over the wireless interface.

This method requires local access to the AN-80i PoE power adapter, the ability to power-cycle the AN-80i, a PC with a telnet client, and an Ethernet cable.   Figure 36: CLI - Recovering Lost IP Address Use the following steps to gain access to the CLI command prompt: 1.  Power-off the AN-80i PoE adapter. Remove the local network Ethernet cable and connect your computer directly to the PoE adapter DATA (INPUT) Ethernet port. 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.  Restore power to the AN-80i PoE adapter and wait for 10 seconds. 4.  Power-off the AN-80i PoE adapter for 5 seconds (7 seconds maximum). 5.  Restore power to the AN-80i PoE adapter and wait for approximately 20 seconds. 6.  Press the Enter key on the PC (start the Telnet session). When the login prompt appears, you have approximately 30 seconds to login using 'admin' as the user name and 'admin' as password. After login, all AN-80i CLI commands are available. If the login prompt does not appear, re-enter the Telnet command (up to 60 seconds from power-on). If this is not successful, repeat steps 2 to 6 using a wait time in step 5 (30 to 40 seconds). 7.  Use the following command to restore the default IP address, username and password:   save defaultconfig <Enter> Note: The following parameters are not affected by the 'save defaultconfig' command:  -  System Name, System Location, System Details and Contact -  Frequency list -  SNMP configuration -  ID table (PMP only) 8.  Power-off the PoE adapter and re-connect the network cable. Restore power to the PoE adapter.

All user settings are saved in non-volatile RAM. The system configuration and snmp settings are saved separately. 6.3.1 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.  Figure 37: Diag: - Saving Parameters in NVRAM 6.3.2 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.

Table 35: 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 section 6.2: Procedure to Restore Factory Settings on page 80.
