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 center conductor can be directed safely to ground by using a lightning
arrestor in series with the cable.

AN-80i
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.
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 & IC Notice
1. The Model AN-80i and its antenna must be professionally installed.

AN-80i
Each wireless link requires two AN-80i units. One AN-80i is configured as the PTP
Master (or PMP Sector Controller) and controls the wireless link. This function is
transparent to all Ethernet operations. The sector controller 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
remote AN-80i operates as a PTP Slave (or PMP Subscriber).
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 send 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.

Indoor Power Block (PoE Power Adapter)
The PoE power adapter provides operational power and connection to a local Ethernet
network.
Warning to Service Personnel: 48 VDC
Customer equipment including personal computers, routers, etc., must be connected
only to the INPUT (DATA) port on the PoE unit.
Only the outdoors Ethernet interface cable connecting to the AN-80i can be safely
connected to the OUTPUT (DATA & POWER) connector. Connecting customer
premises Ethernet equipment directly to the OUTPUT (DATA & POWER) connector
on the Power-over-Ethernet power adapter may damage customer equipment.

Antenna Alignment
The AN-80i includes both an audible alignment tool and a web-based alignment tool to
assist in pointing the antenna.
2.6.1
Web Page Alignment
The most reliable method for obtaining optimum performance from a wireless link is to
align the antenna to the position providing the highest RSSI value and the best SINADR
ratio. The web page alignment tool provides continuous updates (1 second intervals) of
the measured RSSI (received signal strength indication) and SINADR (Signal to noise
and distortion ratio). This web page can be accessed from a laptop computer and most
web-enabled handheld devices.
Use the following URL to access the AN-80i alignment web page:
http:// [AN-80i IP Address] / usr / aa.html
For example:
http://192.168.20.30/usr/aa.html
2.6.2
Audible Alignment
The signal will sound infrequently when a low signal is detected, and more often as the
signal strength increases. The audible signal is enabled and disabled through the user
interface:
Web: See Antenna Alignment Buzzer Enable under Wireless Configuration on page 28.
Telnet: See buzzer in CLI Set commands under Set on page 67.
The audible antenna alignment tool provides only rough adjustment for the subscriber
antennas. It is recommended to monitor the RSSI measurements to achieve maximum
signal strength when performing fine adjustments to the subscriber antenna. Refer to the
AN-80i Installation Guidelines for detailed instructions.

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.
Refer to the following tables to determine the maximum transmit power level available at
each modulation setting. When ATPC is enabled, the Tx power is automatically adjusted
to achieve optimum performance. When DFS is enabled, the subscriber Tx power may
be automatically adjusted (regardless of ATPC setting) to avoid false DFS triggering.

AN-80i
Note: In PMP mode, setting the Tx power too high may reduce the SINADR value. If the
SINADR is less than expected, re-test the link using a lower Tx power setting.
Important:EIRP Levels: 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 7.3: Antennas on page 87 for a list the maximum transmit power setting
based on the antenna gain for a series of frequency settings.
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: When radar signals are detected the transmitter is switched off for 30
minutes. 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: When radar signals are detected the transmitter is switched to a different
frequency. 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 thirtyminute time interval expires for at least one channel.
Important: Where DFS is required by regional regulations, this feature 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.

AN-80i
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: Maximum TX Power
Settings (dBm).
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:
Maximum TX Power Settings (dBm).
Channel Width [MHz]: Select the channel bandwidth. Refer to Table 51: Spec. Regional Identification Codes on page 92 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 (
):Ethernet port is controlled based on the status of the wireless interface.

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.

Overview
The AN-80i can operate as a VLAN-aware wireless switch, as a standard wireless bridge
(pass-through mode), or a combination of both. The following figure illustrates a simple
pass-though configuration. This configuration does not use VLAN tagging or filter the
Ethernet traffic.

Minimum Setup Requirements
A minimum set of parameters must be configured to enable data and management traffic
on any PMP deployment:
1. 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.

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.

Wireless Traffic Parameters
The sector controller allocates bandwidth for all subscribers using the Weighted Round
Robin algorithm with the combined total of all QoS levels acting as weights. The
aggregate QoS settings affect packet delay and jitter values for the entire sector.
It is strongly recommended to calculate DL QoS and UL QoS levels using the Redline AN80i PMP Configuration Tool -- the QoS levels for each Connection can be read directly
from the QoS column in the Connection ID Configuration section. To manually determine
these settings, identify the maximum UL and DL burst rate for the associated Link and
calculate the highest available level using the formula: Burst Rate - 1.
DL QoS Level: Enter the QoS level for downlink unicast traffic for this connection.
UL QoS Level: Enter the QoS level for uplink unicast traffic for this connection.

Quick Configuration Guide
This procedure is to aid configuring point-to-multipoint (PMP) operation on AN-80i
systems. 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.

Parameter/Description
activekey: Current active options key.

- [ 0 | 1]
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.
atpc: Enable or disable the ATPC function. Both AN-80i units monitor Rx signal
and automatically adjust the Tx level of the transmitting system to optimize
system performance. The ATPC feature must be enabled on both ends of the
link.
off - Disable
on - Enable
This mode can be changed only if allowed by the options key. If the options key
does not allow changes: 1) value is specified by the options key, 2) executing a
set command for this field will generate an error message.
autoscan: Enable or disable the Autoscan function.
off - Disable
on - Enable
When enabled, the PTP Subscriber (system mode) AN-80i automatically scans
available channels to locate the current operating frequency of the PTP Sector
Controller system. Executing a set command this field on a PTP Sector
Controller will generate an error message.
bsporten: Sector controller Ethernet port enable.

6.2
Procedure to Restore Factory Settings
The AN-80i features a method to gain access to the CLI command prompt 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 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:
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
telnet 192.168.25.2

Restore power to the AN-80i PoE adapter and wait for 10 seconds.
Power-off the AN-80i PoE adapter for 5 seconds (7 seconds maximum).
Restore power to the AN-80i PoE adapter and wait for approximately 20 seconds.
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).
Use the following command to restore the default IP address, username and

Testing and Saving System Parameters
The AN-80i is a highly configurable communications device. 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.
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.

AN-80i
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.
The following table lists some common troubleshooting tips for the web interface.

70-00072-01-06a
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.

PTP Status Codes
The PTP status code is displayed in a series of decimal characters representing the
status of six different alarm conditions. The value '1' indicates the associated condition is
active. All unused bits are set to zero.
To determine the status, the decimal number must be converted to binary notation. It is
recommended to use a scientific calculator that supports binary notation (i.e., Windows
on-screen calculator). Set the mode for decimal and enter the status code. Change the
mode to binary and match active bits (1) to the following table.
For example, if 'RF High Temp. Warning' (2) and ' PHY lock error' (1 0000) were active,
the status code value would be 34 (binary 100010) (leading zeros are not displayed).

PMP Status Codes
The PMP status code is displayed in a series of hexadecimal characters representing
the status of different alarm conditions. The value '1' indicates the associated condition
is active. All unused bits are set to zero.
To determine the status, the hexadecimal number must be converted to binary notation.
It is recommended to use a scientific calculator that supports binary notation (i.e.,
Windows on-screen calculator). Set the mode for Hex and enter the status code.
Change the mode to binary and match active bits (1) to the PMP Status Codes table.
For example, if 'Radio Over Temperature' bit 1 and 'PLL Error' bit 4 were active, the
status code value would be Hex '12' (binary 1 0010).
