Chapter

1.1 Safety Warnings

PoE power adapter caution:

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.

1. Installation of the system must be contracted to a professional installer.

2. Read this user manual and follow all operating and safety instructions.

3. Keep all product information for future reference.

4. The power requirements are indicated on the product-marking label. Do not exceed

the described limits.

5. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Disconnect

the power before cleaning.

6. Disconnect power when unit is stored for long periods.

7. The AN-80i must not be located near power lines or other electrical power circuits.

8. 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.

& User

AN-80i

Manual

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 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.

& User

AN-80i

Manual

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 Deployment in the USA -- FCC Notices

1.5.1 FCC & IC Notice

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

2. WARNING -- FCC & IC RF Exposure Warnings

To satisfy FCC and IC RF exposure requirements for RF transmitting devices, the

following distances should be maintained between the antenna of this device and

persons during device operation:

Table 1: FCC & IC RF Recommended Safe Separation Distances

Frequency (GHz) Mode Separation Distance

3.650 - 3.675 PTP / PMP 130 cm (52 in) or more

3.3 - 3.8 PTP / PMP 130 cm (52 in) or more

4.9 - 5.3 PTP / PMP 255 cm (101 in) or more

5.4 PTP / PMP 40 cm (16 in) or more

5.8 PMP 20 cm (8 in) or more

PTP 310 cm (122 in) or more

To ensure compliance, operation at closer than these distances is not

recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be collocated in

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

1.5.2 Installation and Operation

FCC Part 90 guidelines for deployment of AN-80i systems in the frequency band of

3650-3700 MHz for “restricted” CBP (Contention Based Protocol) in USA includes

restrictions on the maximum EIRP.

To comply with these guidelines, the following EIRP limitations are applied for

deployment in this band:

i) Max EIRP of 25 Watts/25 MHz (equivalent to 1 Watt/1 MHz)

ii) Peak EIRP Power Density of 1 Watt in any 1 MHz slice of spectrum.

To ensure compliance with these restrictions, refer to the following important notices:

1. The 3650-3700 MHz frequency range is a licensed band in the USA and operators

must have a valid spectrum license to operate AN-80i equipment using this band.

2. The AN-80i requires a Redline FCC-specific options key that is mandatory for

operation within the USA. This options key enforces the FCC approved operating

range of 3650-3700 MHz.

3. The AN-80i outdoor transceiver and antenna must be professionally installed.

4. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Redline Communications could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

5. Do not operate an AN-80i outdoor transceiver until you have confirmed the FCC-

specific options key is loaded and active (operating range restricted to 3650-3700

MHz). When the FCC-specific options key is installed, the operator is not able to set

an RF frequency that exceeds the allowed range of 3650-3700 MHz.

6. The AN-80i transmit power settings must not exceed values stated in the AN-80i

User Manual.

1.5.3 FCC Power Settings

Manual

Chapter

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 3.3-3.8, 4.9, 5.3/5.4, or 5.8 GHz radio (factory 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.

& User

AN-80i

Manual

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.

Manual

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.

2.6 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 33.

Telnet: See buzzer in CLI Set commands under Set on page 73.

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.

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 section 7: Appendices for a list the maximum transmit power

setting based on the antenna gain for a series of frequency settings.

AN-80i

Manual

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 thirty-

minute 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.

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 10: Maximum TX Power

Settings (dBm) for AN-80i Radio.

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).

& User

4.1 Introduction

This section describes only the additional parameters required for configuring PMP

support, and an overview about defining and using VLAN and pass-through groups.

The AN-80i PMP software provides the following main features:

- IEEE 802.1Q standard compliance

- VLAN Groups span subscribers

- Multiple VLAN Connections per subscriber

- Multiple TLS transport based on VLAN ID classification

- QoS provisioning with individual CIR setting per connection

- VLAN trunking with tag insert/delete/re-map

- VLAN tagged management traffic

4.3.1 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.

Figure 23: PMP - Basic Pass-through Group Configuration

The following diagram illustrates a network implementation using two VLAN groups. The

packets tagged with VID=107 are classified as data traffic, while the packets tagged with

VID=108 are classified as voice traffic.

Manual

4.3.2 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.

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 16: 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

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.

Packet received at subscriber Ethernet interface:

Each packet with this VID (Connection VLAN ID field) has the matching VLAN tag

(outermost only) removed and is forwarded over the wireless interface to the sector

controller.

Packet received at subscriber wireless interface (from sector controller):

A VLAN tag is added (outermost) and set to the VID (Connection VLAN ID field) for

this Connection. The packet is forwarded to the subscriber Ethernet port.

Pass-through: Select pass-through to create a Connection to process all untagged

packets and packets where the outermost VLAN ID tag does not match the VID

(Connection VLAN ID field) for with this Connection. Only one pass-through Connection

can be defined for each subscriber. If a pass-through Group is not configured, all

untagged packets received at the subscriber Ethernet ingress port are discarded.

Packet received at subscriber Ethernet interface:

The packet is forwarded unmodified over the wireless to the sector controller.

Packet received at subscriber wireless interface (from sector controller):

The packet is forwarded unmodified to the subscriber Ethernet port.

Connection VLAN ID: Enter the VLAN ID tag associated with this Connection definition.

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 AN-

80i 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.

4.7 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.

The procedures provided below include steps to setup a basic working configuration for

initial testing, and then to introduce VLAN traffic controls.

Manual

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 38: 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>

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.

6.3 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 39: 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.

& User

AN-80i

Manual

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 85.

The following table lists some common troubleshooting tips for the web interface.

Table 45: Diag. - Web Interface Diagnostics

6.4 Status Codes

6.4.1 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).

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).

7.8 Security Keys and Certificates

The certificates and keys required by the cryptographic modules are saved in non-

volatile memory. The certificates and keys are checked and loaded at each reboot. User

(usr) settings take precedence over factory (factory) settings. The following table lists the

methods for using CLI to configure operation with SSH or SSL.

Using SSH

When the software is first upgraded, the SSH 'usr' fields for DSA and RSA are blank.

The operator may download a customer-defined RSA and DSA key pair, or use the

'generate' command to create keys locally on the AN-80i. Note that customer-defined

key files must conform to the filename format described in Table 66: Security -- User Key

and Certificate Files. For example, the DSA key file for AN-80i with MAC address 00-09-02-00-

01-02 may be named: dsa_key_00-09-02-00-01-02.pem.

Using SSL (TLS)

When the software is first upgraded, the SSL 'usr' fields are blank. The operator may

download a customer-defined RSA and DSA key pair, or use the default (embedded)

certificate and private key (identical for all AN-80i units). Note that customer-defined

certificate and key files must conform to the filename format described in Table 66:

Security -- User Key and Certificate Files. For example, SSL certificate file for AN-80i with

MAC address 00-09-02-00-01-02 may be named: ssl_cert_00-09-02-00-01-02.pem.
