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.

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.

AN-80i Manual
70-00072-01-07 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 11 of 106 Sept 18, 2008
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.

7.7: Regional Codes for additional information.
8. Operation is available for the 50 MHz band 3650-3700 MHz (unrestricted contention
based protocol).
1.5.2 Installation and Operation
FCC Part 90.1321 guidelines for deployment of AN-80i systems in the frequency band of
3650-3700 MHz, for unrestricted 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
FCC regulation part 90.1321 (governing operation in the 3650-3700 MHz band in the
US) states that transmissions are limited to a maximum transmit power of 1 Watt/MHz
(peak EIRP). Refer to the section on FCC antennas at the end of this manual.

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.

AN-80i Manual
70-00072-01-07 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 15 of 106 Sept 18, 2008
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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

4. When the transfer is complete, the AN-80i verifies the integrity of the new 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).

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
4.2 PMP Menu
The following menu items are available for configuring and monitoring the PMP
functions. See Table 13: Web - Default System Users on page 40 for the factory default
usernames and passwords.

4.3 Functional Description
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.

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
on the rules for tagged traffic. The packet VLAN information is not modified.

controller Ethernet ingress port are discarded.
Packet received at sector controller Ethernet interface: The packet is forwarded
unmodified over the wireless to all subscribers in this Group.
Packet received at sector controller wireless interface (from subscriber): The packet
is forwarded unmodified over the wireless to all subscribers in this Group.
If the sector controller Ethernet port is enabled, the packet is also forwarded to the
sector controller Ethernet port.
Group VLAN ID: Enter the VID associated with this Group definition.
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.

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.

4.6.4 System Status - PMP Wireless Statistics
Click System Status in the menu to view system, Ethernet statistics, and wireless
interface statistics. The sector controller status screen includes information about the
PMP deployment.
Figure 35: PMP - System Status Screen
Configured Stations: This is the number of Links defined (to subscribers).
Configured Connections: The number of Connections defined for all subscribers.
Active Wireless Links: The number of registered subscribers.
Active Wireless Connections: The number of connections to registered subscribers.
For all other statistics, refer to Wireless Statistics on page 26.
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.

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.

AN-80i Manual
70-00072-01-07 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2010 Page 87 of 106 Sept 18, 2008
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.

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.
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.

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).

6.4.2 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).

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.

Term
Definition
Antenna
Gain
The measure of antenna performance relative to a theoretical antenna called an
isotropic antenna.
ARQ
Automatic Repeat Request. This is the protocol used over the air for error
correction.
ATPC
Automatic Transmission Power Control. The sector controller-end system
automatically adjusts the RF transmit level of both systems to optimize
performance of the link.
Beamwidth
The angle of signal coverage provided by an antenna.
BFW
Broadband Fixed Wireless
Bps
Bits Per Second. Unit of measurement for the rate at which data is transmitted.
BPSK

dB
A ratio expressed in decibels.
dBi
A ratio, measured in decibels, of the effective gain of an antenna compared to
an isotropic antenna.
dBm
Decibels above a milliwatt.
DFS
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) can detect interference from other devices
using the same frequency (especially radar) and automatically take a pre-
selected action such as disable transmission or use alternative frequency.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A DHCP server automatically issues IP
addresses within a specified range to devices on a network.
Directional
Antenna
An antenna that concentrates transmission power into one direction.
Encryption
For the purposes of privacy, the transformation of data into an unreadable
format until reformatted with a decryption key.
Ethernet
A LAN architecture using a bus or star topology.
FD
Full Duplex. Refers to the transmission of data in two directions simultaneously.
FWA
Fixed Wireless Access
Gain
The ratio of the output amplitude of a signal to the input amplitude of a signal.
Typically expressed in decibels (dB).
Gateway
A network point that acts as an entrance to another network.
GHz
Gigahertz. 1,000,000,000 Hz, or 1,000 MHz
GUI
Graphical User Interface
IP
Internet Protocol. See TCP/IP.
Isotropic
A theoretic construct of an antenna that radiates its signal 360 degrees both
vertically and horizontally—a perfect sphere. Generally used as a reference.
IXC
Inter-exchange Carrier. A long-distance phone company.
LEC
Local Exchange Carriers. The traditional local wired phone company.
LED
Light Emitting Diode
LOS

OFDM
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing. OFDM spreads data to be
transmitted over a large number of orthogonal carriers.
OLOS
Optical Line Of Sight. A clear direct path between two antennas, with
obstructions within the first Fresnel zone.
Packet
A bundle of data organized in a specific way for transmission. The three
principal elements of a packet include the header, the text, and the trailer (error
detection and correction bits).
