4 Test Overview
This Quick Install Guide provides steps for basic configuration and operational testing of
an AN-80i PTP link. This procedure assumes a setup consisting of two complete AN-80i
units. Refer to the AN-80i User Manual and Installation Guidelines for additional safety
instructions and for specific operational and installation details.
4.1 Required Test Facilities
You will require the following to perform these tests:
1. Identify the RF channel(s) to be used.
2. Obtain a valid Options Key for each AN-80i unit. This key (string of numbers, letters, and
dashes) must be entered into AN-80i configuration to allow full operation of the wireless
link.
3. Record the MAC address for each system to be tested/installed (label on AN-80i units).
The MAC address is needed to identify each AN-80i and select the correct Options Key
to be entered.
4. One or two PCs each having an Ethernet interface port, Web browser software installed
(Internet Explorer recommended), and a CAT-5 cross-over Ethernet cable for each PC.
5. A location with adequate space and power facilities.
6. 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
3.3 - 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
7. Redline does not endorse testing indoors with antennas. The operation of antennas in
close proximity results in poor connectivity due to high RF multipath effect and RF
saturation may damage equipment. Indoor testing may require the use of an RF
chamber.
When performing indoor testing the RF outputs from each AN-80i can be connected
together through a static/variable attenuator. Refer to the connection diagrams on the
following page.
4.2 Required Test Equipment
1. PC#1: Use a crossover CAT-5 Ethernet cable to connect PC#1 to the PoE Data In port
on the AN-80i. Equipped with a Web browser (requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher),
and Ethernet port for connection to AN-80i (PTP Slave). The IP address/subnet mask
must be set for the same subnet as the AN-80i. Recommended IP settings are:
IP address = 192.168.25.22, Net Mask = 255.255.255.0
2. PC#2: Use a crossover CAT-5 Ethernet cable to connect PC#2 to the PoE Data In port
on the AN-80i. Equipped with a Web browser and Ethernet port for connection to AN-80i
(PTP Master). The IP address/subnet mask must be set for the same subnet as the AN-

5 Assemble and Configure AN-80i
Unpack the AN-80i and connect all components according to the Quick Test wiring
diagrams on page 3. Do not power-on the AN-80i unit at this time.
PoE 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.
6 Configure AN-80i Systems
1. Enter the AN-80i Options Key
a) Use an Ethernet cable to connect the PC #1 (192.168.25.22) to the INPUT port of
the PoE power adapter.
b) Power-on the AN-80i by connecting AC power to the PoE power adapter.
c) On the PC, open a browser and enter the default IP address (192.168.25.2). Login to
the AN-80i using the factory defaults:
Username: admin
Password: admin
d) Click Product Options in the left hand menu of the Web screen and enter the options
key for the this AN-80i unit. Every options key is unique to the MAC address of an
AN-80i and keys cannot be reused. Option keys are provided by your local Redline
equipment supplier. The options key enables AN-80i features including the maximum
Uncoded Burst Rate (UBR) and frequency ranges (region codes). Without the
options key, only very limited operation is possible (restricted power, UBR, and
frequency selection).
Figure 3: Configuration - Options Key
Important: If an AN-80i is placed in-service without first
entering a purchased permanent Options Key -- the
wireless link will experience a service outage.
2. Configure the AN-80i
For each link, one AN-80i unit must be designated as 'PTP Master' and the second unit
as 'PTP Slave'. When powered-on, the PTP Master will actively transmit to establish a
link with the (passive) PTP Slave.
Click Configure System in the left hand menu of the Web screen and make the
recommended settings for each AN-80i. It is recommended to first configure the PTP
Slave.

to the second PoE power adapter.
3. Test the Wireless Connection
The AN-80i units should now be operating on the same RF channel and will
automatically negotiate a wireless connection. Use the following steps to verify
connectivity:
a) From PC #2, enter the IP address of the PTP Slave AN-80i (192.168.25.2) into the
Web browser and login to the AN-80i unit.
b) On PC #2, open a command line window and use the following command to send a
ping message to PC#1 (192.168.25.22) over the wireless interface.
ping 192.168.25.22
You should observe a result similar to the following:
Reply from 192.168.25.22: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=63
7 Field Installation Instructions
These steps should be performed after successfully completing the pre-installation tests
and configuration.
Install AN-80i
Install the AN-80i, mounting bracket, and antenna. The maximum length of the Ethernet
cable is 100 m (328 ft). For example, 98 m from the AN-80i to the PoE, and then 2 m
from the PoE to the network equipment connection.
Important: Ethernet Plug Must 'Click' into Socket
When inserting the RJ-45 plug, you should hear an audible 'click
' from the
plastic locking mechanism. Ensure the connector is locked before sealing and
weatherproofing the AN-80i. Do not use cables where this locking mechanism is
broken or has been removed!
Always follow local and national electrical and building codes for grounding and safety. If
you have determined that it is appropriate to install lightning protection for your system,
refer to the AN-80i Installation Guidelines manual for additional information.

1. Verify Free Channel (Spectrum Sweep)
It is recommended to check that the planned RF channel is available at the deployment
site. A spectrum sweep must be performed from both ends of the link. When performing
a sweep from the PTP Slave, the PTP Master must be powered-off or have the
transmitter disabled. The PTP Slave will remain passive during a spectrum sweep from
the PTP Master.
a) Login to the AN-80i Web interface and click Spectrum Sweep in the left hand menu.
b) Enter the Start Frequency, End Frequency, and Step (multiple of 2.5 MHz) for the
spectrum to be scanned. Set the No of Acquisitions to '10' and click the Start button
to begin the scan.
c) After reviewing the results, enter a narrower frequency scan and higher sample value
to monitor a potentially clear channel.
d) Repeat the spectrum sweep from the remote-end AN-80i.
Note: It is also recommended to use the Redline RF Monitoring Tool. This PC-based
application continuously polls both ends of a wireless link and graphs the RSSI and
SINADR values in real time. Contact your Redline sales representative to obtain this
useful deployment and troubleshooting tool.
2. Align Antennas
a) Align each antenna in azimuth and elevation plane. Verify that RSSI values at the
base station and subscriber match your link budget predictions. If the RSSI is not
within 5 dB of the expected value, recheck the antenna alignment and ensure there
are no obstructions in the RF path. Record RSSI/CINR as reference values.
b) If desired, you can enable the antenna alignment buzzer. This feature provides an
audible signal of the received signal strength (stronger signal->faster repetitions).
Click Configure System in the left hand menu of the Web screen and make the
following setting:
Antenna Alignment Buzzer Enable: (Enabled)
The buzzer remains active until disabled by the operator.
3. Connect AN-80i to the Network
Make all necessary changes to the AN-80i subscriber station configuration before
connecting to the network. Use a CAT-5 Ethernet cable to connect the data network to
the Data In port on the PoE power adapter. Refer to the AN-80i User Manual and AN-80i
Installation Guidelines manual for further details.
