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.

Manual
70-00072-01-07 Proprietary Redline Communications © 2008 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.
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 - 3.675PTP / 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

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-

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.

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.
