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.
3.1 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 Separation Distance
5.4 GHz 40 centimeters or more
5.8 GHz
20 centimeters or more (PMP)
310 centimeters or more (PTP)
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.

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

These steps should be performed after successfully completing the pre-
installation tests and configuration.
1. Install AN-80i
Install the AN-80i, mounting bracket, and antenna on the mast. Connect the
outdoor Ethernet cable from the AN-80i to the indoor PoE power adapter.
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.

2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Connect AN-80i to the Network
You should 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.
