Ethernet Port; Rf Port; Mounting Brackets; Grounding Connection - Redline AN-80i User Manual

Each wireless link requires two AN-80i units. One AN-80i is configured as the
PTP Master and controls the wireless link; this function is transparent to all
Ethernet operations. The master 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 second
AN-80i operates as a PTP Slave under control of the master unit.
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 sending 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.
Important: Correct grounding is very important for safe operation of wireless
equipment. Ensure that all grounding connections are made in accordance with
local and national standards.
