CE Notice The AN-30e systems are CE certified for operation from 5.4 GHz to 5.8 GHz. The transceiver and antenna equipment must be installed by a qualified professional installer and must be installed in compliance with regional, national, and local regulations.
Figure 1: AN-30e System: Terminal, Transceiver, and Antenna A point-to-point (PTP) link is comprised of an AN-30e system configured as a sector controller (master-mode) and a single AN-30e configured as a subscriber station. The sector controller establishes a bi-directional data link with the subscriber station. The subscriber receives and sends data under the control of the sector controller.
The AN-30e is a high-performance, high-speed wireless Ethernet bridge terminal providing a scalable multi-service platform from a common equipment infrastructure and management system. The AN-30e system is a Class A digital device for use in a commercial, industrial or business environment.
Theory of Operation TDM transport is achieved through a form of circuit emulation specifically optimized for wireless operation. The TDM signals are received by the AN-30e at the serial port interfaces, sampled, and encapsulated within an Ethernet frame structure. The...

The AN-30e uses IEEE 802.1p to enforce QoS for TDM based applications such as mobility backhaul and enterprise PBX traffic. Traffic can be assigned to high or low priority queues.
AN-30e user manual Chapter Important: The AN-30e system must be installed by a professional installer who is familiar with both data network issues and RF installations including grounding and lightning protection. Quick Install Guide Experienced installers may refer to a copy of the guide "Redline AN-30e Quick Install Guide"...
4.3.3 Time Synchronization Port The AN-30e has one BNC input on the rear panel for time synchronization. This port accepts a standard IRIG-B signal (1 pps) from a GPS satellite clock. This port is currently disabled and is enabled in a future software release.
Sync LED The Sync LED lights solid green when the AN-30e is synchronized with an external clock. The Sync port is currently disabled, and is enabled in a future software release. Reset Switch The reset button is recessed in the front panel of the terminal.
Flickering Flickering Alarm conditions detected by the terminal are sent to the customer equipment using the TDM signaling channels. Refer to the following examples of AN-30e system behavior for additional information. Example 1: Loss of Tx to a subscriber CPE Loss of Tx to a subscriber CPE would result in RAI from the CPE to the subscriber terminal.
SNMP Configuration screen. See section 0: SNMP Settings on page 39 for additional information on setting up SNMP for the AN-30e. SNMP Settings Screen Click Configure SNMP (blue text) on the System Configuration screen to view and edit the SNMP settings.

Encryption Key: The correct encryption key must be entered on both communicating systems when encryption is enabled. Enter the MAC address of the communicating AN-30e system as the data encryption key for each system. Link Length Mode: Method for specifying the distance between AN-30e systems.
Upload Software Click Upload Software in the left hand menu to display the Upload AN-30e Software screen. The upload screen shown is used to upgrade the terminal with new software stored in a binary file on a server or host computer.
AN-30e user manual Product Options Click AN-30e Options in the menu (left side of screen) to enter an Option Key. An Options Key is a 32-character string, containing four dashes. Entering the options key is mandatory for system operation. Figure 21: AN-30e Product Options Screen The option key is recorded on a sticker affixed to the terminal.
The AN-30e provides an editing template where all changes are made to the TDM configuration in an off-line mode. Changes to this template do not effect the operation of the TDM module.
Clock: Set the TDM clocking mode for the TDM module. All TDM ports use the same clock for transmitting and receiving. In a typical link deployment, the AN-30e located closest to a master clock is set for Rx Loop, while the remote-end is set to adaptive clocking.
AN-30e user manual If Adaptive Mode is selected the AN-30e clock is derived from the jitter buffer level of an active TDM port. A single active bundle must be assigned to the selected port. The designated TDM port must have only one active bundle assigned when the clock is set to adaptive mode.
TDM signals are transported by encapsulating timeslot data within Ethernet packets. The AN-30e supports multiple packet streams, each grouping one or more timeslots. Each bundle may be assigned a separate destination address. If Fractional E1 is used, multiple bundles can be defined to a single port.
TDM signals are transported by sampling the TDM port signals, and encapsulating the timeslot data in Ethernet packets. The AN-30e supports up to eight separate packet streams, each grouping from one to thirty-two consecutive timeslots. Each bundle may be assigned to a separate destination IP address.
ID = 1, and the second bundle ID = 16. Note: The same Bundle ID must be used at the destination AN-30e system. Dest Bundle: This is the bundle ID for the subscriber. The default value is the same as the Bundle ID.
Packet Length: Set the Ethernet packet length used by this bundle (from 128 to 1024 bytes). The Packet Length setting determines the amount of TDM timeslot data collected before the Ethernet packet is sent to the remote AN-30e system. Each timeslot sample requires eight bytes of data. Step 3. Save Settings Send: Click Send to save the general settings.
Chapter The AN-30e is designed to simultaneously transport TDM signals and Ethernet data traffic over a single converged link. The two common AN-30e deployments are for Mobility Backhaul (TDM-only) and Enterprise backhaul (TDM + data). The following sections describe the basic operating parameters for each of these two applications.
64 QAM 2/3 6.1.3 Mobility Networks The AN-30e can be deployed in most mobility networks. Some networks can have characteristics that are exceptional and should be reviewed based on actual customer network configurations. The following figure illustrates a typical mobility backhaul deployment using the AN-30e wireless system.
<150 ms Not sensitive 1: End-to-end latency values including all devices on the network. The following figure illustrates a typical enterprise deployment using the AN-30e wireless system. Figure 38: AN-30e Enterprise Deployment The following table lists the operating requirements for enterprise deployments.
The Ethernet data throughput is dependent on protocol, packet size and transmission latency. The following tables list the Ethernet data throughput available based on the number of active TDM ports and the port speed (option key) installed on the AN-30e system.
AN-30e user manual Replacing System Fuse IMPORTANT: Always completely remove power from the AN-30e system before performing any maintenance on the terminal or transceiver. To replace fuse: 1. Disconnect power from the terminal. 2. Pry off the black plastic cover located on the back panel beside the power switch and extract the red fuse holder.

Agents are the entities that interface to the actual devices being managed. The AN-30e terminal is a managed device. Managed devices contain managed objects that may be hardware, configuration parameters, performance statistics, etc. that directly relate to the operation of the device in question, and are contained in a virtual information database known as a Management Information Base (MIB).
