Installing The Terminal - Redline AN-30 System User Manual

2. The RF cable should connect the antenna to the transceiver.
3. Connect the male IF cable connector to the female F-type connector on the
transceiver. The connector should then be weatherproofed with a standard
weatherproofing material for outdoor RF installations. Note that the provided IF
cable is for exterior use. It is recommended that the cable terminate at the exterior
wall using a grounding block, and that interior grade cable be used to connect the
terminal to the grounding block according to local codes. For convenience, a
grounding block is included with the AN-30 system. An optional lightning
arrestor may be used to protect the terminal and other indoor equipment from
sudden electrical surges. A suitable arrestor may be purchased through any of
Redline's system integrators. Note that performance may be affected by the use of
other arrestors.
4. Connect the IF cable to the F-type female connector located on the back of the
terminal. The connector should be tightened finger-tight and then tightened an
additional 1/8 of a turn.

Installing The Terminal

Once the AN-30 terminal and the radio are connected, the terminal is ready to be installed
and configured. The Ethernet data port will automatically negotiate network speed
(10/100 Mbps) based on the capability of the device to which it is interfacing with.
If the terminal is used for connection to a core network, the network device is likely to be
a router, hub, or switch as shown in Figure 10. In this configuration, a cross-over
Ethernet cable is required to connect between the terminal and the network device.
