Antenna Alignment; Web; Audible Alignment - Redline RedCONNEX RedACCESS AN-80IE User Manual

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.

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.
