2 4 Test Overview This Quick Install Guide provides steps for basic configuration and operational testing of an PTP link. This procedure assumes a setup consisting of two complete units. Refer to the User Manual and for additional safety instructions and for specific operational and installation details. 4.1 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 unit. This key (string of numbers, letters, and dashes) must be entered into configuration to allow full operation of the wireless link. 3. Record the MAC address for each system to be tested/installed (label on units). The MAC address is needed to identify each 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 (GHz) Mode Separation Distance PTP / PMP 130 cm (52 in) or more PTP / PMP 255 cm (101 in) or more 5.4 PTP / PMP 40 cm (16 in) or more 5.8 PMP 20 cm (8 in) or more PTP 310 cm (122 in) or more 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 can be connected together through a static/variable attenuator. Refer to the connection diagrams on the following page. 4.2 Required Test Equipment 1. PC#1: Use a crossover CAT-5 Ethernet cable to connect PC#1 to the PoE Data In port on the. Equipped with a Web browser (requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher), and Ethernet port for connection to (PTP Slave). The IP address/subnet mask must be set for the same subnet as the. Recommended IP settings are: IP address = , Net Mask = PC#2: Use a crossover CAT-5 Ethernet cable to connect PC#2 to the PoE Data In port on the. Equipped with a Web browser and Ethernet port for connection to (PTP Master). The IP address/subnet mask must be set for the same subnet as the AN- 80i. Recommended IP settings are: IP address = , Net Mask = Proprietary Redline Communications 2011 Page 2 of 8 March 16, 2011

4 5 Assemble and Configure Unpack the and connect all components according to the Quick Test wiring diagrams on page 3. Do not power-on the unit at this time. PoE Caution -- Warning to Service Personnel: 48 VDC 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 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. 6 Configure Systems 1. Enter the Options Key a) Use an Ethernet cable to connect the PC #1 ( ) to the INPUT port of the PoE power adapter. b) Power-on the by connecting AC power to the PoE power adapter. c) On the PC, open a browser and enter the default IP address ( ). Login to the using the factory defaults: Username: admin Password: admin d) Click Product Options in the left hand menu of the Web screen and enter the options key for the this unit. Every options key is unique to the MAC address of an and keys cannot be reused. Option keys are provided by your local Redline equipment supplier. The options key enables features including the maximum Uncoded Burst Rate (UBR) and frequency ranges (region codes). Without the options key, only very limited operation is possible (restricted power, UBR, and frequency selection). Figure 3: Configuration - Options Key Important: If an is placed in-service without first entering a purchased permanent Options Key -- the wireless link will experience a service outage. 2. Configure the For each link, one unit must be designated as 'PTP Master' and the second unit as 'PTP Slave'. When powered-on, the PTP Master will actively transmit to establish a link with the (passive) PTP Slave. Click Configure System in the left hand menu of the Web screen and make the recommended settings for each. It is recommended to first configure the PTP Slave Proprietary Redline Communications 2011 Page 4 of 8 March 16, 2011

(MHz) Must match Master RF setting Set RF according to network design ATPC Enable (Disabled) (Disabled) Adaptive Modulation (Enabled) (Enabled) System Mode PTP Slave PTP Master Encryption Type None None Link Length Measurement Mode Automatic Automatic Radio Enable (Enabled) (Enabled) After making these settings, click Save at the bottom of the configuration screen. If the IP address was changed, you must change the address entered in the Web browser to match the new IP address. Repeat steps 1 & 2 to configure the PTP Master using the second test PC ( ) if available. If only one PC is used, move the PC#1 Ethernet connection to the second PoE power adapter. 3. Test the Wireless Connection The 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 ( ) into the Web browser and login to the unit. b) On PC #2, open a command line window and use the following command to send a ping message to PC#1 ( ) over the wireless interface. ping You should observe a result similar to the following: Reply from : bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=63 7 Field Installation Instructions These steps should be performed after successfully completing the pre-installation tests and configuration. Install Install the, mounting bracket, and antenna. The maximum length of the Ethernet cable is 100 m (328 ft). For example, 98 m from the to the PoE, and then 2 m from the PoE to the network equipment connection. 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. 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 manual for additional information Proprietary Redline Communications 2011 Page 5 of 8 March 16, 2011

7 1. 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 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. 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. 2. 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. 3. Connect to the Network Make all necessary changes to the 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.
