Each wireless link requires two AN-80i units. One AN-80i is configured as the PTP
Master (or PMP Sector Controller) and controls the wireless link. This function is
transparent to all Ethernet operations. The sector controller 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
remote AN-80i operates as a PTP Slave (or PMP Subscriber).

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 send 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.
