Figure 2: Intro - AN-80i with 1 Foot Square Antenna
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.
The maximum total length of the Ethernet cable is 100 m (328 ft). For example, 98 m
from the AN-80i to the PoE and 2 m from the PoE to the network equipment.
2.2 RF
Port
The RF port is used to send and receive RF signals to and 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 three 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 small parabolic antennas. A simple stand-alone mounting bracket is available
that is allows the use of hose clamps to mount only the AN-80i unit (for example, a large
parabolic antenna must have separate mounting hardware).
2.4 Grounding
Connection
A ground-lug is provided on the AN-80i chassis. Use this connection to terminate a
grounding wire.
