How To Use This Manual
This User Manual is designed to get you started using the Redline Communications
Access Node-30 (AN-30) Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) system by guiding you
through the step-by-step process of setting up the system for the first time.
To that end, the following principal steps will need to be followed in the order presented:
Review the safety and service information (Sections 2 and 3 of this manual)
Unpack the AN-30 system (Section 4)
Install the outdoor radio (transceiver plus antenna) (Section 6)
Install the indoor terminal (Section 6)
Configure the system via a host computer and (CLI) interface (Section 8)
Ensure the encryption key has been properly configured (see Section 0)
Install the 16/64 QAM license key to activate high speed Ethernet access (see Section 8.6
on page39)
This User Manual will also help with the following:

AN-30 System Overview
The AN-30 is a wireless transport system providing simultaneous interfacing for legacy
TDM and data traffic. Its architecture makes it an ideal platform to facilitate the
migration from a TDM based telecom infrastructure to a fully packet based VoIP Next
generation network.
The AN-30 can simultaneously support the transport of up to four (4) full or two (2)
fractional rate T1/E1 lines along with high speed Ethernet access, available through
optional license keys.
The AN-30 system operates in the licensed exempt band of 5.8 GHz and includes
advanced technologies to address any potential inter-cell interference issues. The system
supports modulation schemes, including BPSK, QPSK, 16 and 64 QAM to maximize
data rate, and hence spectral efficiency. The system also features selective coding to
ensure maximum robustness, and hence error free performance in the presence of hostile
propagation conditions.
