Use the following steps to connect the Ethernet cable to the AN-80i unit.
1.
Locate the AN-80i Ethernet port and remove the large nut (4), the split rubberized
gasket (3) and the split washer (2).
2.
Thread the Ethernet cable through the large nut (4) and connect the RJ-45 connector
on the outdoor Ethernet cable (1) to the mating connector on the AN-80i. The RJ-45
connector is located inside the Ethernet port opening.
3.
Fit the split washer (2) over the Ethernet cable (1) and slide tightly against the AN-80i
chassis.
Important: Weatherproofing the Ethernet Port
The split washer must be installed on all AN-80i units having serial numbers beginning
with 20-2008-00NN-NNNNN. Beginning with AN-80i series 20-2308-00NN-NNNNN, the split
washer is not required (may not be included in kit).

4.
Fit the split rubberized gasket (3) over the Ethernet cable (1) and slide tightly against
the split washer (2). Note that the larger end of the gasket must be towards the end
of the Ethernet cable.
5.
Apply a small amount of grease to weatherproof the nut threads. Replace the nut (4)
on the threaded portion of the AN-80i chassis. The connector must be finger-tight
plus 1/8th turn only -- excessive force may damage the connector.
3.3.3
Disconnecting the Ethernet Cable
The RJ-45 connector is recessed within the AN-80i chassis. To disconnect the Ethernet
cable from the AN-80i, you must release the locking tab located in the chassis recess.
Carefully lift the tab to release the RJ-45 connector for removal from the AN-80i.
