Security Advice

Cambium Networks systems and equipment provide security parameters that can be configured by
the operator based on their particular operating environment. Cambium recommends setting and
using these parameters following industry recognized security practices. Security aspects to be
considered are protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and assets.
Assets include the ability to communicate, information about the nature of the communications, and
information about the parties involved.

In certain instances Cambium makes specific recommendations regarding security practices,

however the implementation of these recommendations and final responsibility for the security of
the system lies with the operator of the system. Upon equipment release from manufacturing,
some software parameters may be set to an insecure setting to ease field deployment and initial
device management.

Universal GPS (UGPS)

 Provides network synchronization for
smaller networks where CMM may not
be cost effective. The UGPS provides
synchronization for one or two modules
X X X
so that even remote areas at the edge
of the network can operate with
synchronization for improved
performance.

Technology and Benefits

The radio automatically selects QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), 16-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude
Modulation), or 64-QAM based on RF environment to provide 1X, 2X, and 3X operation, respectively. This
provides 3 speeds and a throughput of over 45 Mbps aggregate (sum of up plus down when configured for
20MHz channel bandwidth) compared to FSK Canopy products with 2 speeds and a throughput of up to 14
Mbps.
The OFDM radios feature lower receive sensitivity, FEC (Forward Error Correction), and higher antenna
gain, all of which combine to provide longer range within regulatory-specified EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic
Radiated Power).
Details on performance are listed in Table 8 on page 36.
The PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios use an OFDM physical layer with 10 MHz channels and 256 sub-
carriers while the PMP 430 Series radios use an OFDM physical layer with configurable channel bandwidth
of 5, 10 or 20MHz. The PTP 230 Series radios use an OFDM physical layer with configurable channel
bandwidth of 10 or 20 MHz. A PMP 400 Series 5.4-GHz radio with 10MHz channels will interoperate with a
PMP 430 Series 5.4-GHz radio configured with 10MHz channel bandwidth and 1/4 cyclic prefix. However;
due to the different carrier and modulation schemes between these OFDM radios and FSK Canopy radios,
the two do not interoperate over the air. For example, a PMP 430/400 Series 5.4-GHz OFDM SM cannot
connect to a 5.4-GHz FSK AP.

nLOS Benefits and Limitations

In addition to providing LOS (Line-of-Sight) connectivity, use of OFDM technology can provide nLOS (near
Line-of-Sight) connectivity and sometimes NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight) connectivity:
 LOS: the installer can see the AP from the SM and the first Fresnel zone is clear.
 nLOS: the installer can see the AP from the SM, but a portion of the first Fresnel zone is blocked.
 NLOS: the installer cannot see the AP from the SM and a portion or even much of the first Fresnel
zone is blocked, but subsequent Fresnel zones are open.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 27 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

Figure 15 shows examples of LOS, nLOS, and NLOS links.

Figure 15: LOS, nLOS, and NLOS

Whereas multi-pathing degrades a link in some technologies (FSK, for example), OFDM can often use multi-
pathing to an advantage to overcome nLOS, especially in cases where the Fresnel zone is only partially
blocked by buildings, “urban canyons”, or foliage. OFDM tends to help especially when obstacles are near
the middle of the link, and less so when the obstacles are very near the SM, AP, or BH.
However, attenuation through walls and trees is substantial for any use of the 5.8 GHz, 5.4 GHz or 4.9 GHz
frequency bands. Even with OFDM, these products should not be expected to penetrate walls or extensive
trees and foliage.

Applications

Applications for the PMP 400/PTP 200 (5.4-GHz) and PMP 430/PTP 230 (5.4 & 5.8-GHz) Series include:
 High throughput enterprise applications
 nLOS video surveillance in metro areas
 Extend networks into urban areas
 Extend networks into areas with foliage
Applications for the PMP 49400 (4.9-GHz) and PTP 49200 Series systems include:
 High throughput licensed network for government applications
 Municipal network - nLOS video surveillance in metro areas
 Disaster relief network
 Data service network - extend licensed networks into areas with foliage

Configuration Options – RF, IP, DFS

These systems use the Canopy Media Access Controller (MAC) layer. Settings like Downlink Data %,
Range, and Control Slots are similar to Canopy FSK radios. An OFDM AP can communicate to over 200
SMs, similar to a Canopy FSK AP.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 28 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is almost identical to Canopy’s FSK products, with a few additions to
support OFDM-specific features.

Network features like High Priority using DiffServ, MIR, CIR, NAT, DHCP and VLAN are available for the
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series OFDM radios, and are configured in the same way as they are for
the PMP 100 Series and PTP 100 Series radios.

In the 5.4 and 5.8-GHz band, DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) is provided for regulatory compliant
operation, and is activated (if required per regulatory rules) using the “Region Code” feature. Two alternate
frequencies can be configured to provide service in the unlikely case a module detects radar and triggers
DFS, the same as standard Canopy. “External Antenna Gain” may need to be configured consistent with
any antennas used, to avoid making the system overly sensitive to radar detection. “Whitening,” a technique
used to avoid self-interference on Canopy FSK radios, is not offered as an option on the PMP 400/430 and
PTP 200/230 Series radios, as whitening is not a technology applicable to an OFDM signal.

Power and Grounding

PMP 430 Series APs and PTP 230 BHs use a nominal 56 VDC power system with power on pins 5 and 8
and return on pins 4 and 7. PMP 430 Series APs must use a CMM4 with a 56 VDC power supply. A
CMMmicro will not power these units as it is providing the wrong voltage on the wrong pins. PMP 430 Series
SMs use a 29.5 VDC wall mount power supply.

PMP 54400 APs and SMs and PTP 54200 BHs use a nominal 30 VDC power system with power on pins 7
and 8 and return on pins 4 and 5. PMP 54400 APs and PTP 54200 BHs can be powered from either a
CMMmicro with a 30 VDC power supply or a CMM4 with a 30 VDC power supply. A 29.5 VDC wall mount
power supply is available for PMP 54400 SMs.

PMP 49400 APs and SMs and PTP 49200 BHs use a nominal 56 VDC power system with power on pins 5
and 8 and return on pins 4 and 7. PMP 49400 APs and PTP 49200 BHs must use a CMM4 with a 56 VDC
power supply. A CMMmicro will not power these units as it is providing the wrong voltage on the wrong pins.
A 56 VDC power supply is available for PMP 49400 SMs.

IMPORTANT!
When working on sites with both power systems, use care not to wrongly
mix power supplies and radios as the two power systems use different
pinouts as well as different voltages.

On sites with a mix of 30 VDC and 56 VDC radios (up to the limit of 8 radios supported by one CMM4), a
CMM4 connected to both a 30 VDC power supply and a 56 VDC power supply can be used.

Due to the full metallic connection to the tower or support structure through the AP’s antenna or a
connectorized BH’s antenna, grounding the AP or BH and installing a 600SS surge suppressor within 3 ft (1
m) of the AP or BH (see Figure 14) is strongly recommended to suppress over voltages and over currents,
such as those caused by near-miss lightning. APs and BHs provide a grounding lug, as shown in Figure 16,
for grounding to the tower or support structure.

A pole mount kit (model no. SGHN5169A) is available for the 600SS. The pole mount kit, shown in Figure
17, provides a grounding point on one of its U-bolts that can be used for terminating ground straps from both
the 600SS and the AP.

Administration Systems

Cambium Networks Wireless Manager is recommended for managing PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230
Series products with Release 12.1.

Cambium’s Wireless Manager is available for download at: http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support under

“Management Tools”.

Wireless Manager is used to manage and monitor Canopy modules. However; the standalone CNUT tool
must be used to upgrade radio software.

CNUT 3.20.19 (Canopy Network Updater Tool) is the stand-alone software update tool for PMP 400/430 and
PTP 200/230 Series products.. CNUT is available at http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support under
“Management Tools”.

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 equipment may also be managed by SNMP queries based on the Canopy
MIB (Management Information Base) objects.

Release 11.0 adds support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol supporting:
 SM Authentication allows only known SMs onto the network (blocking “rogue” SMs), and can
be configured to ensure SMs are connecting to a known network (preventing SMs from
connecting to “rogue” APs). RADIUS authentication is used for SMs, but not used for APs,
BHMs, or BHSs.

 SM Configuration configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), CIR
(Committed Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the
RADIUS server when an SM registers to an AP.

 Centralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and SM

usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to be centrally administered
in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for
each username on the RADIUS server. BHMs and BHSs do not support RADIUS accounting.
This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or
pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element
Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the
ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account.

Chapter 3: Planning

PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series systems use 10 MHz channel bandwidth configurable on 5 MHz channel
centers while the PMP 430 Series is configurable with a 5, 10 or 20 MHz channel bandwidth and the PTP
230 Series is configurable with a 10 or 20 MHz channel bandwidth. When a PMP 430 is configured with 5
MHz channel bandwidth, the radio is configurable on 2.5 MHz center channels and is configurable on 5 MHz
center channels when it is configured for either 10 or 20 MHz channel bandwidth.

This channel size, along with some different characteristics due to the use OFDM carrier technology and
QPSK, 16-QAM, or 64-QAM modulations, supports somewhat different channel planning than for standard
Canopy. (For reference, PMP 100 Series uses 20 MHz channels configurable on 5 MHz centers, single
carrier technology, and 2-level and 4-level FSK modulation.)

Tower Channel Planning

For a single cluster of 4 APs on a tower, 2-channel re-use with channels on 10 MHz channel center spacing
gives good performance. In channel design parlance, this can be stated as ABAB channel planning, with no
guard band needed between A and B. A typical arrangement might be to use radios configured for 5480
MHz aimed north and south, and radios configured for 5490 MHz aimed east and west.
Available 5.8 GHz channel center frequencies for each region are shown in Table 9. These vary by region
due to different band edge RF specifications (for example, between Canada/US and Europe).

(For reference, standard Canopy uses 2-channel re-use with clusters of 6 APs on a tower with channel
center spacing of either 25 MHz for Advantage APs or 20 MHz for non-Advantage APs. This is ABCABC
channel planning, with 5 MHz guard band between the 20 MHz channels for Advantage APs and no guard
band needed for non-Advantage.)
Available 5.4 GHz channel center frequencies for each region are shown in Table 10. These vary by region
due to
 different band edge RF specifications (for example, between Canada/US and Europe)
 requirements in US, Canada, Europe and Australia to not impinge on the frequencies between
5600 and 5650 MHz, which are frequencies on which some weather radar operate

The best practice for channel planning for APs is to conduct extensive site RF surveys before choosing
channels. The SM provides a basic Spectrum Analyzer that can be used for site surveys. For more
sophisticated analysis, consider consulting an experienced RF engineer and using a full-featured spectrum
analyzer.

Downtilt

The standard AP antenna produces a 3 dB beam elevation (up and down) of 5°, with near-in null fill that
allows good coverage of close-in SMs that otherwise would be affected by the narrow pattern. This is a
narrower pattern than operators may be used to with standard Canopy’s 60° 3 dB beam, and may require
down tilt on the antenna. The bracket of the standard antenna has provision for measured down tilt. The
recommended practice is to use one of the many radio analysis and mapping tools or on-line tools to
calculate down tilt based on antenna height above the service area.

Weather Radar

Spectrum between 5600 and 5650 MHz (sometimes called the “weather notch”) is used by some weather
radar and is not allowed for use by regulations in some regions, including US, Canada and, for new
equipment, Europe. When the Canopy module is set to either of those regions (configured on the
Configuration => General page of the module), it will not allow configuration of the appropriate frequencies,
as shown in Table 10. Even in regions where use of the spectrum between 5600 and 5650 MHz is allowed,
the best practice is to not use these channels if there are any other usable channels available. Only use the
channels in this “weather notch” after monitoring the spectrum for a week or more using a spectrum analyzer
to ascertain the spectrum is clear and there is no weather radar in the area that will cause interference to
your Canopy system.

Range and throughput planning

PMP 430 and PTP 230 5.4 and 5.8-GHz series modules provide 45+ Mbps aggregate throughput at
distances of 1.2 miles (1.92 km) and 2.3 miles (3.68 km) respectively. PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
modules provide up to 21 Mbps aggregate throughput at distances of 1.4 miles (2.25 km) in RF
environments with clear line-of-sight and low background interference levels. Additional performance details
are shown in Table 8 on page 36. RF environments with occluded Fresnel zones or higher background
interference levels may give lower, but still very good, performance, depending on the specifics of the
environment.

Similar to standard Canopy, at any given instant, any radios operating at 1X or 2X take more “air time” to
transmit a given amount of data than if they were running at 3X. Similar to standard Canopy, PMP 400/430
and PTP 200/230 Series modules may see reduced total throughput when handling traffic with a high
percentage of small packets.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 40 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

The effect of this, again similar to standard Canopy, is that at any given instant total throughput depends on
 Mix of links running at 3X, 2X, and 1X
 Mix of packet sizes

Spectrum Analyzer

A spectrum analyzer is available on the SM’s Tools => Spectrum Analyzer page. The spectrum analyzer is
also available on an AP by temporarily converting it to an SM by setting the Device Type to SM on the AP’s
Configuration => General page (any SMs registered to the AP will deregister while the AP is in SM mode).
The spectrum analyzer works like the spectrum analyzer in classic FSK SMs.

Spectrum analyzer uses include:

 Showing relative power levels (instantaneous and average) across the band, to aid in selecting
channels and performing RF planning.
 Troubleshooting to finding the frequency, relative power level, and location of interferers by rotating
a single SM, or triangulating from multiple SMs in a geographical area.

Release 10.2 added a configurable setting on the Tools => Spectrum Analyzer web page to display either
instantaneous or averaging for spectrum analyzer results for the PTP 100 BHs and PMP 430 5.8-GHz
Series. Release 10.3 added this enhancement for the PMP 400/430 5.4-GHz, PTP 200 BHs and PMP 100
Series.

The PMP 430 and PTP 230 Series uses average detector rather than peak detector algorithm which results
in ~10 dBm lower readings than PMP 400 Series and FSK which use peak detectors. For example, when
measuring power from an OFDM AP transmitting on a given channel the PMP 430 5.8-GHz OFDM SM
might show a Receive Power Level of -60 dBm while a PMP 100 5.7-GHz FSK SM spectrum analyzer
shows a power level of -53 for that channel.

In addition, an PMP 430 SM measures power across 5, 10 or 20-MHz channels (PTP 230 measures power
across 10 or 20-MHz channels) while an FSK SM measures power across 20-MHz channels, so power
measurements are not directly comparable between the two. For both FSK and OFDM, the receiver’s
channel bandwidth has been added to the display. This is important to note as the width of the OFDM
channel (5, 10 or 20MHz) affects the bandwidth data of the spectrum analyzer sample.
The built-in spectrum analyzer can be very useful as a tool for troubleshooting and RF planning, but doesn’t
duplicate the accuracy and programmability of a dedicated, high-end spectrum analyzer, which may be
needed in some cases.

Collocation of 5.8 GHz OFDM with Standard 5.7 GHz

Canopy FSK

When locating 5.8 GHz PMP 430 OFDM APs near 5.7 GHz standard Canopy FSK APs (especially on the
same tower, but also in the same geographical area), the following practices should be followed to avoid
interference between the two systems:
 Plan spacing between OFDM and FSK channels to provide 25 MHz center spacing, which
gives a 10 MHz guard band between the 10 MHz OFDM channel and the 20 MHz FSK
channel.
 Coordinate Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slot settings using both the OFDM and the
FSK frame calculators

The following paragraphs give more details on these recommended practices.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 41 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

Channel Spacing

Center spacing of 25 MHz between collocated FSK and OFDM APs provides a 10 MHz guard band between
the 20 MHz and 10 MHz channels, which has proven useful and needed in field testing. Alternatively, in
cases where channel planning is severely restricted and the 10 MHz guard band (25 MHz spacing) is not
possible, using vertical separation of 5 feet or more between the OFDM and FSK APs may allow collocation
with no guard band (15 MHz spacing) in some deployments.

Frame Calculations and Configuration Settings

Interference between collocated Canopy systems can be avoided by following two practices:

1. Use a CMM with GPS synchronization. This synchronizes frame start, so that all collocated
APs begin transmitting at the same time each 2.5 millisecond frame.
2. Use the frame calculators in each module, OFDM and FSK (the frame calculators are different,
as frame details are different) to select Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slots for each
system that produce “Rec SEQ Start” values that are within 300 bit times. This ensures that all
collocated APs end transmission each frame before any collocated AP begins to receive.

When collocating only Canopy OFDM APs together, or collocating only Canopy hardware-scheduled FSK
APs together, the simple practice of setting the Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slots the same on all
APs ensures they won’t interfere with each other. (These parameters are set on the “Configuration =>
Radio” page of the AP.) However, due to the different “physical” layer between Canopy OFDM and Canopy
FSK, this doesn’t necessarily work when collocating OFDM and FSK together.

You will need to use frame calculators on both the OFDM and FSK modules, as they are different frame
calculators. For the same Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slots, the frame calculators give different
results. Use of the frame calculators is similar to the previous use when collocating PMP 100 FSK software-
scheduled and hardware-scheduled APs.

Co-location of 5.4 GHz OFDM with Standard 5.4 GHz

Canopy FSK

When locating 5.4 GHz PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series OFDM APs near 5.4 GHz standard Canopy
FSK APs (especially on the same tower, but also in the same geographical area), the following practices
should be followed to avoid interference between the two systems:

 Plan spacing between OFDM and FSK channels to provide 25 MHz center spacing, which
gives a 10 MHz guard band between the 10 MHz OFDM channel and the 20 MHz FSK
channel.
 Coordinate Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slot settings using both the OFDM and the
FSK frame calculators

The following paragraphs give more details on these recommended practices.

scheduled and hardware-scheduled APs.

Procedure 2: Finding collocation values using Frame

Calculators
Using the “Tools => Frame Calculator” on an OFDM module, enter the desired
Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slot settings, click Calculate, and observe
the “Rec SEQ Start” value.
Using the “Tools => Frame Calculator” on an FSK module, enter the desired Downlink
Data %, Range, and Control Slot settings, click Calculate, and observe the “Rec
SEQ Start” value.
Iterate, usually adjusting the FSK Downlink Data % and the OFDM Downlink Data %
values by a few percent each time, until the “Rec SEQ Start” times of all
collocated modules are within 300 bit times of each other.
Configure the OFDM modules using the resulting OFDM values, and the FSK
modules using the resulting FSK values.
The frame calculator page (FSK and OFDM) has been simplified with Release 10.3 to show
only information pertinent to co-location. It will now display AP TX end time and AP RX start
time which allows the operator to more easily calculate co-location duty cycles.

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)

PMP 430 and PTP 230 (OFDM) radios display a Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) on the AP/BHM and the
SM/BHS. The higher the SNR, the better the link.

Typical uses of SNR include:

 Initial installation, placement, and aiming. The best link has the highest SNR,
as well as a sufficient receive power level.
 Link health monitoring
 General troubleshooting
 Detecting interference – watch for decreasing SNR while receive power level
remains constant.

The auto-rate adapt algorithm chooses the best modulation for each link direction based on
resend rates, not SNR, but the SNRs at which modulation typically changes can be measured
and are shown in Table 12.
Table 12: Minimum SNR by Modulation and Direction

Minimum SNR
Modulation
Downlink Uplink

1X 7 dB 9 dB
2X 15 dB 16 dB
3X 23 dB 24 dB

Note that due to differences in the SM/BHS and AP/BHM radios, the SNRs are slightly different for the
downlink and the uplink.

Even if a link is capable of operating at a high SNR, if you lock the link down to 1X it won’t report
a SNR higher than it needs to run in 1X. (And the best practice continues to be to let the system
use rate adapt across 1X/2X/3X to get the best link performance and highest sector capacity.)
Traffic is needed to most accurately measure SNR, so a link with little traffic will not have as
accurate of an SNR reading.

Chapter 4: Configuring

Most PMP 400/430 Series and PTP 200/230 Series configuration items are identical or very similar to
configuration items in standard FSK Canopy modules. This section discusses those that are new or changed
and also remarks on some that remain unchanged.

Link Operation – 1X/2X/3X

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series products offer three levels or speeds of operation – 1X, 2X, and 3X.
If received power is less due to distance between the AP/BHM and the SM/BHS or due to obstructions, or
interference affects the RF environment, the Canopy system will automatically and dynamically adjust links
to the best operation level. Distance, rates and other information associated with the operation levels are
shown in Table 8 on page 36.
The system chooses its operation rate dynamically, based on Canopy’s internal ARQ (Automatic Repeat
reQuest) error control method. With ARQ, every data slot of every frame sent over the air (except downlink
broadcast) is expected to be acknowledged by the receiver, and if acknowledgement is not received, the
data is resent. The sending unit monitors these resends, and adjusts the operation rate accordingly. A
normal system may have links that move from 3X to 2X (or 1X) and back as the RF environment changes.
Furthermore, the links operate independently; normal operation can have a downlink running at 3X while the
uplink RF environment only supports 2X.
The default is for both AP/BHM and SM/BHS to be enabled for 3X operation. An operator may “lock down” a
link to 1X/2X operation or to only 1X operation using the Dynamic Rate Adapt parameter on the SM’s/BHS’s
Configuration => General page as shown in Figure 24. This parameter locks down the uplink or downlink
operation. An operator may lock down an entire sector to 2X and 1X operation, or to only 1 X operation,
using the Dynamic Rate Adapt parameter on the AP’s Configuration => General page. This parameter locks
down uplink or downlink of all links in the sector, and overrides any SM 1X/2X/3X settings. For example, if
an individual link is set for 3X operation at the SM and the sector is set for 1X operation at the AP, all links in
the sector will be locked down to 1X operation.

Figure 24: Dynamic Rate Adapt on AP "Configuration => General" page

In most cases an operator is well-served to leave the setting at 1X/2X/3X and let the system automatically
and dynamically choose the best rate for each link. Cases when it may be useful to lock down a link to 1X or
2X include:
 If you are having trouble aiming a link or getting it to register, locking the link down to 2X or 1X may
help in some cases.
 If the link is suspected to be oscillating between operation rates to the detriment of throughput,
locking the link down may increase throughput. Usually, even if the link is moving rapidly between
operation rates, overall link throughput and sector capacity are highest if the link is left at 3X and
the link can choose its own rate dynamically.
 General link troubleshooting

Optimal sector utilization involves having as many links as possible running at 3X. This provides as much
capacity as possible for the sector. As an example, you want to limit throughput to an individual subscriber to

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 46 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

1X rates. This does not mean you should set that link to 1X operation. Use MIR (Maximum Information
Rate) settings to cap the SM’s bandwidth use, but let the link run at as high an operation rate as the RF
environment will allow. This ensures that any transmission uses as little “air time” as possible, leaving more
“air time” for other SMs.

Transmitter Output Power (and no Jitter)

For the PMP 400 5.4-GHz OFDM to meet 27 dBm EIRP with the connectorized 18 dBi antenna (with 1 dB of
cable loss) that comes with the 5440AP or 5441AP, or the integrated 17 dBi antenna that comes with a
5440BH or 5441BH, the maximum setting allowed is 10 dBm (the default) since 27-17=10.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 47 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

If a connectorized AP or BHM has been purchased and the operator has provided the antenna, the
Transmitter Output Power must be configured based on that antenna and consistent with local or regional
regulations. For example, if a 5440APC is being used with a 15 dBi antenna, then the maximum setting
allowed to meet 27 dBm EIRP is the full 12 dBm of which the radio is capable.

IMPORTANT!
It is the responsibility of the operator and professional installer to ensure
Transmitter Output Power is set within regulatory limits for their country or region.
These must be set or confirmed on initial configuration and after a module is
reset to factory defaults, and should be confirmed after the software on a module
is upgraded.

In most cases the operator will want to set the AP’s Transmitter Output Power to the maximum allowed so
as to have the greatest overall range and the greatest range for 3X operation. It may be useful to reduce
Transmitter Output Power when Canopy systems are located close together, with good coverage given
because of their proximity and full power isn’t needed, or in cases where an operator is trying to reduce
interference from the Canopy system to other systems.

Each SM’s Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP. The AP monitors the received power
from each SM, and adjusts each SM’s Transmitter Output Power so that the received power at the AP from
that SM is not greater than -60 dBm. In addition, for 5.4-GHz SMs, the AP sets the SM’s Transmitter output
power so the SM’s EIRP will be within regulatory requirements.

PMP 400/430 Series networks use Auto-TPC because OFDM technology is more sensitive to large
differences in power levels from SMs operating at various distances from the AP than the single carrier
technology used in Canopy FSK.

PTP 200 Series bridges do not use Auto-TPC – the operator sets Transmitter Output Power on the
“Configuration => Radio” page of both the BHM and the BHS.

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series modules display the typical Canopy “Receive Power Level” as
shown in Figure 25. Due to the different modulation technique no “jitter” is calculated or displayed.

Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slots

The Downlink Data parameter on the AP’s and BHM’s Configuration => General page can be set in 1%
increments between 10% and 90%. The default as shown in Figure 26 is 75%.

In order for U.S. model 5.4 GHz PTP Series radios to meet FCC DFS compliance, the Downlink Data has
been limited to 10-65% at the Backhaul Master. For all other regions of 5.4 GHz PTP 230 Series radios and
all regions of 5.8 GHz PTP radios, the Downlink Data range remains 10-90%.

The Range parameter on the AP’s Configuration => General page can be set in 1-mile increments between
1 and 30 miles for PMP 430 5 and 10MHz channel bandwidth and between 1 and 24 miles for PMP 430
20MHz channel bandwidth. The default as shown in Figure 26 is 2 miles. Set the Range to the distance of
the furthest SM from any AP in the area. The Range parameter effectively determines frame structure of the
Canopy over-the-air protocol, especially turn-around guard time. Setting Range the same across a
geographical area give best overall performance.

Range does not change transmit power levels. Do not set a higher Range than needed. A higher Range
gives no higher power and slightly reduces throughput to allow for higher air delay and turn-around time.

If the Range is set to greater than 5 miles, the SM limits the Downlink Data to a maximum of 85% to avoid
close-in SMs having registration issues. For example, a Range of 6 miles and a Downlink Data of 90% is
not allowed. Operationally,
 if the Downlink Data % is set to greater than 85% and the user enters a range greater than 5 miles,
the module will reset the Downlink Data % to 85%
 if the range is set to greater than 5 miles and the user enters a Downlink Data % of greater than
85%, the module will reset the Downlink Data % to 85%.

Figure 26: Max Range & Downlink Data on AP "Configuration => Radio"
page.

Suggested Control Slot settings as a function of number of SMs in the sector are shown in Table 14.
Generally all APs in a cluster should use the same number of control slots so as to keep the frame
structures, and thereby the send and receive timing, the same.

Note 1: Any OFDM sector with the Hi Priority Channel enabled on any SM
should be configured with at least 1 Control Slot on the AP.

In some cases operators may find that sectors with high levels of small packet requests, such as might be
seen in a sector handling several VoIP streams, benefit overall from slightly higher Control Slot settings. If
different sectors require different numbers of Control Slots, the operator should use the Frame Calculator to
find a combination of settings that put “Rec SEQ Start” times within 300 bit times. See section 0 on page 43
for details.

Control Slots are reserved for SMs’ bandwidth requests and never handle data. A higher number of control
slots gives higher probability that an SM’s bandwidth request will be heard when the system is heavily
loaded, but with the tradeoff that sector capacity is reduced by about 100 kbps for each Control Slot
configured, so there will be less capacity to handle the request.

Uplink Data Slots are used first for data. If they are the not needed for data in a given frame the data slot
can be used by the SMs for bandwidth requests. This allows SMs in sectors with zero control slots
configured to still make bandwidth requests using unused data slots.

Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slots should be set consistent with the results of any collocation
planning done using OFDM and FSK frame calculators in section 0 on page 43.

The BHM performs its own ranging and so no range need be set for it.

BHMs do not have settings for control slots, as there is no bandwidth request contention on the one-to-one
link.

DFS and Regulatory Parameters for 5.8 & 5.4 GHz

Radios

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a requirement in several countries and regions for 5 GHz unlicensed
systems to detect radar systems and avoid co-channel operation. DFS and other regulatory requirements
drive the settings for the following parameters, as discussed in this section:

 Region Code
 Primary Frequency
 Alternate 1 and Alternate 2 Frequencies
 External Antenna Gain

On the AP/BHM, the “Home => DFS Status” page shows current DFS status of all three frequencies and a
DFS log of past DFS events. Unlike standard Canopy, the PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series AP, SM,
and BH do not offer “Whitening”, as the OFDM technology obviates the need for it.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 50 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

Figure 27: DFS Status on AP "Home => DFS Status" page.

Background and Operation

The modules use region-specific DFS based on the “Region Code” selected on the module’s “Configuration
=> General” page. By directing installers and technicians to set the Region Code correctly, the operator
gains confidence the module is operating according to national or regional regulations without having to deal
with the details for each region.

Available “Region Codes” include Other, United States, Canada, Europe, Brazil, India, Russia, Indonesia
and Australia. Operators in regions or countries not listed and with requirements aligned with one of the
listed countries should set the Region Code to that country. Operators in regions or countries with no
requirements for DFS should use the “Other” Region Code.

New APs and BHMs from the factory will show a Region Code of “None”, and will not transmit until the
Region Code is set to a value other than “None”.

Canada, United States and Europe have requirements to avoid certain 5.4-GHz frequencies used by some
weather radar. To meet this requirement, modules set to a Region Code of Canada, United States or Europe
will display the center channel frequencies shown in Table 10 on page 39 on the AP’s and BHM’s Carrier
Frequency pop-up and on the SM’s and BHS’s Frequency Scan Selection List.

Table 15 shows the details of DFS operation and channels available for each Region Code, including
whether DFS is active on the AP/BHM, SM/BHS, which DFS regulation apply, and any channel restrictions.
DFS does not apply to 4.9 GHz.

After an AP or BHM with DFS boots it performs a channel availability check on its main carrier frequency for
1 minute, monitoring for the radar signature without transmitting. If no radar signature is detected during this
minute, the module then proceeds to normal beacon transmit mode. If it does detect a radar signature, the
st
frequency is marked for a 30 minute non-occupancy period, and the module moves to its 1 alternate carrier
frequency. The AP/BHM continues this behavior through its 2nd alternate frequency if needed and then
waits until the first frequency ends the 30 minute non-occupancy period. While operating, if the AP/BHM
detects a weather radar signature it marks the current carrier frequency for a 30 minute non-occupancy
period and moves to check the next-in-line carrier frequency.

An SM/BHS does not begin transmission until it detects a beacon from an AP/BHM. If APs/BHMs are not
transmitting, SMs/BHSs will be silent.

The FCC and IC require DFS only on APs/BHMs. Europe applies the ETSI specification to both APs/BHMs
and SMs/BHSs, while Brazil applies it only to AP/BHMs. In the ETSI case, when an SM/BHS boots, it scans
to find a Canopy beacon from a AP/BHM. If an AP/BHM is found, the SM/BHS performs a channel
availability check on that frequency for 1 minute, monitoring for the radar signature, without transmitting. A
DFS decision is made based on the following:

 If no radar pulse is detected during this 1 minute, the SM/BHS proceeds through normal steps to
register to an AP/BHM.
 If the SM/BHS does detect radar, it locks out that frequency for 30 minutes and continues scanning
other frequencies in its scan list.

Note, after an SM with DFS has seen a radar signature on a frequency and locked out that frequency, it may
connect to a different AP if color codes, AP transmitting frequencies, and SM scanned frequencies support
that connection.

BHSs would not be expected to connect to a different BHM, as backhaul links should be configured using
color codes and authentication to ensure a BHS only connects with its intended BHM.

To simplify operation and ensure compliance, an SM/BHS takes on the DFS type of the AP/BHM to which it
registers. For example, when an SM in Europe registers to an AP with the Region Code set to “Europe”, that
SM will use ETSI DFS, no matter what its Region Code is set to, even if its Region Code is set to “None”.
Note, the operator should still configure the Region Code in the SM correctly, as future releases may use the
Region Code for additional region-specific options.

For all modules running DFS, the module displays its DFS state on its Home => General Status page as one
of the following:
 Checking Channel Availability Remaining time n seconds, where
n counts down from 60 to 1.
 Normal Transmit
 Radar Detected Stop Transmitting for n minutes, where n counts
down from 30 to 1.
 Idle, only for SM/BHS, indicates module is scanning, but has not detected a beacon
from an AP/BHM. Once it detects beacon, the SM/BHS begins a Channel Availability
Check on that frequency.

Regulatory Note: A PMP 430 Series AP with a Region Code set to United States will not be configurable to
another Region Code by installers or end users. This is in response to FCC KDB 594280 and ensures that
end users and professional installers will not have access to settings which could allow a radio to be
configured to operate in a manner other than that which was specified in the FCC equipment authorization
grant.

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

Within the United States and its territories the PMP 430 region code is pre-configured to United States and
not selectable in the Configuration => General web page. Radios sold in regions outside of the United States
and its territories are required to set the Region Code to the region in which it is used.

Setting DFS and Regulatory Parameters

Setting the Region/Country Code
All System Release 11.2 modules display Region Code settings on the Configuration => General page as
shown in Figure 28 on page 55.

All System Release 12.1 modules display Region Code and Country Code settings on the Configuration =>
General page as shown in Figure 29 on page 55.

On new modules from the factory, or after resetting to factory defaults, the operator should set this Region
Code/Country Code consistent with their country or region. For countries or regions not listed in the Region
Code/Country Code drop-down, set the Region Code consistent with your country’s regulatory requirements.
For example, several countries in South America follow the same DFS regulations as Brazil, so in those
countries the Region Code should be set to “Brazil”.

IMPORTANT!
Operators under regulatory requirements for DFS must ensure that
Canopy parameters Region Code/Country Code are set correctly. This
applies to initial configuration, after a module is reset to factory defaults,
or after a module is upgraded.

An AP or BHM will not transmit if the Region Code/Country Code are configured to “None”.

IMPORTANT!
On APs or BHMs received from the factory, with Region Code/Country
Code set to “None”, the operator must set the Region Code before the
module will transmit. The same is true of APs and BHMs which have
been reset to factory defaults.

System Release 11.2

Figure 29: Region/Country Code on AP “Configuration => General” page,

System Release 12.1

An SM/BHS has both a configurable Region/Country Code and, once it registers to an AP or BHM, an
active Regional Code. After an SM/BHS registers to an AP/BHM, it uses the region code of the AP/BHM to
determine its DFS behavior and displays the AP/BHM’s region code on its Home => General Status page.

The AP or BHM always operates under its manually configured Region Code (the one on the Configuration
=> General page), and so does not show a Region Code on its Home => General Status page.

Under normal operations, APs and BHMs operating with DFS (see Table 15) will experience an additional
minute after power-up or reboot before they will register any SMs or BHSs. SMs and BHSs operating with
DFS (see Table 15) will experience an additional minute after they reboot before they will register to an AP
or BHM.

It takes two reboots to set the parameters described below on a module starting from factory defaults. Set
the Region Code/Country Code as described above, Save Changes, and Reboot. If the module then
invokes DFS (based on the region code and frequency band as shown in Table 15), the Radio Frequency
Carriers and External Antenna Gain parameters will be displayed. Set them as described below, Save
Changes, and Reboot again.

IMPORTANT!
Set the Region Code/Country Code, Save Changes, and Reboot to see the
context-sensitive DFS parameters. Unlike with many context-sensitive
parameters, these do not appear in the GUI with only a Save Changes.

Setting Radio Frequencies

APs and BHMs running DFS include an option for setting up to two alternate frequencies on the
“Configuration => Radio” page, in addition to the primary frequency. These alternate frequencies are used in
the unlikely event radar is detected and the main frequency is locked out due to DFS detection. If these are
left at “None”, no backup frequencies will be used in the case of DFS detection, and the AP or BHM will lock
itself out from any transmission for 30 minutes.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 55 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

If radar is detected on the main frequency, either at startup or during operation, a Channel Availability Check
st
will be performed on the 1 alternate frequency before it is then used for transmission. If radar is detected on
st
the 1 alternate frequency, either during Channel Availability Check or during operation, a Channel
Availability Check will be performed on the 2nd alternate frequency before it is then used for transmission. If
radar is detected on the 2nd alternate frequency, either during Channel Availability Check or during
operation, the radio will cease transmission unless or until the primary channel clears its 30-minute lock-out.

The alternate frequencies configured in the AP/BHM must be included in the SM/BHS’s Frequency Scan
List, or the SMs/BHS can’t follow their AP/BHM if it switches to a new channel. Additional frequencies may
checked in the Frequency Scan List depending on local practices, for example an operator may want to
configure an SM to only register on certain frequencies to drive a known SM to AP mapping. Another
example would be an operator who configures an SM to register on many frequencies so that it may find
another AP to register to if its usual AP isn’t available.

Note: use site surveys and RF planning to choose alternate frequencies useful for each sector, and consider
testing on the alternate frequencies to ensure compatibility with the sector’s RF environment.

Installation Color Code

With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without
having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for
configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no
user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM
is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is “0”, Color Code 2-10 set to
“0” and “Disable”). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page,
and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message “SM is registered via ICC –
Bridging Disabled!” is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is
configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If an SM is registered via Installation Color
Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using
the Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page).

External Gain Field

An AP, SM, or BH needs to know the gain of its antenna to perform DFS and Auto-TPC (Automatic Transmit
Power Control) (SM only) consistent with regional or national regulations. The GUI includes an External
Gain field to support this.
Key points about the External Gain field include:
 External Gain is defined as the gain of the antenna minus the loss in the coaxial cable and
connectors.
 The External Gain is set on the Configuration => Radio page of each module (AP, SM, BHM, or
BHS)
 The default on a 5.4-GHz SM or a unit reset to factory defaults is 17 dB.
 The default on a 5.8-GHz SM or a unit reset to factory default is 17 dB
 The range is 0 to 35 dB.
 A 5.4-GHz SM or BH with an integrated antenna has an External Gain of 17 dB.
 The antenna sold with the connectorized 5.4 or 5.8 GHz AP has a gain of 18 dB and cable loss of
approximately 1 dB, giving an External Gain of 17 dB.
 A 4.9 GHz SM or BH with an integrated antenna has an External Gain of 17 dB.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 56 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

 The antenna sold with the connectorized 4.9 GHz AP has a gain of 18 dB and cable loss of
approximately 1 dB, giving an External Gain of 17 dB.
 Any radio using DFS will use the External Gain to appropriately adjust sensitivity to radar signals.
The use of DFS is determined by the Region Code setting on the Configuration => Home page.
 The Auto-TPC used by the PMP 400/430 and PTP 230 Series system takes into account the
External Gain so as not to exceed national or regional EIRP limits.

Procedure for setting the External Gain

If using a BH or SM with an integrated antenna or a connectorized AP with the
connectorized antenna sold with it, leave the External Gain on the Configuration =>
Radio page set to the factory default of 17 dB.
If using another antenna, set the External Gain to the gain of the antenna minus the loss
in coaxial cable and connectors.

IMPORTANT!
Ensure the External Gain is set correctly. Setting it low or high can lead to either
a system overly sensitive to DFS events or a system not transmitting at its full
legal power.

Network Control Parameters

Parameters for High Priority/DiffServ, NAT, DHCP, VLAN, MIR, and CIR are configured the same as they
are in standard Canopy. The operator may (or may not) want to take advantage of the higher possible MIR
to provide greater bandwidth to a given SM.

MIR, CIR, High Priority, and VLAN parameters may also be managed via an external RADIUS server.

Forward Error Correction

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series radios use FEC (Forward Error Correction) to extend the range of the
modules. They use Reed-Solomon error correction optimized at 3/4 coding. The coding rate is not settable
by the operator.

Cyclic Prefix (Configurable only on PTP 200/230 BH &

PMP 430 AP/SM)

OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the
beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/4 cyclic
prefix means that for every 4 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used, A 1/8 cyclic prefix
means that for every 8 bit of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used.

PMP 400 Series networks use a cyclic prefix of 1/4 that is not configurable by the operator.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 57 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

PMP 430 and PTP 230 Series networks use a default cyclic prefix of 1/4 that is configurable by the operator
to 1/8 or 1/16. The Cyclic Prefix is set on the Configuration => Radio page on the AP. Changing the default
from 1/4 to 1/8 can increase throughput by ~2 Mbps (assuming 75% duty cycle in PMP 430 networks) in
installations with low multipath conditions. It is recommended to test 1/8 or 1/16 cyclic prefix to determine
actual performance based on RF conditions.

PTP 200 Series modules (OFDM BHs) are settable for either 1/8 or 1/4 cyclic prefix. The use of 1/8 cyclic
prefix provides about 11% higher maximum throughput, and is recommended for backhaul operations in
most cases.
 The Cyclic Prefix is set on the Configuration => Radio page of the BHM.
 The default on a new unit or when the unit is reset to factory defaults is 1/4 Cyclic Prefix.
 In most deployments, 1/8 or 1/16 Cyclic Prefix will provide a high quality, higher throughput link. In
cases with severe multi-pathing or obstructions, 1/4 Cyclic Prefix may give better overall results.

Procedure for setting the Cyclic Prefix

Set the Cyclic Prefix on the Configuration => Radio page of both the BHM and the BHS to 1/8
before deployment.

IMPORTANT!
The Cyclic Prefix must be set the same on both the BHM and the BHS. If they
don’t match, the BHS will not register to the BHM.

During installation use Link Tests to confirm link quality per standard installation and alignment
procedures.
If a Link Test shows low throughput or efficiency, consider changing the Cyclic Prefix to 1/4 on both
the BHM and the BHS along with other standard installation troubleshooting procedures such
as re-aiming, off-axis aiming, changing location, raising or lowering the height of the radio,
adjusting Transmission Power up or down, or identifying and mitigating sources of
interference.

Chapter 5: Installation

WARNING!
Installing a unit usually involves height, electricity, and exposure to RF (Radio
Frequency) energy. To avoid personal injury, follow applicable national and local
safety regulations along with industry best practices. Also follow the specific
guidelines in this document, including Exposure Separation Distances on page
75.

Installing an AP with Connectorized Antenna

This section addresses installation aspects specific to the PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series AP.
These procedures are specific to the case of as AP purchased as a kit consisting of a connectorized
antenna and a connectorized radio. They are also generally applicable to connectorized APs, SMs, or BHs
when the antenna is purchased separately by the operator.

A short coaxial cable from the radio terminates in a male N connector. The antenna has a chassis-mounted
female N connector. The antenna includes tower mount brackets with adjustable down-tilt.

Installing an AP typically consists of four phases:

1. Configuring the AP at an operator's facility or at the installation site using the information and
settings defined previously in Planning (Section Chapter 3) and Configuring (Section Chapter
4).
2. Assembling the AP (radio and antenna and brackets) and physically installing it using
Procedure 3 for 5.8 and 5.4 GHz APs or Procedure 4 for 4.9 GHz APs, along with physically
installing a CMMmicro (for PMP 54400 AP only) or CMM4 (for either PMP 58430, 54430,
54400 or PMP 49400).
3. Cabling the AP to the CMMmicro (for PMP 54400 AP only) or CMM4 (for either PMP 58430,
54430, 54400 or PMP 49400), and grounding it to Protective Earth – PE using Procedure 5.
This phase can also include cabling to backhauls, or running terrestrial feeds.
4. Confirming operation, using SMs in the field.

Local practices and choices of installation options will dictate the actual processes. For example, variations
on these generalized procedures can be used to install on a building or install multiple APs on a pipe mount
before hoisting up a tower for final attachment.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 59 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

Procedure 3: Assembling a 5.8 or 5.4 GHz AP, and attaching to tower

1. Perform a parts check to ensure all

parts are present.

2. Assemble the upper bracket, per the

diagram that comes with the antenna.

3. Connect the radio to the antenna by

sliding it into the captive space. Secure
the radio to the antenna using the two
bolts provided.

4. Assemble the lower bracket on the

antenna assembly.
Although it may seem intuitive to attach
both brackets to the tower or pole and
then hang the antenna, it usually works
better to have the bottom bracket
already attached to the antenna before
climbing.
5. Weatherproof the connector with
waterproof wrap.

10. Adjust down tilt per calculations done

during Planning. Confirm down tilt after
the radio is operational using SMs in the
field at selected test locations.

Procedure 4: Assembling a 4.9 GHz AP, and attaching to tower

1. Perform a parts check to

ensure all parts are present.

2. Assemble unit per the

instructions that come with
the kit.

3. Connect the radio to the

antenna by sliding it into the
captive space. Secure the
radio to the antenna using the
two bolts provided.

4. Connect coax N-connector.

The center conductor of the
N-type connector is very
sensitive to electrostatic
discharge.

5. Use standard work and safety

practices for tower climbing,
and connect the upper
assembly to a pole, mounting
fixture, or the tower.

6. Adjust down tilt per previous

calculations done during
Planning. Confirm down tilt
after the radio is operational
using SMs in the field at
selected test locations.
Marking the degree of down
tilt on the bracket may be
useful for future reference.

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

Procedure 5: Cabling and Grounding/Earthing the AP

1. Standard Canopy installation practices apply, including using shielded Ethernet
cable for all infrastructure cabling, using drip loops, providing extra cable for future
use at any termination, and ensuring the tower or structure is fully grounded
(Protective Earth – PE).
2. Use dielectric grease (which is uniformly non-conducting) on all connections and in
all RJ-45 Ethernet connectors. The best practice is to use enough grease to fill the
RJ-45 female connector, and then insert the RJ-45 male connector and push the
grease further into the Canopy unit and around the RJ-45 connector. Excess grease
can be wiped over the connector area to provide some resistance to water ingress
around the connector.
3. Use a 600SS surge suppressor within 3 ft (~1 m) of the AP and ground it to known
good ground (Protective Earth - PE) on the tower or support structure with a 10
AWG ground strap.
4. A pole mount kit is available for mounting the 600SS to the tower or mast. The
mount includes a termination point for the ground strap from the 600SS.
5. Run a 10 AWG ground strap from the ground lug on the AP (see Figure 30) to
known good ground (Protective Earth - PE) to complete the grounding and
protection of the AP. The termination point on the 600SS pole mount kit may be
used for this.

Figure 30: Ground lug highlighted on AP

The PMP 400/430 AP and PTP 200 Series BH have metal-to-metal contact from the tower or support
structure, through the antenna, through the coax cable, to the radio. Installing surge suppression at the AP is
strongly recommended to provide the best protection from near lightning hits.

Install a 600SS surge suppressor within 3 ft (~1 m) of an AP or BH. A pole mount kit for the 600SS is shown
in Figure 17 to facilitate installation of the 600SS by the AP or BH.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 65 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

Up to four 600SS surge suppressors may be mounted in series on an Ethernet link without degrading the
link. The equivalent of a 600SS is built into each of the 8 ports on a CMM4 and counts as one of the four.
The CMMmicro uses a different protection scheme and does not have the equivalent of a 600SS on each
port.

As an example, a typical installation might have properly-grounded 600SS units within 3 ft of each AP and
additional properly-grounded 600SS units on each Ethernet cable mounted outside at the point of cable
entry to a telecommunications hut that contains the CMM4.

Installing an SM or BH with an Integrated Antenna

Installing an SM or BH with an integrated antenna is very similar to installing standard Canopy SMs as
described in the PMP Solutions User Guide, with the differences outlined below.

Use an SMMB2 SM mounting bracket for the PMP 54400 and 49400 SM and a SMMB1 mounting bracket
for the PMP 58430/54430 SM and PTP 58230/54230 BH. The PMP 400 Series SM or the PTP 200 Series
BH is heavier and has a higher wind load than a classic Canopy module, and so the stronger SMMB2 is
required. The SMMB2 is the mounting arm used with Canopy 900 MHz integrated APs and SMs, and used
with reflectors.

Use dielectric grease (which is uniformly non-conducting) on all connections and in all RJ-45 Ethernet
connectors. The best practice is to use enough grease to fill the RJ-45 female connector, and then insert the
RJ-45 male connector and push the grease further into the Canopy unit and around the RJ-45 connector.
Excess grease can be wiped over the connector area to provide some resistance to water ingress around
the connector.

Figure 31: Dielectric Grease – Apply to RJ45 connector

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

Figure 32: Dielectric Grease - Insert Ethernet Cable

The PMP 400 SM and PTP 200 BH have a ground/Protective Earth lug, just like the AP. Although not as
critical as in the case of the AP (where there is metal-to-metal connectivity through the coax and antenna to
ground), the lug can be used to ground the SM or BH for additional protection. In addition, a 600SS can be
used within 3 ft (1 m) of the SM or BH to provide additional protection. Especially for a BH, or in cases where
the SM is mounted high and is more exposed, or in known difficult areas for lightning, consider using these
two techniques to increase the radio’s resistance to lightning.

In all cases where Ethernet cables penetrate a building, home, or telecommunications hut, mount a properly-
grounded 600SS outside at the point of Ethernet cable building entry to protect persons and property in the
building.

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series modules do not display a jitter value. Use Receive Power Level for
aiming and then use Link Tests to confirm alignment.

The Receive Power Level is a relative, not absolute, value. The Receive Power Level on a module is
useful during installation to aid in aiming where relative values over a short period of time are of interest. The
displayed Receive Power Level is not designed to be highly accurate over time. The displayed Receive
Power Level will vary with board-level temperature and may vary from module to module even if the actual
received power is not varying. Know the limitations and use caution and judgment for any other use of
Receive Power Level. Caution is advised when using Receive Power Level for monitoring a link over time,
deciding if the link is within operating margins, deciding if a link is serviceable (link tests give a much better
indication), or comparing the link to other links.

The alignment headset will play a tone that varies in pitch (received power level), but not volume (jitter),
since PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series modules don’t calculate a jitter.

Usage of the alignment tone/headset is not supported with the PTP 230 product.

Exposure Separation Distances

To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install Canopy radios so as to provide and maintain the
minimum separation distances from all persons shown in Table 18.
Table 18: Exposure Separation Distances

Module Type Separation Distance from Persons

PMP 400/430 AP or SM or PTP 200/230 BH At least 20 cm (approx 8 in)

PMP 430 SM or PTP 230 with Reflector Dish At least 1.5 m (approx 5 ft)
PMP 430 SM or PTP 230 with LENS At least 50 cm (approx 20 in)
Canopy Module (for comparison) At least 20 cm (approx 8 in)

Section Details of Exposure Separation Distances Calculations and Power Compliance Margins and Table
19 give details and discussion of the associated calculations.

Details of Exposure Separation Distances Calculations and

Power Compliance Margins
Limits and guidelines for RF exposure come from:
 US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at http://www.fcc.gov, and the
policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as
well as the guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance in FCC OET Bulletin 65.
 Health Canada limits for the general population. See Safety Code 6 on the Health Canada web site
at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 75 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

 ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines for the general
public. See the ICNIRP web site at http://www.icnirp.de/ and Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to
Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.

The applicable power density exposure limits from the documents referenced above are
 10 W/m2 for RF energy in the 4.9, 5.4, and 5.7-GHz frequency bands.

Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
where
P .G 2

S
S = power density in W/m
P = RMS transmit power capability of the radio, in W
4 d 2 G = total Tx gain as a factor, converted from dB
d = distance from point source, in m

Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields P.G

d

The “Recommended Distances” are chosen to give significant compliance margin in all cases. They are also
chosen so that an OFDM module has the same exposure distance as a Canopy module, to simplify
communicating and heeding exposure distances in the field.

pmp-0042 (July 2013) Page 76 of 79

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Configuration and User Guide

These are conservative distances:

 They are along the beam direction (the direction of greatest energy). Exposure to the sides and
back of the module will be significantly less.
 They meet sustained exposure limits for the general population (not just short term occupational
exposure limits), with considerable margin.
 The calculated compliance distance d is overestimated because the far-field equation models the
antenna as a point source and neglects the physical dimension of the antenna.
