About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Important regulatory information
The PTP 700 product is certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not
allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated
special requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices.
Unlicensed devices must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.
The PTP 700 provides detect and avoid functionality for countries and frequency bands
requiring protection for radar systems.
Installers and users must meet all local regulatory requirements for radar detection. To meet
these requirements, users must install a license key for the correct country during
commissioning of the PTP 700. If this is not done, installers and users may be liable to civil and
criminal penalties.
Contact the Cambium helpdesk if more guidance is required.
USA and Canada specific information
Caution
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference, and
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has asked manufacturers to implement
special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600
MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate
outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz.
Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside
of FCC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection
functions that have been demonstrated to the FCC.
In order to comply with these FCC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the PTP 700 for
operation in the USA or Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys
that comply with FCC/IC rules. In particular, operation of radio channels overlapping the band
5600 MHz to 5650 MHz is not allowed and these channels are permanently barred.
In addition, other channels may also need to be barred when operating close to weather radar
installations.
To ensure compliance with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices
Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), follow
Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) on page 3-24.
Page 3
About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Other variants of the PTP 700 are available for use in the rest of the world, but these variants
are not supplied to the USA or Canada except under strict controls, when they are needed for
export and deployment outside the USA or Canada.
Renseignements specifiques aux USA et au Canada
La Commission Fédérale des Communications des Etats-Unis (FCC) a demandé aux fabricants
de mettre en œuvre des mécanismes spécifiques pour éviter d’interférer avec des systèmes
radar fonctionnant dans la bande 5600 MHz à 5650 MHz. Ces mécanismes doivent être mis en
œuvre dans tous les produits capables de fonctionner à l'extérieur dans la bande 5470 MHz à
5725 MHz.
Les fabricants doivent s'assurer que les produits de radiocommunications ne peuvent pas être
configurés pour fonctionner en dehors des règles de la FCC, en particulier, il ne doit pas être
possible de désactiver ou modifier les fonctions de protection des radars qui ont été démontrés
de la FCC.
Afin de se conformer à ces exigences de la FCC, Cambium fournit des variantes du PTP 700
exclusivement pour les Etats-Unis ou au Canada. Ces variantes sont autorisés à fonctionner
avec des clés de licence qui sont conformes aux règles de la FCC / IC. En particulier, le
fonctionnement des canaux de radio qui chevauchent la bande 5600-5650 MHz est interdite et
ces canaux sont définitivement exclus.
EU Declaration of Conformity
Hereby, Cambium Networks declares that the Cambium PTP 700 Series Wireless Ethernet
Bridge complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive
1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at:
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support/ec-doc
Application firmware
Download the latest PTP 700 Series firmware and install it in the Outdoor Units (ODUs) before
deploying the PTP 700 equipment. Instructions for installing firmware are provided in
Upgrading software image on page 7-64.
Specific expertise and training for professional installers
To ensure that the PTP 700 is installed and configured in compliance with the requirements of
Industry Canada and the FCC, installers must have the radio engineering skills and training
described in this section. This is particularly important when installing and configuring a PTP
700 system for operation in the 5.1 GHz and 5.4 GHz UNII bands.
Page 4
About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Avoidance of weather radars
The installer must be familiar with the requirements in FCC KDB 443999. Essentially, the
installer must be able to:
• Access the FCC data base of weather radar location and channel frequencies.
• Use this information to correctly configure the product (using the GUI) to avoid operation
on channels that should be barred according to the guidelines that are contained in the
KDB and explained in detail in this user guide.
External antennas
When using an external connectorized antenna (as compared to the integrated antenna in the
Conectorized+Integrated platform variant), the conducted transmit power may need to be
reduced to ensure the regulatory limit on transmitter EIRP is not exceeded. The installer must
have an understanding of how to compute the effective antenna gain from the actual antenna
gain and the feeder cable losses.
The range of permissible values for maximum antenna gain and feeder cable losses are
included in this user guide together with a sample calculation. The product GUI automatically
applies the correct conducted power limit to ensure that it is not possible for the installation to
exceed the EIRP limit, when the appropriate values for antenna gain and feeder cable losses
are entered into the GUI.
Antennas externes
Lorsque vous utilisez une version du produit sans antenne intégrée, il peut être nécessaire de
réduire la puissance d'émission pour garantir que la limite réglementaire de puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) n'est pas dépassée. L'installateur doit avoir une bonne
compréhension de la façon de calculer le gain de l'antenne de gain de l'antenne réelle et les
pertes dans les câbles de connections.
La plage de valeurs admissibles pour un gain maximal de l'antenne et des pertes de câbles de
connections sont inclus dans ce guide d'utilisation avec un exemple de calcul. L'interface
utilisateur du produit applique automatiquement la limite de puissance menée correct afin de
s'assurer qu'il ne soit pas possible pour l'installation de dépasser la limite PIRE, lorsque les
valeurs appropriées pour le gain d'antenne et les pertes de câbles d'alimentation sont entrées
dans l’interface utilisateur.
Ethernet networking skills
The installer must have the ability to configure IP addressing on a PC and to set up and control
products using a web browser interface.

About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Lightning protection
To protect outdoor radio installations from the impact of lightning strikes, the installer must be
familiar with the normal procedures for site selection, bonding and grounding. Installation
guidelines for the PTP 700 can be found in Chapter 2: System hardware and Chapter 5:
Installation.
Training
The installer needs to have basic competence in radio and IP network installation. The specific
requirements applicable to the PTP 700 should be gained by reading Chapter 5: Installation and
Chapter 6: Configuration and alignment and by performing sample set ups at base workshop
before live deployments.

Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the PTP 700 Series
Overview of the PTP 700 Series
This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants and components of the
PTP 700 series.
Purpose
Cambium PTP 700 Series Bridge products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-to-
point microwave links in licensed, unlicensed and lightly-licensed frequency bands between
4400 MHz and 5875 MHz. Users must ensure that the PTP 700 Series complies with local
operating regulations.
The PTP 700 Series
acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of the operator’s
network. In this sense, it can be treated as a virtual wired connection between two points. The
PTP 700 Series
forwards 802.3 Ethernet frames destined for the other part of the network and
filters frames it does not need to forward. The system is transparent to higher-level protocols
such as VLANs and Spanning Tree.
Key features
The PTP 700 is a high performance wireless bridge for Ethernet traffic with a maximum
throughput of 450 Mbps. It is capable of operating in line-of-sight (LOS), near-LOS and non-
LOS propagation condition. Its maximum LOS range is 200 km. The PTP 700 operates in
licensed, unlicensed and lightly-licensed frequency bands between 4400 MHz and 5875 MHz. It
has a very high spectral efficiency of 10 bps/Hz and supports a channel bandwidth of up to
45 MHz. The PTP 700 Connectorized ODU is designed for use with an external antenna. The
PTP 700 Connectorized+Integrated ODU can be used with an external antenna or with an
integrated 21 dBi flat plate antenna.
The wireless link is TDD based and supports both symmetric and asymmetric TDD
configurations.
From an Ethernet point-of-view, the PTP 700 wireless link is a transparent Layer 2 bridge. It
supports up to three Gigabit Ethernet ports. Two ports support twisted pair Gigabit Ethernet.
One of them is capable of providing power via standard 802.3at PoE to an external device such
as a video surveillance camera or a wireless access point. The third port accepts either a
twisted pair or fibre GE SFP module.
The PTP 700 Series supports an optional TDM adaptor that allows E1 or T1 telecoms circuits to
be bridged over the wireless link.
The PTP 700 Series has extensive quality of service (QoS) classification capability and supports
up to eight levels of queues. Management of the unit may be via the same interface as the
bridged traffic (in-band management) or on a separate port (out-of-band local or remote
management).
PTP 700 supports both synchronous Ethernet and operation as an IEEE 1588-2008 transparent
clock.

Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the PTP 700 Series
Typical bridge deployment
The PTP 700 is an “all outdoor” solution consisting of a wireless bridge between two sites.
Each site installation consists of a PTP 700 Connectorized outdoor unit (ODU) or a PTP 700
Connectorized+Integrated ODU, and a power injector (PSU) (Figure 1). The ODU provides the
following interfaces:
• PSU port: This provides proprietary power over Ethernet and connection to the
management and/or data networks via 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet. In the basic
configuration, this is the only Ethernet connection to the ODU.
• SFP port: This provides an optical or copper Gigabit Ethernet interface for customer data
and/or network management.
• Aux port: This provides an optional power and 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet
connection to an IEEE803.2at device such as a video camera or wireless access point.

Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the PTP 700 Series
Hardware overview
The main hardware components of the PTP 700 are as follows:
• Outdoor unit (ODU): The ODU is a self-contained transceiver unit that houses both radio
and networking electronics. The PTP 700 ODU is supplied in two configurations:
o A PTP 700 Connectorized ODU intended to work with separately mounted external
antennas.
o A PTP 700 Connectorized+Integrated ODU intended to work with either separately
mounted external antennas or with an integrated 21 dBi flat plate antenna.
• The ODU is supplied in the following regional variants:
o FCC, intended for deployment in the USA and Canada
o EU, intended for deployment in countries of the European Union or other countries
following ETSI regulations
o Rest of the World (RoW), intended for deployment in countries other than USA and EU
countries.
• Power supply unit (PSU): The PTP 650/700 AC+DC power injector powers the ODU from an
AC or DC supply.
• Antennas and antenna cabling: Connectorized ODUs require external antennas connected
using RF cable.
• PTP SYNC unit (optional): One PTP SYNC unit is needed for each link in a network with TDD
synchronization. PTP-SYNC must be used with the AC + DC Enhanced Power Injector.
• Network Indoor Unit (NIDU) (optional): The NIDU allows up to eight TDM channels (E1 or
T1) to be bridged over a PTP 700 link.
• Ethernet cabling: All configurations require a copper Ethernet Cat5e connection from the
ODU (PSU port) to the PSU. Advanced configurations may also require one or both of the
following:
o A copper or optical Ethernet connection from the ODU (SFP port) to network
terminating equipment or another device.
o A copper Ethernet Cat5e connection from the ODU (Aux port) to an auxiliary device.
• Lightning protection unit (LPU): LPUs are installed in the PSU and Aux copper drop cables
to provide transient voltage surge suppression.
• Ground cables: ODU, LPUs and outdoor copper Ethernet cables are bonded to the site
grounding system using ground cables.
For more information about these components, including interfaces, specifications and
Cambium part numbers, refer to Chapter 2: System hardware.

Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Wireless operation
This section describes how the PTP 700 wireless link is operated, including modulation modes,
power control and security.
Time division duplexing
TDD cycle
PTP 700 links operate using Time Division Duplexing (TDD). They use a TDD cycle in which the
ODUs alternately transmit and receive TDD bursts. The TDD cycle is illustrated in Figure 2. The
steps in the cycle are as follows:
1
The TDD m
aster transmits a burst to the TDD slave.
2
A delay occurs as
the master-slave burst propagates over the link.
3
The s
lave receives the burst from the master.
4
T
he slave processes the master-slave burst.
5
The slave transmits a burst to the
master.
6
A delay occurs as the
slave-master burst propagates over the link.
7
The m
aster receives the burst from the slave.
8
The m
aster transmits the next burst to the slave.
The frame duration must be long enough to allow the master to receive the complete burst in 7
before starting to transmit in 8.
TDD frame parameters
The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following:
• Channel bandwidth
• Link range
• Link optimization mode
• Link symmetry
• Offered traffic loading.
The TDD frame duration varies depending on the following:
• TDD burst duration master-slave.
• TDD burst duration slave-master.
• Link range.
The propagation delay in Step 2 is necessarily equal to the propagation delay in Step 6, and is
determined solely by the link range. There may be added delays between rx and tx on the
master and slave to minimize interference, as set up by the link planner or installer.
Page 1-6
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Figure 2
TDD cycle
Channel selection
The PTP 700 series links are capable of transmitting and receiving on the same channel or on
different channels. In other words, the slave-master direction may use a different channel from
the master-slave direction. Independent selection of transmit and receive frequencies can be
useful in planned networks or for countering interference.
When links operate in radar avoidance regions, each unit monitors its transmit channel for the
presence of radar signals. Therefore, the transmit and receive channels are always identical.

Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Link mode optimization
Link mode optimization allows the PTP 700 link to be optimized according to the type of traffic
that will be bridged. The link supports two modes, IP Traffic and TDM Traffic.
IP traffic
IP Traffic mode is optimized to provide the maximum possible link capacity. IP Traffic mode is
an appropriate choice where applications in the bridged networks provide some measure of
reliable transmission, and where very low latency is not critical. IP mode supports both fixed
and adaptive link symmetry.
TDM traffic
TDM Traffic mode is optimized to provide the lowest possible latency. TDM Traffic mode
additionally implements a more conservative approach to adaptive modulation, leading to
lower error rates in fading channels at the expense of slightly lower link capacity. TDM Traffic
mode is an appropriate choice for delay intolerant data without reliable transmission (for
example voice over IP data). TDM Traffic mode is selected automatically when TDM interfaces
are enabled.

The PTP 700 series provides eight configuration options for apportioning the available capacity
between the two link directions.
•
Symmetric –
The Master and Slave have equal capacity. The PTP 700 series achieves this
by allocating an equal Burst Duration for the Master and the Slave.
•
5:1
–
The capacity in the direction Master to Slave is five times that of the direction Slave to
Master. The PTP 700 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Master to five
times that of the Slave
•
3:1
–
The capacity in the direction Master to Slave is three times that of the direction Slave
to Master. The PTP 700 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Master to
three times that of the Slave.
Page 1-8
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
•
2:1 –
The capacity in the direction Master to Slave is twice that of the direction Slave to
Master. The PTP 700 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Master to
twice that of the Slave.
•
1:2 –
The capacity in the direction Slave to Master is twice that of the direction Master to
Slave. The PTP 700 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Slave to twice
that of the Master.
•
1:3
–
The capacity in the direction Slave to Master is three times that of the direction Master
to Slave. The PTP 700 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Slave to
three times that of the Master.
•
1:5
–
The capacity in the direction Slave to Master is five times that of the direction Master
to Slave. The PTP 700 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Slave to five
times that of the Master.
•
Adaptive –
This is only available on the Full license. The capacity allocated to a given link
direction is dependent on the offered level of network traffic in both link directions. If the
level of offered traffic in both directions is equally high or equally low, the PTP 700 will
allocate equal capacity to both directions. If however the offered level of traffic is greater in
one direction, it is allocated a greater proportion of the overall link capacity. The PTP 700
series achieves this by increasing (or decreasing) the duration of the Transmit Burst in a
given link direction as the offered level of network traffic increases (or decreases) in this
same direction. This is done independently for the two directions.
Note
The 5:1, 3:1, 2:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:5 modes are not available when TDD synchronization is
enabled, or when TDM services are enabled.
Note
Adaptive mode is not available in the following configurations:
• When link mode optimization is set to TDM Traffic (see Link mode optimization on
page 1-8).
• When TDD synchronization is enabled.
• In regions where radar avoidance is operational (see Radar avoidance on page 1-14).
• When the ODU is not on a Full license.

OFDM and channel bandwidth
The PTP 700 series transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This
wideband signal consists of many equally spaced sub-carriers. Although each sub carrier is
modulated at a low rate using conventional modulation schemes, the resultant data rate from
the sub-carriers is high. OFDM works exceptionally over a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) channel.
The channel bandwidth of the OFDM signal is configurable to one of the following values: 5,
10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 45 MHz. Higher bandwidths provide greater link capacity at the expense
of using more bandwidth. Systems configured for a narrower channel bandwidth provide
better receiver sensitivity and can also be an appropriate choice in deployments where the
amount of free spectrum is limited.
Each channel is offset in center frequency from its neighboring channel by 10 or 5 MHz.
Note
The Channel Bandwidth must be configured to the same value at both ends of the link.
Not all channel bandwidths are available in all regulatory bands.

Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Spectrum management
The spectrum management feature of the PTP 700 Series monitors the available wireless
spectrum and directs both ends of the wireless link to operate on a channel with a minimum
level of co-channel and adjacent channel interference.
Spectrum management measurements
The PTP 700 Series performs two mean signal measurements per TDD cycle, per channel. This
mean measurement represents the mean received signal power for the 40 microsecond
measurement period.
The Spectrum Management algorithm collects measurements equally from all channels in the
operating band. This process is called the Channel Availability Check (CAC). The CAC uses a
round-robin channel selection process to collect an equal amount of measurements from each
channel. The CAC measurement process is not altered by the channel barring process.
Measurements are still collected for all channels irrespective of the number of barred channels.
Measurement analysis
Spectrum Management uses statistical analysis to process the received peak and mean
measurement. The statistical analysis is based on a fixed, one minute, measurement
quantization period. Spectrum Management collects data for the specified quantization period
and only at the end of the period is the statistical analysis performed.
Statistical summary
The display of statistical measurement on the Spectrum Expert page always shows a statistical
summary of all channel measurement. The mean and percentile values displayed for each
channel are calculated over a 20 minute statistics window period. All channel decisions are
made using the values computed over the statistics window period.
Spectrum management in fixed frequency mode
The transmit and receive frequencies can be fixed in a PTP 700 wireless link. Once fixed
frequency mode is configured, the spectrum management software will not attempt to move
the wireless link to a channel with lower co-channel and adjacent-channel interference.
Therefore this mode of operation is only recommended for deployments where the installer
has a good understanding of the prevailing interference environment. Care must also be taken
to ensure that the frequency allocations at each end of the link are compatible.
Fixed frequency mode is not available in regions where radar detection is required by the
regulations.

Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Adaptive modulation
The PTP 700 series can transport data over the wireless link using a number of different
modulation modes ranging from 256QAM 0.81 to BPSK 0.63. For a given channel bandwidth
and TDD frame structure, each modulation mode transports data at a fixed rate. Also, the
receiver requires a minimum signal to noise ratio in order to successfully demodulate a given
modulation mode. Although the more complex modulations such as 256QAM 0.81 will
transport data at a much higher rate than the less complex modulation modes, the receiver
requires a much higher signal to noise ratio.
The PTP 700 series provides an adaptive modulation scheme where the receiver constantly
monitors the quality of the received signal and notifies the far end of the link of the optimum
modulation mode with which to transmit. In this way, optimum capacity is achieved at all
times. This is one of a number of features which allows the PTP 700 to operate in challenging
non-line of sight radio channels.
Note
LINKPlanner includes an estimate of mean data rate, the data rate provided by each
modulation and the percentage of time spent in each modulation mode.

Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
MIMO
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and
increase the probability that the receiver will decode a usable signal. When the effects of MIMO
are combined with those of OFDM techniques and a high link budget, there is a high
probability of a robust connection over a non-line-of-sight path.
The PTP 700 transmits two signals on the same radio frequency, one of which is vertically
polarized and the other horizontally polarized. Depending on the channel conditions, the PTP
700 will adapt between two modes of operation:
•
Dual Payload
: When the radio channel conditions allow, the PTP 700 will transmit two
different and parallel data streams, one on the vertical channel and one on the horizontal
channel. This doubles the capacity of the PTP 700.
•
Single Payload
: As the radio channel becomes more challenging, the PTP 700 has the
ability to detect this and switch to a mode which transmits the same data stream on both
vertical and horizontal channels. This provides polar diversity and is another key feature
which allows the PTP 700 to operate in challenging non- line of sight radio channels.
Lower order modulations (BPSK 0.63 up to QPSK 0.87) only operate in single payload mode.
Higher order modulations (16QAM 0.63 to 256QAM 0.81) are available in single payload mode
and dual payload mode. The switching between modes is automatically controlled by the
adaptive modulation feature described in Adaptive modulation on page 1-12.
Note
The system automatically chooses between dual and single payload to try to increase
the capacity of a link. However the user can disable the dual payload mode, forcing
the more robust option of single payload.

Dynamic spectrum optimization
The PTP 700 series uses an interference mitigation technique known as Dynamic Spectrum
Optimization (DSO). Both the Master and Slave continually monitor for interference on all
channels and then select the best frequency of operation. This is a dynamic process where the
PTP 700 can continually move channels in response to changes in interference. Two modes of
operation are available:
• First mode: the two link directions are forced to select the same frequency, determined by
the Master.
Page 1-13
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
• Second mode: the frequency of operation can be determined independently for each
direction. This mode is not permitted in radar regions.

Asymmetric DSO in non-radar regions Spectrum Management Settings on page 7-31
Radar avoidance
In regions where protection of radars is part of the local regulations, the PTP 700 must detect
interference from radar-like systems and avoid co-channel operation with these systems.
To meet this requirement, the PTP 700 implements the following features:
• The radar detection algorithm will always scan a usable channel for 60 seconds for radar
interference before making the channel an available channel.
• This compulsory channel scan will mean that there is at least 60 seconds service outage
every time radar is detected and that the installation time is extended by at least 60
seconds even if no radar is found.
• When operating on a channel, the spectrum management algorithm implements a radar
detection function which looks for impulsive interference on the operating channel. If
impulsive interference is detected, spectrum management will mark the current operating
channel as having detected radar (unavailable channel) and initiate a channel hop to an
available channel. The previous operating channel will remain in the unavailable state for
thirty minutes after the impulsive interference pulse was detected.
• After the thirty minutes have expired the channel will be returned to the usable channel
pool.
There is a secondary requirement for bands requiring radar avoidance. Regulators have
mandated that products provide a uniform loading of the spectrum across all devices. In
general, this prevents operation with fixed frequency allocations. However:
• ETSI regulations do allow frequency planning of networks (as that has the same effect of
spreading the load across the spectrum).
• The FCC does allow channels to be barred if there is actually interference on them.
Fixed frequency allocation is not recommended in radar avoidance regions, as any radar
detection would cause a system outage of at least 30 minutes.

Encryption
The PTP 700 supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The
encryption algorithm used is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit and 256-bit
key size. AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm approved by U.S. Government organizations
(and others) to protect sensitive information. The AES implementation in PTP 700 is approved
to FIPS-197. Encryption is enabled through the purchase of an upgrade.

License keys and regulatory bands
The PTP 700 license key specifies the country of operation for the ODU, and lists the regulatory
bands that are licensed by regulators in that country. If a license key provides access to more
than one regulatory band, PTP 700 provides a choice between the available bands. In each
regulatory band, PTP 700 sets the following aspects of wireless operation to comply with the
applicable regulations:
• Maximum transmit power
• Radar avoidance
• Transmit power reduction in edge channels
• Frequency range
• Channel plan
Page 1-15
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
The country of operation (and thus the supported regulatory bands) can be changed by
generating a new license key at the License Key Generator page of the Cambium web-site, and
entering the new license key using the Installation Wizard.
Caution
To avoid possible enforcement action by the country regulator, always operate links in
accordance with local regulations.

PTP networks
Using Dynamic Spectrum Optimization
The Dynamic Spectrum Optimization (DSO) feature allows a PTP 700 unit to select wireless
channels for a lower level of radio frequency (RF) interference. This approach is appropriate
where the network consists of a small number of PTP links, or where the RF interference is
predominantly from equipment belonging to other operators.
Using frequency planning
Networks will benefit from the use of fixed channel allocations if (a) the network consists of
multiple PTP links, and (b) RF interference predominantly arises from equipment in the same
network.
Frequency planning is the exercise of assigning operating channels to PTP units so as to
minimize RF interference between links. Frequency planning must consider interference from
any PTP unit to any other PTP unit in the network. Low levels of interference normally allow for
stable operation and high link capacity.
Page 1-16
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
The frequency planning task is made more straightforward by use of the following techniques:
• Using several different channels
• Separating units located on the same mast
• Using high performance (directional) external antennas
Synchronized networks
TDD synchronization can be used to relax constraints on the frequency planning of PTP
networks. Synchronization has the following benefits:
• Allows tighter frequency re-use, and thus wider channel bandwidth.
• Allows more convenient collocation of units on a single mast.
• Allows use of smaller or lower performance antennas.
• Reduces inference, resulting in use of more efficient modulation modes.
In a correctly designed synchronised network, all links are configured with the same TDD frame
duration, and the TDD frame contains guard periods longer than the propagation delay
between the most distant interfering units.
Each synchronized unit is assigned to one of two phases. A master ODU can be assigned to
either phase. A slave ODU must be assigned to a different phase from the associated master
ODU. The phase is set by suitable configuration of TDD Frame Offset.
TDD synchronization eliminates RF interference between units in the same phase. This means
that frequency planning in a synchronized network is concerned only with interference
between units in different phases. Frequency planning is still necessary, but the number of
potential interference paths to be considered is halved. Frequency planning in a synchronized
TDD network has approximately the same level of complexity as frequency planning in a
Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) network.

For information about…
Refer to…
How to plan networks Chapter 3: System planning, or contact your
Cambium distributor or re-seller.
TDD synchronization (PTP-SYNC)
Additional hardware is needed to synchronize PTP 700 links. One PTP-SYNC unit is required for
each master ODU. The PTP-SYNC unit is connected in line in the drop cable between the PSU
and the ODU, and is collocated with the PSU.
Caution
The PTP-SYNC is compatible only with the PTP 650/700 AC + DC Power Injector.
The PTP 650 AC Power Injector will not work with a PTP-SYNC, and it is likely that a
fuse will be blown in the PTP-SYNC if this is attempted.
Page 1-17
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Timing references for use with PTP-SYNC
PTP-SYNC requires an external timing reference in all but the simplest networks. Up to ten
PTP-SYNCs can be connected in a chain to share the timing signal from one timing reference.
In the majority of applications, one reference is required for each site that contains PTP 700
master ODUs.
The timing reference can be from any timing system that provides a 1 Hz signal, accurately
synchronized in frequency and phase with a network-wide master timing reference. GPS timing
receivers are a very practical way of obtaining a suitable reference. The PTP-SYNC is
compatible with the Trimble Acutime™ GG and Trimble Acutime™ Gold GPS receivers.
In simple networks where all master ODUs are at a single site, the external reference can be
omitted. In this case, one ODU acts as a reference for other collocated units.
Configuring the TDD frame
In synchronized operation, frame duration and burst duration must be configured directly in
the web-based management interface. Frame duration must be identical across all links in a
synchronized network.
The PTP Link Planner provides a capability for computing suitable frame parameters in a
synchronized network. Please refer to the Link Planner User Guide for guidance on configuring
TDD synchronization.
Link symmetry is always 1:1 in synchronized networks.
Link capacity in synchronized networks
The TDD frame duration is extended in synchronized networks to allow for the propagation
delay of the longest link in the network and to incorporate additional guard periods. These
guard periods protect against delayed interference from distant units in the same network.
The longer frame duration results in slightly lower link capacity than for an equivalent non-
synchronized link with the same channel bandwidth and modulation mode. However, TDD
synchronization also reduces interference, and this may allow operation in higher modulation
modes. The benefit of operating in a higher modulation mode normally outweighs the penalty
of the slightly longer TDD frame.

Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Ethernet bridging
This section describes how the PTP 700 processes Ethernet data, and how Ethernet ports are
allocated to the Data Service, Second Data Service, Management Service and Local
Management Service.
Ethernet ports
The PTP 700 Series ODU has three Ethernet ports:
•
Main PSU
: The Main PSU port provides a copper Ethernet interface for 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T, and accepts power from the AC+DC Enhanced Power Injector to the ODU
using a proprietary power over Ethernet (PoE) method.
•
Aux:
The Aux port provides a copper Ethernet interface for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T,
and supplies power from the ODU to external equipment using standards-based power
over Ethernet (PoE) complying with IEEE 802.3at.
•
SFP:
The SFP port is a small format pluggable receptacle accepting copper or optical plug-
in modules supplied as part of the SFP module kit.
Note
The PTP 700 provides flexible interconnection of customer data and network
management using several Ethernet ports, but it does not contain a general-purpose
Ethernet switch, and it is not possible to forward traffic between the Ethernet ports of
the same ODU.
Data and management services
The PTP 700 Series ODU supports four different types of virtual circuits providing data and
management services.
Data Service
This point-to-point transparent service carries customer’s data between one of the Ethernet
ports at the local ODU and one of the Ethernet ports at an associated remote ODU. Every link is
configured with exactly one instance of the Data Service.
The Data Service provides comprehensive Quality of Service classification with up to eight
queues.
Page 1-20
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Second Data Service
This optional point-to-point transparent service offers a second virtual circuit for customer’s
data between one of the Ethernet ports at the local ODU and one of the Ethernet ports at an
associated remote ODU. The Data Service and Second Data Service are always mapped to
different ports at an ODU. The Data traffic of the two services are distinct and are separately
bridged to the appropriate configured remote ODU port.
The Second Data Service is available only with a Full capacity license.
The Second Data Service provides a single class of service, which can be configured to match
any of the eight classes of the Data Service.
Management Service
PTP 700 provides options for In-Band and Out-of-Band network management.
The In-Band Management Service connects management systems at both ends of the link with
the embedded management agents in the ODUs, accessed using the Ethernet ports selected to
the Data Service or the Second Data Service.
The Out-of-Band Management Service connects management systems at both ends of the link
with the embedded management agents in the ODUs, accessed using dedicated Ethernet ports.
Note
Out-of-Band Management is not available when the optional Second Data Service is
enabled.
The Out-of-Band Management Service provides a single class of service, which can be
configured to match any of the eight classes of the Data Service.
Note
The PTP 700 provides flexible interconnection of customer data and network
management using several Ethernet ports, but it does not contain a general-purpose
Ethernet switch, and it is not possible to forward traffic between the Ethernet ports of
the same ODU.
Local Management Service
PTP 700 provides option for local network management.
The Local Management network is isolated from the customer data network. Management
frames are not forwarded over the wireless link. The management agents can access only
through the OOB Local ports at the respective ODUs.

Data network
Transparent Ethernet service
The PTP 700 Series provides an Ethernet service between one of the Ethernet ports at a local
ODU and one of the Ethernet ports at an associated remote ODU. The Ethernet service is based
on conventional layer two transparent bridging, and is equivalent to the Ethernet Private Line
(EPL) service defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).
The service is transparent to untagged frames, standard VLAN frames, priority-tagged frames,
provider bridged frames, Q-in-Q frames and provider backbone bridged frames. In each case,
the service preserves MAC addresses, VLAN ID, Ethernet priority and Ethernet payload in the
forwarded frame. The maximum frame size for bridged frames in the customer network is
9600 bytes.
There is no requirement for the customer data network to be connected to the same Ethernet
port at both ends of a wireless link. For example, it is possible to connect the Main PSU port to
the customer data network at one end of the link and to connect the Aux port to the customer
data network at the other end of the link.
Layer two control protocols
The Data Service in the PTP 700 Series is transparent to layer two control protocols (L2CP)
including:
• Spanning tree protocol (STP), rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP)
Page 1-22
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
• Multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP)
• Link aggregation control protocol (LACP)
• Link OAM, IEEE 802.3ah
• Port authentication, IEEE 802.1X
• Ethernet local management interface (E-LMI), ITU-T Q.933.
• Link layer discovery protocol (LLDP)
• Multiple registration protocol (MRP)
• Generic attribute registration protocol (GARP)
The PTP 700 Series does not generate or respond to any L2CP traffic.
Quality of service for bridged Ethernet traffic
The PTP 700 Series supports eight traffic queues in the
Data Service
for Ethernet frames
waiting for transmission over the wireless link. Ethernet frames are classified by inspection of
the Ethernet priority code point in the outermost VLAN tag, the Differentiated Services Code
Point (DSCP) in an IPv4 or IPv6 header including DSCP in an IPv4 or IPv6 datagrams
encapsulated in PPP and PPPoE headers, or the Traffic Class in an MPLS header.
PTP 700 provides a configurable mapping between Ethernet, IP or MPLS priority and
transmission queue, together with a simple way to restore a default mapping based on the
recommended default in IEEE 802.1Q-2005. Untagged frames, or frames with an unknown
network layer protocol, can be separately classified.
Scheduling for transmission over the wireless link is by strict priority. In other words, a frame
at the head of a given queue is transmitted only when all higher priority queues are empty.
Fragmentation
The PTP 700 Series minimizes latency and jitter for high-priority Ethernet traffic by fragmenting
Ethernet frames before transmission over the wireless link. The fragment size is selected
automatically according to channel bandwidth and modulation mode of the wireless link.
Fragments are reassembled on reception, and incomplete Ethernet frames are discarded.
Page 1-23
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Data port wireless link down alert
The PTP 700 Series provides an optional indication of failure of the wireless link by means of a
brief disconnection of the copper or optical data port allocated to the customer data network.
The Wireless link down alert can be used to trigger protection switching by Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) or Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) and other higher layer
protocols in a redundant network.
Lowest Data Modulation Mode
The PTP 700 ODU can be configured to discard Ethernet frames in the Data Service when the
modulation mode is lower than the configured Lowest Data Modulation Mode.
This feature is likely to be useful in networks that have alternate routes, for example in a ring or
mesh topology where EAPS or RSTP is used to resolve loops. In this application, Lowest Data
Modulation Mode should be set to ensure that an active link will provide at least the minimum
necessary capacity for high-priority constant bit rate traffic such as voice over IP or TDM
pseudo wire. An active link will be blocked when the capacity falls below the minimum
required, triggering a routing change in associated Ethernet switches to bring alternate links
into use.
Lowest Data Modulation Mode should normally be set to BPSK 0.63 Single in simply connected
tree networks or other topologies that do not have alternative routes.

Second Data network
Transparent Ethernet service
The PTP 700 Series provides an optional second Ethernet data service between one of the
Ethernet ports at a local ODU and one of the Ethernet ports at an associated remote ODU. The
Ethernet service is based on conventional layer two transparent bridging. The PTP 700
maintains complete separation between Ethernet traffic in the data service and the second data
service.
Page 1-24
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
The service is transparent to untagged frames, standard VLAN frames, priority-tagged frames,
provider bridged frames, Q-in-Q frames and provider backbone bridged frames. In each case,
the service preserves MAC addresses, VLAN ID, Ethernet priority and Ethernet payload in the
forwarded frame. The maximum frame size for bridged frames in the second data service is
2000 bytes.
There is no requirement for the second data service to be connected to the same Ethernet port
at both ends of a wireless link. For example, it is possible to connect the Main PSU port to the
second data service at one end of the link and to connect the Aux port to the second data
service at the other end of the link.
Layer two control protocols
The Second Data Service in the PTP 700 Series is transparent to layer two control protocols
(L2CP) including:
• Spanning tree protocol (STP), rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP)
• Multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP)
• Link aggregation control protocol (LACP)
• Link OAM, IEEE 802.3ah
• Port authentication, IEEE 802.1X
• Ethernet local management interface (E-LMI), ITU-T Q.933.
• Link layer discovery protocol (LLDP)
• Multiple registration protocol (MRP)
• Generic attribute registration protocol (GARP)
The management service in the PTP 700 Series does not generate or respond to any L2CP
traffic.
Quality of service for bridged Ethernet traffic
The PTP 700 Series supports a single traffic queue in the Second Data Service for Ethernet
frames waiting for transmission over the wireless link. The priority of the queue can be varied
with respect to the eight queues used for the data service.
Fragmentation
Ethernet frames in the PTP 700 Series Second Data Service are always fragmented for
transmission over the wireless link, even when the single queue for the Second Data Service
has higher priority than all of the data service queues.
Second Data port wireless link down alert
The PTP 700 Series provides an optional indication of failure of the wireless link by means of a
brief disconnection of the copper or optical data port allocated to the Second Data Service. The
Wireless link down alert can be used to trigger protection switching by Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP) or Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) and other higher layer protocols in a
redundant network.
Page 1-25
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Lowest Second Data Modulation Mode
The PTP 700 ODU can be configured to discard Ethernet frames in the Second Data Service
when the modulation mode is lower than the configured Lowest Second Data Modulation
Mode.
This feature is likely to be useful in networks that have alternate routes, for example in a ring or
mesh topology where EAPS or RSTP is used to resolve loops. In this application, Lowest
Second Data Modulation Mode should be set to ensure that an active link will provide at least
the minimum necessary capacity for high-priority constant bit rate traffic such as voice over IP
or TDM pseudo wire. An active link will be blocked when the capacity falls below the minimum
required, triggering a routing change in associated Ethernet switches to bring alternate links
into use.
Lowest Second Data Modulation Mode should normally be set to BPSK 0.63 Single in simply
connected tree networks or other topologies that do not have alternative routes.

Out-of-Band Management Service
Transparent Ethernet service
The PTP 700 Series provides an optional Ethernet service for out-of-band network management
between one of the Ethernet ports at a local ODU and one of the Ethernet ports at an
associated remote ODU. The Ethernet service is based on conventional layer two transparent
bridging. The PTP 700 maintains complete separation between Ethernet traffic in the customer
Data Service and the Management Service.
The service is transparent to untagged frames, standard VLAN frames, priority-tagged frames,
provider bridged frames, Q-in-Q frames and provider backbone bridged frames. In each case,
the service preserves MAC addresses, VLAN ID, Ethernet priority and Ethernet payload in the
forwarded frame. The maximum frame size for bridged frames in the management network is
2000 bytes.
There is no requirement for the management network to be connected to the same Ethernet
port at both ends of a wireless link. For example, it is possible to connect the Main PSU port to
the management network at one end of the link and to connect the Aux port to the
management network at the other end of the link.

brief disconnection of the copper or optical data port allocated to the management network.
The Wireless link down alert can be used to trigger protection switching by Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) or Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) and other higher layer

Ethernet loopback mode
PTP 700 provides a local Ethernet loopback function that can be used to loop traffic between
the Aux Port and one of the other Ethernet ports.
Loopback is intended to assist in the commissioning of a camera or other auxiliary device
collocated with the PTP 700 ODU. For example, when setting up a camera which will ultimately
be connected to the wireless bridge, it may be useful to loop the data back to a second local
interface, to assist in the positioning and alignment of the camera.
When ports are configured for Ethernet local loopback, they are temporarily disconnected from
their allocated function and connected together internally within the PTP 700 ODU. The
Management Service and Local Management Service are disconnected from a port configured
for loopback. In this case, it will not be possible to manage the ODU from a local Ethernet port.
For this reason the Ethernet loopback is always disabled when the ODU is rebooted or power-
cycled, restoring the previous port configuration and any associated management paths.
During loopback operation, the same frame size restrictions that apply to management traffic
are present, jumbo frames are not supported and the maximum frame size is restricted to
1536 bytes.
Loopback is able to loop between Ethernet ports operating at different line rates if required,
and it is possible to configure a Loopback between ports operating at 1000BASE-T/LX/SX and
100BASE-TX if needed.

Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Protocol model
Ethernet bridging behavior at each end of the wireless link is equivalent to a two-port,
managed, transparent MAC bridge where the two ports are a wired Ethernet port allocated to
the Data Service, Second Data Service, Out-of-Band Management Service, and the Wireless
port.
Frames are transmitted at the Wireless port over a proprietary point-to-point circuit-mode link
layer between ends of the PTP 700 link. The Wireless Port provides two distinct service access
ports (SAPs) where the first is always used for the Data Service, while the second is used by
either the Second Data Service or Out-of-Band Management Service.
Ethernet frames received at the Ethernet ports, or generated internally within the management
agent, are encapsulated within a lightweight MAC layer for transmission over the wireless link.
Protocol layers involved in bridging between Ethernet and wireless interfaces are shown in
Figure 3. Protocol layers involved in bridging between external interfaces and the management
agent are shown in Figure 4. In these figures, the layers have the meanings defined in IEEE
802.1Q-2005.

Synchronous Ethernet
PTP 700 provides a Synchronous Ethernet function. When enabled, the frequency and phase of
the Ethernet clock is transferred to the other end of the radio link, enabling operation as part of
an ITU-T G.781 Synchronous Digital Hierarchy.
Synchronisation Status Messages (SSM) are processed and transmitted as specified by ITU-T
G.8264 and in Section 5 of G.781.

IEEE 1588-2008 Transparent Clock
PTP 700 is capable of operating as an IEEE 1588-2008 Transparent Clock. When operational,
IEEE 1588-2008 event frames (Sync, Delay_Req, Pdelay_Req, Pdelay_Resp) have their
“Correction Field” adjusted to reflect the residence time of the frame in the system. This results
in greatly improved performance of downstream 1588-2008 slave clocks. The Transparent
Clock feature is available at the Main PSU Port and at the SFP Port when a fiber SFP module is
installed.
Unicast and multicast addressing models are supported, along with UDP over IPv4 or IPv6, and
Ethernet communication services. The IEEE 1588 messages can be encapsulated in Untagged,
C-tagged, S-tagged, S-C-tagged and C-C-tagged Ethernet frames.
Note
For the most accurate residence time corrections, use Synchronous Ethernet in
conjunction with the Transparent Clock feature. In this configuration, PTP 700 uses the
Synchronous Ethernet clock to increase the accuracy of 1588 residence time
measurements.

Chapter 1: Product description TDM bridging
TDM bridging
This section describes how TDM traffic (E1 or T1) may be carried over PTP 700 links.
If a NIDU is installed at each link end, the PTP 700 link supports up to eight E1 channels or up to
eight T1 channels. The link relays unstructured E1 or T1 data and provides accurate timing
transfer.
TDM description
PTP 700 Series bridges up to eight E1 or T1 telecoms circuits over a single-hop PTP 700
wireless link using the optional Network Indoor Unit (NIDU). The NIDU provides the eight TDM
interfaces on individual RJ45/RJ48 connectors, together with an Ethernet interface to the
operator’s data network and a separate Ethernet interface to the PTP 700 Series ODU. One
NIDU is required at each end of the link. It operates from a 48 V DC power supply.
TDM circuits established using the NIDUs are structure agnostic, meaning that the circuits can
bridge framed or unframed data.
The NIDUs are tightly integrated with associated ODUs providing for simple configuration,
accurate timing transfer, low and predictable latency, high efficiency, quick settling time, and a
timing-only mode that maintains timing transfer when the wireless link has insufficient
capacity to bridge the configured TDM data.
Through timing
TDM bridging in the PTP 700 series uses the “through timing” model. In other words, the clock
frequency used for transmitting TDM data is, on average, exactly the same as the clock
frequency received at the corresponding TDM port at the remote end of the link. The wander
and jitter in the transmit clock complies with applicable requirements of ITU-T G.823 and G.824
without additional external frequency references. Timing transfer is independent between
individual circuits, and between transmit and received directions of the same circuit.
NIDUs and TDM
TDM circuits in PTP 700 span a single wireless link. To transmit TDM data across a network
segment consisting of several wireless links, use one pair of NIDUs for each wireless link, and
interconnect the TDM ports at relay sites.
The NIDU is not a general-purpose TDM multiplexer, and will not interwork with standards-
based products from other manufacturers. The NIDU does not support (and does not need to
support) internal, external or loop timing modes. The NIDU does not accept (or need) an
external frequency reference.
The NIDU is not separately managed, and it does not have an IP address. Instead, the ODU is
used to configure and monitor the associated NIDU through the standard HTTP/HTTPS, SNMP,
SMTP and syslog interfaces already used by the ODU.
The NIDU always connects to the ODU using the Main PSU port of the ODU. This constrains
the flexible allocation of ports to services somewhat.
Page 1-33
Chapter 1: Product description TDM bridging
Timing transfer for TDM circuits
Accurate timing transfer for TDM circuits in the PTP 700 Series is based on the same
underlying technology as the IEEE 1588 Transparent Clock and Synchronous Ethernet features.
Consequently, the IEEE 588 and Synchronous Ethernet features are not available when TDM
bridging is enabled. Similarly, TDM bridging is not available if either IEEE 1588 or Sync E is in
use. The Adaptive setting for Link Symmetry is not compatible with TDM bridging.
TDM bridging is a licensed feature, and may require an optional upgrade for the ODU
firmware.
Lowest TDM modulation mode
In narrow channel bandwidths and lower modulation modes, the link may have insufficient
capacity to relay the E1/T1 payload; in this case, the wireless link continues to carry timing
information in order to maintain accurate clock synchronization. The relay of TDM data
resumes automatically when the link reaches a suitable modulation mode.
Links that are able to operate consistently in a high modulation mode can take advantage of
lower link latency. This option is configured by setting the "Lowest TDM Modulation Mode"
during installation. Appropriate settings for this control may be determined by using the
LINKPlanner tool. The reduction in latency is achieved by disabling the relay of TDM data in
lower modulation modes, and this necessarily results in somewhat lower availability for the
TDM circuit. The loss of availability can be estimated using the Link Planner.
The unit will override the user setting of Lowest TDM Modulation Mode if the selected mode
has insufficient capacity to carry the TDM data, or if the mode demands very high latency and
requires more buffering than the link can provide.
Fixed frequency operation
In the PTP 700 link, data errors may occur during channel changes on an operational link. It
may be appropriate to minimize channel-change-related errors in a link carrying TDM traffic by
preventing channel changes initiated by DSO. This can be achieved by barring all channels
except one in the Spectrum Expert page, or alternatively by selecting Fixed Frequency mode.
These steps unavoidably disable interference avoidance mechanisms, and should not be taken
if the risk of errors due to interference is more severe than the risk due to channel changes.
Fixed frequency operation is not available when radar detection requirements exist in the
frequency band. Channel barring is allowed in radar regions, but it is unwise to bar all channels
except one, as any radar signals detected on that channel will drop the link for up to 30
minutes.
Ethernet cables for TDM
The Ethernet cables from the ODU via the PSU to the NIDU must be capable of supporting
operation at 1000BASE-T. If the ODU port has negotiated a link at 100BASE-T, the NIDU will not
send or receive TDM data and will not bridge customer data traffic.

Chapter 1: Product description System management
System management
This section introduces the PTP 700 management system, including the web interface,
installation, configuration, alerts and upgrades.
Management agent
PTP 700 equipment is managed through an embedded management agent. Management
workstations, network management systems or PCs can be connected to this agent using a
choice of in-band or out-of-band network management modes. These modes are described in
detail in Network management on page 1-37.
The management agent includes a dual IPv4/IPv6 interface at the management agent. The IP
interface operates in the following modes:
• IPv4 only (default)
• IPv6 only
• Dual IPv4/IPv6
In the dual IPv4/IPv6 mode, the IP interface is configured with an IPv4 address and an IPv6
address and can operate using both IP versions concurrently. This dual mode of operation is
useful when a network is evolving from IPv4 to IPv6.
The management agent supports the following application layer protocols (regardless of the
management agent IP mode):
• Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
• HTTP over transport layer security (HTTPS/TLS)
• RADIUS authentication
• TELNET
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP)
• Simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP)
• Simple network time protocol (SNTP)
• System logging (syslog)
Note
PTP 700 supports a single public key certificate for HTTPS. This certificate must be
based on an IPv4 or IPv6 address as the Common Name. The Dual IPv4/IPv6 interface
should not normally be used when HTTPS is required.
Page 1-36
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Network management
IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces
The PTP 700 ODU contains an embedded management agent with IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
Network management communication is exclusively based on IP and associated higher layer
transport and application protocols. The default IPv4 address of the management agent is
169.254.1.1. There is no default IPv6 address. The PTP 700 does not require use of
supplementary serial interfaces.
MAC address
The management agent end-station MAC address is recorded on the enclosure and is
displayed on the Status web page. The MAC address is not configurable by the user.
VLAN membership
The management agent can be configured to transmit and receive frames of one of the
following types: untagged, priority-tagged, C-tagged (IEEE 802.1Q) or S-tagged (IEEE 802.1ad).
C-tagged and S-tagged frames must be single tagged. The VLAN ID can be 0 (priority tagged)
or in the range 1 to 4094.
Ethernet and DSCP priority
The management agent transmits IPv4 and IPv6 management packets with a configurable
DSCP value in the range 0 to 63. If the management agent is configured to operate in a
management VLAN, the Ethernet frames will be transmitted with a configurable Ethernet
priority in the range 0 to 7. The same DSCP and Ethernet priorities are assigned to all
management packets generated by the agent. Management frames are multiplexed with
customer data frames of the same priority for transmission at the wireless port.
Access to the management agent
The management agent can be reached from any Ethernet port at the local ODU that is
allocated to the Management Service or the Local Management Service.
If the wireless link is established, the management agent can also be reached from the remote
ODU via an Ethernet port that is allocated to the Management Service.
Management frames are processed by the management agent if (a) the destination MAC
address in the frame matches the ODU MAC address, and (b) the VLAN ID in the frame
matches the VLAN configuration of the management agent.
If Local Packet Filtering is enabled, unicast frames forwarded to the management agent are
filtered, that is, not forwarded in the customer data network or the management network.
MAC address and IP address of the management agent
The MAC address and IP address used by the management agent will be the same at each port
that is allocated the Management Service or Local Management Service. The management
agent does not provide the function of a dual-homed or multi-homed host. Network designers
should take care to ensure that the ODU will not be connected to more than one IP network.
Page 1-37
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Further examples of useful port allocation schemes are provided in Chapter 3: System
planning.
Source address learning
If Local Packet Filtering is enabled, the PTP 700 learns the location of end stations from the
source addresses in received management frames. The agent filters transmitted management
frames to ensure that the frame is transmitted at the appropriate Ethernet port, or over the
wireless link as required to reach the reach the correct end station. If the end station address is
unknown, then management traffic is transmitted at each of Ethernet port enabled for
management and over the wireless link.

IPv6
The PTP 700 management agent supports the following IPv6 features:
Neighbor discovery
PTP 700 supports neighbor discovery for IPv6 as specified in RFC 4861 including:
• Neighbor un-reachability detection (NUD),
• Sending and receiving of neighbor solicitation (NS) and neighbor advertisement (NA)
messages,
• Processing of redirect functionality.
PTP 700 sends router solicitations, but does not process router advertisements.
Path MTU discovery and packet size
PTP 700 supports path MTU discovery as specified in RFC 1981, and packet fragmentation and
reassembly as specified in RFC 2460 and RFC 5722.
ICMP for IPv6
PTP 700 supports ICMPv6 as specified in RFC 4443. PTP 700 does not support RFC 4884 (multi-
part messages).
Addressing
The PTP 700 management agent is compatible with the IPv6 addressing architecture specified
in RFC 4291. PTP 700 allows static configuration of the following:
• Global unicast address
• IPv6 prefix length
• IPv6 default router.
PTP 700 additionally assigns an automatically configured Link Local address using stateless
address auto-configuration (SLAAC) as specified in RFC 4862. PTP 700 does not assign a global
unicast IP address using SLAAC.
PTP 700 responds on the standard management agent interfaces (HTTP, HTTPS, syslog, Telnet,
SNMP, SMTP, SNTP) using the global unicast address.
Privacy extensions
PTP 700 does not support the privacy extensions specified in RFC 4941.
DHCPv6
PTP 700 does not support address assignment using DHCPv6. The address of the management
agent must be configured statically.
Page 1-39
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Multicast listener discovery for IPv6
The PTP 700 management agent supports Multicast Listener Discovery version 1 (MLDv1) as
specified in RFC 2710.
PTP 700 does not support Multicast Listener Discovery version 2 (MLDv2).
Textual representation of IPv6 addresses
PTP 700 allows users to input text-based IP addresses in any valid format defined in RFC 5952.
IPv6 addresses are automatically converted by PTP 700 to the preferred compressed form,
apart from those using the prefix length on the same line as the address, such as
2000::1/64
.
Security
PTP 700 does not support IP security (IPsec).

Web server
The PTP 700 management agent contains a web server. The web server supports the HTTP and
HTTPS/TLS interfaces.
Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the PTP 700 equipment from a
locally connected computer or from a network management workstation connected through a
management network, without requiring any special management software. The web-based
interfaces are the only interfaces supported for installation of PTP 700.
Web pages
The web-based management interfaces provide comprehensive web-based fault, configuration,
performance and security management functions organized into the following web-pages and
groups:
•
Home:
The Home web-page reports Wireless Link Status and basic information needed to
identify the link. The Home page additionally lists all active alarm conditions.
•
Status:
The Status web-page reports the detailed status of the PTP 700.
•

Transport layer security
The HTTPS/TLS interface provides the same set of web-pages as the HTTP interface, but allows
HTTP traffic to be encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS). PTP 700 uses AES
encryption for HTTPS/TLS. Operation of HTTPS/TLS is enabled by purchase of an optional AES
upgrade.
HTTPS/TLS requires installation of a private key and a public key certificate where the common
name of the subject in the public key certificate is the IP address or host name of the PTP 700
unit. PTP 700 supports certificates with 2048-bit key size.
HTTPS/TLS operation is configured through the web-based interfaces using the Security
Wizard.
Note
The PTP 700 has no default public key certificate, and Cambium Networks is not able
to generate private keys or public key certificates for specific network applications.
Note
PTP 700 supports a single public key certificate for HTTPS. This certificate must be
based on an IPv4 or IPv6 address as the Common Name. Any attempt to use HTTPS
without a certificate for the associated IP address will not be secure, and will trigger
browser security warnings. It follows from this that the Dual IPv4/IPv6 interface should
not normally be used when HTTPS is required.
User account management
PTP 700 allows a network operator to configure a policy for login attempts, the period of
validity of passwords and the action taken on expiry of passwords.
Identity-based user accounts
The PTP 700 web-based interface provides two methods of authenticating users:
• Role-based user authentication allows the user, on entry of a valid password, to access all
configuration capabilities and controls. This is the default method.
• Identity-based user authentication supports up to 10 users with individual usernames and
passwords.
Page 1-41
Chapter 1: Product description System management
When identity-based user accounts are enabled, a security officer can define from one to ten
user accounts, each of which may have one of the three possible roles:
• Security officer.
• System administrator.
• Read only.
Identity-based user accounts are enabled in the Local User Accounts page of the web-based
interface.
Password complexity
PTP 700 allows a network operator to enforce a configurable policy for password complexity.
Password complexity configuration additionally allows a pre-determined best practice
configuration to be set.
SNMP control of passwords
PTP 700 allows the role-based and identity-based passwords for the web-based interface to be
updated using the proprietary SNMP MIB. This capability is controlled by the SNMP Control of
Passwords, and is disabled by default. SNMP Control of Passwords is automatically and
permanently disabled in the FIPS 140-2 mode.
SNMP Control of Passwords can be used together with SNMPv3 to provide a secure means to
update passwords from a central network manager. However, password complexity rules are
not applied.

RADIUS authentication
PTP 700 supports remote authentication for users of the web interface using the Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) with one of the following authentication
methods:
• Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
• Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-CHAPv2)
PTP 700 supports connections to primary and secondary RADIUS servers. The RADIUS
interface is configured through the RADIUS Authentication page of the web-based interfaces.
PTP 700 RADIUS supports the standard Service Type attribute to indicate authentication roles
of System Administrator and Read Only together with a vendor specific attribute to indicate
authentication roles of Security Officer, System Administrator, and Read Only.
Page 1-42
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Remote authentication can be used in addition to local authentication, or can be used as a
replacement for local authentication. If remote and local authentications are used together, PTP
700 checks log in attempts against locally stored user credentials before submitting a challenge
and response for remote authentication. Remote authentication is not attempted if the
username and password match locally stored credentials, or fails against the local database.
RADIUS is only available when PTP 700 is configured for Identity-based User Accounts.

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with
or without a connection to a network time server (SNTP). It can be configured to display local
time by setting the time zone and daylight saving in the Time web page.
If an SNTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server
time at regular intervals. For secure applications, the PTP 700 can be configured to authenticate
received NTP messages using an MD5 signature.

SNMPv3 security
SNMP Engine ID
PTP 700 supports four different formats for SNMP Engine ID:
• MAC address
• IPv4 address
• Configurable text string
• IPv6 address
SNMPv3 security configuration is re-initialized when the SNMP Engine ID is changed.
User-based security model
PTP 700 supports the SNMPv3 user-based security model (USM) for up to 10 users, with MD5,
SHA-1, DES and (subject to the license key) AES protocols in the following combinations:
• No authentication, no privacy,
• MD5, no privacy,
• SHA-1, no privacy,
• MD5, DES,
• SHA-1, DES,
• MD5, AES,
• SHA-1, AES.
Use of AES privacy requires the PTP 700 AES upgrade described in AES license on page 1-48.
View-based access control model
PTP 700 supports the SNMPv3 view-based access control model (VACM) with a single context.
The context name is the empty string. The context table is read-only, and cannot be modified
by users.
Access to critical security parameters
The SNMPv3 management interface does not provide access to critical security parameters
(CSPs) of PTP 700. It is not possible to read or modify AES keys used to encrypt data
transmitted at the wireless interface. Neither is it possible to read or modify security
parameters associated with TLS protection of the web-based management interface. The
recovery mode option to zeroize CSPs does not affect SNMPv3 configuration.
MIB-based management of SNMPv3 security
PTP 700 supports a standards-based approach to configuring SNMPv3 users and views
through the SNMP MIB. This approach provides maximum flexibility in terms of defining views
and security levels appropriate for different types of user.
PTP 700 provides a default SNMPv3 configuration. This initial configuration is not secure, but it
provides the means by which a secure configuration can be created using SNMPv3.
Page 1-45
Chapter 1: Product description System management
The secure configuration should be configured in a controlled environment to prevent
disclosure of the initial security keys necessarily sent as plaintext, or sent as encrypted data
using a predictable key. The initial security information should not be configured over an
insecure network.
The default configuration is restored when any of the following occurs:
• All ODU configuration data is erased.
• All SNMP users are deleted using the SNMP management interface.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is Internet Address AND the Internet Address has been
changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is Text String AND the text string has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is MAC Address AND configuration has been restored using a
file saved from a different unit.
• SNMPv3 Security Management is changed from web-based to MIB-based.
The default user configuration is specified in SNMPv3 default configuration (MIB-based) on
page 3-55.
PTP 700 creates the initial user and template users with localized authentication and privacy
keys derived from the passphrase string 123456789. Authentication keys for the templates
users are fixed and cannot be changed. Any or all of the template users can be deleted.
The default user initial is created with a view of the entire MIB, requiring authentication for
SET operations. There is no access for template users.
Note
VACM grants access for requests sent with more than the configured security level.
The default user initial will have read/write access to the whole of the MIB. This is described
in further detail in View-based access control model on page 1-45. The template users have no
access to the MIB in the default configuration. User initial will normally be used to create one
or more additional users with secret authentication and privacy keys, and with appropriate
access to the whole of the MIB or to particular views of the MIB according to the operator’s
security policy. New users must be created by cloning template users. The user initial may
then be deleted to prevent access using the well-known user name and keys. Alternatively, the
keys associated with initial may be set to some new secret value.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security
PTP 700 supports an alternative, web-based approach for configuring SNMPv3 security. In this
case, the web-based interface allows users to specify SNMPv3 users, security levels, privacy
and authentication protocols, and passphrases. Web-based management will be effective for
many network applications, but the capabilities supported are somewhat less flexible than
those supported using the MIB-based security management.
Selection of web-based management for SNMPv3 security disables the MIB-based security
management.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security allows for two security roles:
Page 1-46
Chapter 1: Product description System management
• Read Only
• System Administrator
Read Only and System Administrator users are associated with fixed views allowing access to
the whole of the MIB, excluding the objects associated with SNMPv3 security. System
Administrators have read/write access as defined in the standard and proprietary MIBs.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security allows an operator to define the security levels
and protocols for each of the security roles; all users with the same role share a common
selection of security level and protocols.
Web-based security configuration is re-initialized when any of the following occurs:
• All ODU configuration data is erased.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is Internet Address and the Internet Address has been
changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is Text String and the text string has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is MAC Address and configuration has been restored using a
file saved from a different unit.
• SNMPv3 Security Management is changed from MIB-based to web-based.
Additionally, all SNMP user accounts are disabled when the authentication protocol, the
privacy protocol, or the security level is changed.
Downgrade of the license key
A possible lockout condition exists if a user downgrades the PTP 700 license key so as to
disable the AES capability when SNMPv3 users are configured with AES privacy and VACM is
configured to require privacy. In this case, recovery is by either (a) restoring the correct license
key, or (b) using recovery mode to rest all configuration and entering new configuration.
Option (b) will cause default users and access configuration to be re-created.

System logging (syslog)
PTP 700 supports the standard syslog protocol to log important configuration changes, status
changes and events. The protocol complies with RFC 3164.
PTP 700 creates syslog messages for configuration changes to any attribute that is accessible
via the web-based interface, or via the enterprise MIB at the SNMP interface.
PTP 700 additionally creates syslog messages for changes in any status variable displayed in
the web-based interface.
PTP 700 creates syslog messages on a number of events (for example successful and
unsuccessful attempts to log in to the web-based interface).
PTP 700 can be configured to send syslog messages to one or two standard syslog servers.
Additionally, PTP 700 logs event notification messages locally. Locally-stored event messages
survive reboot of the unit, and are overwritten only when the storage capacity is exhausted
(approximately 2000 messages). The locally stored events can be reviewed using the web-
based user interface.
Only users with Security Officer role are permitted to configure the syslog client. Users with
Security Officer, System Administrator or Read Only roles are permitted to review the locally
logged event messages.

AES license
PTP 700 provides optional encryption using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
Encryption is not available in the standard PTP 700 system.
AES upgrades are supplied as an access key purchased from your Cambium Point-to-Point
distributor or solutions provider. The access key authorizes AES operation for one ODU. Two
access keys are needed to operate AES on a link.
AES encryption may be used in the following ways:
• At the wireless port to encrypt data transmitted over the wireless link.
• At the SNMP management interface in the SNMPv3 mode.
• At the HTTPS/TLS management interface.
Two levels of encryption are available to purchase:
• 128-bit: This allows an operator to encrypt all traffic sent over the wireless link using 128-bit
encryption.
• 256-bit: This allows an operator to encrypt traffic using either 128-bit or 256-bit encryption.
Page 1-48
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Encryption must be configured with the same size key in each direction.
AES encryption at the PTP 700 wireless port is based on pre-shared keys. An identical key must
be entered at each end of the link.
AES encryption for SNMPv3 or TLS is always based on a 128-bit key, regardless of level
enabled in the PTP 700 license key.

• AES encryption keys for the wireless interface.
• Private key for the HTTPS/TLS interface.
• Entropy value for the HTTPS/TLS interface.
• User account passwords for the web-based interface.
CSPs can be reset (zeroized) along with other security-related attributes using the web-based
interface.

Software upgrade
The management agent supports application software upgrade using either the web-based
interface or the SNMP interface.
Page 1-49
Chapter 1: Product description System management
PTP 700 software images are digitally signed, and the ODU will accept only images that contain
a valid Cambium Networks digital signature. The ODU always requires a reboot to complete a
software upgrade.
Note
Obtain the application software and this user guide from the support website BEFORE
warranty expires.
Caution
ODU software version must be the same at both ends of the link. Limited operation
may sometimes be possible with dissimilar software versions, but such operation is
not supported by Cambium Networks.
Caution
Take care when upgrading ODU software using the wireless link to a remote ODU.
Upgrade the remote unit first, reboot the remote ODU, and then upgrade the local
unit to the same software version.

Capability upgrades
ODUs are shipped with a default License Key factory-installed. The default license key enables
a limited set of capabilities which depend upon the ODU variant.
Capability upgrades are purchased from Cambium and supplied as access keys. The user then
enters the access key into the PTP License Key Generator web page on the support website.
The License Key Generator creates a new license key and delivers it by email. The user then
installs the license key using the ODU web interface. License keys are bound to a single ODU
and are not transferrable.

Full capability trial period
A full capability trial period is available for PTP 700 units that are licensed for “Lite” (up to
225 Mbps) data throughput capability. This trial allows the ODU to operate with “Full”
capability (up to 450 Mbps) during a 60 day period, reverting to the Lite capability afterwards.
The trial period can be started, paused and resumed from the web interface.

Recovery mode
The PTP 700 recovery mode provides a means to recover from serious configuration errors
including lost or forgotten passwords and unknown IP addresses.
Recovery mode also allows new main application software to be loaded even when the
integrity of the existing main application software image has been compromised. The most
likely cause of an integrity problem with the installed main application software is where the
power supply has been interrupted during an earlier software upgrade.
The ODU operates in recovery mode in the following circumstances:
• When a checksum error occurs for the main application software image.
• When a power on, power off, power on cycle is applied to the ODU with the power off
period being around 5sec.
Recovery mode supports a single IPv4 interface, with IP address 169.254.1.1, and with default
link settings. Recovery mode does not support IPv6.
Note
When Recovery has been entered through a power on/off/on cycle, the ODU will revert
to normal operation if no web access has been made to the unit within 30 seconds.
This prevents the unit remaining inadvertently in recovery following a power outage.
Recovery mode options
Options in recovery mode (IPv4 only) are as follows:
• Load new main application software.
• Reset all configuration data. This option resets IP, Ethernet and security configuration
• Reset IP and Ethernet configuration.
• Reset (zeroize) critical security parameters.
• Reboot with existing software and configuration.
If recovery mode has been entered because of a checksum error, after a 30 second wait the
ODU will attempt to reboot with existing software and configuration.
The recovery software image is installed during manufacture of the ODU and cannot be
upgraded by operators.

Antennas and antenna cabling
Antenna requirements
Each connectorized ODU requires one external antenna (normally dual-polar), or if spatial
diversity is required, each ODU requires two antennas. These antennas are not supplied by
Cambium Networks.
For connectorized units operating in the USA or Canada 4.9 GHz, 5.1 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.4 GHz or
5.8 GHz bands, choose external antennas from those listed in FCC and IC approved antennas
on page 2-19. Do not install any other antennas. For links in other countries, the listed antennas
are advisory, not mandatory.
Note
To determine when to install connectorized units and to calculate their impact on link
performance and regulatory limits, see Planning for connectorized units on page 3-29.
RF cable and connectors
RF cable of generic type LMR-400 is required for connecting the ODU to the antenna. N type
male connectors are required for connecting the RF cables to the connectorized ODU. Two
connectors are required per ODU. Use weatherproof connectors, preferably ones that are
supplied with adhesive lined heat shrink sleeves that are fitted over the interface between the
cable and connector. Order CNT-400 RF cable and N type male connectors from Cambium
Networks (Table 14).

Connectorized ODUs require the following additional components:
Page 2-18
Chapter 2: System hardware Antennas and antenna cabling
• Cable grounding kits: Order one cable grounding kit for each grounding point on the
antenna cables. Refer to Lightning protection unit (LPU) and grounding kit on page 2-35 for
specifications and part numbers.
• Self-amalgamating and PVC tape: Order these items to weatherproof the RF connectors.
• Lightning arrestors: When the connectorized ODU is mounted indoors, lightning arrestors
(not PTP 700 LPUs) are required for protecting the antenna RF cables at building entry. One
arrestor is required per antenna cable. One example of a compatible lightning arrestor is
the Polyphaser LSXL-ME or LSXL (not supplied by Cambium Networks).
FCC and IC approved antennas
For connectorized units operating in the USA or Canada, choose external antennas from Table
15 (4.9 GHz), Table 16 (5.1 GHz – USA only), Table 17 (5.2 GHz), Table 18 (5.4 GHz) or Table 19

Chapter 2: System hardware Ethernet cabling
Ethernet cabling
Ethernet standards and cable lengths
All configurations require a copper Ethernet connection from the ODU (PSU port) to the PSU.
Advanced configurations may also require one or both of the following:
• A copper Ethernet connection from the ODU (Aux port) to an auxiliary device.
• An optical or copper Ethernet connection from the ODU (SFP port) to network terminating
equipment or a linked ODU.
Table 20 specifies, for each type of PSU and power supply, the maximum permitted PSU drop
cable length.
Table 21 specifies, for Aux and copper SFP interfaces, the Ethernet standards supported and
the maximum permitted drop cable lengths.
Note
For optical SFP interfaces, refer to SFP module kits on page 2-39 for details of the
Ethernet standards supported and maximum permitted cable lengths.

Outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet cable
For copper Cat5e Ethernet connections from the ODU to the PSU, LPUs and other devices, use
Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel, for example Superior Essex
type BBDGe. This is known as “drop cable” (Figure 20).
Caution
Always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel.
Alternative types of drop cable are not supported by Cambium Networks.
Order Superior Essex type BBDGe cable from Cambium Networks (Table 22). Other lengths of
this cable are available from Superior Essex.

Cable grounding kit
Copper drop cable shields must be bonded to the grounding system in order to prevent
lightning creating a potential difference between the structure and cable, which could cause
arcing, resulting in fire risk and damage to equipment. Optical cables do not require grounding.
One grounding kit (Figure 21) is required for each grounding point on the PSU, Aux and copper
SFP drop cables. Order cable grounding kits from Cambium Networks (Figure 30).
Caution
To provide adequate protection, all grounding cables must be a minimum size of 10
mm2 csa (8AWG), preferably 16 mm2 csa (6AWG), or 25 mm2 csa (4AWG).

Lightning protection unit (LPU) and grounding kit
PTP 700 LPUs provide transient voltage surge suppression for PTP 700 installations. Each PSU
or Aux drop cable requires two LPUs, one near the ODU and the other near the linked device,
usually at the building entry point (Table 24).

Page 2-35
Chapter 2: System hardware Ethernet cabling
One LPU and grounding kit (Table 24) is required for the PSU drop cable connection to the
ODU. If the ODU is to be connected to an auxiliary device, one additional LPU and grounding
kit is required for the Aux drop cable. Order the kits from Cambium Networks (Table 25).

Note
PTP 700 LPUs are not suitable for installation on SFP copper Cat5e Ethernet interfaces.
For SFP drop cables, obtain suitable surge protectors from a specialist supplier.
SFP optical Ethernet interfaces do not require surge protectors.
LPU for GPS drop cables
When a GPS receiver is the timing reference source for PTP-SYNC (optional), an LPU must be
installed near the point at which the GPS drop cable enters the building. A single LPU from the
PTP 650/700 LPU and Grounding Kit (C000065L007) (Table 24) is suitable. Alternatively, the
single LPU kit for PTP 250/300/500 (Figure 22) could be used.

RJ45 connectors and spare glands
RJ45 connectors are required for plugging Cat5e cables into ODUs, LPUs, PSUs and other
devices. Order RJ45 connectors and crimp tool from Cambium Networks (Table 27).
Note
The RJ45 connectors and crimp tool listed in Table 27 work with Superior Essex type
BBDGe cable (as supplied by Cambium Networks). They may not work with other
types of cable.
The ODU is supplied with one environmental sealing gland for the drop cable. However, this is
not suitable when surge protection is required: EMC glands must be used instead. EMC strain
relief cable glands (quantity 5) are included in the LPU and grounding kit (Figure 23). These are
identified with a black sealing nut. If extra glands are required, order them from Cambium
Networks (in packs of 10) (Table 27).
One long EMC strain relief gland (Figure 27) is included in each SFP module kit. This is longer
than the standard cable gland as it must house an SFP module plugged into the ODU.

Site planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning the proposed link end sites,
including grounding, lightning protection and equipment location for the ODU, PSU and PTP-
SYNC unit (if installed).
Grounding and lightning protection
Warning
Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The
recommendations in this guide, when followed correctly, give the user the best
protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither
implied nor possible.
Structures, equipment and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by
lightning) by conducting the surge current to ground via a separate preferential solid path. The
actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local
regulations. To adequately protect a PTP 700 installation, both ground bonding and transient
voltage surge suppression are required.
Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the international
standards IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984
or section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code.
Note
International and national standards take precedence over the requirements in this
guide.
Lightning protection zones
Use the rolling sphere method (Figure 45) to determine where it is safe to mount equipment.
An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the
sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar),
all the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection (Zone B). Similarly,
where the sphere rests on two finials, the space under the sphere is considered to be in the
zone of protection.
Page 3-11
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Figure 45
Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones
Zone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment in this zone.
Zone B: In this zone, direct EMD (lightning) effects are still possible, but mounting in this zone
significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike. Mount equipment in this zone.
Warning
Never mount equipment in Zone A. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment,
structures and life at risk.
Site grounding system
Confirm that the site has a correctly installed grounding system on a common ground ring with
access points for grounding PTP 700 equipment.
If the outdoor equipment is to be installed on the roof of a high building (Figure 38), confirm
that the following additional requirements are met:
• A grounding conductor is installed around the roof perimeter to form the main roof
perimeter lightning protection ring.
• Air terminals are installed along the length of the main roof perimeter lightning protection
ring, typically every 6.1m (20ft).
• The main roof perimeter lightning protection ring contains at least two down conductors
connected to the grounding electrode system. The down conductors should be physically
separated from one another, as far as practical.
Page 3-12
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
ODU and external antenna location
Find a location for the ODU (and external antenna for connectorized units) that meets the
following requirements:
• The equipment is high enough to achieve the best radio path.
• People can be kept a safe distance away from the equipment when it is radiating. The safe
separation distances are defined in Calculated distances on page 4-24.
• The equipment is lower than the top of the supporting structure (tower, mast or building)
or its lightning air terminal.
• If the ODU is connectorized, select a mounting position that gives it maximum protection
from the elements, but still allows easy access for connecting and weatherproofing the
cables. To minimize cable losses, select a position where the antenna cable lengths can be
minimized. If diverse or two external antennas are being deployed, it is not necessary to
mount the ODU at the midpoint of the antennas.
ODU ambient temperature limits
Select a location where the ODU can operate within safe ambient temperature limits.
The ODU must be mounted in a Restricted Access Location (as defined in EN 60950-1) if the
operating ambient temperature may exceed 40°C, including solar radiation.
If the ambient temperature never exceeds 40°C, the temperature of the external metal case
parts of the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 70°C.
If the ambient temperature never exceeds 60°C, the temperature of the external metal case
parts of the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 90°C.
Note
A restricted access location is defined (in EN 60950-1) as one where access may only
be gained by use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and access is
controlled by the authority responsible for the location. Access must only be gained by
persons who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the
location and about any precautions that must be taken. Examples of permissible
restricted access locations are a lockable equipment room or a lockable cabinet.
Page 3-13
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
ODU wind loading
Ensure that the ODU and the structure on which it is mounted are capable of withstanding the
prevalent wind speeds at a proposed PTP 700 site. Wind speed statistics should be available
from national meteorological offices.
The ODU and its mounting bracket are capable of withstanding wind speeds of up to 325 kph
(200 mph).
Wind blowing on the ODU will subject the mounting structure to significant lateral force. The
magnitude of the force depends on both wind strength and the variant of the ODU. Wind
loading is estimated using the following formulae:
• Force (in newtons) = 0.5 × ρ × V2 × A × Cd
o “ρ” is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m3,
o “V” is the wind speed in meters per second,
o “A” is the projected surface area of the ODU in square meters, and
o “Cd” is the drag coefficient = 1.385.
The drag coefficient has been measured when the cover plate or antenna is perpendicular to
the air flow.
Applying this formula to the PTP 700 ODUs at different wind speeds, the resulting wind
loadings are shown in Table 48

Hazardous locations
Check that the ODUs will not be exposed to hazardous gases, as defined by HAZLOC (USA) and

PSU DC power supply
If using the DC input on the AC+DC power injector, ensure that the DC power supply meets the
following requirements:
• The voltage and polarity must be correct and must be applied to the correct PSU terminals.
• The power source must be rated as Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV).
• The power source must be rated to supply at least 1.5A continuously.
• The power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined by
IEC/EN/UL60950-1, Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is 240VA).
Page 3-15
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
PSU location
Find a location for the AC+DC Enhanced Power Injector that meets the following requirements:
• The AC+DC Enhanced Power Injector can be mounted on a wall or other flat surface.
• The PSU is kept dry, with no possibility of condensation, flooding or rising damp.
• The PSU is located in an environment where it is not likely to exceed its operational
temperature rating, allowing for natural convection cooling.
• The PSU can be connected to the ODU drop cable and network terminating equipment.
• The PSU can be connected to a compatible power supply. AC+DC Enhanced Power Injector:
the use of DC supplies of less than 55V will reduce the usable distance between the PSU
and ODU.
PTP-SYNC location
If PTP-SYNC is to be installed, consider the following factors when selecting a site:
• Indoor location with no possibility of condensation.
• Accessibility for viewing status indicators.
• The maximum cable length between the PSU and the PTP-SYNC is 2 m (6 ft).
GPS receiver location
Mount the GPS receiver for PTP-SYNC at a location that meets the following requirements:
• It must be possible to protect the installation as described in Grounding and lightning
protection on page 3-11.
• It must have an un-interrupted view of at least half of the sky. For a receiver mounted on a
wall there must be no other significant obstructions in the view of the sky.
• It must be mounted at least 1 m (3 ft), preferably 2 m (6 ft), away from other GPS receiving
equipment.
• It must not be sited in the field of radiation of co-located radio communications equipment
and should be positioned at a distance of at least 3 m (10 ft) away.
Mount the GPS receiver on the wall of the equipment building, if there is a suitable location on
the wall that can meet these requirements. Failing that, mount it on a metal tower or mast.
Caution
The GPS receiver is not approved for operation in locations where gas hazards exist,
as defined by HAZLOC (USA) and ATEX (Europe). If PTP-SYNC is required in a
hazardous location then the timing reference source must be either a PTP 700 ODU or
a cabled 1 Hz signal from a system approved for Hazardous locations.
Page 3-16
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Mounting the GPS receiver module on the equipment building
If mounting the GPS receiver for PTP-SYNC on the equipment building (Figure 43), select a
position on the wall that meets the following requirements:
• It must be below the roof height of the equipment building or below the height of any roof-
mounted equipment (such as air conditioning plant).
• It must be below the lightning air terminals.
• It must not project more than 600mm (24 inches) from the wall of the building.
If these requirements cannot all be met, then the module must be mounted on a metal tower or
mast.
Mounting the GPS receiver module on a metal tower or mast
If mounting the GPS receiver module on a metal tower or mast (Figure 44), select a position
that meets the following requirements:
• It must not be mounted any higher than is necessary to receive an adequate signal from
four GPS satellites.
• It must be protected by a nearby lightning air terminal that projects farther out from the
tower than the GPS receiver module.
NIDU location
Find a location for the NIDU that meets the following requirements:
• The NIDU can be mounted in a cabinet rack or on a flat surface.
• The NIDU is kept dry, with no possibility of condensation, flooding or rising damp.
• The NIDU is located in an environment where it is not likely to exceed its operational
temperature rating, allowing for natural convection cooling.
• The NIDU can be connected to the PSU, LAN network terminating equipment and TDM
transceivers.
• The NIDU can be connected to a compatible DC power supply.
Drop cable grounding points
To estimate how many grounding kits are required for each drop cable, refer to the site
installation diagrams (Figure 36 , Figure 37 and Figure 38) and use the following criteria:
• The drop cable shield must be grounded near the ODU at the first point of contact between
the drop cable and the mast, tower or building.
• The drop cable shield must be grounded at the building entry point.
For mast or tower installations (Figure 36), use the following additional criteria:
• The drop cable shield must be grounded at the bottom of the tower, near the vertical to
horizontal transition point. This ground cable must
be bonded to the tower or tower ground
bus bar (TGB), if installed.
Page 3-17
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
• If the tower is greater than 61 m (200 ft) in height, the drop cable shield must be grounded
at the tower midpoint, and at additional points as necessary to reduce the distance
between ground cables to 61 m (200 ft) or less.
• In high lightning-prone geographical areas, the drop cable shield must be grounded at
spacing between 15 to 22 m (50 to 75 ft). This is especially important on towers taller than
45 m (150 ft).
For roof installations (Figure 38), use the following additional criteria:
• The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at its top entry
point (usually on the roof).
• The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at the entry point
to the equipment room.
LPU location
Find a location for the top LPU that meets the following requirements:
• There is room to mount the LPU, either on the ODU mounting bracket or on the mounting
pole below the ODU.
• The drop cable length between the ODU and top LPU must not exceed 600 mm.
• There is access to a metal grounding point to allow the ODU and top LPU to be bonded in
the following ways: top LPU to ODU; ODU to grounding system.
Find a location for the bottom LPU that meets the following requirements:
• The bottom LPU can be connected to the drop cable from the ODU.
• The bottom LPU is within 600 mm (24 in) of the point at which the drop cable enters the
building, enclosure or equipment room within a larger building.
• The bottom LPU can be bonded to the grounding system.
Multiple LPUs
If two or three drop cables are connected to the ODU, the PSU and Aux drop cables each
require their own top LPU, and the copper SFP drop cable requires a top surge protector, not a
PTP 700 LPU (Figure 46). Optical cables do not require LPUs or ground cables (Figure 47).
The copper SFP drop cable requires a bottom surge protector, not a PTP 700 LPU (Figure 48).
The Aux drop cable may require an LPU near the auxiliary device.

Regulatory limits
Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by
the PTP 700 Series. For example, in the 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands, these limits are calculated
as follows:
• In the 5.4 GHz band (5470 MHz to 5725 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 30
dBm or (17 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm.
• In the 5.8 GHz band (5725 MHz to 5875 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 36
dBm or (23 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm.
Some countries (for example the USA) impose conducted power limits on products operating
in the 5.8 GHz band.
Conforming to the limits
Ensure the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements by installing license
keys for the correct country. In the following situations, the license key does not prevent
operation outside the regulations:
• When using connectorized ODUs with external antennas, the regulations may require the
maximum transmit power to be reduced.
• When installing 5.2 GHz or 5.4 GHz links in the USA, it may be necessary to avoid
frequencies used by Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems. For more
information, refer to Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) on page 3-24.
Page 3-22
Chapter 3: System planning Radio spectrum planning
Available spectrum
The available spectrum for operation depends on the regulatory band. When configured with
the appropriate license key, the unit will only allow operation on those channels which are
permitted by the regulations.
Certain regulations have allocated certain channels as unavailable for use:
• ETSI has allocated part of the 5.4 GHz band to weather radar.
• UK and some other European countries have allocated part of the 5.8 GHz band to Road
Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) systems.
The number and identity of channels barred by the license key and regulatory band is
dependent on the channel bandwidth and channel raster selected.
Barred channels are indicated by a “No Entry” symbol displayed on the Spectrum Expert web
page (Spectrum Expert page in radar avoidance mode on page 7-37).
Channel bandwidth
Select the required channel bandwidth for the link. The selection depends upon the regulatory
band selected.
The wider the channel bandwidth, the greater the capacity. As narrower channel bandwidths
take up less spectrum, selecting a narrow channel bandwidth may be a better choice when
operating in locations where the spectrum is very busy.
Both ends of the link must be configured to operate on the same channel bandwidth.
Frequency selection
Regions without mandatory radar detection
In regions that do not mandate DFS, choose
DSO
or
Fixed Frequency
:
•
Dynamic Spectrum Optimization (DSO)
: In this mode, the unit monitors the spectrum
looking for the channel with the lowest level of interference. Statistical techniques are used
to select the most appropriate transmit and receive channels. The unit can be configured
such that it operates in DSO mode, but does not operate on selected channels. This allows
a frequency plan to be implemented in cases where multiple links are installed in close
proximity.
•
Fixed Frequency
: In this mode, the unit must be configured with a single fixed transmit
frequency and a single fixed receive frequency. These may set to the same value or to
different values. This mode should only be considered in exceptional circumstances, for
example where it is known that are no sources of interference on the selected channels.
Page 3-23
Chapter 3: System planning Radio spectrum planning
Regions with mandatory radar detection
In regions that mandate DFS, the unit first ensures that there is no radar activity on a given
channel for a period of 60 seconds before radiating on that channel. Once a channel has been
selected for operation, the unit will continually monitor for radar activity on the operating
channel. If detected, it will immediately cease radiating and attempt to find a new channel. In
DFS regions, choose
DFS
or
DFS with DSO
:
•
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
: Once a channel is selected, the unit will only attempt
to find an alternative channel if radar activity has been detected on the operating channel.
•
DFS with DSO
: In addition to switching channels on detection of radar, the unit will also
switch to a channel which has a significantly lower level of interference than the current
channel of operation. Before radiating on the newly selected channel, the unit must again
ensure that there is no radar activity on the new channel for a period of 60 seconds. This
mode therefore provides the benefit of switching to a channel with lower interference but
at the expense of an outage of approximately 60 to 120 seconds. For this reason,
the threshold for switching channels is greater than when DSO is operating in a non-radar
region.
Radar avoidance requirements in the 5.4 GHz band are defined as follows:
• For the EU: in specification EN 301-893.
• For the US: in the specification FCC part 15.407 plus the later requirements covered in
Important Regulatory Information in this User Guide.
• For Canada: in the specification RSS210 Annex 9.
Radar avoidance at 5.8 GHz is applicable to EU operation (not FCC/IC) and the requirements are
defined in EN 302 502 v1.2.1.
Avoidance of weather radars (USA only)
To comply with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the
5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), units which are installed
within 35 km (22 miles) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system (or have a line of
sight propagation path to such a system) must be configured to avoid any frequency within
+30 MHz or –30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR device. This requirement applies even if the
master is outside the 35 km (22 miles) radius but communicates with outdoor clients which
may be within the 35 km (22 miles) radius of the TDWRs. If interference is not eliminated, a
distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used. Devices with
bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation.
When planning a link in the USA, visit http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx, enter the
location of the planned link and search for TDWR radars. If a TDWR system is located within 35
km (22 miles) or has line of sight propagation to the PTP device, perform the following tasks:
• Register the installation on http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx.
• Make a list of channel center frequencies that must be barred, that is, those falling within
+30 MHz or –30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR radars.
The affected channels must be barred as described in Barring channels on page 7-39.
Page 3-24
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Link planning
This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning links, such as range,
obstacles path loss and throughput. LINKPlanner is recommended.
LINKPlanner
The Cambium LINKPlanner software and user guide may be downloaded from the support
website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1).
LINKPlanner imports path profiles and predicts data rates and reliability over the path. It allows
the system designer to try different antenna heights and RF power settings. It outputs an
installation report that defines the parameters to be used for configuration, alignment and
operation. Use the installation report to compare predicted and actual link performance.
Range and obstacles
Calculate the range of the link and identify any obstacles that may affect radio performance.
Perform a survey to identify all the obstructions (such as trees or buildings) in the path and to
assess the risk of interference. This information is necessary in order to achieve an accurate
link feasibility assessment.
The PTP 700 Series is designed to operate in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) and Line-of-Sight (LoS)
environments. An NLOS environment is one in which there is no optical line-of-sight, that is,
there are obstructions between the antennas.
The PTP 700 Series will operate at ranges from 100 m (330 ft) to 200 km (125 miles), within 3
modes: 0-40 km (0-25 miles), 0-100 km (0-62 miles) and 0-200 km (0-124 miles). Operation of the
system will depend on obstacles in the path between the units. Operation at 40 km (25 miles)
or above will require a near line-of-sight path. Operation at 100 m (330 ft) could be achieved
with one unit totally obscured from the other unit, but with the penalty of transmitting at higher
power in a non-optimal direction, thereby increasing interference in the band.
LoS links in radar regions
When planning an LoS link to operate in a radar detection region, ensure that receiver signal
level is low enough to allow the PTP 700 to detect radar signals:
• With integrated antennas, the recommended minimum LoS operating range is 110 meters
(360 ft) for 5.2 GHz or 5.4 GHz, and 185 meters (610 ft) for 5.8 GHz. Shorter operating ranges
will lead to excessive receiver signal levels.
• With higher gain connectorized antennas, ensure the predicted receiver signal level (from
LINKPlanner) is below -53 dBm (for 5.2 GHz or 5.4 GHz) or below -58 dBm (for 5.8 GHz).
Page 3-25
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
LINKPlanner for synchronized networks
TDD synchronization should be planned using LINKPlanner. This will provide the necessary
TDD frame parameter values which are required to complete a synchronized installation.
Please refer to the LINKPlanner User Guide.
Path loss
Path loss is the amount of attenuation the radio signal undergoes between the two ends of the
link. The path loss is the sum of the attenuation of the path if there were no obstacles in the
way (Free Space Path Loss), the attenuation caused by obstacles (Excess Path Loss) and a
margin to allow for possible fading of the radio signal (Fade Margin). The following calculation
needs to be performed to judge whether a particular link can be installed:

Adaptive modulation
Adaptive modulation ensures that the highest throughput that can be achieved instantaneously
will be obtained, taking account of propagation and interference. When the link has been
installed, web pages provide information about the link loss currently measured by the
equipment, both instantaneously and averaged. The averaged value will require maximum
seasonal fading to be added, and then the radio reliability of the link can be computed. For
minimum error rates on TDM links, the maximum modulation mode should be limited to
64QAM 0.75.
For details of the system threshold, output power and link loss for each frequency band in all
modulation modes for all available channel bandwidths, refer to System threshold, output
power and link loss on page 3-60.
Page 3-26
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Calculating data rate capacity
The data rate capacity of a PTP link is defined as the maximum end-to-end Ethernet throughput
(including Ethernet headers) that it can support. It is assumed that Ethernet frames are 1518
octet. Data rate capacity is determined by the following factors:
• Licensed data throughput capability (ODU license: Full or Lite)
• Link Symmetry
• Link Mode Optimization (IP or TDM)
• Modulation Mode
• Channel Bandwidth
• Link Range
• Capacity reserved for TDM operation
Calculation procedure
To calculate the data rate capacity of a PTP 700 link, proceed as follows:
1
Use the tables in
Data throughput capacity tables on page 3-71
to look up the data throughput
capacity rates (Tx, Rx and Both) for the required combination of:
•
Link Symmetry
•
Link Mode Optimization
•
Modulation Mode
•
Channel Bandwidth
•
Capacity License (Full or Lite)
2
The tables
contain data rates for links of zero range. Use the range adjustment graphs in Data
throughput capacity tables
on page 3-71 to look up the Throughput Factor that must be
applied to adjust the data rates for the actual range of the link.
3
Multiply the data rates by the Throughput Factor to give the throughput capacity of the link.
4
Subtract capacity reserved for TDM operation. See
TDM traffic load on page 3-116.
Note
The data rates for adaptive symmetry apply to the most asymmetric case where the
link has significant offered traffic in one direction only. The data rates for adaptive
symmetry with bidirectional offered traffic are the same as those for link symmetry 1:1
with link optimization IP.
Page 3-27
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Calculation example
Suppose that the link characteristics are:
• PTP 700 variant = Lite
• Link Symmetry = 1:1
• Link Mode Optimization = TDM
• Modulation Mode = 64QAM 0.92 Dual
• Channel Bandwidth = 10 MHz
• Link Range = 60 km
The calculation procedure for this example is as follows:
1
Use Table 93 to look up the data throughput capacity rates:
Tx = 21 Mbits/s
Rx = 21 Mbits/s
Aggregated = 42 Mbits/s
2
Use Figure 77 to look up the Throughput Factor for 1:1, TDM, 10 MHz, Lite and Link Range 60
km. The factor is 0.86.
3
Multiply the rates from Step 1 by the Throughput Factor from Step 2 to give the throughput
capacity of the link:
Tx = 18.1 Mbits/s
Rx = 18.1 Mbits/s
Aggregated = 36.1 Mbits/s
Page 3-28
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units
Planning for connectorized units
This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning to use connectorized
ODUs with external antennas in PTP 700 links.
When to install connectorized units
The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the integrated antenna in the
Connectorized+Integrated ODU. However the integrated antenna may not be sufficient in some
areas, for example:
• Where the path is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an NLOS link.
• Where long LOS links (>23 km or >14 miles) are required.
• Where there are known to be high levels of interference.
LINKPlanner can be used to identify these areas of marginal performance.
In these areas, connectorized external antennas should be used.
Choosing external antennas
When selecting external antennas, consider the following factors:
• The required antenna gain.
• Ease of mounting and alignment.
• Antenna polarization:
o For a simple installation process, select one dual-polarization antenna (as the integrated
antenna) at each end.
o To achieve spatial diversity, select two single-polarization antennas at each end. Spatial
diversity provides additional fade margin on very long LOS links where there is
evidence of correlation of the fading characteristics on Vertical and Horizontal
polarizations.
Note
Enter the antenna gain and cable loss into the Installation Wizard, if the country
selected has an EIRP limit, the corresponding maximum transmit power will be
calculated automatically by the unit.
Page 3-29
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units
Note
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse
pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
Calculating RF cable length (5.8 GHz FCC only)
The 5.8 GHz band FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the
ODU and antenna of not less than 1.2 dB. If cable loss is below 1.2 dB with a 1.3 m (4 ft)
diameter external antenna, the connectorized PTP 700 may exceed the maximum radiated
spurious emissions allowed under FCC 5.8 GHz rules.
Cable loss depends mainly upon cable type and length. To meet or exceed the minimum loss
of 1.2 dB, use cables of the type and length specified in Table 53 (source: Times Microwave).
This data excludes connector losses.

Configuration options for TDD synchronization
This section describes the different configuration options that may be used for implementing
TDD synchronization in the PTP 700 Series. Schematic diagrams are included.
The PTP 700 supports the following TDD synchronization configurations:
• Single link configuration with PTP-SYNC on page 3-32.
• Cluster with PTP-SYNC and GPS receiver on page 3-33.
• Cluster with PTP-SYNC and no GPS receiver on page 3-34.
Caution
The PTP-SYNC is compatible only with the PTP 650/700 AC + DC Power Injector.
The PTP 650 AC Power Injector will not work with a PTP-SYNC, and it is likely that a
fuse will be blown in the PTP-SYNC if this is attempted.
Page 3-31
Chapter 3: System planning Configuration options for TDD synchronization
Single link configuration with PTP-SYNC
Each link requires one PTP-SYNC unit connected to the master ODU and one compatible GPS
receiver. Use this configuration where a site contains only one TDD master ODU. The GPS
receiver and LPU can be replaced by an alternative compatible 1 Hz timing reference (Figure
49).

Chapter 3: System planning Configuration options for TDD synchronization
Cluster with PTP-SYNC and no GPS receiver
Each link requires one PTP-SYNC unit. PTP-SYNC units are connected together in a daisy-chain.
Between two and ten PTP-SYNCs may be chained in this way. One ODU is designated as a
cluster master. Use this configuration where all master ODUs are collocated at a single site. As
this configuration does not require a GPS receiver, it provides additional flexibility, particularly
in applications requiring rapid deployment (Figure 51).
The wireless configuration settings are:
• Master Slave Mode =

Data network planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning PTP 700 data networks.
Ethernet interfaces
The PTP 700 Ethernet ports conform to the specifications listed in Table 58.
Table 54
PTP 700 Ethernet bridging specifications
Ethernet Bridging
Specification
Protocol IEEE802.1; IEEE802.1p; IEEE802.3 compatible
QoS Eight wireless interface priority queues based on these
standards: IEEE 802.1p, IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1ah, IEEE
802.1ad, DSCP IPv4, DSCP IPv6, MPLS TC, DSCP in PPP

Practical Ethernet rates depend on network configuration and higher layer protocols. Over the
air throughput is capped to the rate of the Ethernet interface at the receiving end of the link.
Layer two control protocols
PTP 700 identifies layer two control protocols (L2CPs) from the Ethernet destination address of
bridged frames. The QoS classification can be separately configured for these protocols.

Ethernet port allocation
Port allocation rules
Decide how the three ODU Ethernet ports will be allocated to customer Data Service, Second
Data Service, Management Service and Local Management Service based on the following
rules:
• Map the
Data Service
to one of the three wired Ethernet ports.
• If required, map the optional
Second Data Service
to one of the remaining wired Ethernet
ports. If the Second Data Service is not required, select
None
. The Second Data Service is
available only in ODUs with a Full capacity license.
• If required, map the
Management Service
to one of the Ethernet ports, otherwise select
None
. The Management Service will be In-Band if it shares a port with the Data Service or
Second Data Service, otherwise it will be Out-of-Band. Out-of-Band Management is not
available when the Second Data Service is enabled.
• If required, enable the
Local Management Service
on one or more of the remaining unused
Ethernet ports.
The LAN Configuration page ensures that the Management Agent can always be reached using
either the
Management Service
or the
Local Management Service
.
Mapping of ports and services
The rules described above allow for the following twelve distinct combinations of services:

Use a compatible combination of services at both ends of the link
PTP 700 allows twelve different combinations of services at each ODU. Local Management can
be used at one end or both ends of the link independently. Allowing for optional Local
Management, the twelve combinations listed in Table 56 on page 3-36 reduce to a list of six
combinations of Data, In-Band Management, Out-of-Band Management and Second Data as
follows:

Ensure that the same service combination from Table 57 is used at both ends of the link.
Warning
Take care to avoid selecting different combinations of services at the two ends of the
link.
Mapping services to physical Ethernet ports
In general, the three physical Ethernet ports (Main PSU, Aux and SFP) are interchangeable.
Allowing for the freedom to choose the physical Ethernet ports, the six combinations in Table
57 give rise to a much larger number of different permutations (actually 63 of them).
There is no objection to mapping the services to different physical ports at the two ends of the
link, providing that the same row of Table 57 is used at each end.
For example, Figure 64 shows a link where the combination of services is from the third row of
Table 57. Local Management is provided at one end only. The Management Service maps the
Main PSU Port at one end and the Aux Port at the other end. The Data Service maps to the SFP
Port at one end of the link and to the Main PSU Port at the other end of the link.
Note
SFP will only be shown as an option when SFP Port Support is enabled via the licence
key.
Page 3-43
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Figure 64
Example of independent mapping of services to ports
Additional port allocation rules
The three Ethernet ports are generally interchangeable, except for some specific additional
rules listed below:
• If the TDM interface (E1 or T1) is enabled, ensure that only the Main PSU port is allocated
to
Data Service
• If the system is to be used in a Synchronous Ethernet hierarchy, ensure that the upstream
timing source is connected to the Main PSU port (downstream devices can be connected to
any port)
• If the system is operating as an IEEE 1588-2008 Transparent Clock, ensure the data path
traverses only the Main PSU or Fiber SFP ports at both ends of the link.
Note
The Main PSU port is always used to supply power to the ODU, even when it is not
allocated to a data or management service.
Note
The procedure for configuring these ports at the web interface is described in Ethernet
port allocation on page 3-36.
Note
Transparent Clock is not supported over the Aux Port and SFP port with Copper
connectivity.

Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
VLAN membership
Decide if the IP interface of the ODU management agent will be connected in a VLAN. If so,
decide if this is a standard (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN or provider bridged (IEEE 802.1ad) VLAN, and
select the VLAN ID for this VLAN.
Use of a separate management VLAN is strongly recommended. Use of the management VLAN
helps to ensure that the ODU management agent cannot be accessed by customers.
If the system is to operate as an IEEE 1588-2008 Transparent Clock, decide if residence time
corrections should be made to:
• All 1588 event frames, regardless of VLAN membership, or
• Only 1588 event frames in a specific customer bridged VLAN, or
• Only 1588 event frames in a specific provider bridged VLAN
Priority for management traffic
Choose the Ethernet and IP (DSCP) priority for management traffic generated within the ODU
management agent. The priority should be selected so as to be consistent with existing policy
on priority of management traffic in the network. Use of a high priority is strongly
recommended to ensure that management traffic is not discarded if the link is overloaded.
Ensure that the priority assigned to management traffic is consistent with the quality of service
scheme configured for bridged Ethernet traffic. If QoS for bridged traffic is based on the
IP/MPLS scheme, set the DSCP management priority to map to a high priority queue. If QoS for
bridged traffic is based on the Ethernet scheme, set the VLAN management priority to map to a
high priority queue.
IP interface
Select the IP version for the IP interface of the ODU management agent. PTP 700 can operate in
IPv4 mode, IPv6 mode, or in a dual IPv4/IPv6 mode. Choose one IPv4 address and/or one IPv6
address for the IP interface of the ODU management agent. The IP address or addresses must
be unique and valid for the connected network segment and VLAN.
Find out the correct subnet mask (IPv4) or prefix length (IPv6) and gateway IP address for this
network segment and VLAN.
Ensure that the design of the data network permits bidirectional routing of IP datagrams
between network management systems and the ODUs. For example, ensure that the gateway
IP address identifies a router or other gateway that provides access to the rest of the data
network.
Quality of service for bridged Ethernet traffic
Decide how quality of service will be configured in PTP 700 to minimize frame loss and latency
for high priority traffic. Wireless links often have lower data capacity than wired links or
network equipment like switches and routers, and quality of service configuration is most
critical at network bottlenecks.
Page 3-45
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
PTP 700 provides eight queues for traffic waiting for transmission over the wireless link. Q0 is
the lowest priority queue and Q7 is the highest priority queue. Traffic is scheduled using strict
priority; in other words, traffic in a given queue is transmitted when all higher-priority queues
are empty.
Layer 2 control protocols
Select the transmission queue for each of the recognised layer 2 control protocols (L2CP).
These protocols are essential to correct operation of the Ethernet network, and are normally
mapped to a high priority queue. Ethernet frames that match one of the recognized L2CPs are
not subject to the Ethernet and IP/MPLS classification described below.
Priority schemes
Select the priority scheme based on Ethernet priority or IP/MPLS priority to match QoS policy
in the rest of the data network. Ethernet priority is also known as Layer 2 or link layer priority.
IP/MPLS priority is also known as Layer 3 or network layer priority.
Ethernet priority scheme
Ethernet priority is encoded in a VLAN tag. Use the Ethernet priority scheme if the network
carries traffic in customer or service provider VLANs, and the priority in the VLAN tag has been
set to indicate the priority of each type of traffic. Select a suitable mapping from the Ethernet
priority to the eight PTP 700 queues.
An advantage of Ethernet priority is that any VLAN-tagged frame can be marked with a priority,
regardless of the higher-layer protocols contained within the frame. A disadvantage of Ethernet
priority is that the priority in the frame must be regenerated whenever traffic passes through a
router.
IP/MPLS priority scheme
IP priority is determined by the DSCP value encoded in the ToS field in IPv4 and Traffic Class in
IPv6. PTP 700 can locate the DSCP value in IP headers encapsulated within VLAN tags and/or
PPP and PPPoE headers. The DSCP field provides 64 levels of priority. PTP 700 selects a
suitable mapping from these DSCP values to the eight PTP 700 queues.
The advantages of IP priority are that priority in the IP header is normally propagated
transparently through a router, also the DSCP field supports a large number of distinct priority
code points. A disadvantage of DSCP is that frames receive a single default classification if they
contain a network layer protocol other than IPv4 or IPv6. This is controlled by the user setting
the Unknown Network Layer Protocol queue value in the same QoS Configuration page under
IP/MPLS QoS.
MPLS priority is encoded in the traffic class (TC) field in the outermost MPLS label. Select a
suitable mapping from MPLS TC to the eight PTP 700 queues.
Page 3-46
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
“Daisy-chaining” PTP 700 links
When connecting two or more PTP 700 links together in a network (daisy-chaining), do not
install direct copper Cat5e connections between the PSUs. Each PSU must be connected to the
network terminating equipment using the LAN port. To daisy-chain PTP 700 links, install each
ODU-to-ODU link using one of the following solutions:
• A copper Cat5e connection between the Aux ports of two ODUs. For details of the Ethernet
standards supported and maximum permitted cable lengths, see Ethernet standards and
cable lengths on page 2-32.
• A copper Cat5e connection between the Aux port of one ODU and the SFP port of the next
ODU (using a copper SFP module). For details of the Ethernet standards supported and
maximum permitted cable lengths, see Ethernet standards and cable lengths on page 2-32.
• Optical connections between the ODUs (SFP ports) using optical SFP modules at each
ODU. For details of the Ethernet standards supported and maximum permitted cable
lengths, see SFP module kits on page 2-39.
Green Ethernet switches
Do not connect PTP 700 units to Ethernet networking products that control the level of the
transmitted Ethernet signal based on the measured length of the Ethernet link, for example
Green Ethernet products manufactured by D-Link Corporation. The Ethernet interfaces in these
networking products do not work correctly when connected directly to the PTP 700 PSU.
Page 3-47
Chapter 3: System planning TDM network planning
TDM network planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning PTP 700 TDM networks.
Caution
If the ODU port has negotiated a link at 100BASE-T, the NIDU will not send or receive
TDM data, and will not bridge customer data traffic. Ensure that the Ethernet drop
cable between the ODU and the PSU, and the network cable between the PSU and the
NIDU, will reliably support operation at 1000BASE-T.
The PTP 700 TDM ports conform to the specifications listed in Table 58.

The supported notifications are as follows:
• Cold start
• Wireless Link Up/Down
• Channel Change
• DFS Impulse Interference
• Authentication Failure
• Main PSU Port Up Down
• Aux Port Up Down
• SFP Port Up Down
Ensure that the following MIBs are loaded on the network management system.
• RFC-1493. BRIDGE-MIB
• RFC-2233. IF-MIB
• RFC-3411. SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB
• RFC-3412. SNMP-MPD-MIB

• RFC-4293 IP-MIB
• PTP 700 Series proprietary MIB
Note
The proprietary MIBs are provided in the PTP 700 Series software download files in
the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1).
Supported diagnostic alarms
PTP 700 supports the diagnostic alarms listed in Table 167.
The web-based interface may be used to enable or disable generation of each supported SNMP
notification or diagnostic alarm.
Page 3-49
Chapter 3: System planning Network management planning
Enabling SNMP
Enable the SNMP interface for use by configuring the following attributes in the SNMP
Configuration page:
• SNMP State (default disabled)
• SNMP Version (default SNMPv1/2c)
• SNMP Port Number (default 161)
Page 3-50
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Security planning
This section describes how to plan for PTP 700 links to operate in secure mode.
Planning for SNTP operation
Note
PTP 700 does not have a battery-powered clock, so the set time is lost each time the
ODU is powered down. To avoid the need to manually set the time after each reboot,
use SNTP server synchronization.
Before starting to configure Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP):
• Identify the time zone and daylight saving requirements that apply to the system.
• If SNTP server synchronization is required, identify the details of one or two SNTP servers:
IP address, port number and server key.
• Decide whether or not to authenticate received NTP messages using an MD5 signature.
Planning for HTTPS/TLS operation
Before starting to configure HTTPS/TLS operation, ensure that the cryptographic material listed
in Table 59 is available.

Planning for SNMPv3 operation
SNMP security mode
Decide how SNMPv3 security will be configured.
MIB-based security management uses standard SNMPv3 MIBs to configure the user-based
security model and the view-based access control model. This approach provides considerable
flexibility, allowing a network operator to tailor views and security levels appropriate for
different types of user. MIB-based security management may allow a network operator to take
advantage of built-in security management capabilities of existing network managers.
Page 3-52
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Web-based security management allows an operator to configure users, security levels, privacy
and authentication protocols, and passphrases using the PTP 700 web-based management
interface. The capabilities supported are somewhat less flexible than those supported using the
MIB-based security management, but will be sufficient in many applications. Selection of web-
based management for SNMPv3 security disables the MIB-based security management. PTP
700 does not support concurrent use of MIB-based and web-based management of SNMPv3
security.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security
Initial configuration of SNMPv3 security is available only to HTTP or HTTPS/TLS user accounts
with security role of Security Officer.
Identify the minimum security role of HTTP or HTTPS/TLS user accounts that will be permitted
access for web-based management of SNMPv3 security. The following roles are available:
• System Administrator
• Security Officer
Identify the format used for SNMP Engine ID. The following formats are available:
• MAC address (default)
• IPv4 address
• Text string
• IPv6 address
If SNMP Engine ID will be based on a text string, identify the text string required by the
network management system. This is often based on some identifier that survives replacement
of the PTP hardware.
Identify the user names and security roles of initial SNMPv3 users. Two security roles are
available:
• Read Only

Identify the security level for each of the security roles. Three security levels are available: (a)
No authentication, no privacy; (b) Authentication, no privacy; (c) Authentication, privacy.
If authentication is required, identify the protocol. Two authentication protocols are available:
MD5 or SHA.
If privacy will be used, identify the protocol. Two privacy protocols are available: DES or AES
(an AES 128-bit or 256-bit capability upgrade must be purchased).
If authentication or authentication and privacy protocols are required, identify passphrases for
each protocol for each SNMP user. It is considered good practice to use different passphrases
for authentication and privacy. Passphrases must have length between 8 and 32 characters,
and may contain any of the characters listed in Table 60.

Planning for RADIUS operation
Configure RADIUS where remote authentication is required for users of the web-based
interface. Remote authentication has the following advantages:
• Control of passwords can be centralized.
• Management of user accounts can be more sophisticated. For example; users can be
prompted by a network manager to change passwords at regular intervals. As another
example, passwords can be checked for inclusion of dictionary words and phrases.
• Passwords can be updated without reconfiguring multiple network elements.
• User accounts can be disabled without reconfiguring multiple network elements.
Remote authentication has one significant disadvantage in a wireless link product such as PTP
700. If the wireless link is down, a unit on the remote side of the broken link may be prevented
from contacting a RADIUS Server, with the result that users are unable to access the web-
based interface.
One useful strategy would be to combine RADIUS authentication for normal operation with a
single locally-authenticated user account for emergency use.
PTP 700 provides a choice of the following authentication methods:
• CHAP
• MS-CHAPv2
Ensure that the authentication method selected in PTP 700 is supported by the RADIUS server.
Note
RADIUS is not permitted in FIPS 140-2 applications. Ensure that the RADIUS feature is
disabled in FIPS 140-2 approved mode.
RADIUS attributes
If the standard RADIUS attribute session-timeout (Type 27) is present in a RADIUS response,
PTP 700 sets a maximum session length for the authenticated user. If the attribute is absent,
the maximum session length is infinite.
If the standard RADIUS attribute idle-timeout (Type 28) is present in a RADIUS response, PTP
700 overrides the Auto Logout Timer with this value in the authenticated session.
If the vendor-specific RADIUS attribute auth-role is present in a RADIUS response, PTP 700
selects the role for the authenticated user according to auth-role. The supported values of auth-
role are as follows:
• 0: Invalid role. The user is not admitted.
• 1: Read Only
• 2: System Administrator
• 3: Security Officer
If the vendor-specific auth-role attribute is absent, but the standard service-type (Type 6)
attribute is present, PTP 700 selects the role for the authenticated user according to service-
type. The supported values of service-type are as follows:
Page 3-57
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
• Login(1): Read Only
• Administrative(6): System Administrator
• NAS Prompt(7): Read Only
If the auth-role and service-type attributes are absent, PTP 700 selects the Read Only role.
The auth-role vendor-specific attribute is defined in Table 64.

Planning for FIPS 140-2 operation
If the link is to operate in FIPS 140-2 secure mode, ensure that the following cryptographic
material is generated using a FIPS-approved cryptographic generator:
• Key of Keys
• TLS Private Key and Public Certificates
• Entropy Input
• Wireless Link Encryption Key for AES
Ensure that the web browsers used are enabled for HTTPS/TLS operation using FIPS-approved
cipher specifications.
Ensure that following attributes of user accounts for the web-based management interface
have been configured to match the operator’s network security policy:
• Auto Logout Period.
• Maximum Number of Login Attempts.
• Login Attempt Lockout.
• Minimum Password Change Period.
• Password Expiry Period.
• Webpage Session Control
Ensure that the following are configured:
• Password complexity rules reset to best practice values.
• User account passwords compliant with the network security policy.
Page 3-58
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
• RADIUS authentication disabled.
Caution
Configure all of the above correctly to ensure that PTP 600 is operating in compliance
with the FIPS 140-2 validation.

TDM traffic load
Encapsulated data
The NIDU supports separate management and TDM data protocol interfaces. The management
interface is between the NIDU and a directly-connected ODU. The TDM data interface is
between peer NIDUs. The ODU does not interact with the TDM data protocol, except in as
much as it provides a separate high priority queue for encapsulated TDM data at the wireless
interface.
The resulting traffic load for encapsulated TDM data is shown in Table 98.

Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• Council recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public
to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz) (1999/519/EC) and respective national
regulations.
• Directive 2004/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the
minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks
arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) (18th individual Directive within the
meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC).
• 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.
• Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at

Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.
Power density exposure limit
Install the radios for the PTP 700 family of PTP wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain
the minimum separation distances from all persons.
The applicable power density exposure limit for RF energy between 4400 MHz and 5875 MHz is
10 W/m2
.
Page 4-23
Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Compliance with safety standards
Calculation of power density
The following calculation is based on the ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991 method, as that provides a
worst case analysis. Details of the assessment to EN50383:2002 can be provided, if required.
Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
=
42
Where:
• S is the power density in W/m2
• P is the average transmit power capability of the radio in W, equal to the configured
maximum transmitter power as a linear number, multiplied by 0.8 to account for the worst
case transmit/receive ratio
• G is the effective antenna gain, including cable losses, expressed as a linear number (not in
dBi)
• d is the distance from the antenna
Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields:
=�
4
Calculated distances
Table 102 shows calculated minimum separation distances each frequency band and for the
highest gain antenna of each type, assuming that the equipment is operating at the maximum
transmit power for PTP 700. At these and greater separation distances, the power density from
the RF field is below generally accepted limits for the general population.
Calcul des distances pour la conformité aux limites de radiation
radiofréquence
La Table 102 indique les distances minimales de séparation calculées, les distances
recommandées et les marges de sécurité qui en découlent pour chaque bande de fréquence et
chaque antenne. À ces distance et des distance supérieures, la densité de puissance du champ
de radiofréquence est inférieur aux limites généralement admises pour la population.

Minimum separation distances for other transmitter powers and
antenna gains
The minimum separation distances can be calculated for any transmit power or antenna gain
using the formula provided in Calculation of power density on page 4-24.
In many deployments, the antenna gains will be lower than the maximum listed in Table 102
and the transmitter power will be reduced to comply with applicable regulations; in such cases,
the minimum separation distances will be significantly reduced compared with the results in
Table 102.

Note
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Remarque
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse
pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
