Compliance
General
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola could void the user’s authority to
operate the system.
NOTE: This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means
that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to comply. The
frequency bands in which the system operates may be ‘unlicensed’ and, in these bands, the system
can be used provided it does not cause interference. Further, it is not guaranteed protection against
interference from other products and installations.
The system has been tested for compliance to both US (FCC) and European (ETSI) specifications. It
has been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules in the USA and appropriate European ENs. These limits have
been designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. However the equipment
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to other radio communications. There is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
NOTE: A Class B Digital Device is a device that is marketed for use in a residential environment,
notwithstanding use in commercial, business and industrial environments.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
Increase the separation between the affected equipment and ODU.
Connect the ODU/PIDU into a power outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult your installer or supplier for help.
Deployment and Operation
The Radio Regulations of various countries’ limits constrain the operation of radio products generally.
In particular the local regulator may limit the amount of conducted or radiated transmitter power and
may require registration of the radio link.
The power transmitted by the PTP 600 Series Bridge is controlled by the use of Region-specific
License Keys.
The following examples show how the regulatory limits apply in some specific countries at the current
time. Operators should note that regulations are subject to change.
Contact your supplier/installer to ensure that your product is set for the correct License Key for your
Country/Region and to ensure that you have fulfilled all the local regulatory requirements, especially if
you are intending to use a link with external antennas. Footnotes to the table below indicate countries
where registration of the link is currently mandatory.
The system has been tested for compliance to both US (FCC) and European (ETSI) specifications. It
has been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules in the USA and appropriate European ENs. These limits have
been designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. However the equipment
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to other radio communications. There is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
CAUTION: When planning a link that will use Connectorized PTP 600 Series bridges (with
external antennas), ensure that regulatory requirements are met for the installation, as
described in Section 13.6 “Regulatory Issues with Connectorized Units”.

2 Avoiding Hazards
2.1
Preventing Overexposure to RF Energy
WARNING: To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install the radios for the 600 family
of PTP wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances
from all persons as shown in Table 3.
When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF
fields are present when the transmitter is on. The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must not be deployed
in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the
antenna.
At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below
generally accepted limits for the general population.
NOTE: These are conservative distances that include compliance margins.
2.1.1
Calculations for Separation Distances and Power Compliance Margins
Limits and guidelines for RF exposure come from:
US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at http://www.fcc.gov,
and the policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, as well as the guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance in FCC
OET Bulletin 65.
Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/99ehd-dhm237/limits-limites_e.html and
Safety Code 6.
EN 50383:2002 Basic standard for the calculation and measurement of electromagnetic
field strength and SAR related to human exposure from radio base stations and fixed
terminal stations for wireless telecommunication systems (110 MHz - 40 GHz).
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines for
the general public. See the ICNIRP web site at http://www.icnirp.de/ and Guidelines for
Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.
31
2 Avoiding Hazards
The applicable power density exposure limit from the documents referenced above is:
10 W/m2 for RF energy in the 2.4-, 5.2-, 5.4-, 5.8- and 5.9 GHz frequency bands.
Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:

NOTES:
The regulations require that the power used for the calculations is the maximum power in
the transmit burst subject to allowance for source-based time-averaging.
At 5.4 GHz and EU 5.8 GHz, the products are generally limited to a fixed EIRP which can
be achieved with the Integrated Antenna. The calculations above assume that the
maximum EIRP allowed by the regulations is being transmitted.
If there are no EIRP limits in the country of deployment, use the distance calculations for
FCC 5.8 GHz for all frequency bands.
At FCC 5.8 GHz, for antennas between 0.6m (2ft) and 1.8m (6ft), alter the distance
proportionally to the antenna gain.
At 2.5 GHz, for antennas between 1.2m (4ft) and 3.6m (12ft) the safe distance is
increased to between 0.8m (2.6 ft) and 2.4m (7.8 ft).

Product Description
This User Manual is specifically written for the 600 family of point-to-point broadband wireless
solutions. The PTP 600 Series Bridge has been developed to provide Point-to-Point data
connectivity via a 2.5 GHz, 4.5 GHz, 4.8 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz or 5.9 GHz
wireless Ethernet bridge operating at broadband data rates. The PTP 600 Series Bridge is
aimed at a wide range of applications. An example application is an enterprise that has a
requirement to connect together the Local Area Network (LAN) of two or more buildings as
shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Typical PTP 600 Series Bridge Deployment
The PTP 600 Series Bridge offers true non-line-of-sight (NLOS) operation by using a
combination of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation and MultipleInput Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques. These technologies enable the PTP 600 Series
Bridge to drive through foliage and around buildings to such an extent that almost universal
coverage can be expected at short range.
A PTP 600 Series Bridge system consists of a pair of identical devices that are deployed one
at each end of the link. At installation, the user sets up one unit as the Master and the other
as the Slave. Either unit can be configured as Master or Slave.
36
3 Getting Started
Each end of the link consists of:
An integrated (or connectorized -see section 13) outdoor transceiver unit containing all
the radio and networking electronics hereafter referred to as the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
An indoor connection box containing a mains power supply, status indicators and network
connection port. Hereafter referred to as the Power Indoor Unit Plus (PIDU Plus).
A pair of units is normally supplied pre-configured as a link.
The network connection to a PTP 600 Series Bridge is made via a 1000BaseT Ethernet
connection. Power is provided to the ODU over the 1000BaseT Ethernet connection using a
patented non-standard powering technique.
Previous releases of the PTP 600 Series Bridge platform used different powering and
connection arrangements. Users of equipment prior to “Mod Record 1” should refer to the
User Guide shipped with the original equipment. The “Mod Record” label can be found on the
back of the ODU as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 - Mod Record Label
Alternatively, the network connection to a PTP 600 Series Bridge can be made using a
1000BaseSX Fiber Optic cable connected directly to the ODU. In this case power is still
provided over the 1000BaseT Ethernet connection. In the case of Fiber Optic cable failure the
PTP 600 Series Bridge will automatically fall back to the copper Ethernet connection
(provided the cable length <=100m [330 ft]). “PTP 600 Series Optical Interface Upgrade Kits”
can be obtained from your distributor, reseller or system integrator.
Power is fed into the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus from the mains via a standard “figure
of eight” mains plug. Connection between the ODU and PIDU Plus is made using standard
CAT5e outdoor UV resistant cable. Connection between the PIDU Plus and the Network
Equipment is made using standard CAT5e cable.
37
3 Getting Started
3.3.1
The Outdoor Unit (ODU)
The ODU is a self-contained unit. It houses both radio and networking electronics. The ODU
for the PTP 600 Series Bridge should only be deployed using the supplied PTP 600 Series
Bridge PIDU Plus. Figure 3 shows an installation example of a PTP 600 Series ODU with a
Motorola lightning protection unit (PTP-LPU).
Figure 3 – PTP 600 Series Bridge Outdoor Unit (ODU) with PTP-LPU
38
3 Getting Started
3.3.2
PIDU Plus – PTP 600 Series Bridge
The PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus is used to generate the ODU supply voltage from the
mains supply and inject this supply voltage into the 1000BaseT Ethernet connection to the
ODU. Connection uses a CAT5e cable using standard RJ45 wiring.
CAUTION: Care should be taken not to connect equipment other than an ODU for the PTP
600 Series Bridge to a PIDU Plus ODU port as equipment damage may occur. The PTP 600
Series Bridge PIDU Plus is not interchangeable with the PTP 400 Series PIDU Plus.
Figure 4 - Power Indoor Unit (PIDU Plus) – PTP 300/500/600 Series
The front panel contains indicators showing the status of the power and Ethernet
connections.
The power indicator is illuminated when the PIDU Plus is receiving mains power.
The Ethernet indicator normally illuminates when the Ethernet link is working, flashing when
there is Ethernet activity. The fact that it lights also indicates that the ODU is powered. At
power up the LED will flash 10 times to indicate that a correct start up sequence has
occurred. See Section 11 “Fault Finding” for further fault finding information.
At the bottom of the PIDU Plus is an entry point for the PIDU Plus to ODU cable, the
1000BaseT Ethernet network port and the Recovery switch.
Figure 5 – PIDU Plus Recovery Switch Location
39
3 Getting Started
The Recovery switch is used to recover the unit from configuration errors or software image
corruption. To put a PTP 600 Series Bridge into Recovery mode the Recovery switch should
be pressed then the power applied. The Recovery switch should be kept pressed for at least
20 seconds after the power has been applied. Full instruction on the recovery mode can be
found in Section 9 “Recovery Mode”.
A simple reboot can be performed by removing and re-applying the mains power to the PTP
600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus.
On the left hand side of the PIDU Plus, 48V DC input and output connections can be found.
These are used to power the PTP 600 Series Bridge from an external DC source or to
provide a level of power supply redundancy, as shown in Section 3.3.3 “Redundancy and
Alternative Powering Configurations”.
WARNING: When using alternative DC supplies the supply MUST comply with the following
requirements:
The voltage and polarity is correct and is applied to the correct terminals in the PIDU Plus
The power source is rated as SELV
The power source is rated to supply at least 1A continuously
The power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined by
IEC/EN/UL6090, Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is 240VA)
Also on the left hand side of the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus, connectors and jumpers
can be found that allow the remote connection of power LED, Ethernet LED and Recovery
switch. The connection instructions can be found in Section 3.3.4 “Remote LEDs and
Recovery Switch”.
The input supply range for the 600 Series PIDU Plus is 90V-264V AC, 47-63Hz. Mains
connection to the PIDU Plus is made using a standard “figure of eight” mains lead as shown
in Figure 6.

Redundancy and Alternative Powering Configurations
NOTE: The use of DC supplies of less than 55v will reduce the usable distance between the
PIDU Plus and ODU see Figure 7.
Figure 7 – PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus to ODU Cable Length Graph
CAUTION: The maximum distance from the ODU to the connected network equipment is
100m (330 ft) when using 1000BaseT. Powering distances over 100m (330 ft) are only
applicable when using a 1000BaseSX (Fiber Optic) connection.

Remote LEDs and Recovery Switch
The PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus provides a facility to connect remote LEDs and
Recovery switch allowing the PIDU Plus to be mounted inside an enclosure. At the left hand
end of the PIDU Plus under the ODU connection cover can be found a PCB header and three

Cables and connectors
The cable used to connect the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus to the ODU can be any
standard CAT5e type provided that it is suitable for outdoor deployment. Motorola
recommends that cables to the specification below be used:
Cable:
Superior Essex BBDGE CAT 5e
Connector Type:
Tyco, 5-569278
Gland:
Motorola WB1811
CAUTION: Failure to use the recommended (or equivalent) standard of cable may invalidate
the system’s safety certification.
The cable used to connect the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus to the users Network
Equipment can be any standard CAT5e Cable.
43
3 Getting Started
The PIDU Plus to ODU and the PIDU Plus to Network Equipment cables may be unscreened
(UTP) or screened (STP). However, unscreened cables reduce the system’s ability to cope
with nearby lightning strikes. If lightning activity is common in the area of deployment, the use
of screened cable is highly recommended. See Section 10 “Lightning Protection”.
The PIDU Plus provides screen continuity between the ODU and Network Equipment
connections.
NOTE: The ODU network connection implements automatic MDI/MDI-X sensing and pair
swapping allowing connection to networking equipment that require cross-over cables (MDI-X
networks) or straight-through cables (MDI Networks).
3.3.6
PTP and Lightning Protection
The PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus meets the low level static discharge specifications
identified in Section 20 “Specifications”, but does not provide lightning or surge suppression.
Installations will generally require lightning or surge suppression, a separate Ethernet surge
suppressor must be used and appropriately earthed. Suitable surge suppressors can be
sourced from your Motorola Point-to-Point Distributor or Solutions Provider. See Section 10
“Lightning Protection”.
3.3.7
Mounting Brackets
The PTP 600 Series Bridge is supplied with a mounting bracket suitable for mounting the
ODU to a pole of 50mm (2”) to 75mm (3”) in diameter. For more details on mounting, see
Section 7 “Installation”.
The bracket allows for adjustment in both azimuth and elevation. The bracket may be split
allowing the pole mount section of the bracket to be mounted to the pole first. This allows the
installer to take the weight of the unit and secure it, one handed, with a single mounting bolt.
The PIDU Plus can either be desk or wall mounted. The preference is wall mounted with the
cables dressed to a cable channel. Wall mounting is achieved by screwing through the
mounting lugs on either side of the unit. Remember to leave space for access to the
Recovery button. See Section 3.3.2 “PIDU Plus – PTP 600 Series Bridge”.

3 Getting Started
3.3.8
Configuration and Management
Configuration and Management of the PTP 600 Series Bridge is implemented using an inbuilt
web server hosting a number of Configuration and Management web pages. This approach
allows Configuration and Management to be carried out on any standard web browsing
technology. The PTP 600 Series Bridge can also be managed remotely using the SNMP
management protocol. Connection to the bridge is via the Ethernet connection carrying the
bridge network traffic. Connection to the unit is via a preset IP address. This address can be
changed via the Network Interface Configuration web page. A full explanation of the available
web pages and their use can be found in Section 8 “Web Page Reference”.
3.4

4.1
Radio Link
The PTP 600 Series Bridge consists of an identical pair of units deployed one at each end of
the link. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time
Division Duplex (TDD). One unit is deployed as a master and the other as a slave. The
master unit takes responsibility for controlling the link in both directions.
The non-line-of-sight (NLOS) aspects of the product are provided by Multiple-Input MultipleOutput (MIMO), coupled with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
modulation.
4.2
Frequency Bands
The PTP 600 Series Bridge has been developed to operate within license exempt frequency
bands as well as the licensed 2.5GHz band in the USA. The current product range supports:
USA BRS-EBS Post-Transition band 2.5 GHz (2496 – 2690 GHz)
ETSI 5.4 GHz band B (5.470-5.725 GHz)
ETSI 5.8 GHz band C (5.725–5.850 GHz) and the USA 5 GHz ISM band (5.725-5.850
GHz)
US Federal 4.5 GHz band (4.404-4.596 GHz)
USA and Canada Public Safety 4.9 GHz band
Military 4.8 GHz band
5.9 GHz band (5.825-5.925 GHz)
The PTP 600 Series Bridge has been designed to coexist with other users of the band in an
optimal fashion using a combination of Transmit Power Control (TPC), Spectrum
Management functionality and Antenna beam shape. In order to maintain link availability, the
product employs adaptive modulation techniques that dynamically reduce the data rate in
severe or adverse conditions.
46
4 Product Architecture
4.3
Ethernet Frames
The PTP 600 series provides wireless Ethernet bridging between two fixed locations. To be
more precise, it forwards Ethernet frames as a two-port transparent heterogeneous
encapsulation bridge, meaning that each bridge forwards frames between two dissimilar
interfaces (Ethernet and wireless), encapsulating Ethernet MAC frames within a PTP MAC
frames for transmission at the wireless interface. A link consisting of a pair of back to back
bridges appears to the data network to be very similar to a standard two-port Ethernet bridge.
The PTP600 series provides two egress queues in each direction, classifying Ethernet frames
into one of the two prioritised queues based on inspection of the user priority field (802.1p) in
in a customer (IEEE802.1Q) VLAN tag or provider (IEEE802.1ad) VLAN tag. Untagged frames
receive a default priority. The queuing method is strict priority. The bridge does not implement
any VLAN functions for bridged frames apart from inspection of the priority field, and
consequently the bridge forwards tagged and untagged Ethernet frames regardless of VLAN
ID and without modification of any protocol header fields.
The PTP 600 series supports a maximum Ethernet frame size of 2000 bytes for bridged
traffic.
4.4
Management Function
The management function of the PTP 600 Series Bridge is logically equivalent to a separate
protocol stack with virtual point of attachment at the Ethernet interface. This is illustrated in
Figure 12.
Figure 12 – PTP 600 Series Bridge Layer Diagram
47
4 Product Architecture
Each unit in the link is manageable through an IP connection. Standard IP protocols are
utilized for all management functions, for example, HP, SNMP, etc. The unit can be
configured to use a VLAN with a single C-tag or S-tag on the management interfaces.
4.5
Channel Bandwidth and Link Symmetry Control
The PTP 600 series provides configurable channel bandwidth in the radio link (5 MHz, 10
MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz and 30 MHz depending on the frequency band for the bandwidth
choice, see Table 5), and configurable fixed and adaptive link symmetry. Fixed link symmetry
supports:
2:1
1:1
1:2
Channel bandwidth 5 MHz supports link symmetry 1:1 only.
4.6
Upgradeable Software
The PTP 600 Series Bridge is fully software upgradeable. New software images are first
downloaded from the Motorola website http://www.motorola.com/ptp to a convenient
computer. The image is then uploaded to the ODU via the web management page described
in Section 8.3.6 “Software Upgrade”. The compressed image is first loaded into RAM and
check-summed. If the compressed image transfer has completed successfully the image is
decompressed and written to flash memory. On completion of this process the unit can be
rebooted to use the newly uploaded image. Should this process fail, the unit will revert to a
protected compressed image installed during manufacturing to allow the unit to be recovered.

NOTE: For PTP 54600, PTP 58600 and PTP 59600, use of the product is allowed according
to local regulations.
There are two alternative methods of spectrum planning:
First an operator can utilize the default spectrum management mode i-DFS (intelligent
Dynamic Frequency Selection). This mode uses the PTP 600 Series Bridge ability to
measure the interference levels in all channels to build up a picture of the interference /
noise levels in all channels. The PTP 600 Series Bridge uses statistical techniques to
select the most appropriate transmit and receive channels. The i-DFS mode can be
influenced in its channel decision process by selectively barring channels from use. The
use of this functionality is described in detail in Section 8.3.7 “Spectrum Management”.
Second, when detailed control of the spectrum allocation is required, it is recommended
that the fixed frequency mode is used to statically allocate transmit and receive channels.
CAUTION: These methods are not allowed when Radar Detection is enabled.
5.2
Licenses and Region Codes
The PTP 600 Series Bridge uses a system of Region Codes to control the operation of the
radio link. The user must ensure the product is configured to conform to local regulatory
requirements by installing a License Key for the correct Region Code.
CAUTION: For the connectorized model, when using external antennas of higher gain than
the appropriate integrated antenna, the regulations may require the maximum Tx power to be
reduced. To ensure that regulatory requirements are met for connectorized installations, refer
to Section 13.6 “Regulatory Issues with Connectorized Units”.

Operational Restrictions
5.3.1
Radar Avoidance
Radar Avoidance requires that equipment used in the region:
Detects interference from other systems and avoids co-channel operation with these
systems, notably radar systems.
Provide on aggregate a uniform loading of the spectrum across all devices, that is, Fixed
Frequency operation is not allowed.
Radar avoidance is not applicable to the PTP 25600 product or the PTP 45600 product.
To address the primary aims, the Spectrum Management algorithm implements a radar
detection function which looks for impulsive interference on the operating channel only. 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 last impulsive interference pulse was detected. After the thirty minutes
have expired the channel will be returned to the usable channel pool.
The equipment can only transmit on available channels, of which there are none at initial
power up. 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 a 60 seconds service outage every time radar is detected
and that the installation time is extended by 60 seconds even if there is found to be no radar
on the channel.
NOTE: On system installation or start-up this extends the initial scan time of the Master unit
by 60 seconds. To address the “provide aggregate uniform loading of the spectrum across all
devices” requirement, the channel selection algorithm will choose a channel at random from a
list of useable channels. The channel selection algorithm is initiated at link initialization and
when radar interference is detected.
58
5 Radio Link Planning and Regulations
5.3.2
RTTT Avoidance and Other Channel Use Restrictions
Where regulatory restrictions apply to certain channels these channels are barred. RTTT
avoidance may be necessary in all channel bandwidths. The number of channels barred is

Radar Avoidance, i-DFS and Variable (Narrow) Bandwidth Operation
PTP 600 Series bridges do not support operation with 5, 10 or 15 MHz channel bandwidth in
regions where radar avoidance is enabled.
NOTE: Radar avoidance requirements in the 5.4GHz band in the EU is detailed in
specification EN 301-893 version 1.4.1 and in the US in the specification FCC part 15.437.
Radar avoidance at 5.8GHz is applicable to EU operation and the requirements are currently
as defined in EN 302 502.
5.4
Variable Channel Bandwidth Operation
The selection of Channel Bandwidth depends upon the PTP bridge variant:
For PTP 25600, PTP 54600, PTP 58600 and PTP 59600, Channel Bandwidth may be 30,
15, 10 or 5 MHz.
For PTP 48600 and PTP 49600, Channel Bandwidth may be 20, 10 or 5 MHz.
The 30MHz channel widths are available where allowed by local regulations and subject to
some restrictions on channel choice.
Lite versions of the PTP 600 products do not support a Channel Bandwidths of 5 MHz.
Configuration of the variable bandwidth operation must be symmetric, that is, the Transmit
and receive channels must use identical Channel Bandwidths.
5.5
PTP 25600 Specific Frequency Planning Considerations
The supported 2.5GHz frequency range is split into three bands, according to the bands
specified in the FCC BRS-EBS Post-Transition Band plan (only for PTP 25600 and Region
Code 16):
Lower: 2496 MHz to 2572 MHz with a 5.5MHz channel raster (76 MHz total).
Middle: 2572 MHz to 2614 MHz with a 6 MHz channel raster (42 MHz total).
Upper: 2618 MHz to 2690 MHz with a 5.5 MHz channel raster (76 MHz total).
NOTE: For the PTP 25600 product variant, the unit will only operate in Fixed Frequency
mode, and the user is unable to select i-DFS.

5.12
Time Division Duplex (TDD) Synchronization
5.12.1 Introduction
In a TDD system, a radio transmits for a portion of the radio frame and receives in a different
portion of the frame. Motorola PTP600 links consist of a Master unit and a Slave unit with the
Master transmitting for the first part of the radio frame (Slave receiving) and the Slave
transmitting in the remainder of the radio frame (Master receiving). The portion of the frame
apportioned to each period can be dynamic, for example in IP optimisation mode where the
split is a function of the offered traffic in each direction. However, if the frames of the two links
are not aligned in time, then an interference mechanism exists where one Master unit may be
transmitting when the Master unit from the other link is receiving. A similar mechanism exists
for Slave units. The level of interference becomes very signicant when the units are located in
close proximity, for example when units are located on the same mast. This problem is
illustrated in Figure 34 where it can be seen that transmissions from Master unit A overlap
with the receive portion of Master unit B and vice versa.
Figure 34 - Co-location of Links Interference Problem - A Simple Example
77
5 Radio Link Planning and Regulations
Interference can be minimised by increasing the radio channel separation between units
which are in close proximity, for example for units on the same mast. This may not always be
possible if the mast is hosting a large number of links and if spectrum is limited. Also, the
achieved reduction may not always be sufficient. Another way to reduce interference is to
reduce the transmit power of an interfering radio. Again, this may not always be possible if the
link causing the interference does not itself have sufficient radio gain margin to allow the
power of its radios to be reduced.
5.12.2 TDD Synchronization
TDD synchronization overcomes these issues by aligning the radio frame of all links in the
network such that all Master units transmit at the same time and receive at the same time.
This eliminates interference between units on the same mast if the units on the mast are
configured as Master units. This illustrated in Figure 28 where the frames of the two links are
aligned in time.
Figure 35 TDD Synchronization And Co location Example
Due to propagation delay, a mechanism exists where an interfering signal from a remote
Master unit arrives at a victim Master delayed in time. This would occur when Master units
are installed on different masts. Similarly, an interfering signal from a remote Slave unit will
arrive at a victim Slave unit delayed in time. Correct configuration of TDD synchronization
ensures that the delayed signals do not overlap with the receive portion of the victim frame. In
order to eliminate the interference from delayed signals, the configuration and the resulting
TDD frame structure will actually depend upon characteristics of the overall network such as
the longest link and the maximum distance between interfering Master units and interfering
Slave units. The installation wizard requests that these parameters are entered when TDD
synchronization is enabled. This is covered in detail in Section 14 “TDD Synchronization
Configuration and Installation Guide”.
78
5 Radio Link Planning and Regulations
5.12.3 Implementation of TDD Synchronization
TDD synchronization is achieved by connecting each Master unit to a GPS Synchronization
Unit. Installation details are covered in Section 14 “TDD Synchronization Configuration and
Installation Guide”. The GPS unit provides the Master unit with a precise 1Hz signal where
the leading edge occurs at the same point in time for all units in the network which have been
locked to the GPS Satellite system. The Master radio then aligns its radio frame to start on
the leading edge of the 1Hz signal.
5.12.4 System Constraints with TDD Synchronization Enabled
The following constraints apply when TDD synchronization is enabled:
As the radio frame needs to be aligned across the network, the apportioning of the frame
between the two link directions can no longer be dynamic. The split is fixed at 50:50.
In order that the start of the radio frame can always align with the leading edge of the 1Hz
signal, the radio frame duration must be an integer fraction of 1s. The exact frame length
is calculated by the installation wizard as a function of the network characteristics such as
longest link, and longest distance between interfering masters and interfering slaves.
TDD synchronisation is a feature which enables a network of links to co-exist. A major
part of network design is concerned with frequency planning which is required in order to
minimise interference between links. It is therefore reasonable that when TDD
synchronisation is enabled, the radio is configured for a specific fixed frequency selected
as part of the network design. As such, Intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection (iDFS) is
disabled.
It is not possible to enable TDD synchronisation in regions where radar avoidance is
enabled. This is because radar avoidance requires the random selection of frequency
after detection, rather than a fixed frequency which is selected as part of a network
design.
79
5 Radio Link Planning and Regulations
5.13
Color Codes
Color Codes allow the user to optimize densely populated synchronized PTP 600 networks.
There are two such parameters to be configured for each link:
Tx Color Code
Rx Color Code
The Color Code parameters have 5 possible values: A, B, C, D and E. Different color codes
have subtly different transmit waveforms.
Setting the wanted signal Colour Code and the interfering signal Color Code to different
values has the effect of de-correlating the two co-channel, synchronized signals, making
the interference appear more noise-like to the victim. This improves synchronized, cochannel performance by up to 7 dB.
This feature allows users to plan very dense networks where signal to interference
levels below 14 dB can now be tolerated. This was previously not possible for synchronized,
co-channel interference.
The configuration of Tx and Rx Color Code is performed as part of the installation process.
See Section 8.3.4.4 “Wireless Configuration”.
5.14
Distance
The PTP 600 Series Bridge will operate at ranges from 100 m (330 ft) to 200 km (124 miles),
within 3 modes: 0-40km (0-25 miles), 0-100km (0-62 miles) and 0-200km (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 100m (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. This subject is covered in more detail in Section 6.1.3 “Path Loss Considerations“.
80
5 Radio Link Planning and Regulations
5.15
Networking Information
The PTP 600 Series Bridge operates as a transparent Ethernet bridge. Although each unit
requires an IP address, this IP address is for management purposes only, and it plays no part
in the forwarding of bridged Ethernet frames. IP addresses are assigned during initial
configuration as described in Section 7.2 “Installation Procedure”.
5.16
Lightning Protection
The amount of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory requirements and the end user
requirements. The standard ODU for the PTP 600 Series Bridge is fitted with surge limiting
circuits and other features to minimize the risk of damage due to nearby lightning strikes.
These standard features may require some additional equipment to be configured as part of
the system installation to be fully effective.
CAUTION: Motorola recommends the use of screened cable and Lightning Protection units to
protect connected equipment from nearby strikes.
NOTE: The PTP 600 Series Bridge is not designed to survive direct lightning strikes. For this
reason the unit should not be installed as the highest point in a localized area, unless specific
precautions are taken. See Section 10 “Lightning Protection”.
5.17
Electrical Requirements
The PTP 600 Series Bridge requires one mains supply outlet at each end of the link to plug in
the PIDU Plus units. See Section 3.3.2 “PIDU Plus – PTP 600 Series Bridge”.

Site Selection Criteria
The following are guidelines for selecting the installation location of the ODU and PIDU Plus
for a PTP 600 Series Bridge.
6.1.1
ODU Site Selection
When selecting a site for the ODU the following should be taken into consideration:
It is not possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the antenna
Height and location to achieve the best radio path
Height in relation to other objects with regard to lightning strikes
Aesthetics and planning permission issues
Distance from the ODU and connected Network equipment (Maximum cable run from the
ODU to the connected equipment is 100m [330 ft])
Distance from the PIDU Plus to the ODU (Maximum cable run from the PIDU Plus to the
ODU is 300m [990 ft] when using the Fiber interface)
If using the GPS Sync Unit, ensure that it is exposed to an unobstructed path to the sky.
Please refer to the “GPS Synchronization Unit Kit” User Manual delivered with the kit.
6.1.2
PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus Site Selection
When selecting a site for the PIDU Plus the following should be taken into consideration:
Availability of a mains electricity supply
Accessibility for viewing status indicators and pressing Recovery switch.

6.1.3
Path Loss Considerations
The 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).

Definitions
The equipment capability is given in Table 17 to Table 30. Each table gives Link Loss, Output
Power and System Thresholds for PTP 600 Series Bridge in all modulation modes for all
available channel bandwidths. Adaptive Modulation will ensure that the highest throughput
that can be achieved instantaneously will be obtained taking account of propagation and
interference. The calculation of Equation 1 needs to be performed to judge whether a
particular link can be installed. 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.
The values for (BPSK) are static receive sensitivity measurements. The other values are
static receive sensitivity measurements with an AMOD threshold applied. The AMOD
threshold applied is for a benign radio channel.
83
6 Site Planning
Sensitivity: Sensitivity is defined as the combined receive input signal level on both
-7
horizontal and vertical inputs that produces a Null BER Error ratio of 3x10 .
Output Power: The output power is for a centre channel in Region 1. The output power will
be reduced on the edge channels and may vary if different region codes are selected.
AMOD Threshold: The AMOD threshold is the combined receive input signal level on both
horizontal and vertical inputs that results in the link consistently entering the receive
modulation mode under consideration as the signal level is increased.
System Threshold: Thresholds for all modes except BPSK are for the relevant link
optimization AMOD thresholds. System threshold for BPSK is the RPSK receive sensitivity.
Max Link Loss: The maximum link loss for each modulation mode is derived from the AMOD
threshold for that mode (sensitivity threshold for BPSK) and the maximum Region 1 centre
channel output power. The figures assume integral antennas are used, with gain depending
upon frequency band as follows:
23 dBi (5.9 GHz, 5.8 GHz and 5.4 GHz)
22 dBi (4.8 GHz and 4.9 GHz)

7.6
Mounting the ODUs
The ODU mounting bracket is designed to ease installation by fixing the bracket to a pole and
then bringing the ODU into position using a single bolt fixing. The ODU should be mounted
using the following steps ensuring that the cable entry is at the bottom.
The ODU mounting bracket is designed to work with poles with diameters in the range 50mm
(2”) to 75mm (3”).
Figure 36 - Mounting to pole diameters 25mm (1”) to 50mm (2”)
Step 2: Mate the unit to the bracket together
and tighten the nut and bolt.
Step 1: Mount the bracket to the pole.
Pole diameters of 25mm (1”) to 50mm (2”) can be accommodated by inverting the back of the
bracket as shown in Figure 36.
When adjustment is complete tighten all bolts to 14Nm (11lb ft).
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the bolts as bracket failure may occur.
The enclosure and mounting brackets of the PTP 600 Series Bridge product range are
capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 151mph (242kph). The installer should ensure that
the structure the bridge is fixed to is also capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds
and loads. See Section 12 “Wind Loading”.
101
7 Installation
WARNING: The integral safety loop should be used both for hoisting the ODU up a mast or
building and into position, and also as a fixing point to secure a permanent safety lanyard
from the tower/building to the ODU in case of mounting failure.
Figure 37 - Integral Safety Loop
The length of the safety lanyard must not exceed 1m (approx 3 ft) in length. The lanyard
should be made from a material that does not degrade in an outdoor environment.
The safety lanyard must be fixed to a separate fixing point that is not part of the direct
mounting system for the ODU.
102
7 Installation
7.7
Connecting Up
7.7.1
Preparing the PIDU Plus To ODU Cable
The maximum cable length between the ODU and the user’s Network Equipment is 100m
(330 ft). Cable lengths up to 300m (984 ft) can be used where the PIDU Plus to ODU cable is
supplying power only, that is, when using the PTP 600 Series Bridge Optical Interface.
WARNING: The copper screen of the recommended Superior Essex cable is very sharp and
may cause personal injury. When preparing this cable, take the following precautions:
ALWAYS wear cut resistant gloves (check the label to ensure thay are cut resistant).
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear.
ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable (DO NOT use a bladed knife). To use
the rotary blade tool, fit it around the outer cable sheaf and rotate the cutter around the
cable once or twice. The stripped outer section can then be removed.
103
7 Installation
The cable should be assembled as shown in Figure 38:
Figure 38 - Correct Cable Preparation for the Recommended Cable
CAUTION: Check that the crimp tool matches the RJ45 connector being used.
Both ends of the ODU cable are terminated in the same way. The above procedure should be
repeated for the PIDU Plus end of the cable when the cable routing process is complete. This
assumes that the installation uses PTP LPUs. If not, then the PIDU Plus end of the cable
does not require a Gland, but just the RJ45.
NOTE: The PIDU Plus end of the cable does not employ a cable gland.
104
7 Installation
Figure 39 shows a completed ODU to PIDU Plus cable.
Figure 39 - Completed ODU Connector
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the glands as the internal seal and structure may be
damaged. See Figure 40 for an example of an over tightened cable gland.
Figure 40 - Correct and Incorrect Tightening of Cable Gland

7 Installation
7.7.2
Making the Connections at the ODU
Looking at the back of the unit with the cable entry at the bottom, the PTP 600 Series Bridge
PIDU Plus connection is the first hole on the right (Figure 41) and is labeled “PIDU +”.
Figure 41 – PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus Connexion
106
7 Installation
7.7.3
Making the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus Connection At The ODU
The following procedure describes how connection is made at the ODU. It is often easier to
carry out this procedure on the ground or a suitable surface prior to mounting the ODU.
Ensure that no power is connected to the PIDU Plus or present on the cable before
connecting the ODU.
Figure 42 - Connecting the PIDU+ to the ODU
Step 1: Assemble the cable as described in
7.7.1 above
Step 2: Insert the RJ45 connector making
sure that the locking tab snaps home
Step 3: Screw in the body of the weather
proofing gland and tighten
Step 4: Screw on the clamping nut and tighten
(Do not over tighten – see Figure 40)
107
7 Installation
Should it be necessary to disconnect the PIDU Plus to ODU cable at the ODU, this can be
achieved by removing the weather proofing gland and depressing the RJ45 locking tab with a
small screwdriver as shown below.
Figure 43 - Disconnecting the ODU
CAUTION: Ensure that power is removed from the system at the PIDU Plus to prevent
damage to the ODU while making or breaking the connection.
7.7.4
Routing the Cable
After connecting the cable to the ODU it can be routed and secured using standard cable
routing and securing techniques. When the cable is in place it can then be cut to the desired
length at the PIDU Plus prior to connection to the PIDU Plus.
7.7.5
Fitting a Lightning Protection Unit
If you have opted to fit a Lightning Protection unit, this should be installed by following the
manufacturer’s instruction. For recommended types see Section 10 “Lightning Protection”.
108
7 Installation
7.7.6
Grounding the Installation
The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must be properly grounded to protect against power surges. It is the
user’s responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the National Electrical Code in the
country of installation. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the
outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and
connection requirements for grounding electrodes. It is recommended that installation of the
outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer.
7.7.7
Making the ODU Connection at the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus
The ODU is connected to the PIDU Plus by means of a concealed RJ45 connector. The RJ45
connection has been placed inside the PIDU Plus hinged cover to prevent the user from
inadvertently plugging other equipment into the ODU RJ45 socket.
CAUTION: Plugging other equipment into the ODU RJ45 socket may damage the equipment
due to the non-standard techniques employed to inject DC power into the 1000BaseT
connection between the PIDU Plus and the ODU. Plugging the ODU into other equipment
may damage the ODU and/or the other equipment.
Step 1: Undo the retaining screw and hinge
back the cover.
109
Step 2: Plug in the ODU into the PIDU Plus Cable
ensuring that it snaps home
7 Installation
Step 3: Replace the cover and secure with the retaining screw
7.7.8
Making the Network Connection at The PIDU Plus – PTP 600 Series Bridge
The Network connection is made by connecting the user’s Network Equipment directly to the
PIDU Plus LAN port as shown in Figure 44.
Figure 44 - Making the Network Connection at the PIDU Plus
110
7 Installation
7.7.9
Mounting the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus
This step is optional. Motorola recommends that you mount the PIDU Plus on a wall or other
suitable mounting surface. This prevents the unit from being knocked or kicked and can help
maintain link availability. Ensure that the Recovery switch can be accessed when mounting
the unit.
Step 1: Fix the PIDU Plus to the wall using the lugs provided.
Step 2: Make connections as per Section 7.7.7 “Making the ODU
Connection at the PTP 600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus”
CAUTION: The PIDU Plus is not waterproof and should be mounted away from sources of
moisture. If mounted outdoors, the unit should be mounted in a rain proof enclosure,
preferably ventilated.
111
7 Installation
It is also recommended that you fit a drip loop on the PIDU Plus to ODU cable to ensure that
any moisture that runs down the cable into the cabinet or enclosure cannot enter the PIDU
Plus. This is shown in Figure 45. The network connection and mains cable should be treated
in the same way if there is a risk that they can carry moisture to the PIDU Plus.
Figure 45 – PTP 600 Series PIDU Plus Drip Loop Configuration
CAUTION: It is possible for moisture to enter the cable due to damage to the outer protective
layer. This moisture can track down the inside of the cable, filling up the drip loop and
eventually finding its way into the PIDU Plus. To protect against this the outer protective layer
of the cable can be opened up at the bottom of the drip loop to allow this moisture to escape.
112
7 Installation
7.7.10 Powering Up
The PTP 600 Series Bridge is supplied as a pair of matched Master/Slave units. The Master
unit can now be powered up and accessed using the default URL http://169.254.1.2/; the
Slave unit can be accessed using http://169.254.1.1/.
Prior to powering up the PTP 600 Series Bridge, a computer with web browsing capabilities
should be configured with an IP address of 169.254.n.n and subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
where n is any value between 1 and 254 but excluding 1.1 or 1.2. If the default addresses of
the unit 169.254.1.1/2 clashes with an address you are already using on your LAN, or you are
not sure, you should set up an isolated LAN. As the LAN connection presented at the PIDU
Plus has a default configuration as a hub/switch (and auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cross over is
employed), connection can be made directly to the computer using a standard CAT 5 patch
cable.
Before physical installation takes place the units to be installed should be set up as described
in the Section 8.3.4 “Install Pages”. It is recommended that this procedure be carried out on
the bench before physical installation commences. Providing it is safe to do so, the installer
should take the process to the point where a radio link is established before proceeding to the
installation site.
NOTE: It is possible that some units may not be accessed using the above default URL. This
is because these units may have been previously configured with IP addresses 10.10.10.11
(Master) and 10.10.10.10 (Slave). Therefore, users must use the URL http://10.10.10.10/
and/or URL http://10.10.10.11/ to configure the units. Please ensure that a computer with web
browsing capabilities is configured with an IP address of 10.10.10.n, where n is any value
between 2 and 254 but excluding 10 and 11, to configure these units.
113
7 Installation
7.7.11 Aligning the PTP 600 Series Bridge ODUs
The following is a description of the steps taken to establish a radio link between the two
units forming the bridge and align the units for the best signal strength.
The PTP 600 Series Bridge uses audible tones during installation to assist the installer with
alignment. The installer should adjust the alignment of the ODU in both azimuth and elevation
until highest pitch tone is achieved
The pitch of the alignment tone is proportional to the received power of the wireless signals.
The best results are usually achieved by making small incremental movement in angular
alignment.
The tones and their meanings are as follows:

The term ‘wanted signal’ refers to that of the peer unit being installed.
In each of the states detailed above, the unit should be aligned to give the highest pitch tone.
It should be noted that if, when in the Synchronized or Registered state, the tone varies
wildly, you may be suffering from interference or a fast fading link. Installing in this situation
may not give a reliable link. The cause of the problem should be investigated.
114
7 Installation
For the ease of alignment, both Master and Slave units use the install tones in the same way
but with some small behavioral differences. This allows the installer to install the Slave unit
first and carry out the initial alignment with the Master unit if desired. However, due to the
behavioral differences of Master and Slave units, it is recommended that the Master unit is
installed first and the initial alignment carried out at the Slave unit.
There is a graphical installation screen (section 8.3.5 “Graphical Install”) available using the
web interface that displays the state of the link during the alignment process (up = green,
down = red).
The following behavior should be noted:
Band scan: When first started up and from time to time, the Master unit will carry out a
band scan to determine which channels are not in use. During this time, between 10 and
15 seconds, the Master unit will not transmit and as a consequence of this neither will the
Slave unit. During this time the installation tone on the master unit will drop back to the
band scan state, and the Slave unit will drop back to the Scanning state with the pitch of
the tone set to the background noise level. Alignment of the unit should cease during this
time.
Radar detection: If the unit is operating where mandatory radar avoidance algorithms
are implemented, the ranging behaviour for the PTP 600 Series Bridge may be affected.
The Master has to monitor the initially chosen channel for 60 seconds to make sure it is
clear of radar signals before transmitting. If a radar is detected during any of the
installation phases, a further compulsory 60 seconds channel scan will take place as the
master unit attempts to locate a new channel that is free of radar interference.
Ranging: The Master unit can take up to 60 seconds in 0-40km (0-25 miles) mode, 90
seconds in 0-130km (0-81 miles) mode and 120 seconds in 0-200km (0-124 miles) mode
to determine the range of the link being installed. The Master unit will remain in the
Scanning state until the range of the link has been established. The Master unit will only
move to the Synchronized state when the range of the link has been established.
Retrying same channel: If, at the end of the ranging period, the Registered state is not
achieved due to interference or other reasons, the Master unit will retry twice more on the
same channel before moving to another available channel. Should this occur it might take
a number of minutes to establish a link in the Registered state.
Slave unit: The Slave unit does not have a ranging process. The slave unit will change to
the Synchronized state as soon as the wanted signal is demodulated.
115
7 Installation
When the alignment process is complete, the installer MUST REMEMBER TO DISARM
BOTH UNITS in the link, as described in Section 8.3.4 “Install Pages”. This is necessary in
order to:
Turn off the audible alignment aid (section 8.3.4.6 “Disarm”)
Enable Adaptive Modulation
Fully enable Advanced Spectrum Management with i-DFS
Clear unwanted installation information from the various systems statistics
Store the link range for fast link acquisition on link drop
Enable higher data rates
NOTE: After 24 hours, the units will be disarmed automatically, provided that they are armed
and that the link is UP.

8.1
Home Page – PTP 600 Series Bridge
The home page for the PTP 600 Series Bridge has been designed to display a high level
summary of the status of the wireless link and associated equipment. The home page (Figure
47) normally displays four key system attributes:
Wireless Link Status: The Wireless Link Status attribute displays the current status of the
PTP 600 Series Bridge wireless link. A state of ‘Up’ on a green background indicates that a
point-to-point link is established. A state of ‘Down’ on a red background indicates that the
wireless link is not established. If the link is down for an unknown reason the system
administrator should first consult the status web page for a more detailed summary of up to
date system diagnostics.
Link Name: The link name attribute is a name and/or handle allocated by the system
administrator to aid the identification of the unit, network or building.
Figure 47 - System Summary Page
Elapsed Time Indicator: The elapsed time indicator attribute presents the total time in days,
hours, minutes and seconds since the last system restart. The system can restart for several
reasons, for example, commanded reboot from the system reboot webpage, or a power cycle
of the equipment.
System Clock: If SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is enabled, or the clock has been
set, then a system clock attribute is displayed giving the date and time of the last page
refresh. Section 8.3.11.8 “SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)” explains how to enable
SNTP and Section 8.3.11.9 “Setting the clock” explains how to set the clock.

8 Web Page Reference
The following system alarms are defined:
Ethernet Link Status: Current status of the Ethernet link. If there are any problems with the
Ethernet interface, this alarm will be asserted. This alarm will most likely be seen if the unit
has no Ethernet cable plugged into its Ethernet socket. Note that a change of state may
generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
Telecoms Channel A Status (see section 8.3.4.3 “Telecoms Interface” for a description
of the Telecoms Interface): Current status of telecoms channel A. Indicates that there is a
problem with the telecoms channel A. Possible problems are "No Signal (local)", "No Signal
(Remote)", and "No Signal (Local and Remote)". Note that a change of state may generate an
SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
Telecoms Channel B Status (see section 8.3.4.3 for a description of the Telecoms
Interface): Current status of telecoms channel B. Indicates that there is a problem with the
telecoms channel B. Possible problems are "No Signal (local)", "No Signal (Remote)", and
"No Signal (Local and Remote)". Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap
and/or SMTP email alert.
Telecoms Interface A Loopback (see section 8.3.4.3 for a description of the Telecoms
Interface): The loopback status of telecoms channel A. This is intended for installation testing
and should be set to 'None' for normal operation. The wire connections to a unit can be tested
by applying a 'Copper' loopback to the local unit. The wireless connection to the remote unit
can be tested by applying a 'Wireless' loopback to the remote unit with no loopback on the
local unit. Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
The loopback can be disabled from the telecoms configuration sub menu (see Section
8.3.1.6).
Telecoms Interface B Loopback (see section 8.3.4.3 for a description of the Telecoms
Interface): The loopback status of telecoms channel B. This is intended for installation testing
and should be set to 'None' for normal operation. The wire connections to a unit can be tested
by applying a 'Copper' loopback to the local unit. The wireless connection to the remote unit
can be tested by applying a 'Wireless' loopback to the remote unit with no loopback on the
local unit. Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
The loopback can be disabled from the telecoms configuration sub menu (see Section 8.3.1.6
“Telecoms Configuration Page”).
Region Code: The region code prohibits the wireless unit from operating outside the
regulated limits. An invalid region code indicates a corrupted license key. Note that a change
of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
121
8 Web Page Reference
Install Status: A non-OK value indicates that signaling was received with the wrong MAC
address. Note that it is very unusual to detect this, because units with wrongly configured
Target MAC Address will normally fail to establish a wireless link. However, rare
circumstances may establish a partial wireless link and detect this situation. NB: A non-OK
value on start-up, or a change of value during operation, may generate an SNMP trap and/or
SMTP email alert.
Install Arm State:
This alarm warns when a wireless unit is in installation mode. After
installation the wireless unit should be disarmed. This will increase the wireless link’s datacarrying capacity and stop the installation tone generator. The wireless link is disarmed from
the ‘Installation Wizard’ see Section 8.3.4.6 “Disarm”. A change of state may generate an
SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
Unit Out Of Calibration: The unit is out of calibration and must be returned to the factory
using the RMA process for re-calibration.
Encryption Enable Mismatch (see section 17 “AES Encryption Upgrade”): Encryption has
been enabled on one end of the wireless link but not the other.
Incompatible Region Codes: The PTP 600 Series Bridge uses region codes to comply with
local regulatory requirements governing the transmission of wireless signals in the 5.9 GHz,
5.8 GHz, 5.4 GHz, 4.5 GHz and 2.5 GHz bands. Region codes can only be changed by
obtaining a new PTP600. Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or
SMTP email alert.
Series license key: If this alarm is encountered the appropriate license keys from the country
of operation should be obtained from your distributor. Applying license keys containing the
same region codes to both ends of the link will remove the alarm.
No Wireless Channel Available: Spectrum Management was unable to locate a suitable
wireless channel to operate on. Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap
and/or SMTP email alert.
Wireless Link Disable Warning: This warning is displayed if the Wireless link has been
administratively disabled via the SNMP Interface (see Section 8.3.11 “Remote Management
Page”). The Wireless Interface MIB-II ifAdminStatus attribute has been set to DOWN. To
enable the Ethernet interface, set the ifAdminStatus attribute to UP. Note that a change of
state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
122
8 Web Page Reference
Ethernet Link Disable Warning: This warning is displayed if the Ethernet link has been
administratively disabled via the SNMP Interface (see section 8.3.11 “Remote Management
Page”). The Ethernet Interface MIB-II ifAdminStatus attribute has been set to DOWN. To
enable the Ethernet interface, set the ifAdminStatus attribute to UP. Note that a change of
state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
Fiber Link Status: If the fiber link is not OK, there are two possible causes: Either the fiber
link has been installed but disabled (because the license key does not include fiber support),
or the link could not be established even though an optical carrier was detected (due perhaps
to a broken TX fiber, or the link is disabled at the fiber link partner). Note that a change of
status may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
Ethernet Configuration Mismatch Alarm: The detection of Ethernet fragments (runt
packets) when the link is in full duplex is an indication of an auto-negotiation or forced
configuration mismatch. Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or
SMTP email alert.
Incompatible Master and Slave: A non-zero value indicates that the master and slave ends
of the wireless link are different hardware products, or have different software versions. Note
that it is very unusual to detect this because incompatible units will normally fail to establish a
wireless link. However, some combinations may establish a partial wireless link and detect
this situation. Note that a non-zero value may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email
alert.
TDD Synchronization Status: Current status of the TDD Synchronization (acquiring
synchronization, no timing reference and timing system not connected). Note that a change of
state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
SNTP Synchronization failed: This warning indicates that SNTP has been enabled but that
the unit is unable to synchronize with the specified SNTP server. Section 8.3.11.8 “SNTP
(Simple Network Time Protocol)” explains how to configure SNTP. Note that a change of
state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.

8.2
Systems Status Page
The status page has been designed to give the system administrator a detailed view of the
operation of the 600 Series Bridge from both the wireless and network perspectives.
The page is subdivided into four main categories Equipment, Wireless, Telecoms and
Ethernet/Internet. The ‘Equipment’ section contains the unit’s inventory and identification
information. The ‘Wireless’ section presents the key wireless metrics, which are displayed as
a series of measurements. The ‘Ethernet/Internet’ section describes the unit’s network identity
and connectivity. “Telecoms” controls the unit’s E1/T1 telecoms interfaces.
The status page can be configured to refresh itself at an operator defined rate (if the user is
logged in as system administrator). The refresh period defaults to 3600 seconds and can
easily be changed to refresh at any period between 2 seconds and 3600 seconds. Pressing
the ‘Update Page Refresh Period’ button causes a new page refresh period to be adopted by
the system. The page refresh mechanism uses a HTML Meta refresh command. Therefore
the refresh is always initiated by the local browser and not by the 600 Series Bridge at this
interval.
The two PTP 600 Series bridges units are arranged in a master and slave relationship. The
roles of the units in this relationship are displayed in the page title. The master unit will always
have the title ‘- Master’, and the slave will always have ‘- Slave’ appended to the ‘Systems
Status’ page title.

The following section details all the attributes displayed on the status page:
Link Name: The link name is allocated by the system administrator and is used to identify the
equipment on the network. The link name attribute is limited to a maximum size of 63 ASCII
characters.
Link Location: The link location is allocated by the system administrator and can be used as
a generic scratch pad to describe the location of the equipment or any other equipment
related notes. The link location attribute is limited to a maximum size of 63 ASCII characters.
Software Version: The attribute describes the version of software installed on the
equipment. The format of the attributes is FFSSS-XX-YY where FF is the frequency variant
(2.5, 4.5, 5.4, 5.8 or 5.9 GHz), SSS is the System Release, XX is the major release version
and YY is the minor release version.
Hardware Version: The hardware version attribute contains all the combined hardware
version information. The attribute is formatted as DXX-RYY-Z where DXX contain the version
of the digital card, RYY contains the version of the RF (radio frequency) card and Z describes
the antenna type which can be I (integrated) or C (connectorized).
Region Code: The region code is used by the system to constrain the wireless to operate
within regulatory regime of the particular country. The region code is encoded in the product
license key. If the operator wishes to change region code, a new license key must be
obtained from Motorola or the local point-to-point distributor / system integrator.
Elapsed Time Indicator: The elapsed time indicator attribute presents the total time in years,
days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last system restart. The system can restart for
several reasons, for example commanded reboot from the system reboot web page, or a
power cycle of the equipment.
Ethernet Link Status: Current status of the Ethernet link. A state of ‘Up’ with a green
background indicates that an Ethernet link is established. A state of ‘Down’ with a red
background indicates that the Ethernet link is not established.

Ethernet Speed and Duplex: The negotiated speed and duplex setting of the Ethernet
interface. The speed setting is specified in Mbps. Full Duplex data transmission means that
data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier at the same time. For example,
on a local area network with a technology that has full duplex transmission; one workstation
can be sending data on the line while another workstation is receiving data. Half Duplex data
transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a signal carrier, but not
at the same time. For example, on a local area network using a technology that has half
duplex transmission, one workstation can send data on the line and then immediately receive
data on the line from the same direction in which data was just transmitted.
Remote IP Address: Hyperlink to the other side of the Link. The IP address of the peer link is
displayed if the Link is UP, otherwise “unavailable” is displayed.
Channel A: The status of telecom interface A.
Channel B: The status of telecom interface B.
Refresh Page Period: The Status page refreshes automatically according to the setting
entered here (in seconds). This attribute is only displayed when the user is logged on as
System Administrator.
Wireless Link Status: As the attribute name suggests it displays the current status of the
wireless link. A state of ‘Up’ on a green background indicates that a point-to-point link is
established. A state of ‘Down’ on a red background indicates that the wireless link is not
established.
Maximum Transmit Power: The maximum transmit power that the local wireless unit is
permitted to use to sustain a link.
Remote Maximum Transmit Power: The maximum transmit power that the remote wireless
unit is permitted to use to sustain a link.
Transmit Power: Transmit power histogram is expressed in dBm and presented as: max,
mean, min, and latest. The max, min and latest are true instantaneous measurements; the
mean is the mean of a set of one second means. See Section 8.2.1 “Histogram Data”.
Receive Power: Receive power histogram is expressed in dBm and presented as: max,
mean, min, and latest. The max, min and latest are true instantaneous measurements; the
mean is the mean of a set of one second means. See Section 8.2.1 “Histogram Data”.

Vector Error: The vector error measurement compares the received signal’s In phase /
Quadrature (IQ) modulation characteristics to an ideal signal to determine the composite error
vector magnitude. The results are stored in an histogram and expressed in dB and presented
as: max, mean, min and latest. The max, min and latest are true instantaneous
measurements; the mean is the mean of a set of one second means. The expected range for
Vector Error would be approximately -2dB (NLOS link operating at sensitivity limit on BPSK
0.67) to –33dB (short LOS link running 256 QAM 0.83). See Section 8.2.1 “Histogram Data”.
Link Loss: The link loss is the total attenuation of the wireless signal between the two
point-to-point units. See Section 8.2.1 “Histogram Data”..

one or both of the units is a Connectorized
version.
Transmit Data Rate: The data rate in the transmit direction, expressed in Mbps and
presented as: max, mean, min, and latest in an histogram format. The max, min and latest
are true instantaneous measurements; the mean is the mean of a set of one second means.
See Section 8.2.1 “Histogram Data”. Expected data rates can be found in Section 16 “Data
Rate Calculations”.
Receive Data Rate: The data rate in the receive direction, expressed in Mbps and presented
as: max, mean, min, and latest in an histogram format. The max, min and latest are true
instantaneous measurements; the mean is the mean of a set of one second means. See

Link Capacity: The maximum aggregate data rate capacity available for user traffic,
assuming the units have been connected using Gigabit Ethernet. The link capacity is variable
and depends of the prevailing wireless conditions as well as the distance (range) between the
two wireless units..
Transmit Modulation Mode: The modulation mode currently being used on the transmit
channel. List of all the modulation modes can be found in Section 16 “Data Rate Calculations”
where data rate calculations plots are given for each available modulation mode..
Receive Modulation Mode: The modulation mode currently being used on the receive
channel. List of all the modulation modes can be found in Section 16 “Data Rate Calculations”
where data rate calculations plots are given for each available modulation mode.
Link Symmetry: The Link Symmetry control setting, expressed as a ratio of the number of
OFDM symbols in each TDD frame where the first number represents the transmit direction
and the second number represents the receive direction.
NOTE: If Link Symmetry is set to “2 to 1” at the master ODU, it will be displayed as “1 to 2” in
the Status Page of the slave ODU, indicating that the master-slave direction has double the
capacity of the slave-master direction.
Receive Modulation Mode Detail: This supplies the user with information regarding the
receive modulation mode in use. Possible values are:
Running at maximum receive mode
Running at user-configured Max Modulation Mode
Restricted due to byte errors on the wireless link or local Ethernet Tx Fifo Drops
Restricted because a DFS channel change is in progress
Restricted due to telecoms acquisition mode
Restricted due to the low Ethernet link speed
Limited by the wireless conditions
Range: The range between the 600 Series bridge ODUs. The PTP 600 Series Bridge
displays range in km by default, but if the user would prefer to display range using Miles, the
‘Distance Units’ attribute should be set to imperial, as described in Section 8.3.15

System Configuration
The configuration of the 600 Series Bridge is organized into three sections:
General configuration
LAN configuration
Telecoms Configuration
Save and Restore
The general configuration allows modification of high level administrative (descriptive)
attributes and high level wireless configuration.
The LAN configuration sub menu allows the system administrator to modify the Ethernet and
IP configuration of the 600 Series Bridge.
The telecoms submenu displays the current status of the telecoms interface and allows the
configuration of interface loopbacks.
The save and restore submenu allows the system administrator to backup and restore the
bridge configuration. It is recommended after a unit has been successfully installed; a copy of
the active configuration is taken and archived by the system administrator.
8.3.1.1
General Configuration Page
The general configuration page (Figure 51) is used by the system administrator to configure
the 600 Series Bridge’s high level administrative (descriptive) attributes and high level
wireless configuration.
Figure 51 - System Configuration Page
131
8 Web Page Reference
While the majority of the system configuration is entered during installation and should never
require changing, this page offers the system administrator the ability to change the basic
system parameters for both the wireless and Ethernet components.
Link Name: User defined identity for the unit (max 63 characters).
Link Location: Can be used as a generic scratch pad to describe the location of the
equipment.
Master Slave Mode and Link Mode Optimization: Current settings are displayed and can
be modified using the Installation Wizard pages 8.3.4 “Install Pages”.
Max Receive Modulation Mode: This is the maximum mode the unit will use as its adaptive
modulation. By default the Max Receive Modulation Mode is the highest mode available.
For minimum error rates, set the maximum modulation mode to the minimum necessary to
carry the required traffic.
Ethernet Capped Max Wireless Speed: When enabled this option will cap the wireless
speed to a mode that the connected Ethernet connection can sustain.
Maximum Transmit Power: This specifies the maximum transmit power in dBm of the
system. It is country dependent and although the user can change this in 1dB steps, it will be
limited to that country’s regulations.
NOTE: In the UK there is a legal requirement to provide a minimum of 19 dB of transmit
power control range. When the equipment is operating with a UK Licence Key, an additional
facility is provided on the configuration page that allows the transmitted power to be reduced
by 19 dB compared to the maximum allowed with a simple single step control..
NOTE: Why Reduce Transmit Power? If the link losses are low and the link data rate and
availability targets are being easily achieved, the transmitted power level may be reduced
with a consequent benefit to other users of the band, such as fixed satellite links.
132
8 Web Page Reference
8.3.1.2
LAN Configuration Page
The LAN configuration page (Figure 52) is used by the system administrator to configure the
600 Series Bridge’s LAN interface.
Figure 52 - LAN Configuration Page
IP Address: Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet
protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network.
Subnet Mask: A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated
based on a network configuration.
133
8 Web Page Reference
Gateway IP Address: The IP address of a computer / router on the current network that acts
as a gateway.
VLAN High Priority Traffic Threshold: All packets with an 802.1P priority tag greater than
or equal to the indicated value will be treated as a high priority packet for transmission over
the wireless link.
Use VLAN For Management Interfaces: This controls use of VLAN tags at the management
interfaces (WWW/SNMP/SMTP/SNTP). See Section 8.3.1.3 “LAN Configuration Page – Use
VLAN For Management Interfaces”.
Ethernet Auto Negotiation This enables the Ethernet configuration to be forced rather than
auto negotiated.
CAUTION: The configuration should only be forced if you are having problems with auto
negotiation. You must ensure that you configure both this unit and the Ethernet port to which
it is connected identically. If you force a fixed Ethernet Configuration on the 600 Series bridge
then you MUST also force the same fixed configuration on the equipment to which it is
connected. If you fail to force the configuration of the connected equipment, its automatic
configuration mechanisms will normally cause a duplex mismatch, and you will receive greatly
reduced throughput!
When Ethernet Auto Negotiation is Disabled the format of the LAN configuration page will
change see Section 8.3.1.4 “LAN Configuration Page – Manual Ethernet Configuration”.
Auto Neg Advertisement: This controls the rates that the auto negotiation mechanism will
advertise as available.
CAUTION: Over the air throughput will be capped to the rate of the Ethernet interface at the
receiving end of the link.
Ethernet Auto Mdix: This enables/disables the Auto Medium Dependent Interface
(MDI)/Medium Dependent Interface Crossover (MDIX) capability. Default is “Enabled”.
Drop Ethernet Link On Wireless Link Down: When this option is enabled the Ethernet link
is momentarily dropped when the wireless link goes down. This feature is used to indicate to
the connected network equipment that this Ethernet link is no longer available, thus causing
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) to re-route packets through an alternative link.
134
8 Web Page Reference
Local Packet Filtering: When Local Packet Filtering is “Enabled”, the bridge learns the
source MAC addresses of devices transmitting Ethernet packets on the local Ethernet
network, and only bridges packets to the remote unit if the destination MAC address has not
been learned as a 'local' device. When Local Packet Filtering is ‘Disabled’ the bridge does
not learn the source MAC addresses of devices transmitting Ethernet packets on the local
Ethernet network, and bridges ALL Ethernet packets received to the remote unit.
Local
Packet Filtering should be disabled when external Ethernet switching hardware or a router is
present. The default setting for Local Packet Filtering is disabled.
All of the above attributes are non-volatile, once set they will be used by the unit even after a
power on reboot. A number of attributes, such as IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
Address and VLAN settings will require a reboot before they are used. If any of these
attributes are changed a reboot screen appears asking the user to verify the reboot (Figure
53 or Figure 54).
Figure 53 - Configuration Reboot Page
Figure 54 - Configuration Reboot Page - Ethernet Auto Negotiation Disabled
This will be followed by a pop-up dialogue box asking to confirm the action.

NOTE: At this point you will lose connection to the unit. If you have just changed the IP
Address you now have to reconnect to the unit using the address just set.
8.3.1.3
LAN Configuration Page – Use VLAN For Management Interfaces
The layout of the LAN Configuration page changes if this attribute is enabled in order to allow
the VLAN VID and VLAN Priority to be set, see Figure 55. The VLAN settings are applied only
after the unit is rebooted.
CAUTION: You must ensure that you can access the VLAN which you configure here,
otherwise you will be unable to access the unit following the next reboot.
CAUTION: The PTP 600 management function is only compatible with single VLAN tagged
packets. Any management packet with two or more packets will be ignored.
Figure 55 - VLAN Configuration Fields
136
8 Web Page Reference
Use VLAN For Management Interfaces: This control can be configured with one of the
following three values:
No VLAN Tagging
IEEE 802.1Q Tagged (C-Tag, Type 8100)
IEEE 802.1ad Tagged (S-Tag or B-Tag, Type 88a8)
VLAN Management VID: This 802.1Q or 802.1ad VLAN ID (VID) will be included in packets
generated by the management interfaces. Valid settings are in the range 0 to 4094.
VLAN Management Priority: This 802.1Q or 802.1ad VLAN Priority will be included in
packets generated by the management interfaces. Valid settings are in the range 0 to 7.
VLAN Management VID Validation: If enabled, the management interfaces will only respond
to Ethernet packets tagged with the configured Management VID; otherwise packets with any
VID will be accepted.

Save and Restore Configuration File
The save and restore feature of a PTP 600 Series Bridge allows the system administrator to
backup the operation configuration of the wireless unit. It is recommended that this facility is
used immediately after a successful PTP 600 Series Bridge installation or prior to any
software upgrade. In the unlikely event that a unit has to be replaced in the field, the
replacement unit can be reconfigured by simply playing back the saved configuration file.
8.3.1.5.1
Save Configuration File
To save the configuration file click on the ‘Save Configuration File’ button (Figure 57) and
save the configuration file (.cfg) to the hard drive of your computer.
Figure 57 - Save and Restore Configuration Page
The configuration file format is MAC-mm-mm-mm_IP-iii-iii-iii-iii.cfg, where mm and iii are
the lower 3 bytes of the MAC address and the unit IP address respectively.
NOTE: There is a feature of Internet Explorer (all versions) that looks at the content of any
downloadable file and decides whether to treat the file as ASCII or binary. As a result of this
feature, Internet Explorer always treats the configuration file as ASCII and attempts to display
it instead of downloading it. Firefox (all versions) makes no such assumption.

CAUTION: The configuration file is currently restricted to a single software version and can
only be restored into a wireless unit operating the software version indicated in the
configuration file header.
8.3.1.5.2
Restore Configuration File
The configuration file can also be used when swapping out a faulty wireless unit. If one of the
wireless units is replaced on a wireless link a configuration file captured from the faulty unit
can be uploaded into the new unit to speed up replacement.
NOTE: The licence key of the faulty unit should be setup on the replacement unit before the
configuration file is loaded. This can be obtained either from the Quick Start Guide supplied
with the faulty wireless unit or directly from Motorola. The target MAC address at the other
end needs to be changed to ensure that it is using the MAC address of the replaced unit.
The restoration of configuration files can be performed using the Restore configuration tool.
Using the browser button to locate the configuration file you wish to restore then click the
‘Restore Configuration File and Reboot’ button (Figure 60). The user will then be prompted to
confirm the action (Figure 61)

Apply the new configuration
Restart
After the unit has restarted the entire configuration from the configuration file will now be
active. Note: The IP address of the unit may have also been changed. The user can check
the new IP address by reading the header of the configuration file, Figure 59.

Telecoms Configuration Page
The Telecoms page is only available when the Telecoms Interface has been set to either T1
or E1 in the Installation Wizard.
It displays the interface setting and line code for the available telecoms channels. The PTP
600 Series Bridge is able to support two T1 or E1 channels. However, in the “Lite”
configuration one of these channels is disabled. The channels are referred to as "Channel A"
and "Channel B".
The "Channel B" configuration and controls will be displayed only when the second channel is
enabled.
Figure 62 - Telecoms Data Entry
Telecoms Interface: May be either T1, E1 reflecting the Installation Wizard setting.
Line Code: Displays the Line Code setting for each channel. The Line Code configuration
must match the configuration of the connected equipment and may be set using the
Installation Wizard.
142
8 Web Page Reference
Cable Length: The Cable Length setting is applicable in T1 mode only and shows the cable
length specified in the installation wizard.
Loopback: Allows the T1 or E1 data stream to be looped back at the copper or wireless
interface. During normal operation the loopback must be set to "None".
It may be helpful during installation to test the telecoms links by performing loopback
connections.
A "Copper" loopback connects the received data on a given telecoms interface to the
Transmit. A "Copper" loopback may be used, in conjunction with an appropriate test unit, to
confirm that the correct connections have been made to the ODU.
A "Wireless" loopback sends the telecoms data received across the wireless link back across
the link on the same Telecom channel. The link may be checked using, for example, a Bit
Error Rate Tester to ensure that no errors are detected.
A typical T1 or E1 installation might include a "Copper" loopback on the local unit followed by
a "Wireless" loopback on the remote unit.
It is important to remove all loopbacks on channels for normal operation.
Alarms on the Home Page indicate the presence of loopbacks on either channel.

CAUTION: The factory default configuration is limited in range to 40 Km (25 miles). If you
wish to install a wireless link with a range of > 40 Km (> 25 miles) and < 200 Km (< 124 miles)
or < 5 Km (< 3 miles) you must follow the ‘Manually Configuring The Wireless Units’ in
Section 8.3.4.1.
CAUTION: The factory default configuration is set to Region 1. Region 1 allows the 600
Series bridge a maximum transmit power of 25 dBm. If the local regulatory regime limits the
maximum transmit power (EIRP) to less than 25 dBm you should obtain a new license key
containing the correct region code from your local distributor or direct from Motorola.
Alternatively in the short term, you should reduce the maximum transmit power by following
the procedures in ‘Manually Configuring The Wireless Units’ in Section 8.3.4.1.
8.3.4.1
Manually Configuring The Wireless Units
If the installer / system administrator wishes, they may modify the default installation
configuration. If only the IP addresses (network configuration) are incorrect it is recommended
that the values are changed via the configuration menu (Section 8.3.1.2 “LAN Configuration
Page”).
CAUTION: If any other parameters (for example Region Code) require modification, then it is
recommended that the system administrator use the Installation Wizard.
A detailed description of the Installation Wizard follows:
The 600 Series bridge operational software requires a license key to enable the wireless
bridging capability and programs region code specific parameters in to the unit.

Figure 65 - License Key Data Entry
A license key is programmed into each unit during production and can be found written on the
Configuration Data Summary Label which is attached to the Quick Install Guide. If
subsequently the license key has been mislaid, replacement keys can be applied for online or
via your distributor.
If a valid license key is not detected in the unit’s non-volatile memory then the user is
prompted to enter a valid key. It should be noted that 600 Series bridge units are shipped as
link pairs and, as such, valid license keys are entered during the production process. To enter
a license key simply type or paste the license key into the data entry box (Figure 65) and click
the ‘validate license key’ button.

Internet Protocol Configuration
Step 1 of the installation wizard requires the installer to enter the Internet Protocol (IP)
configuration.
Figure 66 - Installation Wizard Internet Protocol Configuration
IP Address: Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet
protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network.
Subnet Mask: A subnet allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be segregated
based on a network configuration. By organizing hosts into logical groups, subnetting can
improve network security and performance.
Gateway IP Address: The IP address of a computer / router on the current network that acts
as a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance / exit to packets from / to other networks.
Use VLAN Management Interface: Controls whether the management interfaces
(HTTP/SNMP/SMTP/SNTP) use a VLAN. Selecting this option presents the user with extra
fields in which to enter the Management VLAN ID, Priority and whether to validate the VLAN
ID. If the user modifies this control, a warning dialog is displayed see Figure 67.

Telecoms Interface
If the telecoms interface is configured to either T1 or E1 then Step 1 of the installation wizard
contains additional configuration fields.
Figure 68 - Telecoms Configuration Interface
The additional E1 or T1 fields are:
Telecoms Channel Selection: This controls the selection of the telecoms interface standard
supported options or T1 and E1.
Channel A Line Code: The line code setting of the telecoms interface. This must match the
setting of the device connected to this interface.
Channel B Line Code: The line code setting of the telecoms interface. This must match the
setting of the device connected to this interface.
Cable Length: This field is applicable to the T1 operating mode only. It configures the T1
transceiver to output a signal suitable for driving a cable of the specified length. This should
be set to reflect the length of cable between the wireless unit and the connected equipment.

Wireless Configuration
Step 2 of the installation wizard requires the installer to enter the wireless configuration
parameters. Figure 69 is an example of the Wireless Configuration screen.
Figure 69 –Wireless Configuration
156
8 Web Page Reference
The contents of the Wireless Configuration screen vary depending upon the PTP 600 variant
as follows:
PTP 25600: Frequency Band field is also displayed.
PTP 48600 and PTP 49600: Channel Bandwidth options are 20, 10 and 5 MHz.
PTP 49600: Lower Center Frequency is not displayed.
Screen contents also vary depending upon the options selected as follows:
If Spectrum Management Control is set to “Fixed Frequency”, the Lower Center
Frequency field is replaced by Fixed Tx Frequency and Fixed Rx Frequency.
If Platform Variant is set to “Connectorized”, Antenna Gain and Cable Loss are also
displayed. For more information about the configuration of connectorized PTP 600 units,
refer to Section 13.3 “Software/Features”.
See the field definitions below for more details.
Target MAC Address: This is the MAC Address of the peer unit that will be at the other end
of the wireless link. This is used by the system to ensure the unit establishes a wireless link to
the correct peer. The MAC Address can be found embedded within the serial number of the
unit. The last six characters of the serial number are the last three bytes of the unit’s MAC
address.
NOTE: A PTP 600 Series system is shipped as a pair of units with pre-loaded correct MAC
addresses. Target MAC addresses will only need to be entered if an existing unit has to be
replaced in the field or the units configuration has been erased.
Master Slave Mode: At this point it is necessary to decide which end will designate a Master.
The Master unit is the controlling unit with respect to the point-to-point link and its
maintenance. The master transmits until the link is made, while the Slave listens for its peer
and only transmits when the peer has been identified.
Link Mode Optimization: Optimizes the link behavior according to the type of traffic that will
be bridged. There are two modes to choose from: IP and TDM.
NOTE: In TDM mode it is recommended to reduce the Maximum Modulation Mode to 64QAM
0.75, but preferably to the minimum mode necessary to carry the required traffic.
157
8 Web Page Reference
In IP Mode, the PTP 600 product runs an Adaptive TDD scheme. Basically an unloaded link
runs 10:10 mode (10 OFDM bursts alternately in each direction). A sustained traffic load in
one direction for example may cause a threshold to be reached where the TDD mode
automatically adapts to say 20:10. If the load continues to increase, then the TDD structure
may adapt even further through 30:10 to 40:10. This is a state of maximum link asymmetry
(40 OFDM bursts in one direction compared with 10 in the other). If the load increases in
BOTH directions, then the TDD structure can adapt from 10:10, through 20:20, 30:30 and
finally 40:40. This is a state of maximum aggregate throughput. So if three out of these
combinations are considered; 10:10, 40:10 and 40:40 they would give the following
characteristics:
10:10 equal performance in each direction, lowest aggregate throughput and lowest
Latency.
40:10 achieves maximum one way throughput performance, to the detriment of both
latency and throughput in the opposite direction.
40:40 Maximum link aggregate rate, balanced performance in each direction, higher
latency.
NOTE: There is an engineering trade-off between the flexibility of ATDD and Latency as
follows: When the TDD structure changes, there will be a short term impact on Latency for a
few Frames. This would not affect the steady state long term average latency, but could be
recorded as a Maximum latency. This affect may be amplified for short Latency tests or if the
traffic loading is oscillating either side of a boundary condition. As the TDD burst length
increases, Traffic in each direction will have to wait longer before a Transmit window is
available, but more data can be sent during the burst. There is an impact on latency but it
varies depending upon installation range, Frame size and modulation mode.
In TDM mode, two major differences in link behavior occur compared with IP mode. First the
TDD structure is fixed symmetrically. Either 10:10, 20:20, 30:30 or 40:40 based upon the
installed range, as shown in Table 33.

Secondly, the point at which a modulation mode changes for given RF conditions is more
conservative. In practice, this means that the link will typically stay in a lower modulation
mode, but with increased tolerance to RF variability.
Depending upon the link characteristic that the customer requires, this may very well be the
best choice. It increases consistency of link performance and equality in each direction as a
trade-off against maximum throughput.
TDD Synchronization Mode: Enables the TDD Synchronization feature (see Section 5.12
“Time Division Duplex (TDD) Synchronization” for basic description and Section 14 “TDD
Synchronization Configuration and Installation Guide” for installation and configuration
details).
Tx Max Power: This attribute controls the maximum transmit power the unit is permitted to
use when installing and executing the wireless link. The maximum setting for a particular
region or country is controlled by the License Key.
Ranging Mode: During installation, the wireless units perform “Automatic Ranging”. The
ranging mode allows the installer to control the behavior of the system’s automatic ranging
algorithms. The default value is 0 to 40 km (0 to 25 miles). If the installer is required to install
a link of greater than 40 km (25 miles) then the ranging mode attribute MUST be configured
to ‘0 to 100km’ (0 to 62 miles) or ‘0 to 200km’ (0 to 124 miles) mode depending on the range
of the link.
NOTE: If preferred, PTP 600 Series Bridge range functions can be configured to operate in
miles, as described in Section 8.3.15 “Properties”.
Target Range: Installers that know the range between the two wireless units to within r 1 km
can use the target range mode. The main advantage of the target range mode is that it
reduces the time taken by the units to range. To use the target range mode the installer
MUST select Target Range as the ranging mode and enter the approximate range in km in
the Target range data entry field at both ends of the link.
Platform Variant: Chooses between an integrated unit or a connectorized unit that requires
an external antenna.
159
8 Web Page Reference
Frequency Band: Only displayed for the PTP 25600 product variant, which operates in one
of three bands as described in Section 5.4 “Variable Channel Bandwidth Operation”:
Lower: 2496 MHz to 2568 MHz
Middle: 2572 MHz to 2614 MHz
Upper: 2624 MHz to 2690 MHz
Channel Bandwidth: Users can choose a variable channel bandwidth for the available
spectrum. The selection depends upon the PTP bridge variant:
For PTP 25600, PTP 45600, PTP 54600, PTP 58600 and PTP 59600, Channel
Bandwidth may be 30, 15, 10 or 5 MHz.
For PTP 48600 and PTP 49600, Channel Bandwidth may be 20, 10 or 5 MHz.
Link Symmetry: (Master only) Values of Adaptive, 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2 can be selected. In fixed
symmetric mode, the master spends an equal amount of time transmitting and receiving
whereas in fixed asymmetric mode, the master transmit and receive times have a fixed ratio.
NOTE: (a) "Adaptive" is not supported in regions where radar avoidance is in use, (b)
"Adaptive" is not supported when link optimization is set to "TDM", (c) "Adaptive" is not
supported in 5 MHz channel bandwidth, (d) "2:1" and "1:2" are not supported in 5 MHz
channel bandwidth.
Spectrum Management Control: Is used to configure the PTP 600 Series Bridge’s
Spectrum Management features, see Section 8.3.7 “Spectrum Management” for more details.
i-DFS is the abbreviation for intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection. This feature continually
monitors the spectrum looking for the channel with the lowest level of on channel and cochannel interference. Fixed frequency mode allows the installer to fix transmit and receive
frequencies on the units. The frequencies may be configured symmetrically or
asymmetrically. Only 30MHz channels are available in regions that mandate DFS (Radar
Detection), and the Spectrum Management Control may not be available because the
regulations for some regions force DFS, others force fixed frequency (for example 2.5 GHz).
Lower Center Frequency: Not displayed for the PTP 49600. Not displayed when Spectrum
Management Control is set to “i-DFS”. The software for the PTP 600 Series Bridge allows a
user to optionally adjust the channel center frequencies. Changing the Lower Center
Frequency attribute causes all channel center frequencies to be offset. It effectively slides the
channelization up or down. See Sections 5.5 to 5.11, depending on the frequency variant.
NOTE: Because the 4.9 GHz spectrum is restricted by license, the Lower Center Frequency
is fixed for the PTP 49600 and is therefore not displayed.
160
8 Web Page Reference
CAUTION: The lower center frequency attribute must be configured to the same value for
both the master and slave. Failure to do so will cause the wireless link to fail reestablishment.
The only way to recover from this situation is to modify the Lower Center Frequency attribute
so that they are identical on both the master and slave unit.
Default Raster: If this is set to “On”, the list of options presented in the fixed Tx frequency
box is limited by the default raster.
Fixed Tx Frequency, Fixed Rx Frequency: Only displayed when Spectrum Management
Control is set to “Fixed Frequency”. The software for the PTP 600 Series Bridge allows a user
to optionally fix the Transmit and the Receive frequencies for a wireless link. The settings
must be compatible at each end of the link. Once configured, the spectrum management
software will not attempt to move the wireless link to a channel with lower co-channel or
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. Figure 70 shows an example fixed frequency configuration for a 30 MHz
channel bandwidth. In this example, the Fixed Transmit Frequency is set to 5742 MHz and
the Fixed Receive Frequency is set to 5742 MHz. Care must be taken when configuring the
Fixed Transmit and Receive Frequencies to ensure that both frequencies are on the same
channel raster as the Lower Center Frequency. For example, if the channel raster is 10 MHz,
both the Fixed Transmit and Receive Frequencies must be a multiple of 10 MHz from the
Lower Center Frequency (5752 = 5742 + 10 MHz) and (5782 = 5742 + 10 MHz u 3).
NOTE: A raster limits the selection of the Rx frequency based upon the setting of the Tx
frequency.
Tx Color Code, Rx Color Code: When co-channel interference is from another PTP 600, cochannel performance is improved by selecting different values for the Color Code attribute at
the victim and interfering links. For the vast majority of links, both Color Code parameters can
use the default value "A". The parameter only requires consideration when planning complex
networks. If the network planner deems that there is a significant level of co-channel
interference from a synchronized PTP 600, performance can be optimised by setting the
victim Rx Color Code and the interfering Tx Color Code to different values. Tx Color Code at
one end of the link must always be set to the same value as Rx Color Code at the other end
of the link. For more information, see Section 5.13 “Color Codes”.
NOTE: As long as the victim Rx Color Code and interferer Tx Color Code are different, the
same level of optimization will be achieved, that is, an A / B combination is as good as an A /
E combination.

Installation Tones: Where the use of audio installation tones is not required, this control
allows the installer to optionally disable the tone generator during the installation process.

When Section 8.3.4.5 “Confirm Configuration” is complete, the installation is armed and
rebooted. Pressing the “Disarm Installation Agent” button completes the installation process
and the audible installation tone will be switched off. If the installer wishes to modify the
installation configuration then the ‘Back’ link can be used to access the installation wizard
steps described above.
The installation process is completed when both ends of the link are ‘disarmed’.
After disarming the wireless link the user is presented with one of two possible configuration
pages, see Figure 74 and Figure 75. The screen presents hyperlinks to the main
configuration and spectrum management pages.

After installation the system administrator may wish to modify the wireless units descriptive
configuration (link name and link location). In addition the system administrator may wish to
change the spectrum management configuration of the wireless unit, or look at the analysis of
the 5.8 GHz spectrum to see if the automatic channel selection is appropriate for the system
administrator’s network. It is also recommended that a backup copy of the wireless units
configuration is taken. Hyperlinks are provided on the post disarm page for ease of use.

Graphical Install
To aid the installation of wireless links two graphical installation aids have been introduced in
this 600 Series system version.
A PDA installation screen
A larger installation screen available from the main HTTP management interface.
The design of the installation screen has been deliberately kept simple and uncluttered. An
example of the installation screen is shown in Figure 76. Both the PDA and the large format
installation screen have the same content and only differ in size. The PDA installation screen
is 232 by 220 pixels to be compatible with the typical size of a PDA screen.
Figure 76 – Graphical Installation Screen
The screen displays the receive power over the last three minutes. This will allow the installer
to slowly sweep the antenna during installation and monitor the variation in signal strength
with angular position. The screen automatically refreshes every three seconds.
The screen also displays the current state of the wireless link in two ways. First, the actual
state of the wireless link is written in the top left corner of the screen. The instantaneous
receive power bar also encodes the state of the wireless link using green to signify that the
wireless link is up and red for all other states.
167
8 Web Page Reference
For the more technically, aware the installation metric is simply the instantaneous receive
power in dBm + 100.
The PDA installation tool is accessed via a hidden URL http:///pda.cgi. It should
be noted that this link is only available after the user has logged in as system administrator.
The large screen version of the graphical user interface is available as a submenu option of
the installation wizard.
8.3.6
Software Upgrade
The 600 Series system has two software image banks; one is a fixed image which is stored in
protected non-volatile memory and cannot be modified by the user. The second bank is used
by the system administrator to upgrade the firmware when necessary. Figure 77 shows the
main software upgrade web page.
Figure 77 - Software Upgrade
The ‘Fixed’ or ‘Recovery’ image is used by the System Administrator to:
Reset Ethernet configuration to default settings
Erase Configuration
Upgrade software
For a full description of the Recovery image see Section 9 “Recovery Mode”.
168
8 Web Page Reference
The software upgrade pages are used to update a unit’s operational software. The software
image to be uploaded should be downloaded to local storage from the Motorola web site. The
software image is delivered by Motorola as a compressed zip file. Once the zip file has been
downloaded, the user should extract the PTP 600 Series Software image, identifiable by its
‘.dld’ file extension.
The first step (Figure 77) is to use the “Browse” button to locate the software image
previously downloaded to local storage from the Motorola web site. Once the image is
located, the user should press the Upload Software Image button to start the software
upgrade process.
RECOMMENDATION: During the software upgrade process, ensure that the remote end is
upgraded first using the wireless connection, and then the local end can be upgraded.
The software image will now be uploaded to the unit. This upload should only take a few
seconds. Once complete the image is verified and validated to ensure that no errors occurred
during transfer and that the image is valid to run on the current platform. If there are any
problems a warning screen will appear.
The unit being upgraded will now display information about the build it currently has stored in
the image bank and the one that’s just been uploaded. If the image is not the right one, the
user has the option to go back and reload a new image. (See Figure 78)
Figure 78 - Software Upgrade Image Check
169
8 Web Page Reference
The user should ensure that the correct image is shown before pressing the “Program
Software Image into Non-Volatile Memory” button. Once this button has been pressed the
image is stored into non-volatile memory, this process can take up to 60 seconds and must
not be interrupted.
CAUTION: If the upgrade process is interrupted during the erasure of the image bank, or
during the reprogramming of the image bank, the image bank will be left in a corrupt state. If
this occurs the software must be reloaded. All software images that are stored in non-volatile
memory are protected via the use of CRCs. If the software detects an invalid CRC the image
bank is marked as ‘corrupt’ and the 600 Series bridge boot code will boot the fixed software
image. If this occurs the user must attempt to reload the correct version of software.
During the write process the progress of the upgrade is displayed on the progress tracking
page (Figure 79). The upgrade process should not be interrupted. Interruption of this process
can result in a corrupt main software image, which will result in the recovery image been
booted at the next reset cycle.

Reboot the unit by clicking the “Reboot Wireless Unit” button. You will be asked to confirm
this action as shown in Figure 81.
Figure 81 - Reboot Confirmation Pop Up
This will reboot the unit, taking up to 120 seconds. During this time you will not be able to
communicate with the unit.
If you cannot communicate with the unit after 120 seconds, this could indicate a problem with
the memory update process. Under these circumstances the user should enter “Recovery
Mode”, see Section 9 “Recovery Mode”.
After the reboot the user should check that the required software image is loaded and
running.
NOTE: Please ensure that you are upgrading the correct units. Units cannot be downgraded.

8.3.7
Spectrum Management
Spectrum Management Selection is the PTP 600 Series Bridge feature that 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.
8.3.7.1
Wireless Channels
The PTP 600 Series Bridge operates using a set of predefined overlapping channels. There
are a different number of channels, depending on the raster mode selected. Each channel
occupies 30 MHz, 20 MHz, 15 MHz, 10 MHz or 5 MHz of wireless spectrum and is offset in
center frequency from its neighboring channel by 10 MHz or 6 MHz. It is important to note
that adjacent channels on the Spectrum management display have a 10 MHz or 6 MHz
overlap to the adjacent channel.
The default channelization can be modified by varying the lower center frequency attribute in
the installation wizard - see Section 8.3.4.4 “Wireless Configuration”. See Section 5.4
“Variable Channel Bandwidth Operation” and 5.10 “PTP 58600 Specific Frequency Planning
Considerations” for more detail.
8.3.7.2
Spectrum Management Measurements
The 600 Series Bridge performs two mean signal measurements per TDD cycle, per channel.
This mean measurement represents the mean received signal power for the 40 microseconds
measurement period.
The Spectrum Management algorithm collects measurements equally from all channels. This
process is called the Channel Availability Check (hereafter referred to by the acronym CAC).
The CAC uses a round-robin channel selection process to collect an equal amount of
measurements from each channel. It is important to note that 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.
8.3.7.3
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.
172
8 Web Page Reference
The analysis produces three key metrics for each channel:
Peak of Means
99.9% Percentile of the Means
Mean of Means
Peak of Means is the largest mean interference measurement encountered during the
quantization period. The peak of means is similar to the peak of peaks and is useful for
detecting slightly longer duration spikes in the interference environment.
99.9% Percentile of the Means is the value of mean interference measurement which 99.9%
of all mean measurements fall below, during the quantization period. The 99.9% percentile
metric is useful for detecting short duration repetitive interference that by its very nature has a
minimal effect of the mean of means.
Mean of Means is the arithmetic mean of the measured means during a quantization period.
The mean of means is a coarse measure of signal interference and gives an indication of the
average interference level measured during the quantization period. The metric is not very
good at predicting intermittent interference and is included to show the spread between the
mean of means, the 99.9% percentile and the peak of means.
NOTE: The arithmetic mean is the true power mean and not the mean of the values
expressed in dBm.
NOTE: Spectrum Management uses the 99.9% percentile as the prime interference
measurement. All subsequent references to interference level refer to this percentile
measurement.
The display of statistical measurement on the spectrum management page always shows a
statistical summary of all channel measurement. The statistical summary is controlled by the
Statistics Window attribute. This attribute defaults to a value of twenty minutes, which means
that the mean and percentile values displayed for each channel are calculated over the 20
minute period. All channel decisions are made using the values computed over the statistics
window period.
8.3.7.4
The Spectrum Management Master / Slave Relationship
The Spectrum Management operates in a master / slave relationship. The master is assumed
to be the link master configured during installation. All Spectrum Management configuration
changes MUST be performed from the master. To enforce this, the Spectrum Management
web page has a different appearance depending if you are viewing the data from the master
or slave.
173
8 Web Page Reference
All configuration changes are applied at the master only. These changes are then messaged
from the master to the slave. Any Spectrum Management configuration messages received at
the slave are stored in non-volatile memory. This enables both master and slave to keep
identical copies of Spectrum Management configuration data in their non-volatile memories. It
is therefore possible to swap master and slave roles on an active Point-to-Point link without
modifying Spectrum Management configuration.

should be noted that the key configuration attributes are not available on the slave web page.

8.3.7.5
Spectrum Management Configuration
The following section describes the user modifiable configuration accessible from the
Spectrum Management webpage. It is recommended that the default values are maintained.
If the user believes that the performance of the Spectrum Management algorithm requires
some modifications this should only be done after consulting your Motorola Point-to-Point
distributor or one of the system field support engineers.
Page Refresh Period: The page refreshes automatically according to the setting entered
here (in seconds).
Hopping Margin: Spectrum Management uses this margin when making a channel hop
decision. The target channel has to have an interference level 3 dB (default) better than the
current active channel.
Hopping Period (not configurable): The Spectrum Management algorithm evaluates the
metrics every ‘Hopping Period’ seconds (180 seconds by default) looking for a channel with
lower levels of interference. If a better channel is located, Spectrum Management performs
an automated channel hop. If SNMP or SMTP alerts are enabled an SNMP TRAP or an email
alert is sent warning the system administrator of the channel change.
Hopping Counter: is used to record the number of channel hops. The number in the “(+)”
brackets indicates the number of channel changes since the last screen refresh.
Interference Threshold: Spectrum Management uses the interference threshold to perform
instantaneous channel hops. If the measured interference on a channel exceeds the specified
threshold, then iDFS will instruct the wireless to immediately move to a better channel. If a
better channel cannot be found the 600 Series Bridge will continue to use the current active
channel. (Default –85 dBm)
Asymmetric DFS: The default configuration of symmetric operation constrains the link to
operate symmetrically, using the same transmit and receive channels. When in symmetric
mode the slave unit will always follow the master. If the master moves to a new channel the
slave will hop to the same channel. When the Point-to-Point link is configured as an
asymmetric link both the master and slave are free to select the best channel from their own
set of local interference metrics.
Channel Bandwidth (not configurable): shows the value of the variable channel bandwidth
selected.

Barring Channels
Channels can only be barred / unbarred by the system administrator from the master
Spectrum Management web page. The barring / unbarring operations are disabled on the
slave web page. If an attempt to bar / unbar a channel is made at the slave, a warning dialog
is generated.
Barring/Unbarring of channels is performed by clicking the appropriate channel on the local or
peer channel spectrum plots on the master web page. Each bar / unbar attempt will be
proceeded by a confirmation dialog. It should be noted that the channel bar will take effect
immediately and is not related to the measurement quantization period.
8.3.7.7
Master and Slave Channel Spectrum Graphics
Spectrum Management presents its computed statistical measurements in a graphical display
on both the master and slave Spectrum Management web page.
Figure 84 - Example Spectrum Management Graphic
The X-axis shows a stylized view of the 9 or 10 selectable wireless channels. It is important
to note that adjacent channels on the display have a 10 MHz overlap. The display separates
the display of channels to help the clarity of the resultant display. The axis is labeled using the
channel center frequencies in MHz.
The Y-axis shows the interference power levels from –100 to –40 dBm.
The active channel (channel 5 in Figure 84) is always marked using hatched green and white
lines. The width of the hatching is directly proportional the channel bandwidth spectral
occupancy of the channel.
The individual channel metrics are displayed using a colored bar and an ‘I’ bar.

Active Channel History
The active channel history is a time series display of the channels used by the PTP 600
Series Bridge over the last 25 hours. The active channel history is activated from the main
Spectrum Management page using the ‘Active Channel History’ hyperlink. An example of the
active channel history display is shown in Figure 85. Where there are parallel entries on the
display this signifies that the wireless link occupied this channel during the measurement
period. The measurement periods are one minute (from zero to sixty minutes) and twenty
minutes from (60 minutes to twenty five hours).

Spectrum Management (Fixed Frequency)
The PTP 600 Series Bridge software allows a user to optionally fix transmit and receive
frequencies for a wireless link. Once configured, the spectrum management software will not
attempt to move the wireless link to a channel with lower co and adjacent channel
interference. Therefore this mode of operation is only recommended for deployments where
the installer has a good understanding the prevailing interference environment. (See Section
8.3.4.4 “Wireless Configuration”). Care must also be taken to ensure that the frequency
allocations at each end of the link are compatible. To help the user when identifying the mode
of operation Spectrum Management uses two visual cues. See Figure 87. The main page title
identifies the mode of operation using the “Fixed Frequency Mode” postfix and the selected
channels are identified by a red capital ‘F’.
Figure 87 - Spectrum Management Fixed Frequency Screen
Channel barring is disabled in fixed frequency mode; it is not required as dynamic channel
hopping is prohibited in this mode.

The only controls available to the master are the Statistics Window and Interference
Threshold attributes. They will have no effect on the operation of the wireless link and will
only effect the generation of the channel spectrum graphics.
The active channel history menu is removed in this mode of operation as channel hopping is
prohibited.

8.3.11.1 Control Access to HTTP Interface
The attribute HTTP Access Enabled allows a user to stop any access to a unit via the web
interface. The default value for this control is set to “yes”, which means that the unit can be
accessed using the web interface. If the option “No” is selected, then a warning is displayed
as shown in Figure 93.
8.3.11.2 Control Access to Telnet Interface
The attribute HTTP Telnet Enabled allows a user to stop any access to a unit via the telnet
interface. The default value for this control is set to “yes”, which means that the unit can be
accessed using the telnet interface.
NOTE: If HTTP, Telnet and SNMP interfaces have been disabled, then the user needs to use
the Recovery image to reset IP & Ethernet Configuration back to factory defaults to re-enable
the HTTP-Telnet interfaces. SNMP can also be used to re-enable the other interfaces if
SNMP is enabled.
8.3.11.3 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

8.3.11.6 SNMP Configuration
SNMP State: The SNMP state attribute controls the creation of the SNMP features. Changing
the SNMP state attribute requires a mandatory reboot of the unit. Only when the SNMP state
is enabled at system start-up will the SNMP processor task be created.
SNMP Enabled Traps: The SNMP Enabled Traps attribute controls which SNMP Traps the
unit will send.
SNMP Community String: The SNMP community string acts like a password between the
networks SNMP management entity and the distributed SNMP clients (600 Series bridge).
Only if the community string is configured correctly on all SNMP entities can the flow of
management information take place. By convention the default value is set to ‘public’. When
the community string is changed the system requires a mandatory reboot before the new
string or phrase is adopted.
SNMP Port Number: Is the port the SNMP management agent is listening to for commands
from an SNMP manager. The default value for this port number is 161.
SNMP Trap IP Address: Is the address of either the network SNMP manager or Trap
receiver. When asynchronous events (traps in SNMP terminology) are generated, the client
unicasts these to this IP Address. When the address is changed the system requires a
mandatory reboot before the setting is adopted
SNMP Trap Port Number: The SNMP Trap Port Number is the port number of either the
networked SNMP manager or Trap receiver. By convention the default value for the port
number is 162. When the port number is changed the system requires a mandatory reboot
before the setting is adopted.
WiMAX Control: Enables and Disables the WiMAX (802.16) MIB. This control is only
displayed when ‘Fixed Frequency’ is selected during installation.
8.3.11.7 SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol)
The SMTP client is an alternative method for the 600 Series bridge to alert a system
administrator when there are or have been system errors
SMTP Email Alert: This attribute controls the activation of the SMTP client.
SMTP Enabled Messages: The SMTP Enabled Messages attribute controls which email
alerts the unit will send.
SMTP IP Address: The IP address of the networked SMTP server.
190
8 Web Page Reference
SMTP Port Number: The SMTP Port Number is the port number used by the networked
SMTP server. By convention the default value for the port number is 25.
SMTP Source Email Address: The email address used by the 600 Series to log into the
SMTP server. This must be a valid email address that will be accepted by your SMTP
Server.
SMTP Destination Email Address: The email address to which the 600 Series bridge will
send the alert messages.
8.3.11.8 SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)
The SNTP client allows the 600 Series to obtain accurate date and time updates from a
networked timeserver. The system time is used for SNMP and event logging.
SNTP State: When enabled, the Remote Management web page permits the following
attributes to be set:
SNTP IP Address: The IP address of the networked SNTP server.
SNTP Port Number: The port number of the networked SNTP server. By convention the
default value for the port number is 123.
SNTP Poll Interval: The period at which the SNTP client polls the server for time correction
updates. Default 1 hour. If for any reason an SNTP poll fails, the client will automatically
perform 3 retries before waiting for the user defined poll period.
Time Zone: The time zone is a fixed offset from GMT that is added to the SNTP time to allow
the expression of time in all geographic time zones.
Daylight Saving: Allows a fixed offset of one hour to be added to the SNTP time in order to
reflect the local daylight saving time.
8.3.11.9 Setting the clock
The PTP 600 Series bridge has a system clock which can be used to supply accurate date
and time information in the absence of a SNTP server. The system clock is battery backed
and will continue to operate for several days if the 600 Series bridge has been switched off.
SNTP State: If the SNTP State is set to “Disabled”, see Figure 92, then the Remote
Management web page allows the following attributes to be set:
Set Time: Shows the current time in 24 hour mode. The three editable fields display hours
minutes and seconds.
191

Set Date: Displays the current date. The year, month and day can be set using the dropdown selection boxes.
Time Zone: See Section.8.3.11.9 “Setting the clock”.
Daylight Saving: See Section 8.3.11.9 “Setting the clock”
8.3.12 Diagnostics
To further enhance the diagnostic capabilities of the PTP 600 Series, the storage of link
performance histograms has been extended to 31. To optimize RAM (volatile memory) usage
a cascading histogram approach has been adopted. The root histogram is identical to the
histograms in earlier releases of the software, that is data is stored for one hour at a
resolution of one second. Previously, the histograms were simple cyclic buffers which never
stored more that the last one hour of data. The new cascading histogram approach daisy
chains multiple histograms together. When the first histogram fills up the overflow from the
first is used as an input to the next histogram in line. To optimize memory utilization, a
statistical analysis is performed on the overflow to reduce the amount of data to be stored. In
the case of the PTP 600 Series the cascading histograms are defined as:
Histogram 1: 1 hour at a resolution of 1 second
Histogram 2: 24 hours at a resolution of 1 minute
Histogram 3: 30 Days at a resolution of 1 hour
For example, when histogram 1 fills up and starts to overflow the first minute of overflow is
analyzed and the maximum, minimum and mean over that minute are computed and inserted
into histogram 2. When histogram 2 fills up and starts to overflow the first hour of overflow is
analyzed and the maximum, minimum and mean over that hour is computed and inserted into
histogram 3. When histogram 3 starts to overflow, the overflow data is simply discarded.

8.3.12.1 Diagnostic Plotter
New for the PTP 600 Series is the system administration diagnostic plotter facility see Figure
95.
Figure 95 - Diagnostic Plotter
The diagnostic plotter allows the system administrator to view the cascading histogram data
in an easily accessible graphical form. The plot always displays three traces, maximum,
minimum and mean by default. The diagnostic selector allows the user to select the various
categories of histogram.
The histograms that are available are:
Vector Error

10 Lightning Protection
CAUTION: EMD (Lightning) damage is not covered under standard warranty. The
recommendations in this user manual, when implemented correctly, give the user the best
protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor
possible.
10.1
Overview
The purpose of lightning protection is to protect structures, equipment and people against
lightning by conducting the lightning current to ground via a separate preferential solid path.
The following should be treated as a guide only. The actual degree of lightning protection
required depends on local conditions and weather patterns and applicable local regulations.
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.
10.1.1 Lightning Protection Zones
The installation of the ODU can be classified into two different lightning protection zones:
Zone A: In this zone a direct lighting strike is possible.
Zone B: In this zone a direct lightning strike is unusual, but the un-attenuated
electromagnetic eld is still present.
The zones are determined using the ‘rolling sphere method’, an imaginary sphere, typically 50
meter in radius is rolled over the structure. All structure points that contact the sphere, (Zone
A) indicate the zone where a direct strike is possible. Similarly points that do not contact the
sphere indicate a zone (zone B) where a direct strike is less likely.
208
10 Lightning Protection
The following diagrams (Figure 116 & Figure 117) show this zoning pictorially:
Equipment mounted in Zone A should be capable of carrying the full lightning current.
Mounting of the ODU in Zone A is not recommended. Mounting in Zone A should only be
carried out observing the rules governing installations in Zone A Failure to do so may put
structures, equipment and life at risk.
NOTE: Local regulations may also require the fitting of the 8 AWG ground wire referred
below.
Equipment mounted in Zone B should be grounded using grounding wire of at least 10 AWG.
This grounding wire should be connected to a grounding rod or the building grounding system
before entry in to building.
The PTP 600 Series bridge ODU grounding point can be found on the bottom of the unit. The
600 Series Bridge is supplied with an appropriate grounding lug for attachment to the ODU.

11 Troubleshooting (Fault Finding)
11 Troubleshooting (Fault Finding)
Perform troubleshooting (fault finding) procedures either on a newly installed link, or on an
operational link if communication is lost:
1. Test the hardware at one end of the link, as described in Section 11.1 “Test Link End
Hardware”.
2. Test the hardware at the other end of the link, as described in Section 11.1 “Test Link
End Hardware”.
3. Test the radio link, as described in Section 11.2 ”Test Radio Link”.
11.1
Test Link End Hardware
When the link end hardware (PIDU, LPU, ODU and cabling) has been installed, start it by
following this procedure:
1. Connect the RJ45 from the ODU (or LPU if fitted) to the PIDU and apply mains or
battery power to the PIDU. The green Power LED should illuminate continuously.
2. After 45 seconds, the yellow Ethernet LED should be observed starting with 10 slow
flashes.
3. Connect the RJ45 from the LAN port of the PIDU to the network. The yellow Ethernet
LED should blink randomly as traffic passes through.
If the Power and Ethernet LEDs do not illuminate correctly, test the link end as described in
the flowchart (Figure 130).
NOTE: The flowchart contains references to the detailed test procedures 11.1.1 to 11.1.7.

11 Troubleshooting (Fault Finding)
11.1.1 Power LED is Off
If the green Power LED does not light up at all, perform the following tests:
1. Remove the power lead from the PIDU and test that the power source (mains or 56 V
battery) is working.
2. If the main or battery power supply is working, open the flap on the left hand side of
the PIDU and remove the RJ45 ODU cable from the PIDU.
3. If the Power LED does not illuminate when the RJ45 ODU cable is removed:
i. Measure the voltage across the +55 V and 0 V pads inside the PIDU flap. An
incorrect reading indicates that the PIDU is short-circuited.
ii. Measure the impedance across the Power connector. An incorrect reading
indicates that the PIDU is short-circuited.
iii. If both of the above tests are successful, it is likely that the PIDU Power LED
is faulty.
4. If the Power LED does illuminate when the RJ45 ODU cable is removed:
i. Remove the jumper (J906) found inside the PIDU flap.
ii. Measure the current with an ammeter placed across the two jumper pins. It
should be 10 mA with the ODU disconnected. An incorrect ammeter reading
indicates that the PIDU is faulty.
5. If all tests so far have succeeded:
i. Reconnect the RJ45 ODU cable to the PIDU.
ii. Measure the current with an ammeter placed across the two jumper pins. It
should be in the range 300 mA to 1 A with the ODU connected.
iii. If the ammeter reading is too high, the ODU may be drawing too much
power, or the ODU may be short-circuited.
iv. If the ammeter reading is too low, the PIDU may be supplying too little power.
226
11 Troubleshooting (Fault Finding)
11.1.2 Power LED is Flashing
If the green Power LED flashes, perform the following tests on the RJ45 cable that connects
the PIDU to the LPU or ODU:
1. Check that pins 4&5 and 7&8 are not crossed with pins 1&2 and 3&6.
2. Check that the resistance between pins 1&8 is greater than 100K ohms.
3. If either test fails, replace or repair the RJ45 cable.
11.1.3 Ethernet LED did not Flash 10 Times
When the PIDU is connected to the power supply and the green Power LED illuminates, there
should be a 45 second delay, following which the yellow Ethernet LED should flash 10 times.
If the Ethernet LED did not flash 10 times, perform the following tests on the RJ45 cable that
connects the PIDU to the LPU or ODU:
1. Check that the wiring to pins 4&5 and 7&8 is correct. For example, the wiring to pins
4 and 7 may be crossed.
2. If an LPU is installed, it can be used to check that power is available on the cable to
the ODU. The connections can be accessed by rotating the LPU lid as shown in
Figure 131 The Lid nut only needs to be slacken, do not remove. Test point P1 on
the LPU PCB corresponds to pin 1 on the RJ45 etc. An indication of power on the
Ethernet cable is also provided inside the LPU: the LED PWR1 should illuminate but
LED PWR2 should not.
227
11 Troubleshooting (Fault Finding)
Figure 131 - PTP LPU Test Points
3. If either test fails, replace or repair the RJ45 cable.
11.1.4 No Ethernet Activity
If the Ethernet LED did flash 10 times but then went off, check that the RJ45 connection from
the LAN port of the PIDU to the PC is working. If the PC connection is working, perform the
following tests on the RJ45 cable that connects the PIDU to the LPU or ODU:
1. Check that the wiring to pins 1&2 and 4&6 is correct. For example, the wiring to pins
1 and 3 may be crossed.
2. If this test fails, replace or repair the RJ45 cable.
228
11 Troubleshooting (Fault Finding)
11.1.5 Irregular Ethernet Activity
The yellow Ethernet LED should blink randomly as normal traffic passes through. If the
Ethernet LED flashes irregularly, for example there is a short flash followed by a long flash,
this indicates that the ODU has booted in recovery mode. The causes may be installation
wiring or a corrupt ODU software load. For more information, see Section 9 “Recovery Mode”.
11.1.6 Connection is not 1000 BaseT
If the Ethernet connection to the network is only 10/100 BaseT, when 1000 BaseT is
expected, perform the following tests on the RJ45 cable that connects the PIDU to the LPU or
ODU:
1. Check that the wiring to pins 4&5 and 7&8 is correct. For example, the wiring to pins
4 and 7 may be crossed.
2. If this test fails, replace or repair the RJ45 cable.
11.1.7 Test RJ45 Resistance
If the above procedures fail to diagnose the issue, there may be a fault in the wiring of the
RJ45 cable that connects the ODU (or LPU) to the PIDU. Unplug this cable from the PIDU,
then perform the following test procedure:
1. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&2, 3&6, 4&5 and 7&8 at the RJ45. Check
against column 2 in Table 38. Resistances for each pair should be within 1 ohm of each
other.
2. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&3 and 4&7 at the RJ45. Check against
columns 3 and 4 respectively in Table 38.
3. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pins 1&8 for all cable lengths.
4. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 1 and ODU ground for all cable
lengths.
5. If GPS is not fitted, ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 8 and ODU
ground for all cable lengths. If GPS is fitted, ensure there is greater than 3K ohms
between pin 8 and ODU ground.

11.2.1 No Activity
If there is no communication over the radio link and the unit at the other end of the link can be
managed on its local network, the following procedure should be adopted:
If there is no wireless activity then the configuration should be checked. It is essential that the
following items are correct:
Check for Alarm conditions on Home page
Check that the software at each end of the link is the same version
Check that the Target Mac address has not been mis-configured at each end of the link
Check Range
Check Tx Power
Check License keys to ensure that both units are the same product variant
Check Master/Slave status for each unit and ensure that one unit is Master and the other
unit is slave
Check that the link has not been further obscured or the ODU misaligned
Check the DFS page at each end of the link and establish that there is a quiet wireless
channel to use.
If there are no faults found in the configuration and there is absolutely no wireless signal, retry
the installation procedure. If this does not work then the ODU may be faulty.
11.2.2 Some Activity
If there is some activity but the link is unreliable or does not achieve the data rates required
then:
Check that the interference has not increased using the i-DFS measurements
If a quieter channel is available check that it is not barred
Check that the path loss is low enough for the communication rates required
Check that the ODU has not become misaligned

12 Wind Loading
12 Wind Loading
12.1
General
Antennas and electronic equipment mounted on towers or pole mounted on buildings will
subject the mounting structure to significant lateral forces when there is appreciable wind.
Antennas are normally specified by the amount of force (in pounds) for specific wind
strengths.
The magnitude of the force depends on both the wind strength and size of the antenna.
12.2
Calculation of Lateral Force
The 600 Series bridge with or without the integral antenna is essentially a flat structure and so
the magnitude of the lateral force can be estimated from:
Force (in pounds) = 0.0042 . A . v
Where A is the surface area in square feet and v is the wind speed in miles per hour.
The lateral force produced by a single 600 Series bridge (integrated or connectorized model)
at different wind speeds is shown in Table 39 and Table 40.

NOTE: When the connectorized version of 600 Series bridge is used with external antennas,
the figures from the antenna manufacturer for lateral force should be included to calculate to
total loading on the mounting structure.
12.3
Capabilities of the PTP 600 Series Bridges
The structure and mounting brackets of the PTP Series systems are capable of withstanding
wind speeds up to 151mph (242 kph). The installer should ensure that the structure to which
the 600 Series Bridge is fixed to is also capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds
and loads.
12.4
Wind Speed Statistics
Installers are recommended to contact the national meteorological office for the country
concerned to identify the likely wind speeds prevalent at the proposed location. This will
enable the installer to estimate the total wind loading on the support structures.

This section details the changes and additional features relevant to the connectorized version
of the PTP 600 Series products..
13.2
Product Description
13.2.1 Hardware
The Connectorized PTP 600 Series Bridge is a variant designed to provide the system
integrator and installer with the ability to provide extra capability to cope with very difficult
radio links compared to the PTP 600 Series Integrated model. The variant allows the use of a
variety of externally mounted antennas, either Flat Plate or Dish, which have higher gains
than provided by the integrated antenna that is normally used.

Software/Features
This section only describes the areas where functionality is modified for the connectorized
variant. For details of the functionality that is common to the integrated and connectorized
variants, see Section 8 “Web Page Reference”.
13.3.1 Status Page
The link loss calculation presented on the Status Page of the management interface has to be
modified to allow for the increased antenna gains at each end of the link. The manufacturing
process of the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge configures the standard hardware of the unit
for use with external antennas. The installer is prompted, as part of the installation process, to
enter the gain of the external antenna(s) and cable losses at each end of the link.
Peer-to-peer messaging is used to pass the effective antenna gain to each end of the link so
that the link loss calculations can be correctly computed.

Spectrum Management Control: Is used to configure the 600 Series Bridge Spectrum
Management features, see Section 8.3.7 “Spectrum Management” for more details. iDFS is
the abbreviation for intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection, which continually monitors the
spectrum looking for the channel with the lowest level of on channel and co-channel
interference. Fixed frequency mode allows the installer to fix the Transmit and receive
frequencies on the units. The frequencies may be configured symmetrically or
asymmetrically.

EIRP: The Confirm Installation Page displays the EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power),
which describes the strength of the radio signal leaving the wireless unit. This allows the
operator to verify that their link configuration (Max Transmit Power, Antenna Gain and Cable
Loss) do not cause the link to exceed any applicable regulatory limit.

13.4
Deployment Considerations
The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the 600 Series. It should only be
necessary to use external antennas where the LINKPlanner indicates marginal performance
for a specific link – for example when the link is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an
NLOS link or extremely long LOS links (>80km or >50 miles) over water.
The external antennas can be either dual-polarization (as the integrated antenna) or two
single polarized antennas can be used in a spatially diverse configuration. It is expected that
the dual-polarization antennas would normally be used to simplify the installation process;
spatially diverse antennas may provide additional fade margin on very long LOS links where
there is evidence of correlation of the fading characteristics on Vertical and Horizontal
polarizations.
13.5
Link Budget
An estimate of the link budget for a specific application can be obtained by using the Motorola
Systems link estimation tools. For more information see the Motorola web site.
13.6
Regulatory Issues with Connectorized Units
Installations must conform to any applicable local regulations for the Equivalent Isotropic
Radiated Power (EIRP).
Ensuring compliance becomes more complex when the connectorized unit is used with
external antennas which may be locally sourced. With higher gain external antennas fitted,
the Maximum Transmit power may need to be reduced for operation in specific countries.
In some regions, operation of the PTP 600 products is constrained by EIRP limits. For more
information on these limits, see Section 5.2 “Licenses and Region Codes”.
When operating with external antennas, the installer/operator has to set the maximum
transmit power to ensure that the EIRP limit is not exceeded. Use this formula:
Maximum Transmit Power Allowed = EIRP Limit – Antenna Gain + Cable Losses
Set the power to the 1dB value lower than the actual value calculated.

13.6.1
Cable Losses (FCC Regions Only)
The FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the units of not
less than 1.2dB at 5.8GHz. The use of lower cable losses would result in the installation
being outside the FCC rules.
As an indication, 1.2dB of cable loss corresponds to the following cable lengths excluding
connector losses (source: Times Microwave).

13.6.2 Antenna Choices
In non-FCC regions, antenna choice is not restricted, but any region specific EIRP limit must
be obeyed by reducing the maximum Transmit power, see Section 5.2 “Licenses and Region
Codes”.
In FCC regions, antenna choice is restricted as described in Section 13.6.3 “FCC Antenna
Restrictions on the PTP 58600” and Section 13.6.4 “FCC Antenna Restrictions on the PTP
54600”.
The maximum permitted antenna gain depends upon product variant and channel bandwidth
as follows:
PTP 49600: 26 dBi
PTP 58600: 37.7 dBi
PTP 54600 at channel bandwidth 30, 15 or 10 MHz: 34.9 dBi
PTP 54600 at channel bandwidth 5 MHz: 33.4dBi
241
13 Connectorized PTP 600 Series Bridge
13.6.3 FCC Antenna Restrictions on the PTP 58600
In FCC regions, external antennas from the list in Table 42 can be used with the
Connectorized version of the PTP 600 Series Bridge. These are approved by the FCC for use
with the product and are constrained by the following limit for Single/Dual Polarization
Parabolic Dish Antennas: up to 37.7 dBi per polarization or antenna.
In FCC regions when using external antennas, cable loss between the connectorized version
of the PTP 600 Series Bridge and the antenna ports must not be less than 1.2 dB.
CAUTION: Antennas not included in this table, or those having a gain greater than the
specified maximum, are strictly prohibited for use with the PTP 58600. The required antenna
impedance is 50 ohms.

13.6.4 FCC Antenna Restrictions on the PTP 54600
In FCC regions, external antennas from the list in Table 43 can be used with the
Connectorized version of the PTP 54600. These are approved by the FCC for use with the
product and are constrained by the following limit for Single/Dual Polarization Parabolic Dish
Antennas: up to 34.9 dBi (33.4 dBi for 5 MHz bandwidth) per polarization or antenna.
However, the Maximum Transmit Power must be reduced to avoid exceeding the EIRP limits.
In FCC regions when using external antennas, cable loss between the connectorized version
of the PTP 600 Series Bridge and the antenna ports must not be less than 1.2 dB.
CAUTION: Antennas not included in this table, or those having a gain greater than the
specified maximum, are strictly prohibited for use with the PTP 54600. The required antenna

13.7
Installation
The section covers the generic installation instructions for the Connectorized versions of the
PTP 600 Series point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges. The actual installation procedure will
depend on antenna choice, cable choice, required antenna separation etc.
13.7.1 Antenna Choice
Section 13.6.3 “FCC Antenna Restrictions on the PTP 58600” and Section 13.6.4 “FCC
Antenna Restrictions on the PTP 54600” show a wide variety of antennas that can be used
with the Connectorized PTP 600 Series bridge. The main selection criteria will be the required
antenna gain. The secondary criteria should be the ease of mounting and alignment. For
example the Radio Waves Parabolic dishes are supplied with a mount that allows adjustment
for alignment independent of the actual antenna mounting. This type of antenna is much
easier to align than those that have to be rotated around the mounting pole for alignment.
13.7.2 Cables and Connectors
Cables should be selected using the above criteria. However it should be noted that a cable
of a type similar to LMR400 is a lot more difficult to handle and route than a cable of a type
similar to LMR100.
Motorola recommends the use of weatherproof connectors -- preferably, ones that come
supplied with adhesive lined heat shrink sleeve that is fitted over the cable/connector
interface.
The connectors required at the Connectorized 600 Series bridge end of the antenna cables
are N-Type Male.
The connectors required at the antenna end of the antenna cables is dependant on the
antenna type chosen.
13.7.3 Tools
The tools required for mounting a Connectorized 600 Series bridge unit are the same as
those required for an Integrated 600 Series bridge detailed in Section 7.3 “Tools Required”.
The tools required for mounting the antennas are specific to the antenna chosen. The installer
should refer to the antenna manufacturer’s instructions.
249
13 Connectorized PTP 600 Series Bridge
13.7.4 Miscellaneous supplies
The following miscellaneous supplies will be required:
Cable ties, cable cleats – for securing cables
Self-amalgamating tape – to weatherproof the RF connectors
PVC tape – for additional protection of the RF connectors and securing cables
13.7.5 Mounting the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge
A Connectorized 600 Series bridge is shipped with the same bracket as supplied with an
Integrated unit. Details on the use of this bracket can be found in Section 3.3.7 “Mounting
Brackets”. The 600 Series Bridge should be mounted in a position that gives it maximum
protection from the elements, but still allows easy access for making off the various
connections and applying the recommended weatherproofing.
When using dual polar antennas the Connectorized 600 Series bridge should be mounted in
such a position as to minimize the cable length, keeping losses to a minimum (taking into
account the minimum cable lengths required by the FCC regulations, see Section 13.6.3
“FCC Antenna Restrictions on the PTP 58600”.
When using separate antennas the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge should be mounted in
such a position as to minimize both cable runs between the unit and the antennas. It is not
necessary to mount the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge at the mid point between the
antennas.
13.7.6 Mounting the antennas
The Antennas should be mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Actual
antenna position will depend on the available mounting positions and link requirements. It
may be necessary to mount the antennas 20m apart or at a certain distance from the ground
to get the desired results.
250
13 Connectorized PTP 600 Series Bridge
13.7.7 Alignment Process
When aligning antennas deployed with a Connectorized 600 Series bridge unit it may not be
possible to hear the alignment tone emanating from the unit. In this case it may be necessary
for a second installer to assist in the operation. Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the
tube on the supplied stethoscope to give a longer reach.
Recommendation: Fine antenna alignment can sometimes be achieved by tightening and
loosening the bolts on either side of the antenna mounting bracket, rather than trying to turn
the whole bracket on the mounting pole.
13.7.8 Aligning Dual Polar Antennas
The process for aligning a dual polar antenna is the same as aligning an Integrated unit with
an integrated antenna. This procedure is detailed in Section 7.7.11 “Aligning the PTP 600
Series Bridge ODUs”.
13.7.9 Aligning Separate Antennas
When using separate antennas to achieve spatial diversity, one should be mounted with
Horizontal polarization and the other with Vertical polarization.
The following steps should be followed:
Step 1: Mount the Antennas
Step 2: Mount the connectorized version of the PTP 600 Series Bridge unit
Step 3: Route and make off the ends of the Antenna cables
Step 4: Connect the antenna cables at the antennas
Step 5: Connect one of the antenna cables at the Connectorized version of the 600 Series
bridge unit.
Step 6: Connect the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge ODU to PIDU Plus cable and
configure the unit as described in Section 7.7 “Connecting Up”.
Step 7: Align the connected antenna using the tones as described in Section 7.7.11 “Aligning
the PTP 600 Series Bridge ODUs”.
Step 8: Connect the other antenna to the Connectorized 600 Series bridge.
Step 9: Disconnect the cable to the already aligned antenna.
251
13 Connectorized PTP 600 Series Bridge
Step 10: Align the second antenna using the tones as described in Section 7.7.11 “Aligning
the PTP 600 Series Bridge ODUs”.
Step 11: Re-connect the second antenna to the Connectorized 600 Series bridge (Note: you
will notice the tone pitch increase as you re-connect the second antenna due to the additional
received signal).
Step 12: Use the relevant status web pages to check that you are getting the results you
expect from your link planning.
Step 13: Complete the installation as detailed below.
13.7.10 Completing the Installation
The installation should be completed by checking all mounting nuts bolts and screws,
securing all cables and weatherproofing the installation.
CAUTION: Finally tightening the antenna mountings may cause the antenna alignment to be
altered, due to distortion in the mounting bracket caused by action of tightening. It is
recommended that the installation tone be left turned on (armed) during this process so that
any movement can be noticed and counteracted by tightening the other side of the bracket.
13.7.11 Antenna Cable Fixing
Cables should be secured in place using cable ties, cleats or PVC tape. Care should be
taken to ensure that no undue strain is placed on the connectors on both the Connectorized
600 Series bridge and the Antennas and also to ensure that the cables do not flap in the
wind. Flapping cables are prone to damage and induce unwanted vibrations in the mast to
which the units are attached.
252
13 Connectorized PTP 600 Series Bridge
13.7.12 Antenna Connection Weatherproofing
Where a cable connects to an antenna or unit from above, a drip loop should be left to ensure
that water is not constantly channeled towards the connector.
Figure 138 - Forming a Drip Loop
All joints should be weatherproofed using self-amalgamating tape. It is recommended that a
layer of PVC tape be placed over the self-amalgamating tape to protect the joint while the
self-amalgamating tape cures and gives additional protection. Figure 139 shows this
diagrammatically for the 600 Series bridge end of the antenna cables. If the antenna
manufacturer has not supplied guidance on this matter, the same technique should be
employed at the antenna end of the cable.
Figure 139 - Weatherproofing the Antenna Connections
253
13 Connectorized PTP 600 Series Bridge
13.8
Additional Lightning Protection
The following guidelines should be applied in addition to those described in Section 10
”Lightning Protection”.
13.8.1 ODU Mounted Outdoors
Where the ODU is mounted outdoors and is mounted some distance from the antenna, it is
advisable to add additional grounding by utilizing Andrew Assemblies (such as Andrew Type
223158 www.andrew.com) as shown in Figure 140.
Figure 140- Additional Grounding When Using Connectorized Units
254
13 Connectorized PTP 600 Series Bridge
13.8.2 ODU Mounted Indoors
Where the ODU is mounted indoors, lightning arrestors should be deployed where the
antenna cables enter the building as shown in Figure 141.
Figure 141 - Lightning Arrestor Mounting
The lighting arrestors should be ground bonded to the building ground at the point of entry.
Motorola recommends Polyphaser LSXL-ME or LSXL lighting arrestors. These should be
assembled as show in Figure 142.

14 TDD Synchronization Configuration and Installation Guide
14.1
Introduction
When planning a network of links, a key consideration is the interference that exists between
the links. TDD synchronization is a feature which eliminates two specific interference
mechanisms, namely interference between Master and Master and interference between
Slave and Slave.
One example which highlights the need for TDD synchronization is the case where a number
of links are required from a single mast. Without TDD synchronization, high levels of
interference will occur between the units on the mast due to their close proximity. By enabling
TDD synchronization, interference between these units is eliminated if all are of the same
type. The recommendation is for all units on a mast to be configured as Masters. The
maximum number of links on a mast depends on the customer requirements such as required
throughput, link availability, available spectrum, maximum EIRP, bandwidth, channel
separation and the longest link. However, in some cases, it may even be possible to re-use
radio channels on the same mast which would not be possible without TDD synchronization.
In summary, by eliminating interference between units of a like type, TDD synchronization
increases network capacity by increasing frequency re-use and increasing the density of links
across the network.
This section will cover the two steps required to enable TDD synchronization:
Physical installation of the GPS Synchronisation Unit. This will include wiring diagrams,
illustrations showing the placement of the GPS box and the recommended components
for installation.
The latter will describe the step by step configuration process using the Web interface.

14.2.2 TDD Synchronization Configuration - Standard Mode
When TDD Synchronization is enabled, there is an extra installation screen (“TDD
Synchronization”) as shown in Figure 148.
Figure 148 - Configuring TDD Synchronization – Screen 1
The TDD Synchronization screen provides the following controls:
Expert Mode: Select “Yes” to use “Expert Mode”. This is an option recommended only for
experienced network and cell planners and is outside the scope of this document (see Figure
150 for parameters required to configure in this mode). If “Expert Mode” is not selected, then
the user is required to enter some basic information to allow the software to calculate the best
values for Frame Duration and Burst Duration.
Longest Link in Network: Default value is 100 kms (60 miles). It is the distance of the
longest link in the network (maximum is 200 kms or 120 miles).

Bandwidths in Network: It is very likely that there will be several different channel
bandwidths in a given network. Table 44 gives a list of bandwidth combinations that permit
synchronization without gross loss of efficiency. Depending on the channel bandwidth size,
only subsets of Table 44 will be shown in the configuration wizard screen.

Collocated Masters: The network needs to be configured differently depending on whether
all masters for which interference can potentially occur are collocated or whether interference
needs to be considered for masters which are not collocated. Answer “Yes” to this question if
master to master interference only occurs between collocated masters, otherwise answer
“No”. If “No” is selected, the maximum distance between masters which can potentially
interfere is required. This is the subject of the next bullet.
Master to Master Range: This is only displayed (see Figure 138.) if the answer to the above
question was “No”. In this case, the longest distance over which two masters can interfere
must be entered here. Maximum range is 200 km (120 miles).
Slave Interfere: Select “No” if there is no potential of a slave interfering with another slave.
Select “Yes” if there is potential for one slave to interfere with another slave. If the option
“Yes” is selected, then the maximum distance between slaves which can potentially interfere
is required. This is the subject of the next bullet.
Slave to Slave Range: This is only displayed (see Figure 138.) if the answer to the above
question was “Yes”. In this case, the longest distance over which two slaves can interfere
must be entered here. Maximum range is 200 km (120 miles).

throughput can be increased by entering the exact range of each link in the wizard.
TDD Holdover Mode: Two values: “Strict” and “Best Effort”. If a PTP 600 master ODU is
configured for a TDD Holdover Mode set to “Strict”, then it will not transmit when
synchronization is lost. On the other hand, a link configured for TDD Holdover Mode set to
“Best Effort” will synchronize when a reference signal is available, but will otherwise use best
efforts to operate in unsynchronized fashion.
Figure 149 - Configuring TDD Synchronization Feature - Screen 2
CAUTION: the values entered for the controls in Figure 149 MUST be the same for
master/slave pairs for all the links in the network, except for the attribute “Range of This Link”
which can be entered exactly for better performance.

15.4
Fitting a Lightning Protection Unit
If you have opted to fit a Lightning Protection Unit, it should be installed as described in
Section 10 “Lightning Protection”.
15.5
Customer Cable Termination
The two channels can be separated by means of a patch panel which may include Baluns for
transmission over 75 Ohm co-axial unbalanced lines. Such equipment should conform to the
requirements of C.C.I.T.T. G703. An example of a Balun is shown below. It allows the
transmit and receive data carried over a 75 Ohm cable to be converted to a balanced form for
transmission over a 120 Ohm signal balanced twisted pair.

16 Data Rate Calculations
The data rate capacity of a PTP link is defined as the maximum end-to-end ethernet
throughput that it can support. Use the tables and graph in this section to calculate the data
rate capacity that can be provided by alternative PTP 600 configurations. It is assumed that
ethernet frames are 1500 octet.
Data rate capacity is determined by the following factors:
16.1
Product variant (PTP 600 Full or Lite)
Link Symmetry
Link Mode Optimization (IP or TDM)
Modulation Mode
Channel Bandwidth
Link Range
Calculation Procedure and Example
16.1.1 Procedure
To calculate the data rate capacity of a PTP 600 link, follow this procedure:
1. Use the tables in Section 16.2 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
2. The tables in Section 16.2 contain data rates for PTP 600 Full only. If the ODUs are PTP
600 Lite, divide the data rates in Section 16.2 by 2.
3. The tables in Section 16.2 contain data rates for links of zero range. Use the curves in
Section 16.3 to look up the Throughput Factor that must be applied to adjust the data
rates for the actual range of the link.
4. Multiply the data rates by the Throughput Factor to give the throughput capacity of the
link.
277
16 Data Rate Calculations
NOTE: There is a small difference between the rates for IP and TDM because there is
fragmentation in TDM (for low priority traffic) which causes the throughput to be reduced buy
approximately 1% compared to the IP mode.
16.1.2 Example
Suppose that the link characteristics are:
Product variant = PTP 600 Lite
Link Symmetry = 1:1
Link Mode Optimization = TDM
Modulation Mode = 64QAM 0.92 Dual
Channel Bandwidth = 10 MHz
Link Range = 60 km
Applying the calculation procedure:
1. Use Table 48 to look up the data throughput capacity rates:
Tx = 41.41 Mbits/s
Rx = 41.41 Mbits/s
Both = 82.81 Mbits/s
2. Divide these rates by 2 to give PTP 600 Lite rates:
Tx = 20.70 Mbits/s
Rx = 20.70 Mbits/s
Both = 41.40 Mbits/s
3. Use Figure 171 to look up the Throughput Factor for 1:1, TDM and Link Range 60 km.
The factor is 0.86.
4. Multiply the rates from Step 2 by the Throughput Factor from Step 3 to give the
throughput capacity of the link:
Tx = 17.80 Mbits/s
Rx = 17.80 Mbits/s
Both = 35.60 Mbits/s
278
16 Data Rate Calculations
16.2
Data Throughput Capacity
Table 47, Table 48, Table 49, Table 50 and Table 51 show the data throughput rates
(Mbits/s) that are achieved when two PTP 600 Full ODUs are linked and the link distance
(range) is 0 km. Use the curves in Section 16.3 to adjust these figures to allow for link range.
NOTE: When using these tables, be aware of the following points:
PTP 600 Lite data rates are half the PTP 600 Full rates given in this section.
Modulation Mode “256QAM 0.81 dual” is not available in all product variants and channel
bandwidths.
Throughput for Link Symmetry 2:1 is the same as that for 1:2, but the Tx and Rx data
rates are swapped.
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.

17 AES Encryption Upgrade
17 AES Encryption Upgrade
The Motorola PTP 600 Series bridges support link encryption using the NIST approved
Advanced Encryption Standard, HFIPS-197 H. This standard specifies AES (Rijndael) as a
UT
FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government
organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.
Link Encryption is not available in the standard PTP 600 Series system. A license key to
enable link encryption can be purchased from your Motorola Point-to-Point Distributor or
Solutions Provider. AES can be activated on receipt of the activation on the Motorola
Systems Support Page.
There are two levels of encryption that are available to purchase:
128-bit
128 and 256-bit
Option 1 allows the user to encrypt all traffic sent over the wireless link using 128-bit
encryption. Option 2 allows the user to encrypt traffic using either 128 or 256-bit encryption.
The configuration process for both encryption variants is identical except for the selection of
algorithm. The following configuration example is for a 256-bit encryption key.
17.1
Configuring Link Encryption
After purchasing AES encryption for the PTP 600 Series wireless link, two new license keys
will be issued, one for each end of the wireless link. The following configuration process gives
a step by step guide to enabling AES link encryption on a PTP 600 Series bridge.
17.1.1 License Keys
The first step when configuring link encryption is to enter the new license keys in both 600
Series wireless units.
Figure 174 shows the license key data entry screen. This screen can only be accessed by the
system administrator. If you do not have access to the PTP 600 Series system administration
pages then please contact your designated system administrator.
298
17 AES Encryption Upgrade
Figure 174 – AES Software License Key Data Entry
Configuring link encryption will necessitate a 600 Series bridge service outage. Therefore it is
recommended that the configuration process be scheduled during an appropriate period of
low link utilization. Motorola recommends the following process for entering new license keys
and minimizing service outage:
1. Open two browsers, one for each end of the link
2. Navigate to the ‘License Key’ data entry page for each end of the link
3. Enter the license keys and click the ‘Validate license key’ button at each end of the
link. This will allow the software to validate the license key prior to the system reset.
(DO NOT CLICK ARE YOU SURE POPUP DIALOG)
299
17 AES Encryption Upgrade
4. When both license keys have been successfully validated confirm the reboot for both
ends of the link. The software is designed to allow five seconds so that a user can
command both ends of the link to reset before the wireless link drops.
5. The link will automatically re-establish.
17.1.2 Encryption Mode and Key
Entering the license keys only does not initialize AES link encryption. Link encryption can only
be enabled via the Configuration or Installation Wizard pages. Motorola recommends that the
Configuration page Figure 175 be used to configure AES link encryption.
Figure 175 – AES Configuration Data Entry Page
300
17 AES Encryption Upgrade
Motorola recommends the following process for entering AES link encryption configuration:
1. Open two browsers, one for each end of the link
2. Navigate to the ‘Configuration’ data entry page for each end of the link
3. At both ends of the link select the ‘AES (Rijndael)’ Encryption Algorithm required.
4. At both ends of the link enter ether an 128-bit or 256-bit encryption key. Note the key
consists of 32/64 case insensitive hexadecimal characters. The same Key must be
entered at both ends of the link. Failure to enter the same key will cause the link to
fail.
5. Submit configuration on both ends of the link, but do not reboot.
6. Reboot both ends of the link Figure 176. The software is designed to allow five
seconds so that a user can command both ends of the link to reboot before the
wireless link drops.

Wireless Link Encryption FAQ
17.2.1 Encryption data entry fields are not available
Check that the correct license key has been inserted into the unit. The current license key is
displayed on the ‘License Key’ data entry page.
17.2.2 Link fails to bridge packets after enabling link encryption
If the wireless link status on the status web page indicates that the link is ‘Searching’, and you
can browse to the local end of the link but not to the remote end, then check that the same
encryption algorithm and key have been entered at both ends of the link. Failure to enter the
same algorithm and key will result in received packets not being decrypted correctly.
17.2.3 Loss of AES following downgrade
When downgrading (using Recovery software image 05-01 onwards) to an earlier version of
software that does not support AES, the unit will indicate that the region code is invalid. The
user will be required to re-install correct software (supplied when AES key was activated) and
reboot the unit.

In connection with Motorola’s delivery of certain proprietary software or products
containing embedded or pre-loaded proprietary software, or both, Motorola is willing to
license this certain proprietary software and the accompanying documentation to you
only on the condition that you accept all the terms in this End User License Agreement
(“Agreement”).
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE THE
PRODUCT OR INSTALL THE SOFTWARE. INSTEAD, YOU MAY, FOR A FULL REFUND,
RETURN THIS PRODUCT TO THE LOCATION WHERE YOU ACQUIRED IT OR PROVIDE
WRITTEN VERIFICATION OF DELETION OF ALL COPIES OF THE SOFTWARE. ANY
USE OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO USE ON THE PRODUCT,
WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
19.8.1.1 Definitions
In this Agreement, the word “Software” refers to the set of instructions for computers, in
executable form and in any media, (which may include diskette, CD-ROM, downloadable
internet, hardware, or firmware) licensed to you.
The word “Documentation” refers to
electronic or printed manuals and accompanying instructional aids licensed to you. The word

19.8.1.2 Grant of License
Motorola, Inc. (“Motorola”) grants you (“Licensee” or “you”) a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the Software and Documentation subject to the Conditions of Use
set forth in Section 3 “Getting Started” and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any
terms or conditions relating to the Software and Documentation appearing on the face or
reverse side of any purchase order, purchase order acknowledgment or other order
document that are different from, or in addition to, the terms of this Agreement will not be
binding on the parties, even if payment is accepted.
312
19 Legal and Regulatory Notices
19.8.1.3 Conditions of Use
Any use of the Software and Documentation outside of the conditions set forth in this
Agreement is strictly prohibited and will be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
Only you, your employees or agents may use the Software and Documentation. You will take
all necessary steps to insure that your employees and agents abide by the terms of this
Agreement.
You will use the Software and Documentation (i) only for your internal business purposes; (ii)
only as described in the Software and Documentation; and (iii) in strict accordance with this
Agreement.
You may use the Software and Documentation, provided that the use is in conformance with
the terms set forth in this Agreement.
Portions of the Software and Documentation are protected by United States copyright laws,
international treaty provisions, and other applicable laws.
Therefore, you must treat the
Software like any other copyrighted material (for example, a book or musical recording)
except that you may either: (i) make 1 copy of the transportable part of the Software (which
typically is supplied on diskette, CD-ROM, or downloadable internet), solely for back-up
purposes; or (ii) copy the transportable part of the Software to a PC hard disk, provided you
keep the original solely for back-up purposes. If the Documentation is in printed form, it may
not be copied. If the Documentation is in electronic form, you may print out 1 copy, which
then may not be copied. With regard to the copy made for backup or archival purposes, you
agree to reproduce any Motorola copyright notice, and other proprietary legends appearing
thereon. Such copyright notice(s) may appear in any of several forms, including machinereadable form, and you agree to reproduce such notice in each form in which it appears, to
the extent it is physically possible to do so. Unauthorized duplication of the Software or
Documentation constitutes copyright infringement, and in the United States is punishable in
federal court by fine and imprisonment.
You will not transfer, directly or indirectly, any product, technical data or software to any
country for which the United States Government requires an export license or other
governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval.

19 Legal and Regulatory Notices
19.8.1.4 Title; Restrictions
If you transfer possession of any copy of the Software and Documentation to another party
outside of the terms of this agreement, your license is automatically terminated. Title and
copyrights to the Software and Documentation and any copies made by you remain with
Motorola and its licensors. You will not, and will not permit others to: (i) modify, translate,
decompile, bootleg, reverse engineer, disassemble, or extract the inner workings of the
Software or Documentation, (ii) copy the look-and-feel or functionality of the Software or
Documentation; (iii) remove any proprietary notices, marks, labels, or logos from the Software
or Documentation; (iv) rent or transfer all or some of the Software or Documentation to any
other party without Motorola’s prior written consent; or (v) utilize any computer software or
hardware which is designed to defeat any copy protection device, should the Software and
Documentation be equipped with such a protection device.
If the Software and
Documentation is provided on multiple types of media (such as diskette, CD-ROM,
downloadable internet), then you will only use the medium which best meets your specific
needs, and will not loan, rent, lease, or transfer the other media contained in the package
without Motorola’s written consent. Unauthorized copying of the Software or Documentation,
or failure to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement, will result in automatic
termination of this license.
19.8.1.5 Confidentiality
You acknowledge that all Software and Documentation contain valuable proprietary
information and trade secrets and that unauthorized or improper use of the Software and
Documentation will result in irreparable harm to Motorola for which monetary damages would
be inadequate and for which Motorola will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief.
If
applicable, you will limit access to the Software and Documentation to those of your
employees and agents who need to use the Software and Documentation for your internal
business purposes, and you will take appropriate action with those employees and agents to
preserve the confidentiality of the Software and Documentation, using the same degree of
care to avoid unauthorized or improper disclosure as you use for the protection of your own
proprietary software, but in no event less than reasonable care.
You have no obligation to preserve the confidentiality of any proprietary information that: (i)
was in the public domain at the time of disclosure; (ii) entered the public domain through no
fault of yours; (iii) was given to you free of any obligation to keep it confidential; (iv) is
independently developed by you; or (v) is disclosed as required by law provided that you
notify Motorola prior to such disclosure and provide Motorola with a reasonable opportunity to
respond.

21 FAQs
Can I source and use my own PoE adaptor with the 600 Series bridge? No. The 600
Series bridge uses a non-standard PoE configuration. Failure to use the Motorola supplied
Power Indoor Unit could result in equipment damage and will invalidate the safety certification
and may cause a safety hazard.
Why has Motorola launched the 600 Series bridge? The 600 Series bridge is the first
product to feature Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO). The PTP 600 Series solutions allow
wireless connections of up to 200km (124 miles) in near line-of-sight conditions and up to
10km (6 miles) in deep non-line-of-sight conditions.
What is Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)? The 600 Series bridge radiates multiple
beams from the antenna - the effect of which is to significantly protect against fading and to
radically 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 best in class link
budget, there is a significant improvement to the probability of a robust connection over a
non-line-of-sight path.
What do you mean by “non-line-of-sight”? A wireless connection between two points
without optical line-of-sight, that is, with obstructions between the antennas the transmitted
signal is still able to reach the receiver and produce a good quality link.
What else is special about the 600 Series bridge ? There are many special features builtin to the hardware of the 600 Series bridge. The product offers the highest system gain in its
class through high sensitivity antennas for improved signal recovery. It also features a
Software Defined Radio system that operates on ultra fast digital signal processors but is
controlled by firmware giving the ability to download new firmware when enhancements
become available. The 600 Series bridge has a built-in web server for advanced management
capabilities including detailed radio signal diagnosis.
In which frequency bands does the 600 Series bridge operate? The Motorola point-topoint 600 Series bridge operates in the licensed bands 2.5 GHz and 4.5 GHz, and in the
unlicensed bands 5.4 GHz (ETSI Band B), 5.8 GHz (ETSI Band C and FCC ISM band) and
5.9 GHz. Users must ensure that the PTP 600 Series bridge complies with local operating
regulations.

21 FAQs
Why does the 600 Series bridge operate in the 5GHz band? The 5 GHz band offers the
dual benefits of high data throughput and good radio propagation characteristics. The wide
band of spectrum available is subdivided into several channels such that multiple systems
can operate in the vicinity without causing interference to one another.
Is the 600 Series bridge an 802.11a device? No, although similar, the 600 Series bridge
uses different encoding and radio transmission systems from 802.11a. In areas where
802.11a systems are operating, the 600 Series bridge will detect the 802.11a radio signals
and choose a clear channel away from any interference.
How much power does the 600 Series bridge transmit? At all times the 600 Series bridge
operates within country / region specific regulations for radio power emissions. In addition, the
600 Series bridge uses a technique known as Transmit Power Control (TPC) to ensure that it
only transmits sufficient radio power such that the other antenna can receive a high quality
signal.
How does the PTP 600 Series Bridge avoid interference from other devices nearby? At
initialization, the 600 Series bridge monitors the available frequency channels to find a
channel that is clear of interference. In operation 600 Series bridge continuously monitors the
spectrum to ensure it is operating on the cleanest channel.
How does the 600 Series bridge integrate into my data network? The 600 Series bridge
acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of your network. In this sense, it can be
treated like a virtual wired connection between the two buildings. The 600 Series bridge
forwards 802.3 Ethernet packets destined for the other part of the network and filters packets
it does not need to forward. The system is transparent to higher-level management systems
such as VLANs and Spanning Tree.
How does the 600 Series bridge provide security for data traffic? The 600 Series bridge
has a range of security features. At installation time each link must be programmed with the
serial ID of its partner. The two ends of the link will only communicate with one another,
eliminating any chance of "man in the middle" attacks. Over the air security is achieved
through a proprietary scrambling mechanism that cannot be disabled, spoofed or snooped by
commercial tools.
Can I use Apple Macintosh OS X to control and monitor my 600 Series bridge? Yes, but
there are some restrictions. Mozilla 1.6 or higher is recommended.
