Important regulatory information
The 450 Platform Family products are certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not
allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Application software
Download the latest 450 Platform Family software and install it in the Outdoor Units (ODUs) before
deploying the equipment. Instructions for installing software are provided in Upgrading the software
version and using CNUT on page 7-64.
USA specific information
Caution
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation
The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires manufacturers to implement special
features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650
MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz
to 5725 MHz.
Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of FCC
rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have
been demonstrated to the FCC.
Cambium supplies variants of the 450i and 450m Series specifically for operation in the USA in order to
comply with FCC requirements (KDB 905462 D02 UNII DFS Compliance Procedures New Rules v01r02).
These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules.
Similarly, Cambium supplies variants of the 450 Series specifically for operation in the USA in order to
comply with FCC requirements (KDB 443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01r04). These variants
are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. To ensure compliance when
using PMP 450 Series and PTP 450 Series, follow the recommendation in Avoidance of weather radars
(USA only).
Page 5
External antennas
When using a connectorized version of the product, the conducted transmit power may need to be
reduced to ensure the regulatory limit on transmitter EIRP is not exceeded. The installer must have an
understanding of how to compute the effective antenna gain from the actual antenna gain and the feeder
cable losses.
The range of permissible values for maximum antenna gain and feeder cable losses are included in this
user guide together with a sample calculation. The product GUI automatically applies the correct
conducted power limit to ensure that it is not possible for the installation to exceed the EIRP limit, when
the appropriate values for antenna gain and feeder cable losses are entered into the GUI.
Avoidance of weather radars (USA only)
To comply with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470 -
5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), units which are installed within 35 km (22
miles) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system (or have a line of sight propagation path to
such a system) must be configured to avoid any frequency within +30 MHz or –30 MHz of the frequency
of the TDWR device. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km (22 miles) radius
but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km (22 miles) radius of the TDWRs. If
interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be
used. Devices with bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation.
When planning a link in the USA, visit http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx, enter the location of
the planned link and search for TDWR radars. If a TDWR system is located within 35 km (22 miles) or has
line of sight propagation to the PTP device, perform the following tasks:
Register the installation on http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx.
Make a list of channel center frequencies that must be barred, that is, those falling within +30 MHz or
–30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR radars.
The 450 Platform Family AP must be configured to not operate on the affected channels.

Wireless operation
This section describes how the 450 Platform Family wireless link is operated, including modulation
modes, power control and security.
Time division duplexing
The system uses Time Division Duplexing (TDD) – one channel alternately transmits and receives rather
than using one channel for transmitting and a second channel for receiving. To accomplish TDD, the
AP/BHM must provide sync to its SM/BHS. Furthermore, collocated APs/BHMs must be synced together
– an unsynchronized AP/BHM that transmits during the receive cycle of a collocated AP/BHM can prevent
a second AP/BHM from being able to decode the signals from its APs/BHSs. In addition, across a
geographical area, APs/BHMs that can “hear” each other benefit from using a common sync to further
reduce self-interference within the network.
Modules use TDD on a common frequency to divide frames for uplink (orange) and downlink (green)
usage, as shown in the figure below.
For more information on synchronization configuration options, see GPS synchronization on page 2-45.
Figure 2 TDD frame division
Time
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Page 1-17
TDD frame parameters
The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following:
Channel Bandwidth
Cyclic Prefix
Frame Period
Frame configuration - Downlink Data
Link operation – Dynamic Rate Adaptation
OFDM and channel bandwidth
The PMP/PTP 450 Platform Family transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).
This wideband signal consists of many equally spaced sub-carriers. Although each sub carrier is
modulated at a low rate using conventional modulation schemes, the resultant data rate from the sub-
carriers is high. OFDM works exceptionally over a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) channel.
The channel bandwidth of the OFDM signal is configurable to one of the following values: 5, 7, 10, 15, 20
and 30 MHz. Higher bandwidths provide greater link capacity at the expense of using more bandwidth.
Systems configured for a narrower channel bandwidth provide better receiver sensitivity and can also be
an appropriate choice in deployments where the amount of free spectrum is limited.
Note
The channel bandwidth must be configured to the same value at both ends of the link. Not
all channel bandwidths are available in all regulatory bands.
Cyclic Prefix
OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the
beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16
cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. For your
convenience, the 450 Platform Family ODUs have been locked to a 1/16 CP.
Frame Period
The frame period or frame duration is the time between the beginning of a frame and the end of the
frame. The 450 Platform Family supports two frame periods: 2.5 ms and 5 ms.
Note
PMP 450m AP supports 2.5 ms Frame Period only.
The 5ms frame period configuration provides higher throughput as a result of reduced frame overhead
during transmission. In turn, the 2.5 ms frame period configuration affords reduced latency in the system,
half of that introduced by the 5 ms frame configuration.
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Page 1-18
Frame configuration - Downlink Data
The percentage of frame assigned to transport downlink data. The downlink data specifies the percentage
of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted from the AP/BHM to the subscriber).
The configurable range is 15% to 85%.
Note
The maximum configurable range is 34% to 66% for 40 MHz with 5 ms frame.
Link operation – Dynamic Rate Adapt
The 450 Platform Family ODUs offer eight levels or speeds of operation – 2X MIMO-B and 1X MIMO-A
(QPSK), 4X MIMO-B and 2X MIMO-A (16-QAM), 6x MIMO-B and 3X MIMO-A (64-QAM) and 8X MIMO-B
and 4X MIMO-A (265-QAM). If received power varies due to distance between the AP/BHM and the
SM/BHS or due to obstructions, or if interference affects the RF environment, the system automatically
and dynamically adjusts the links to the best operation level.
The system chooses its modulation rate dynamically, based on an internal ARQ (Automatic Repeat
reQuest) error control method. With ARQ, every data slot of every frame sent over the air (except
downlink broadcast) is expected to be acknowledged by the receiver, and if acknowledgement is not
received, the data is resent. The sending unit monitors these re-sends and adjusts the modulation rate
accordingly. It is normal to have links that change levels of operation as the RF environment changes.
Furthermore, the uplink or downlink portions of TDD duty cycle operate independently.
The various modulation levels used by 450 Platform Family are shown in Table 11.
Table 11 Modulation levels
Rate MIMO-B MIMO-A
QPSK 2X MIMO-B 1X MIMO-A
16-QAM 4X MIMO-B 2X MIMO-A
64-QAM 6X MIMO-B 3X MIMO-A
256-QAM 8X MIMO-B 4X MIMO-A
Note
MIMO-A achieves half the throughput of MIMO-B but adds a combining diversity (gain) which
enhances the link budget or availability.
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Page 1-19
Encryption
The 450 Platform Family supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The 450
Platform Family supports the following forms of encryption for security of the wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys
and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination
operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the
system.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael
algorithm and 128-bit keys and 256-bit key size to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES
products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in
the U.S.A.
The default setting on an AP is "Disabled".
MIMO
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and increase the
probability that the receiver decodes a usable signal. When the effects of MIMO are combined with those
of OFDM techniques and a high link budget, there is a high probability of a robust connection over a non-
line-of-sight path.
The sub-features that comprises the MIMO techniques utilized in the 450 Platform Family ODUs are:
MIMO-A: This technique enables 450 Platform Family radio to use a scheme that optimizes coverage
by transmitting the same data over
both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio
at the receiver making it more
robust.
MIMO-B: This technique provides the ability to double the throughput of a radio transmission under
proper RF conditions. Different data streams are transmitted simultaneously on two different
antennas.
MU-MIMO
Multiple-input multiple-output, or MIMO, is a range of technologies used to multiply the capacity of a
wireless connection without requiring more spectrum.
Although traditional MIMO techniques are focused on increasing the bandwidth available between two
wireless nodes, multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) applies these technologies to increase overall wireless
network capacity by allowing an access point to communicate wirelessly with more than one wireless
node at once.
A MU-MIMO access point features an array of antennas. When the AP decides to communicate with
multiple nodes at the same time, it creates multiple simultaneous beams each directed to a specific node.
This is contrast to a traditional wireless system, where two wireless nodes cannot communicate on the
same channel to the same access point at the same time, without causing significant self-interference
and degrading the overall wireless network performance.
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Page 1-20
A MU-MIMO access point estimates and measures what a transmission from each wireless node ‘sounds
like’, by applying knowledge of the wireless path characteristics between the access point and node.
Known as channel estimation, this process is of vital importance; without it, the access point cannot
distinguish properly between wireless nodes, affecting performance.
Channel estimation is achieved by the access point sending a specific signal to a wireless node, which
the node then reflects back. By measuring how the signal was received back from the node, the access
point can estimate the wireless conditions between itself and the node, and know to expect these same
conditions to be applied to other communications from that node. This is known as channel sounding.
Channel estimation and sounding must be regularly repeated to ensure wireless network performance
remains high; the speed at which a system is able to accurately estimate the channel has a large impact
on performance.
Once channel estimation is completed for a wireless node, the MU-MIMO access point can electrically
tune each antenna to provide the highest performance for that node. The access point uses beamforming
to create a radio beam to that node which is tuned for optimum performance and avoids beams directed
to other nodes, reducing interference and helping to improve overall wireless network capacity.
A MU-MIMO access point can communicate to multiple wireless nodes simultaneously using this process.
As the majority of nodes are unable to make full use of the whole access point capacity at once,
communicating with several nodes simultaneously can greatly improve the overall capacity achieved in
the wireless network.

ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of the root and admin
users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of them creates.
INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR except that the installer
cannot add or delete users or change the password of any other user.
TECHNICIAN, who has permissions to modify basic radio parameters and view informational web
pages
GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status tab
Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to
only see the items.

Page 1-23
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
The PMP configuration of 450 Platform Family includes support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial
In User Service) protocol functionality including:
SM Authentication: Allows only known SMs onto the network (blocking “rogue” SMs), and can be
configured to ensure SMs are connecting to a known network (preventing SMs from connecting to
“rogue” APs). RADIUS authentication is used for SMs, but not used for APs.
SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), High
Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP.
User Authentication
allows users to configure a separate User authentication server along with
the SM authentication server.
If firmware is upgraded while using this functionality and no User
authentication servers are configured, then AP continues to use the SM authentication server for User
authentication
SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This
accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session
disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP.
Centralized AP and SM user name and password management: Allows AP and SM usernames and
access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician and Read-Only) to be centrally administered in the
RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for each username
on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions
performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an
Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Wireless Manager. This accounting is not
the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account.
Framed-IP-Address: Operators may use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to
SM modules. SNMP
The management agent supports fault and performance management by means of an SNMP interface.
The management agent is compatible with SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using Management Information
Base (MIB) files which are available for download from the Cambium Networks Support website:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or without a
connection to a network time server (NTP). It can be configured to display local time by setting the time
zone and daylight saving in the Time web page.
If an NTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time at
regular intervals. The 450 Platform Family radios may receive NTP data from a CMM4 module or an NTP
server configured in the system’s management network.
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Page 1-24
The Time Zone option is configurable on the AP’s/BHM’s Time Configuration page, and may be used to
offset the received NTP time to match the operator’s local time zone. When set on the AP/BHM, the offset
is set for the entire sector (AP/BHSs is notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time
Zone change is applied, the AP/BHSs are notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some
AP/BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the
Event Log.
An AP/BHM which is receiving NTP date and time information from an NTP server or from a GPS
synchronization source may be used as an NTP server. Any client which has IP connectivity to the BHM
may request NTP date and time information from the AP/BHM. No additional configuration (other than the
AP/BHM receiving valid NTP data) is required to use the AP/BHM as an NTP server.

SM/BHS LEDs
The SM/BHS LEDs provide different status of radio based on the operating modes. A SM/BHS in
“operating” mode registers and passes traffic normally. A SM/BHS in “aiming” mode does not register or
pass the traffic, but displays (via LED panel) the strength of received radio signals (based on radio
channel selected via Tools -> Alignment).

Aiming Mode
The 3 LEDs (SYN/1, SES/2, and GPS/3) are turned into a 3-position bar graph. The more LEDs that are
lit, the better the received power the module is seeing. The colors of the LEDS have no particular
meaning other than to assist is distinguishing one position from the next.

Outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet cable
Outdoor Cat5e cable is used for all connections that terminate outside the building. For example,
connections between the ODU, surge suppressors (if installed), UGPS receivers (if installed) and the
power supply injector. This is known as a “drop cable” (Figure 21).
The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
Use only shielded cables and connectors to resist interference and corrosion.
For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief.
Include a 2 ft (0.6 m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and
contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed.
Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the
device.
Properly crimp all connectors.
Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion.
Order Superior Essex type BBDGe cable from Cambium Networks (Table 39). Other lengths of this cable
are available from Superior Essex.

GPS synchronization
GPS synchronization description
Cambium offers GPS synchronization to limit the network’s own self-interference. The Cluster
Management CMM provides Global Positioning System (GPS) synchronization to the Access Point (AP)
and all associated Subscriber Modules (SM). Network operators have a choice of UGPS and CMM
solutions to select the option that works best for the environment.
Universal GPS (UGPS)
The UGPS provides network synchronization for smaller networks where a CMM may not be cost
effective. The UGPS provides synchronization for one or two modules so that even remote areas at the
edge of the network can operate with synchronization for improved performance. The UGPS works with
all Cambium PMP radios. The UGPS has a small footprint and is easy to deploy.

CMM4 (Rack
Mount)
The Cluster Management Module (CMM) is the heart of the Cambium system’s synchronization
capability, which allows network operators to reuse frequencies and add capacity while ensuring
consistency in the quality of service to customers.
For operators who prefer indoor CMM mounting, Cambium offers the Rack-Mounted Cluster Management
Module 4. The unit is designed to be mounted onto a standard 19-inch telecommunications rack and to
allow the Cambium CMM4 to be co-located with other telecommunications equipment.
Figure 33
CMM4 (Rack Mount)
The CMM4 has two DC power inputs, one 29 V and one 56V. It can be used to power and synchronize
both 29 V legacy products such as the PMP 450 Series and 56V products such as the PMP 450i Series
simultaneously.
If the 29 V legacy products are connected to the CMM4, a 29 V power supply needs to be connected.
If the 450i Series is connected to the CMM4, a 56 V power supply needs to be connected. The CMM4
supports having two of the 56 V and two of the 29 V supplies for redundancy.
Warning
PMP 450i Series requires different wiring between the CMM4 and device. If a PMP450
Series ODU is replaced by a PMP 450i Series and the existing drop cable needs to be re-
used, the Ethernet cable adapter for CMM4 - N000045L001A" must be used between the
CMM4 and the existing drop cable.

Designed to deliver consistent and reliable wireless broadband service, the PMP/PTP system gracefully
scales to support large deployments. The cluster management module is the heart of the system’s
synchronization capability which allows network operators to re-use frequencies and add capacity while
ensuring consistency in the quality of service to customers. As a result, subscribers can experience
carrier-grade service even at the outer edge of the network.

CMM3/CMMmicro
The CMM3 or CMMmicro (Cluster Management Module micro) provides power, GPS timing, and
networking connections for an AP cluster. The CMM3 is configurable through a web interface.
The CMM3 contains an 8-port managed switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE – this is
Cambium PoE, not the standard PoE) on each port and connects any combination of APs, BHMs, BHSs,
or Ethernet feed. The Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP networks PoE differs from IEEE Standard
803.3af PoE, and the two should not be intermixed. The CMM3 can auto-negotiate speed to match inputs
that are either 100Base-TX or 10Base-T, and either full duplex or half duplex, where the connected
device is set to auto-negotiate. Alternatively, these parameters are settable.
A CMM3 requires only one cable, terminating in an RJ-45 connector, for each connected module to
distribute
Ethernet signaling.
power to as many as 8 co-located modules—APs, BHMs, or BHSs. Through a browser interface to
the managed switch, ports can be powered or not.
sync to APs and BHMs. The CMM3 receives 1-pulse per second timing information from Global
Positioning System (GPS) satellites through an antenna (included) and passes the timing pulse
embedded in the 24-V power to the connected modules.
GPS status information is available at the CMM3, however
CMM3 provides time and date information to BHMs and APs if both the CMMmicro is operating on
CMMmicro Release 2.1 or later and the AP/BHM is operating on System Release 4.2 or later. See
Configuring time settings on Page 7-17.
CMM3 does not provide time and date information to BHMs and APs if either the CMM3 is operating
on a release earlier than CMMmicro Release 2.1 or the AP/BHM is operating on a release earlier than
System Release 4.2.
A CMM3/CMMicro is shown in Figure 37 and Figure 38.

is not the highest object at the site. (The GPS antenna does not need to be particularly
high on a site, which would give it more exposure to lightning. It just needs to have an
unobstructed view of the sky.)
is not further than 100 feet (30.4 meters) of cable from the CMM.

Site planning
This section describes factors to be considered when choosing sites for PMP or PTP radios, power
supplies, CMM4 (if applicable) and UGPS (if applicable).
Site selection for PMP/PTP radios
When selecting a site for the ODU, consider the following factors:
Height and location to ensure that people are kept away from the antenna; see Calculated distances
and power compliance margins on page 4-24.
Height and location to achieve the best radio path.
Indoor location where the power supply LED indicators will be visible, so the drop cable length will not
exceed the maximum recommended length; see Power supply site selection on page 3-8.
Ability to meet the requirements specified in Grounding and lightning protection on page 3-8.
Aesthetics and planning permission issues.
Cable lengths; see Ethernet standards and cable lengths on page 2-33.
The effect of strong winds on the installation; see ODU wind loading on page 3-11.
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Page 3-8
Power supply site selection
When selecting a site for the ODU power supply, consider the following factors:
Indoor location with no possibility of condensation, flooding or high humidity.
Availability of a mains electricity supply.
Located in an environment where it is not likely to exceed its operational temperature rating, allowing
for natural convection cooling.
Accessibility for viewing status indicator LED and connecting Ethernet cables.
Cable lengths; see Ethernet standards and cable lengths on page 2-33.
Maximum cable lengths
When installing PMP/PTP 450i Series ODU, the maximum permitted length of the shielded copper
Ethernet interface cable is 330 feet (100m) from AP/BHM/SM/BHS to their associated power supplies or
CMM4.
When installing PMP 450m Series ODU, the maximum permitted length of the shielded copper Ethernet
interface cable is 330 feet ( 100m) from ODU to the network interface equipment.
Grounding and lightning protection
Warning
Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The
recommendations in this guide, when followed correctly, give the user the best protection
from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor possible.
Structures, equipment and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by lightning)
by conducting the surge current to ground via a separate preferential solid path. The actual degree of
protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. To adequately protect a
PMP/PTP 450 Platform installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are
required.
Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the international standards
IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 or section 54 of
the Canadian Electric Code.
Warning
International and national standards take precedence over the requirements in this guide.
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Page 3-9
Lightning protection zones
Use the rolling sphere method (Figure 45) to determine where it is safe to mount equipment. An
imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the sphere rests
against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), all the space under the
sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection (Zone B). Similarly, where the sphere rests on two
finials, the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection.
Figure 45 Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones
Zone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment in this zone.
Zone B: In this zone, direct EMD (lightning) effects are still possible, but mounting in this zone
significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike. Mount equipment in this zone.
Warning
Never mount equipment in Zone A. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment, structures and
life at risk.
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Page 3-10
Site grounding system
Confirm that the site has a correctly installed grounding system on a common ground ring with access
points for grounding the 450 Platform Family ODU.
If the outdoor equipment is to be installed on the roof of a high building (Figure 42), confirm that the
following additional requirements are met:
A grounding conductor is installed around the roof perimeter to form the main roof perimeter lightning
protection ring.
Air terminals are installed along the length of the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring,
typically every 6.1m (20ft).
The main roof perimeter lightning protection ring contains at least two down conductors connected to
the grounding electrode system. The down conductors should be physically separated from one
another, as far as practical.
ODU and external antenna location
Find a location for the ODU (and external antenna for connectorized units) that meets the following
requirements:
The equipment is high enough to achieve the best radio path.
People can be kept a safe distance away from the equipment when it is radiating. The safe
separation distances are defined in Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-
24.
The equipment is lower than the top of the supporting structure (tower, mast or building) or its
lightning air terminal.
If the ODU is connectorized, select a mounting position that gives it maximum protection from the
elements, but still allows easy access for connecting and weatherproofing the cables. To minimize
cable losses, select a position where the antenna cable lengths can be minimized. If diverse or two
external antennas are being deployed, it is not necessary to mount the ODU at the midpoint of the
antennas.
ODU ambient temperature limits
Select a location where the ODU can operate within safe ambient temperature limits. The following points
need to be considered while selecting a location for the ODU:
The ODU must be mounted in a Restricted Access Location (as defined in EN 60950-1) if the
operating ambient temperature may exceed 40°C, including solar radiation.
If the ambient temperature never exceeds 40°C, the temperature of the external metal case parts of
the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 70°C.
If the ambient temperature never exceeds 60°C, the temperature of the external metal case parts of
the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 90°C.
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Page 3-11
Note
A restricted access location is defined (in EN 60950-1) as one where access may only be
gained by use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and access is controlled
by the authority responsible for the location. Access must only be gained by persons who
have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about
any precautions that must be taken. Examples of permissible restricted access locations are
a lockable equipment room or a lockable cabinet.
ODU wind loading
Ensure that the ODU and the structure on which it is mounted are capable of withstanding the prevalent
wind speeds at a proposed 450 Platform site. Wind speed statistics are available from national
meteorological offices.
The ODU and its mounting bracket are capable of withstanding wind speeds of:
Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450m Series – AP 5 GHz
Up to 124 mph (Integrated) for PMP/PTP 450i – all models 3 GHz and 5 GHz
Up to 200 mph (Connectorized) for PMP/PTP 450i – all models 3 GHz and 5 GHz
Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP/PTP 450 – all models
Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450 – Ruggedized
Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450i – all models 900 MHz
Up to 118 mph (191 kph) for PMP 450b
Up to 90 mph (145 kph) for PMP 450d
Up to 100 mph (161 kph) for 900 MHz antennas
Wind blowing on the ODU will subject the mounting structure to significant lateral force. The magnitude of
the force depends on both wind strength and surface area of the ODU. Wind loading is estimated using
the following formulae:
Force (in kilograms) = 0.1045aV2
where:
o “a” is the surface area in square meters, and
o “V” is the wind speed in meters per second.
Force (in pounds) = 0.0042Av2
where:
o “A” is the surface area in square feet, and
o “v” is the wind speed in miles per hour.
Applying these formulae to the 450 platform at different wind speeds, the resulting wind loadings are
shown in below tables.

Hazardous locations
Check that the ODUs will not be exposed to hazardous gases, as defined by HAZLOC (USA) and ATEX
(Europe) regulations. If there is a risk of such exposure, then order the PTP/PMP 450i ATEX/Hazloc
product variants, as these are intended for operation in locations with gas hazards. The ATEX and
HAZLOC standards limit the EIRP as shown in Table 75.

Drop cable grounding points
To estimate how many grounding kits are required for each drop cable, refer to the site installation
diagrams (Figure 40 , Figure 41, and Figure 42) and use the following criteria:
The drop cable shield must be grounded near the ODU at the first point of contact between the drop
cable and the mast, tower or building.
The drop cable shield must be grounded at the building entry point.
For mast or tower installations (Figure 40), use the following additional criteria:
The drop cable shield must be grounded at the bottom of the tower, near the vertical to horizontal
transition point. This ground cable must be bonded to the tower or tower ground bus bar (TGB), if
installed.
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Page 3-16
If the tower is greater than 61 m (200 ft) in height, the drop cable shield must be grounded at the
tower midpoint, and at additional points as necessary to reduce the distance between ground cables
to 61 m (200 ft) or less.
In high lightning-prone geographical areas, the drop cable shield must be grounded at spacing
between 15 to 22 m (50 to 75 ft). This is especially important on towers taller than 45 m (150 ft).
For roof installations (Figure 42), use the following additional criteria:
The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at its top entry point (usually
on the roof).
The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at the entry point to the
equipment room.
Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) location
Find a location for the bottom LPU that meets the following requirements:
The bottom LPU can be connected to the drop cable from the ODU.
The bottom LPU is within 600 mm (24 in) of the point at which the drop cable enters the building,
enclosure or equipment room within a larger building.
The bottom LPU can be bonded to the grounding system.

Radio Frequency planning
This section describes how to plan 450 Platform Family links to conform to analysis of spectrum and the
regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation.
Regulatory limits
Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the 450
Platform Family.
Refer to Equipment Disposal (Chapter 10: Reference information) on page 10-49 to determine what the
maximum transmitted power and EIRP for PMP/PTP 450 Plaftrom that can be used in each of countries
and frequency band.
Caution
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the PMP/PTP ODU is operated in
accordance with local regulatory limits.
Note
Contact the applicable radio regulator to find out whether or not registration of the
PMP/PTP 450 Platform link is required.
Conforming to the limits
Ensure the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements by configuring the PMP 450/450i
Series AP or PTP 450/450i Series BHM for the correct country. In the following situations, this does not
prevent operation outside the regulations:
When using connectorized ODUs with external antennas, the regulations may require the maximum
transmit power to be reduced.
Available spectrum
The available spectrum for operation depends on the regulatory band. When configured appropriately, the
unit will only allow operation on those channels which are permitted by the regulations.
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning
Page 3-18
Certain regulations have allocated certain channels as unavailable for use:
FCC has allocated part of the 5.1 & 5.2 GHz
ETSI has allocated part of the 5.4 GHz band to weather radar.
UK and some other European countries have allocated part of the 5.8 GHz band to Road Transport
and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) systems.
The number and identity of channels barred in a given regulatory band is dependent on the channel
bandwidth and channel raster selected.
Analyzing the RF Environment
An essential element in RF network planning is the analysis of spectrum usage and the strength of the
signals that occupy the spectrum. Regardless of how these parameters are measured and log or chart
the results (through the Spectrum Analyzer feature or by using a spectrum analyzer), ensure
measurements are performed:
At various times of day.
On various days of the week.
Periodically into the future.
As new RF neighbors move in or consumer devices proliferate in currently used spectrum, this keeps the
user aware of the dynamic possibilities for interference within the network.
Channel bandwidth
Select the required channel bandwidth for the link. The selection depends upon the regulatory band
selected.
The wider the channel bandwidth, the greater the capacity. As narrower channel bandwidths take up less
spectrum, selecting a narrow channel bandwidth may be a better choice when operating in locations
where the spectrum is very busy.
Both ends of the link must be configured to operate on the same channel bandwidth.
Anticipating Reflection of Radio Waves
In the signal path, any object that is larger than the wavelength of the signal can reflect the signal. Such
an object can even be the surface of the earth or of a river, bay or lake. The wavelength of the signal is
approximately
2 inches (or 5 cm) for 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz signals.
12 inches for 900 MHz signals
A reflected signal can arrive at the antenna of the receiver later than the non-reflected signal arrives.
These two or more signals cause the condition known as multipath. Multipath may increase or decrease
the signal level, resulting in overall attenuation that may be higher or lower than that caused by the link
distance. This is problematic at the margin of the link budget, where the standard operating margin (fade
margin) may be compromised.
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning
Page 3-19
Obstructions in the Fresnel Zone
The Fresnel (pronounced fre∙NEL) Zone is a three-dimensional volume around the line of sight of an
antenna transmission. Objects that penetrate this area can cause the received strength of the transmitted
signal to fade. Out-of-phase reflections and absorption of the signal result in signal cancellation.
The foliage of trees and plants in the Fresnel Zone can cause signal loss. Seasonal density, moisture
content of the foliage, and other factors such as wind may change the amount of loss. Plan to perform
frequent and regular link tests if you must transmit through foliage.
Planning for co-location
The first step to avoid interference in wireless systems is to set all AP/BHMs to receive timing from a
synchronization source (Cluster Management Module, or Universal Global Positioning System). This
ensures that the modules are in sync and start transmitting at the same time each frame.
The second step to avoid interference is to configure parameters on all AP/BHMs of the same frequency
band in proximity such that they have compatible transmit/receive ratios (all stop transmitting each frame
before any start receiving). This avoids the problem of one AP/BHM attempting to receive the signal from
a distant SM/BHS while a nearby AP/BHM transmits, which could overpower that signal.
Note
Refer to Frame Alignment Legacy Mode parameter of Configuration > Radio > Adavance tab
for legacy product settings (See Table 142 PMP 450i AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page
7-132).
The following parameters on the AP/BHM determine the transmit/receive ratio:
Downlink Data percentage
Frame Period
Max Range
(reserved) Contention slots
If OFDM (450 Platform Family, PMP/PTP 230) and FSK (PMP/PTP 1x0) APs/BHMs of the same
frequency band and channel bandwidth are in proximity, or if you want BHMs set to different parameters
then you must use the Frame Calculator to identify compatible settings for APs/BHMs.
The co-location is also supported for 900 MHz PMP 450i Series APs (OFDM) and PMP 100 Series APs
(FSK).
The Frame Calculator is available on the web management interface Tools > Frame Calculator. To use
the Frame Calculator, type into the calculator various configurable parameter values for each proximal
AP/BHM and then record the resulting AP/BHM Receive Start value. Next vary the Downlink Data
percentage in each calculation and iterate until a calculated AP/BHM Receive Start for all co-located
AP/BHMs where the transmit end does not come before the receive start.
Cambium also provides co-location tool which helps in co-location planning:

Multiple OFDM Access Point Clusters
When deploying multiple AP clusters in a dense area, consider aligning the clusters as shown below.
However, this is only a recommendation. An installation may dictate a different pattern of channel
assignments.

Considerations on back-to-back frequency reuse
Cambium Networks recommends to use back-to-back (ABAB) frequency reuse, as shown in Figure 46.
This means that a base site of four sectors can be created using two frequencies, which works very well
and helps define networks in situations where high capacity is required in a limited amount of spectrum.
The conditions necessary to implement this plan are:
GPS synchronization: all the access points transmit at the same time
Uplink and Downlink timings across APs do not overlap: they can be adjusted using the frame
calculators and co-location tools provided by Cambium
Uplink power control to ensure that all signals are received on the uplink at the same level: this is
automatically enabled on all sectors
There are no reflecting objects which are too large in the exclusion zones defined in this section.
The SMs do not normally have line-of-sight (LoS) to an interfering base station. The worst case range
ratio in Figure 46 is 5:1 which in LoS only gives 14 dB protection. Greater than 30 dB is required for
256QAM capability. Down tilt can be used to advantage when the elevation beamwidth is low. Also
the range ratio applies to the longest distance SM, shorter distance SMs have a better range ratio.
This frequency reuse plan may not always give 256QAM for the longest distance SMs. It is usually a
good compromise between using more spectrum and guaranteed modulation rate.
Reflecting objects
Figure 48 shows two diagrams of the same reflecting object. Uplink interference demonstrates the
situation when the two SMs are transmitting at the same time. SM2 should be received cleanly by the AP
for Sector 3. At the same time interference can arise from SM1 via the reflecting object and cause a lower
Signal-to-Interference ratio than required at AP3. This may either cause transmission errors which are
corrected by ARQ or cause the selected modulation rate to be lowered. Either may cause a lower
throughput from SM2 and therefore sector 3.
Downlink interference shows the situation when AP3 interferes with SM1. Again the transmission may be
reduced by errors or a reduction in modulation rate.
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning
Page 3-23
Figure 48 Reflection
Reflection likelihood guidance
As shown in the previous section, reflection can cause a decrease in throughput in an ABAB base site.
This section provides guidance on whether a reflection is likely to cause interference. The first condition
for whether a reflection can cause the data rate to reduce is that the reflecting object must be in view of
the AP and the SM in order to re-transmit the signal. If this is not the case, then the object cannot cause
interference.
Given that the potential reflecting object is seen by the AP and the SM, there are a range of object sizes
and a range of zones where we can predict that interference will occur which may reduce the throughput
when both sector 1 and sector 3 are carrying traffic.
Figure 49 and Figure 50 show regions enumerated A, B, C, and D. We also need to consider objects of
size 1, 2, 3 and 4 and define the areas where the objects may interfere.
object size 1: a flat building face with a clear reflecting property from sector to AP
object size 2: random metalwork such as a wireless tower
object size 3: a 0.5 X 0.5m flat metallic face or tree
object size 4: a 0.2 X 0.2m random metal structure or 0.5 X 0.5m foliage.
The conditions for no interference are:
size 2 outside zone B
size 3 outside zone C
size 4 outside zone D
The size 1 object can interfere at large distances. It is necessary to look at the geometry by which
reflection could occur and cause interference. Typically, this will occur at a restricted range of azimuths
and ranges.

allows simultaneous communication to up to seven SMs.

For best performance it is recommended to have a clearance zone around the mast. The clearance
zone depends on the surrounding environment and the antenna’s down tilt. If the mast is surrounded
by metal then larger clearance is required compared to an environment where the antenna is
surrounded by foliage
SMs should be spread in azimuth of AP antenna
450m is susceptible to movement, for best MU-MIMO performance it is recommended that the 450m
AP is mounted/installed on a mast that is extremely rigid (no movement and is 100% vertical).

path loss and throughput. LINKPlanner is recommended.
Range and obstacles
Calculate the range of the link and identify any obstacles that may affect radio performance.
Perform a survey to identify all the obstructions (such as trees or buildings) in the path and to assess the
risk of interference. This information is necessary in order to achieve an accurate link feasibility
assessment.
The 450 Platform Family is designed to operate in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) and Line-of-Sight (LoS)
environments. An NLOS environment is one in which there is no optical line-of-sight, that is, there are
obstructions between the antennas.
OFDM technology can often use multi-pathing to an advantage to overcome nLOS, especially in cases
where the Fresnel zone is only partially blocked by buildings, “urban canyons”, or foliage. OFDM tends to
help especially when obstacles are near the middle of the link, and less so when the obstacles are very
near the ODU.
However, attenuation through walls and trees is substantial for any use of the 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz
frequency bands. The lower frequency radio waves of 900 MHz radios provide greater penetration
through walls, trees and other obstacles, making it optimal for most non-line-of-sight applications. Even
with OFDM, these products are not expected to penetrate walls or extensive trees and foliage.
Path loss
Path loss is the amount of attenuation the radio signal undergoes between the two ends of the link. The
path loss is the sum of the attenuation of the path if there were no obstacles in the way (Free Space Path
Loss), the attenuation caused by obstacles (Excess Path Loss) and a margin to allow for possible fading
of the radio signal (Fade Margin). The following calculation needs to be performed to judge whether a
particular link can be installed:

Calculating Link Loss
The link loss is the total attenuation of the wireless signal between two point-to-multipoint units. The link
loss calculation is presented below:
Link Loss (dB) = Transmit power of the remote wireless unit (dBm) − Tx Cable loss (dB) −
Received power at the local unit (dBm) – Rx cable loss (dB) + Antenna
gain at the remote unit (dBi) + Antenna gain at the local unit (dBi)
Calculating Rx Signal Level
The determinants in Rx signal level are illustrated in Figure 52.
Figure 52
Determinants in Rx signal level
Rx signal level is calculated as follows:
Rx signal level dB = Tx power − Tx cable loss + Tx antenna gain
− free space path loss + Rx antenna gain − Rx cable loss
Note
This Rx signal level calculation presumes that a clear line of sight is established between the
transmitter and receiver and that no objects encroach in the Fresnel zone.
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Page 3-30
Calculating Fade Margin
Free space path loss is a major determinant in Rx (received) signal level. Rx signal level, in turn, is a
major factor in the system operating margin (fade margin), which is calculated as follows:
System operating margin (fade margin) dB = Rx signal level dB − Rx sensitivity dB
Thus, fade margin is the difference between strength of the received signal and the strength that the
receiver requires for maintaining a reliable link. A higher fade margin is characteristic of a more reliable
link.
Adaptive modulation
Adaptive modulation ensures that the highest throughput that can be achieved instantaneously will be
obtained, taking account of propagation and interference. When the link has been installed, web pages
provide information about the link loss currently measured by the equipment, both instantaneously and
averaged. The averaged value will require maximum seasonal fading to be added, and then the radio
reliability of the link can be computed.
For details of the system throughput, link loss and maximum distance for each frequency band in all
modulation modes, see Link on page 10-45.
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units
Page 3-31
Planning for connectorized units
This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning to use connectorized ODUs with
external antennas in 450 Platform Family links.
When to install connectorized units
The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the integrated ODU. However the integrated
units may not be sufficient in some areas, for example:
Where the path is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an NLOS link.
Where long LOS links are required.
Where there are known to be high levels of interference.
In these areas, connectorized ODUs and external antennas should be used.
Choosing external antennas
When selecting external antennas, consider the following factors:
The required antenna gain.
Ease of mounting and alignment.
Use dual-polarization antenna (as the integrated antenna).
Note
Enter the antenna gain and cable loss into the Installation Wizard, if the country selected has
an EIRP limit, the corresponding maximum transmit power will be calculated automatically by
the unit.
Calculating RF cable length (5.8 GHz FCC only)
The 5.8 GHz band FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the ODU
and antenna of not less than 1.2 dB. If cable loss is below 1.2 dB with a 1.3 m (4 ft) diameter external
antenna, the connectorized 450 Platform Family may exceed the maximum radiated spurious emissions
allowed under FCC 5.8 GHz rules.
Cable loss depends mainly upon cable type and length. To meet or exceed the minimum loss of 1.2 dB,
use cables of the type and length specified in Table 78 (source: Times Microwave). This data excludes
connector losses.

Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Page 3-33
Data network planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning 450 Platform Family data networks.
Understanding addresses
A basic understanding of Internet Protocol (IP) address and subnet mask concepts is required for
engineering your IP network.
IP address
The IP address is a 32-bit binary number that has four parts (octets). This set of four octets has two
segments, depending on the class of IP address. The first segment identifies the network. The second
identifies the hosts or devices on the network. The subnet mask marks a boundary between these two
sub-addresses.
Dynamic or static addressing
For any computer to communicate with a module, the computer must be configured to either
use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). In this case, when not connected to the network,
the computer derives an IP address on the 169.254 network within two minutes.
have an assigned static IP address (for example, 169.254.1.5) on the 169.254 network.
Note
If an IP address that is set in the module is not the 169.254.x.x network address, then the
network operator must assign the computer a static IP address in the same subnet.
When a DHCP server is not found
To operate on a network, a computer requires an IP address, a subnet mask, and possibly a gateway
address. Either a DHCP server automatically assigns this configuration information to a computer on a
network or an operator must input these items.
When a computer is brought on line and a DHCP server is not accessible (such as when the server is
down or the computer is not plugged into the network), Microsoft and Apple operating systems default to
an IP address of 169.254.x.x and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (169.254/16, where /16 indicates that the
first 16 bits of the address range are identical among all members of the subnet).
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Page 3-34
DNS Client
The DNS Client is used to resolve names of management servers within the operator’s management
domain (see Figure 53). This feature allows hostname configuration for NTP servers, Authorization
Servers, DHCP relay servers, and SNMP trap servers. Operators may choose to either enter in the FQDN
(Fully Qualified Domain Name) for the host name or to manually enter the IP addresses of the servers.
Figure 53 Cambium networks management domain
Network Address Translation (NAT)
NAT, DHCP Server, DHCP Client and DMZ in SM
The system provides NAT (network address translation) for SMs in the following combinations of NAT and
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
NAT Disabled
NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP
Server
NAT with DHCP Client(DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface)
NAT with DHCP Server
NAT without DHCP
NAT
NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet/wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the
wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic (separate from
its address for management), terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP
addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet/wired side of the SM.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Page 3-35
In the Cambium system, NAT supports many protocols, including HTTP, ICMP (Internet Control Message
Protocols), and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). For virtual private network (VPN) implementation, L2TP over
IPSec (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol over IP Security) and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) are
supported.
DHCP
DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default
gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses,
and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system.
In conjunction with the NAT features, each SM provides:
A DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the SM by Ethernet protocol.
A DHCP client that receives an IP address for the SM from a network DHCP server.
DMZ
In conjunction with the NAT features, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) allows the assignment of one IP
address behind the SM for a device to logically exist outside the firewall and receive network traffic. The
first three octets of this IP address must be identical to the first three octets of the NAT private IP address.
Developing an IP addressing scheme
Network elements are accessed through IP Version 4 (IPv4) addressing.
A proper IP addressing method is critical to the operation and security of a network.
Each module requires an IP address on the network. This IP address is for only management purposes.
For security, you must either:
Assign a non-routable IP address.
Assign a routable IP address only if a firewall is present to protect the module.
You assign an IP addresses to computers and network components by either static or dynamic IP
addressing. You will also assign the appropriate subnet mask and network gateway to each module.
Address Resolution Protocol
As previously stated, the MAC address identifies a module in:
Communications between modules.
The data that modules store about each other.
The IP address is essential for data delivery through a router interface. Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) correlates MAC addresses to IP addresses.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Page 3-36
For communications to outside the network segment, ARP reads the network gateway address of the
router and translates it into the MAC address of the router. Then the communication is sent to MAC
address (physical network interface card) of the router.
For each router between the sending module and the destination, this sequence applies. The ARP
correlation is stored until the ARP cache times out.
Allocating subnets
The subnet mask is a 32-bit binary number that filters the IP address. Where a subnet mask contains a bit
set to 1, the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network address.
Example IP address and subnet mask
In Figure 54, the first 16 bits of the 32-bit IP address identify the network:
Figure 54 Example of IP address in Class B subnet
Octet 1 Octet 2 Octet 3 Octet 4
IP address 169.254.1.1 10101001 11111110 00000001 00000001
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 11111111 11111111 00000000 00000000
In this example, the network address is 169.254 and 216 (65,536) hosts are addressable.
Selecting non-routable IP addresses
The factory default assignments for network elements are:
Unique MAC address
IP address of 169.254.1.1
Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
Network gateway address of 169.254.0.0
For each radio and CMM4, assign an IP address that is both consistent with the IP addressing plan for
your network and cannot be accessed from the Internet. IP addresses within the following ranges are not
routable from the Internet, regardless of whether a firewall is configured:
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
Also, the subnet mask and network gateway for each CMM4 can be assigned.
Translation bridging
Optionally, the AP can be configured to change the source MAC address in every packet it receives from
its SMs to the MAC address of the SM/BHS that bridged the packet, before forwarding the packet toward
the public network. In this case:
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Page 3-37
Not more than 128 IP devices at any time are valid to send data to the AP from behind the SM.
SM populates the Translation Table tab of its Statistics web page, displaying the MAC address and IP
address of all the valid connected devices.
Each entry in the Translation Table is associated with the number of minutes that have elapsed since
the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM.
If 128 are connected, and another attempts to connect:
o If no Translation Table entry is older than 255 minutes, the attempt is ignored.
o If an entry is older than 255 minutes, the oldest entry is removed and the attempt is successful.
The Send Untranslated ARP parameter in the General tab of the Configuration page can be:
o Disabled, so that the AP overwrites the MAC address in ARP packets before forwarding them.
o Enabled, so that the AP forwards ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC
address.
This is the Translation Bridging feature, which you can enable in the General page of the Configuration
web page in the AP. When this feature is disabled, the setting of the Send Untranslated ARP parameter
has no effect, because all packets are forwarded untranslated (with the source MAC address intact). See
Address Resolution Protocol on Page 3-35.
Engineering VLANs
The radios support VLAN functionality as defined in the 802.1Q (Virtual LANs) specification, except for
the following aspects of that specification:
Protocols:
o Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) GARV
o Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
o Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
o GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP)
Embedded source routing (ERIF) in the 802.1Q header
Multicast pruning
Flooding unknown unicast frames in the downlink
As an additional exception, the AP/BHM does not flood downward the unknown unicast frames to the
SM/BHS.
A VLAN configuration in Layer 2 establishes a logical group within the network. Each computer in the
VLAN, regardless of initial or eventual physical location, has access to the same data. For the network
operator, this provides flexibility in network segmentation, simpler management, and enhanced security.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Page 3-38
Special case VLAN numbers
This system handles special case VLAN numbers according to IEEE specifications:
Table 79 Special case VLAN IDs
VLAN Number Purpose Usage Constraint
0 These packets have 802.1p priority, but are
otherwise handled as untagged.
Must not be used as a
management VLAN.
1
Although not noted as special case by IEEE
specifications, these packets identify traffic that
was untagged upon ingress into the SM and
must remain untagged upon egress. This policy
is hard-coded in the AP.
Must not be used for
system VLAN traffic.
4095 This VLAN is reserved for internal use. Must not be used at all.
SM membership in VLANs
With the supported VLAN functionality, the radios determine bridge forwarding on the basis of not only the
destination MAC address, but also the VLAN ID of the destination. This provides flexibility in how SMs are
used:
Each SM can be a member in its own VLAN.
Each SM can be in its own broadcast domain, such that only the radios that are members of the
VLAN can see broadcast and multicast traffic to and from the SM.
The network operator can define a work group of SMs, regardless of the AP(s) to which they register.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning

PMP 450 Platform Family modules provide the VLAN frame filters that are described in Table 80.

Priority on VLANs (802.1p)
The radios can prioritize traffic based on the eight priorities described in the IEEE 802.1p specification.
When the high-priority channel is enabled on a SM, regardless of whether VLAN is enabled on the AP for
the sector, packets received with a priority of 4 through 7 in the 802.1p field are forwarded onto the high-
priority channel.
Operators may configure priority precedence as 802.1p Then Diffserv (Default) or Diffserv Then 802.1p.
Since these priority precedence configurations are independent between the AP and SM, this setting
must be configured on both the AP and SM to ensure that the precedence is adhered to by both sides of
the link.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Page 3-40
VLAN settings can also cause the module to convert received non-VLAN packets into VLAN packets. In
this case, the 802.1p priority in packets leaving the module is set to the priority established by the
DiffServ configuration.
If VLAN is enabled, immediately monitor traffic to ensure that the results are as desired. For example,
high-priority traffic may block low-priority.
Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) Tagging (802.1ad)
PMP and PTP modules can be configured with 802.1ad Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) tagging which is a
way for an operator to put an 802.1Q VLAN inside of an 802.1ad VLAN. A nested VLAN, which is the
original 802.1Q tag and a new second 802.1ad tag, allows for bridging of VLAN traffic across a network
and segregates the broadcast domains of 802.1Q VLANs. Q-in-Q can be used with PPPoE and/or NAT.
The 802.1ad standard defines the S-VLAN as the Service Provider VLAN and the C-VLAN as the
customer VLAN. The radio software does 2 layer Q-in-Q whereby the C-VLAN is the 802.1Q tag and the
S-VLAN is the second layer Q tag as shown in Table 81.
Table 81 Q-in-Q Ethernet frame
Ethernet Header S-VLAN EthType
0x88a8
C-VLAN EthType
0x8100 IP Data EthType 0x0800
The 802.1ad S-VLAN is the outer VLAN that is configurable on the Configuration > VLAN web page of
the AP/BHM. The Q-in-Q EtherType parameter is configured with a default EtherType of 0x88a8 in
addition to four alternate EtherTypes that can be configured to aid in interoperability with existing
networks that use a different EtherType than the default.
The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top level concept, this operates
on the outermost tag at any given time, either “pushing” a tag on or “popping” a tag off. This means
packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag “pushed” on) or an
untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag “popped” off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition
from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.1Q frame (with the tag “popped” off) since the radio software only
supports 2 levels of tags.

Network management planning
This section describes how to plan for 450 Platform Family links to be managed remotely using SNMP.
Planning for SNMP operation
Cambium modules provide the following SNMP traps for automatic notifications to the NMS:
coldStart, which signals that the SNMPv2c element is reinitializing itself and that its configuration may
have been altered.
warmStart, which signals that the SNMPv2c element is reinitializing such that its configuration is
unaltered.
authenticationFailure, which signals that the SNMPv2c element has received a protocol message that
is not properly authenticated (contingent on the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object setting).
linkDown, as defined in RFC 1573
linkUp, as defined in RFC 1573
egpNeighborLoss, as defined in RFC 1213
whispGPSInSync, which signals a transition from not synchronized to synchronized.
whispGPSOutSync, which signals a transition from synchronized to not synchronized.
whispRegComplete, which signals registration completed.
whispRegLost, which signals registration lost.
whispRadarDetected, which signals that the one-minute scan has been completed, radar has been
detected and the radio will shut down.
whispRadarEnd, which signals that the one-minute scan has been completed, radar has not been
detected and the radio will resume normal operation.
Note
The proprietary MIBs are provided in the 450 Platform Family software download files in the
support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1).
Enabling SNMP
Enable the SNMP interface for use by configuring the following attributes in the SNMP Configuration
page:
SNMP State (default disabled)
SNMP Version (default SNMPv2c)
SNMP Port Number (default 161)

Isolating AP/BHM from the Internet
Ensure that the IP addresses of the AP/BHM in the network:
are not routable over the Internet.
do not share the subnet of the IP address of your user.
RFC 1918, Address Allocation for Private Subnets, reserves for private IP networks three blocks of IP
addresses that are not routable over the Internet:
/8 subnets have one reserved network, 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255.
/16 subnets have 16 reserved networks, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255.
/24 subnets have 256 reserved networks, 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.
Encrypting radio transmissions
Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP systems employ the following form of encryption for security of the
wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys
and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination
operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the
system.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael
algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified
as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A.
The default encryption setting for 450 Platform Family ODU is "None".

Planning for SNMPv3 operation
SNMP security mode
Decide how SNMPv3 security will be configured.
MIB-based security management uses standard SNMPv3 MIBs to configure the user-based security
model and the view-based access control model. This approach provides considerable flexibility, allowing
a network operator to tailor views and security levels appropriate for different types of user. MIB-based
security management may allow a network operator to take advantage of built-in security management
capabilities of existing network managers.
Web-based security management allows an operator to configure users, security levels, privacy and
authentication protocols, and passphrases using the 450 Platform Family web-based management
interface. The capabilities supported are somewhat less flexible than those supported using the MIB-
based security management, but will be sufficient in many applications. Selection of web-based
management for SNMPv3 security disables the MIB-based security management. 450 Platform Family
does not support concurrent use of MIB-based and web-based management of SNMPv3 security.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security
Initial configuration of SNMPv3 security is available only to HTTP or HTTPS user accounts with security
role of Security Officer.
Identify the format used for SNMP Engine ID. The following formats are available:
MAC address (default)
5 and 32 hex characters (the hex character input is driven by RFC 3411 recommendations on the
Engine ID)
Identify the user names and security roles of initial SNMPv3 users. Two security roles are available:
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Page 3-44
Read Only
System Administrator
Identify the security level for each of the security roles. Three security levels are available:
(a) No authentication, no privacy
(b) Authentication, no privacy
(c) Authentication, privacy
If authentication is required, identify the protocol. The authentication protocol available is MD5.
If privacy will be used, identify the protocol. The privacy protocol available is cbc-des.
Managing module access by passwords
From the factory, each module has a preconfigured administrator-level account in the name root, which
initially requires no associated password. When you upgrade a module:
An account is created in the name admin.
Both admin and root inherit the password that was previously used to access the module, if:
o Full Access password, if one was set.
o Display-Only Access password, if one was set and no Full Access password was set.
Caution
If you use Wireless Manager, do not delete the root account from any module. If you use a
NMS that communicates with modules through SNMP, do not delete the root account from
any module unless you first can confirm that the NMS does not rely on the root account for
access to the modules.
Each module supports four or fewer user accounts, regardless of account levels. The available levels are
ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of the root and admin
users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of them creates.
INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR except that the installer
cannot add or delete users or change the password of any other user.
TECHNICIAN, who has permissions to modify basic radio parameters and view informational web
pages.
GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status tab.
Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to
only see the items.
The ability to view information of General Status tab can be controlled by the "Site Information Viewable
to Guest Users" under the SNMP tab.
From the factory default state, configure passwords for both the root and admin account at the
ADMINISTRATOR permission level, using the Account > Change Users Password page. (If configure
only one of these, then the other will still require no password for access into it and thus remain a security
risk.) If you are intent on configuring only one of them, delete the admin account. The root account is
the only account that CNUT uses to update the module.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Page 3-45
After a password has been set for any ADMINISTRATOR-level account, initial access to the module GUI
opens the view of GUEST level.
Planning for RADIUS operation
Configure RADIUS where remote authentication is required for users of the web-based interface. Remote
authentication has the following advantages:
Control of passwords can be centralized.
Management of user accounts can be more sophisticated. For example; users can be prompted by a
network manager to change passwords at regular intervals. As another example, passwords can be
checked for inclusion of dictionary words and phrases.
Passwords can be updated without reconfiguring multiple network elements.
User accounts can be disabled without reconfiguring multiple network elements.
Remote authentication has one significant disadvantage in a wireless link product such as 450 Platform
Family. If the wireless link is down, a unit on the remote side of the broken link may be prevented from
contacting a RADIUS Server, with the result that users are unable to access the web-based interface.
One useful strategy would be to combine RADIUS authentication for normal operation with a single
locally-authenticated user account for emergency use.
PMP 450 Platform Family SM provides a choice of the following authentication methods:
Phase 1:
o EAP-MSCHAPv2
o EAP-TTLS
o EAP PEAP
Phase 2:
o PAP
o CHAP
o MSCHAPv2
Ensure that the authentication method selected in 450 Platform Family is supported by the RADIUS
server.
Filtering protocols and ports
Configure filters for specified protocols and ports from leaving the AP/BHM and SM/BHS and entering the
network. This protects the network from both intended and inadvertent packet loading or probing by
network users. By keeping the specified protocols or ports off the network, this feature also provides a
level of protection to users from each other.
Protocol and port filtering is set per AP/SM/BH. Except for filtering of SNMP ports, filtering occurs as
packets leave the AP/SM/BH.
For example, if SM is configured to filter SNMP, then SNMP packets are blocked from entering the SM
and, thereby, from interacting with the SNMP portion of the protocol stack on the SM.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Page 3-46
Port Filtering with NAT Enabled
Where NAT is enabled on the SM/BHS, the filtering can be enabled for only the user-defined ports. The
following are examples for situations where the configure port can be filtered where NAT is enabled:
To block a subscriber from using FTP, you can filter Ports 20 and 21 (the FTP ports) for both the TCP
and UDP protocols.
To block a subscriber from access to SNMP, you can filter Ports 161 and 162 (the SNMP ports) for
both the TCP and UDP protocols.
Note
In only the SNMP case, filtering occurs before the packet interacts with the protocol stack.
Protocol and Port Filtering with NAT Disabled
Where NAT is disabled on the SM/BHS, the filtering can be enabled for both protocols and the three user-
defined ports. Using the check boxes on the interface, it can be either:
Allow all protocols except those that user wish to block.
Block all protocols except those that user wish to allow.
Allow or block any of the following protocols:
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
Any or all of the following IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) protocols:
Any or all of the following IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) protocols:
o SMB (Network Neighborhood)
o SNMP
o Bootp Client
o Bootp Server
o Up to 3 user-defined ports
o All other IPv4 traffic (see Figure 29)
Any or all of the following IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) protocols:
o SMB (Network Neighborhood)
o SNMP
o Bootp Client
o Bootp Server
o Up to 3 user-defined ports
o All other IPv6 traffic (see Figure 29)
Filter Direction – Upstream and Downstream
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Page 3-47
Figure 55 Categorical protocol filtering
The following are example situations in which the protocol filtering is configured where NAT is disabled:
If a subscriber is blocked from only PPPoE and SNMP, then the subscriber retains access to all other
protocols and all ports.
If PPPoE, IPv4, and Uplink Broadcast are blocked, and also check the All others selection, then only
Address Resolution Protocol is not filtered.
The ports filtered as a result of protocol selections in the Protocol Filtering tab of the SM/BHS are listed
in Table 83.

Encrypting downlink broadcasts
An AP can be enabled to encrypt downlink broadcast packets such as the following:
ARP
NetBIOS
broadcast packets containing video data on UDP.
The encryption used is DES for a DES-configured module and AES for an AES-configured module.
Before the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast feature is enabled on the AP, air link security must be enabled on
the AP.
Isolating SMs in PMP
In an AP, SMs in the sector can be prevented from directly communicating with each other. In CMM4, the
connected APs can be prevented from directly communicating with each other, which prevents SMs that
are in different sectors of a cluster from communicating with each other.
In the AP, the SM Isolation parameter is available in the General tab of the Configuration web page.
Configure the SM Isolation feature by any of the following selections from drop-down menu:
Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs.
Enable Option 1 - Block SM destined packets from being forwarded. This prevents both
multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication.
Enable Option 2 - Forward SM destined packets upstream. This not only prevents
multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends the packets, which
otherwise may have been handled SM to SM, through the Ethernet port of the AP.
In the CMM and the CMM4, SM isolation treatment is the result of how to manage the port-based VLAN
feature of the embedded switch, where all traffic can be switched from any AP to a specified uplink port.
However, this is not packet level switching. It is not based on VLAN IDs.
Filtering management through Ethernet
Configure the SM to disallow any device that is connected to its Ethernet port from accessing the IP
address of the SM. If the Ethernet Access Control parameter is set to Enabled, then:
No attempt to access the SM management interface (by http, SNMP, ftp, or tftp) through Ethernet is
granted.
Any attempt to access the SM management interface over the air (by IP address, presuming that
LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Network Accessibility is set to Public, or by link from the
Session Status or Remote Subscribers tab in the AP) is unaffected.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Page 3-50
Allowing management from only specified IP
addresses
The Security sub-menu of the Configuration web page in the AP/BHM and SM/BHS includes the IP
Access Control parameter. Specify one, two, or three IP addresses that must be allowed to access the
management interface (by HTTP, SNMP, FTP or TFTP).
If the selection is:
IP Access Filtering Disabled, then management access is allowed from any IP address, even if the
Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 parameters are populated.
IP Access Filtering Enabled, and specify at least one address in the Allowed Source IP 1 to 3
parameter, then management access is limited to the specified address(es).
Configuring management IP by DHCP
The Configuration > IP web page of every radio contains a LAN1 Network Interface Configuration,
DHCP State parameter that, if enabled, causes the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway IP address) to be obtained through DHCP instead of the values of those individual parameters.
The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable, but is not settable, in the Network Interface tab
of the Home page.
In the SM/BHS, this parameter is settable
in the NAT tab of the Configuration web page, but only if NAT is enabled.
in the IP tab of the Configuration web page, but only if the Network Accessibility parameter in the IP
tab is set to Public.
DHCP option 81
The DHCP server can be used to register and update the pointer (PTR) and host (A) DNS resource
records on behalf of its DHCP-enabled clients.
The DHCP option 81 permits the client to provide its fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as well as
instructions to the DHCP server on how it would like the server to process DNS dynamic updates (if any)
on its behalf. The hostname is poplulated as SiteName.DomainName depending upon following
conditions:
If Sitename is default i.e. No Site Name , mac address will be used instead.
The SiteName should only be a-z | A-Z | 0-9 and period(.) and dash(-).
The domain name part should not start or end with dash (-).
The underscore or space in domain name part will be converted to dash(-), anything else apart from
valid characters will be skipped.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning

Controlling PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding
The AP supports the control of forwarding of PPPoE PADI (PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation) packets.
This forwarding is configured on the AP GUI Configuration > Radio page by parameter PPPoE PADI
Downlink Forwarding. When set to “Enabled”, the AP allows downstream and upstream transmission of
PPPoE PADI packets. When set to “Disabled”, the AP does NOT allow PPPoE PADI packets to be sent
out of the AP RF interface (downstream) but will allow PPPoE PADI packets to enter the RF interface
(upstream) and exit the Ethernet interface.
Chapter 3: System planning Remote AP Deployment
Page 3-52
Remote AP Deployment
In cases where the subscriber population is widely distributed, or conditions such as geography restrict
network deployment, you can add a Remote AP to:
provide high-throughput service to near LoS business subscribers.
reach around obstructions or penetrate foliage with non-LoS throughput.
reach new, especially widely distributed, residential subscribers with broadband service.
pass sync to an additional RF hop.
In the remote AP configuration, a remote AP is co-located with an SM. The remote AP distributes the
signal to SMs that are logically behind the co-located SM. A remote AP deployment is illustrated in Figure
56.
Figure 56 Remote AP deployment
The co-located SM receives data in one channel, and the remote AP must redistribute the data in a
different channel. The two channels need to have a frequency gap equal to at least two times the used
channel bandwidth.
Base your selection of frequency band ranges on regulatory restrictions, environmental conditions, and
throughput requirements.
Note
Each relay hop (additional daisy-chained remote AP) adds approximately 5-7 msec round
trip latency.
Chapter 3: System planning Remote AP Deployment
Page 3-53
Remote AP (RAP) Performance
The performance of a remote AP is identical to the AP performance in cluster. Throughputs, ranges, and
antenna coverage are identical.
As with all equipment operating in the unlicensed spectrum, Cambium strongly recommends that you
perform site surveys before you add network elements. These will indicate that spectrum is available in
the area where you want to grow. Keep in mind that:
non-LoS ranges heavily depend on environmental conditions.
in most regions, not all frequencies are available.
your deployments must be consistent with local regulatory restrictions.
Example Use Case for RF Obstructions
A remote AP can be used to provide last-mile access to a community where RF obstructions prevent SMs
from communicating with the higher-level AP in cluster. For example, you may be able to use 900 MHz for
the last mile between a remote AP and the outlying SMs where these subscribers cannot form good links
to a higher-level 5 GHz AP. In this case, the ability of the 900-MHz wavelength to be effective around
foliage at short range solves the foliage penetration problem.
An example of this use case is shown in Figure 57.
In this example, the 5 GHz AP is a PMP 450i AP in the 5.8 GHz band operating on a 20 MHz channel
with a 2.5 ms frame; the SMs are 5 GHz PMP 450 integrated SMs. The SM connected to the remote AP
is a PMP 450i SM.
The remote AP is a PMP 450i AP in the 900 MHz band, also operating in a 20 MHz channel with a 2.5 ms
frame; the SMs are 900 MHz PMP 450 connectorized SMs using the Cambium 23 dBi gain antenna.
Chapter 3: System planning Remote AP Deployment
Page 3-54
Figure 57 Example for 900-MHz remote AP behind 5 GHz SM
The 5 GHz modules provide a sustained aggregate throughput of up to 126 Mbps to the sector. One of
the SMs in the sector is wired to a 900-MHz remote AP, which provides NLoS sustained aggregate
throughput2 of:
126 Mbps to 900-MHz SMs up to 4 miles away in the sector.
94 Mbps to 900-MHz SMs between 4 and 10 miles away in the sector.
Example Use Case for Passing Sync
All radios support the remote AP functionality. The BHS and the SM can reliably pass the sync pulse, and
the BHM and AP can reliably receive it.
However, not all devices are compatible with all other devices. The following table shows which SMs can
be connected to which APs.
Devices PMP 450 AP/BHM PMP 450i AP/BHM PMP 450m AP
PMP 450 SM/BHS X
PMP 450i SM/BHS X X
Examples of passing sync over cable are shown under Passing Sync in an Additional Hop on page 3-57.
2 NLoS ranges depend on environmental conditions. Your results may vary from these.
Chapter 3: System planning Remote AP Deployment
Page 3-55
For PMP 450, the sync is passed in a cable that connects Pins 1 and 6 of the RJ-11 timing ports of the
two modules.
For PMP 450i/450m the sync is passed in a cable that connects Pins7 and 8 of the RJ-45 timing ports of
the two modules.
When connecting modules in this way, make sure the AP and SM are properly configured, as described
in the Wiring to Extend Network Sync.
Physical Connections Involving the Remote AP
The SM to which a remote AP is connected to can be either an SM that serves a customer or an SM that
simply serves as a relay. If the SM serves a customer, wire the remote AP to the SM as shown in Figure
58.
Figure 58 Remote AP wired to SM that also serves a customer
If the SM simply serves as a relay, you must use a straight-through RJ-45 female-to-female coupler and
wire the SM to the remote AP as shown in Figure 59.

Passing Sync signal
Passing Sync in a Single Hop
Network sync can be passed in a single hop in the following network designs:
Design 1
o A CMM provides sync to a co-located AP.
o This AP sends the sync over the air to SMs.
Design 2
o A CMM provides sync to a co-located BH timing master.
o This BH timing master sends the sync over the air to a BH timing slave.
Passing Sync in an Additional Hop
Network sync can be extended by one additional link in any of the following network designs:
Note
In each of these following designs, Link 2 is not on the same frequency band as Link 4. (For
example, Link 2 may be a 5.2 GHz link while Link 4 is a 5.7 or 2.4 GHz link.)
Design 3
o A CMM provides sync to a co-located AP.
o This AP sends the sync over the air to an SM.
o This SM delivers the sync to a co-located AP.
o This AP passes the sync in the additional link over the air to SMs.
This design is illustrated in Figure 60.

o A CMM provides sync to a co-located AP.
o This AP sends the sync over the air to an SM.
o This SM delivers the sync to a co-located BHM.
o This BHM passes the sync in the additional link over the air to a BHS.
This design is illustrated in Figure 61.

o A CMM provides sync to a co-located BHM or the BHM generates timing.
o This BHM sends the sync over the air to a BHS.
o This BHS delivers the sync to a co-located AP.
This AP passes the sync in the additional link over the air to SMs.
This design is illustrated in Figure 62.

Wiring to Extend Network Sync
The following procedure can be used to extend network sync by one additional hop, as described under
Passing Sync in an Additional Hop on page 3-57. When a co-located module receives sync over the air,
the co-located modules can be wired to pass the sync as follows:
1. Connect the GPS Utility ports of the co-located modules using a sync cable with RJ-11 (for 450)
or RJ-45 (for 450i/450m) connectors.
2. Set the Sync Input parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located AP or BH timing master
to AutoSync.
3. Set the Device Type parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located AP or BH timing
master to Remote.
4. Set the Sync Output to Aux Port parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located AP or BH
timing master to Disabled.
5. Set the UGPS Power parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located AP or BH timing
master to Disabled.
6. Set the Frame Timing Pulse Gated parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located SM or
BH timing slave to Enable.
Note
This setting prevents interference in the event that the SM or BH timing slave loses sync.

with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work

or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed.
4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
as modifying the License.
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
the conditions stated in this License.

any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of

unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Cambium Networks end user license agreement

Power density exposure limit
Install the radios for the 450 Platform Family of wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the
minimum separation distances from all persons.
The applicable FCC power density exposure limit for RF energy in the 4.9, 5.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency
bands is 10 W/m2 and in 900 MHz frequency band is 6 W/m2. For more information, see Human
exposure to radio frequency energy on page 4-22.
The applicable ISEDC power density exposure limit for RF energy in unlicensed bands is 0.02619 *
(f^(0.6834)), where f is the lowest frequency of the supported band. For licensed bands, the power
density exposure limit is 0.6455 * (f^(0.5)), where f is the lowest frequency of the supported band.

Calculation of power density
The following calculation is based on the ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991 method, as that provides a worst case
analysis. Details of the assessment to EN50383:2002 can be provided, if required.
Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
Where: Is:
S power density in W/m2
P maximum average transmit power
capability of the radio, in W
G total Tx gain as a factor, converted from
dB
d distance from point source, in m
Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields:
Calculated distances and power compliance margins
Table 88 and Table 89 shows calculated minimum separation distances, recommended distances and
resulting margins for each frequency band and antenna combination for the USA and Canada. These are
conservative distances that include compliance margins. At these and greater separation distances, the
power density from the RF field is below generally accepted limits for the general population.
450 Platform Family ODU adheres to all applicable EIRP limits for transmit power when operating in
MIMO mode. Separation distances and compliance margins include compensation for both transmitters.
Explanation of terms used in Table 88 and Table 89:
P burst – maximum average transmit power during transmit burst (Watt)
P – maximum average transmit power of the radio (Watt)
G – total transmit gain as a factor, converted from dB
S – power density (Watt/m2)
d – minimum safe separation distance from point source (meters)

Note
Gain of antenna in dBi = 10 * log(G).
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.
Remarque
Gain de l'antenne en dBi = 10 * log(G).
Les règlements exigent que la puissance utilisée pour les calculs soit la puissance maximale
de la rafale de transmission soumis à une réduction pour prendre en compte le rapport
cyclique pour les signaux modulés dans le temps.
Pour une opération dans la CEE dans les bandes 5,4 GHz et 5,8 GHz, les produits sont
généralement limités à une PIRE qui peut être atteinte avec l'antenne intégrée. Les calculs
ci-dessus supposent que la PIRE maximale autorisée par la réglementation est atteinte.
Note
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.
Remarque
Si aucune limite de PIRE existe pour le pays de déploiement, utilisez les calculs de distance
pour FCC 5,8 GHz pour toutes les bandes de fréquence.
Pour la band FCC 5,8 GHz et les antennes entre 0,6 m (2 pieds) et 1,8 m (6 pieds), modifier
la distance proportionnellement au gain de l'antenne.

Safety
Warning
To prevent loss of life or physical injury, observe the following safety guidelines. In no event
shall Cambium Networks be liable for any injury or damage caused during the installation of
the Cambium 450 Platform Family. Ensure that only qualified personnel install a 450
Platform link.
Hazardous locations
Warning
When installing the PMP/PTP 450i ATEX/HAZLOC product variants in hazardous locations,
follow the instructions contained in the PMP/PTP 450i Series Hazardous Location Guide
(supplied in box with the products), in addition to the instructions in this user guide.
Power lines
Exercise extreme care when working near power lines.
Working at heights
Exercise extreme care when working at heights.
Power supply
Always use one of the Cambium 450 Platform Family power supply units (PSU) to power the ODU.
Failure to use a Cambium supplied PoE could result in equipment damage and will invalidate the safety
certification and may cause a safety hazard.
Grounding and protective earth
The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It is the user’s
responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with national regulations. In the USA follow the
requirements of the National Electrical code NFPA 70-2005 and 780-2004 Installation of Lightning
Protection Systems. In Canada, follow Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. 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. Other regulations may
apply in different countries and therefore it is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be
contracted to a professional installer.
Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Safety
Page 5-3
Powering down before servicing
Always power down and unplug the equipment before servicing.
Primary disconnect device
The ODU power supply is the primary disconnect device.
External cables
Safety may be compromised if outdoor rated cables are not used for connections that will be exposed to
the outdoor environment. For outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet interfaces, always use Cat5e cable that is
gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel.
RF exposure near the antenna
Strong radio frequency (RF) fields will be present close to the antenna when the transmitter is on. Always
turn off the power to the ODU before undertaking maintenance activities in front of the antenna.
Minimum separation distances
Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units start to radiate RF
energy as soon as they are powered up. Never work in front of the antenna when the ODU is powered.
Install the ODUs so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from all persons. For
minimum separation distances, see Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-24.
Grounding and lightning protection requirements
Ensure that the installation meets the requirements defined in Grounding and lightning protection on page
3-8.
Grounding cable installation methods
To provide effective protection against lightning induced surges, observe these requirements:
Grounding conductor runs are as short, straight and smooth as possible, with bends and curves kept
to a minimum.
Grounding cables must not be installed with drip loops.
Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Safety
Page 5-4
All bends must have a minimum radius of 200 mm (8 in) and a minimum angle of 90°. A diagonal run
is preferable to a bend, even though it does not follow the contour or run parallel to the supporting
structure.
All bends, curves and connections must be routed towards the grounding electrode system, ground
rod, or ground bar.
Grounding conductors must be securely fastened.
Braided grounding conductors must not be used.
Approved bonding techniques must be used for the connection of dissimilar metals.
Siting ODUs and antennas
ODUs, external antennas and GPS receivers are not designed to survive direct lightning strikes. For this
reason they must be installed in Zone B as defined in Lightning protection zones on page 3-9. Mounting
in Zone A may put equipment, structures and life at risk.
Thermal Safety
The ODU enclosure may be hot to the touch when in operation. The ODU must not be operated in
ambient temperatures exceeding 40°C unless mounted in a Restricted Access Location. For more
information, see ODU ambient temperature limits on page 3-10.
Warning
Do not install the ODU in a location where the ambient temperature could exceed 40°C
unless this is a Restricted Access Location as defined by EN 60950-1.
Alerte
L’unité externe ne doit pas être installée dans un endroit où la température ambiante est
supérieure à 40C à moins que l’accès soit limité au personnel autorisé.
Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Preparing for installation
Page 5-5
Preparing for installation
ODU pre-configuration
It is common practice to pre-configure the units during staging before site installation by performing the
following tasks:
Connecting to the unit
Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces
Upgrading the software version and using CNUT
General configuration
Configuring security
Configuring radio parameters
Setting up SNMP agent
Configuring syslog
Configuring remote access
Monitoring the Link
Configuring quality of service
Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66
Configuring Radio via config file
Configuring a RADIUS server
If the units are to be pre-configured during staging, the safety precautions below MUST be observed.
Preparing personnel
In no event shall Cambium Networks be liable for any injury or damage caused during the installation of
the Cambium 450 Platform Family ODU.
Ensure that only qualified personnel undertake the installation of a 450 Platform system.
Ensure that all safety precautions are observed.
Preparing inventory
Perform the following inventory checks:
Check that the correct components are available, as described in Ordering the components on page
2-60.
Check the contents of all packages against their packing lists.
Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Preparing for installation
Page 5-6
Preparing tools
Check that following specific tools are available, in addition to general tools:
RJ45 crimp tool (it must be the correct tool for the type of RJ45 being used).
Personal Computer (PC) with 10 or 100 or 1000 BaseT Ethernet port
Web browser
Ethernet patch cables
Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components
Page 5-7
Testing system components
The best practice is to connect all components—AP/BHM, SMs/BHS, GPS antenna (if applicable) and
CMM (if applicable)—in a test setting and initially configure and verify them before deploying them to an
installation. In this way, any configuration issues are worked out before going on-site, on a tower, in the
weather, where the discovery of configuration issues or marginal hardware is more problematic and work-
flow affecting.
Unpacking Components
When a delivery arrives, inspect all packages immediately for damages.
Carefully unpack the equipment, verify that all the components have arrived as per order and are in good
condition. Save all packaging materials for equipment transportation to the installation site.
Preparing the ODU
After the equipment is unpacked, the units may be configured for staging tests.
Use either of two methods to configure an AP/BHM:
Use the Quick Start feature of the product (via GUI menu Quick Start)
Manually set each parameter
After changing configuration parameters on a GUI web page:
Before you leave a web page, click the Save button to save the change(s)
After making change(s) on multiple web pages, click the Reboot button to reboot the module and
implement the change(s)
Configuring the Computing Device for Test
If the computer is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), disconnect the computer
from the network. If the computer is instead configured for static IP addressing
Set the static address in the 169.254 network
Set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
For detailed instructions, see section Configuring the management PC on page 5-16.
Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components
Page 5-8
Factory default Configuration
From the factory, the APs/BHMs and SMs/BHSs are all configured to not transmit on any frequency. This
configuration ensures that equipment operators do not accidentally turn on an unsynchronized module.
Site synchronization of modules is required because
modules:
o cannot transmit and receive signals at the same time.
o use TDD (Time Division Duplexing) to distribute signal access of the downlink and uplink frames.
when one module transmits while an unintended module nearby receives signal, the transmitting
module may interfere with or desense the receiving module. In this context, interference is self-
interference (within the same network).
ODU interfaces

standard.
Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components
Page 5-10
Best Practices for Cabling
The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
Use only shielded cables to resist interference.
For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief.
Include a 2-ft (0.6-m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and
contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed.
Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the
device.
Properly crimp all connectors.
Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion.
Use only shielded connectors to resist interference and corrosion.
Wiring Connectors
The following diagrams correlate pins to wire colors and illustrate crossovers where applicable.

General protection installation
To adequately protect a 450 Platform Family installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge
suppression are required.
Grounding cable requirements
When routing, fastening and connecting grounding cables, the following requirements must be
implemented:
Grounding conductors must be run as short, straight, and smoothly as possible, with the fewest
possible number of bends and curves.
Grounding cables must not be installed with drip loops.
All bends must have a minimum radius of 203 mm (8 in) and a minimum angle of 90° (Figure 72). A
diagonal run is preferable to a bend, even though it does not follow the contour or run parallel to the
supporting structure.
All bends, curves and connections must be routed towards the grounding electrode system, ground
rod, or ground bar.
Grounding conductors must be securely fastened.
Braided grounding conductors must not be used.
Approved bonding techniques must be used for the connection of dissimilar metals.
Chapter 6: Installation Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor
Page 6-14
Figure 72 Grounding cable minimum bend radius and angle
Caution
Do not attach grounding cables to the ODU mounting bracket bolts, as this arrangement will
not provide full protection.
Chapter 6: Installation Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor
Page 6-15
Basic requirements
The following basic protection requirements must be implemented:
ODU must be in ‘Zone B’ (see Lightning protection zones on page 3-9).
ODU must be grounded to the supporting structure.
A surge suppression unit must be installed on the outside of the building.
The distance between the ODU and Gigabit Surge Suppressor should be kept to a minimum.
The drop cable must not be laid alongside a lightning air terminal.
All grounding cables must be a minimum size of 10 mm2 csa (8AWG), preferably 16 mm2 csa
(6AWG), or 25 mm2 csa (4AWG).
Protection requirements for a wall installation
If the ODU is to be mounted on the wall of a building, then in addition to the general protection
requirements (above), the following requirements must be observed:
The equipment must be lower than the top of the building or its lightning air terminal.
The building must be correctly grounded.
Schematic examples of wall installations are shown in Figure 73.

Protection requirements on a multifloor building
If the ODU is to be mounted on a high rise building, it is likely that cable entry is at roof level (Figure 42)
and the equipment room is several floors below. The following additional requirements must be observed:
The ODU must be below the lightning terminals and finials.
A grounding conductor must be installed around the roof perimeter to form the main roof perimeter
lightning protection ring.
Air terminals are typically installed along the length of the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring
typically every 6.1m (20ft).
The main roof perimeter lightning protection ring must contain at least two down conductors
connected to the grounding electrode system. The down conductors should be physically separated
from one another, as far as practical.

Note
Use shielded cable for all infrastructure connections associated with APs, SMs, and CMMs.
The environment that these modules operate in often has significant unknown or varying RF
energy. Operator experience consistently indicates that the additional cost of shielded cables
is more than compensated by predictable operation and reduced costs for troubleshooting
and support.

3 Use a local map, compass, and/or GPS device as needed to determine the direction that one or
more APs require to each cover the 90° sector.
Chapter 6: Installation Installing external antennas to a connectorized ODU
Page 6-39
4 Choose the best mounting location for your particular application.
Note
Use the embedded spectrum analyzer or a commercial analyzer to evaluate the
frequencies present in various locations. OFDM APs need not be mounted next to
each other. They can be distributed throughout a given site. However, the 90° offset
must be maintained. If you want to collocate these APs with PMP 100 Series APs of
the 5.4-GHz frequency band range, plan to allow at least 25 MHz of separation
between their center channels.
5 Secure a ground strap to the ground lug on the back of the AP.
6 Secure the ground strap to the pole, tower, or other trusted ground.
7 The bracket of the standard antenna has provision for measured down tilt. The recommended
practice is to use one of the many radio analysis and mapping tools or on-line tools to calculate
down tilt based on antenna height above the service area.
The proper angle of tilt can be calculated as a factor of both the difference in elevation and the
distance that the link spans. Even in this case, a plumb line and a protractor can be helpful to
ensure the proper tilt. This tilt is typically minimal.
The number of degrees to offset (from vertical) the mounting hardware leg of the support tube is
equal to the angle of elevation from the lower module to the higher module (<B in the example
provided in Figure 65).
