About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Important regulatory information
The PTP 650 product is certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not allowed
to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated
special requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices.
Unlicensed devices must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.
The PTP 650 provides detect and avoid functionality for countries and frequency bands requiring
protection for radar systems.
Installers and users must meet all local regulatory requirements for radar detection. To
meet these requirements, users must install a license key for the correct country during
commissioning of the PTP 650. If this is not done, installers and users may be liable to civil

USA and Canada specific information
The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has asked manufacturers to implement
special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600
MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in
the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz.
Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of
FCC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions
that have been demonstrated to the FCC.
In order to comply with these FCC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the PTP 650 for
operation in the USA or Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that
comply with FCC/IC rules. In particular, operation of radio channels overlapping the band
5600-5650 MHz is not allowed and these channels are permanently barred.
In addition, other channels may also need to be barred when operating close to weather radar
installations.
Note
To ensure compliance with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII
Devices Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS
Capabilities), follow Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) on page 3-20.

About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Other variants of the PTP 650 are available for use in the rest of the world, but these variants are
not supplied to the USA or Canada except under strict controls, when they are needed for export
and deployment outside the USA or Canada.
Specific expertise and training required for professional
installers
To ensure that the PTP 650 is installed and configured in compliance with the requirements of
Industry Canada and the FCC, installers must have the radio engineering skills and training
described in this section. This is particularly important when installing and configuring a PTP 650
system for operation in the 5.4 GHz UNII band.
Avoidance of weather radars
The installer must be familiar with the requirements in FCC KDB 443999. Essentially, the installer
must be able to:
• Access the FCC data base of weather radar location and channel frequencies.
• Use this information to correctly configure the product (using the GUI) to avoid operation on
channels that should be barred according to the guidelines that are contained in the KDB and
explained in detail in this user guide.
External antennas
When using a connectorized version of the product (as compared to the version with an integrated
antenna), 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.
Ethernet networking skills
The installer must have the ability to configure IP addressing on a PC and to set up and control
products using a web browser interface.

Lightning protection
To protect outdoor radio installations from the impact of lightning strikes, the installer must be
familiar with the normal procedures for site selection, bonding and grounding. Installation
guidelines for the PTP 650 can be found in Chapter 2: System hardware and Chapter 5: Installation.
Training
The installer needs to have basic competence in radio and IP network installation. The specific
requirements applicable to the PTP 650 should be gained by reading Chapter 5: Installation and
Chapter 6: Configuration and alignment and by performing sample set ups at base workshop
before live deployments.

Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the PTP 650
Overview of the PTP 650
This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants and components of the
PTP 650.
Purpose
Cambium PTP 650 Series Bridge products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-to-point
microwave links in unlicensed and lightly-licensed frequency bands between 4.9 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
Users must ensure that the PTP 650 Series complies with local operating regulations.
The PTP 650 Series
acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of the operator’s network.
In this sense, it can be treated as a virtual wired connection between two points. The PTP 650
Series
forwards 802.3 Ethernet frames destined for the other part of the network and filters frames
it does not need to forward. The system is transparent to higher-level protocols such as VLANs
and Spanning Tree.
Key features
The PTP 650 is a high performance wireless bridge for Ethernet traffic with a maximum throughput
of 450 Mbps. It is capable of operating in line-of-sight (LOS), near-LOS and non-LOS propagation
condition. Its maximum LOS range is 200 km.
The PTP 650 operates in unlicensed and lightly-licensed frequency bands between 4.9 and 5.8 GHz.
It has a very high spectral efficiency of 10 bps/Hz and supports a channel bandwidth of up to
45 MHz. The integrated ODU has its own flat plate antenna. The connectorized ODU is designed for
use with an external antenna.
The wireless link is TDD based and supports both symmetric and asymmetric configurations.
From a network point-of-view, the PTP 650 wireless link is a transparent Layer 2 bridge. It supports
up to three Gigabit Ethernet ports. Two ports support twisted pair Gigabit Ethernet. One of them is
capable of providing power via standard 802.3at PoE to an external device such as a video
surveillance camera or a wireless access point. The third port accepts either a twisted pair or fibre
GE SFP module.
PTP 650 has extensive quality of service (QoS) classification capability and supports up to eight
levels of queues. Management of the unit may be via the same interface as the bridged traffic (in-
band management) or on a separate port (out-of-band local management).
Table 1 gives a summary of the main PTP 650 characteristics.

Typical bridge deployment
The PTP 650 is an “all outdoor” solution consisting of a wireless bridge between two sites. Each
site installation consists of an integrated or connectorized outdoor unit (ODU) and a power injector
(PSU) (Figure 1). The ODU provides the following interfaces:
• PSU port: This provides proprietary power over Ethernet and connection to the management
and/or data networks via 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet. In the basic configuration, this
is the only Ethernet connection to the ODU.
• SFP port: This provides an optical or copper Gigabit Ethernet interface for out-of-band local
management, user data or user data with in-band management.
• Aux port: This provides an optional power and 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet
connection to an IEEE803.2at device such as a video camera or wireless access point.

Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the PTP 650
Hardware overview
The main hardware components of the PTP 650 are as follows:
• Outdoor unit (ODU): The ODU is a self-contained transceiver unit that houses both radio and
networking electronics. The ODU is supplied in the following product variants:
o Integrated or Connectorized: The ODU may be either Integrated (attached to its own flat
plate antenna) or connectorized (without an antenna).
o FCC/IC, EU or RoW: These variants are for deployment in the USA and Canada, the EU and
the rest of the world respectively.
• Power supply unit (PSU): There is a choice of two PSUs:
o The AC Power Injector is suitable for installations without an auxiliary device.
o The AC+DC power injector is required when powering from a DC supply or when the PSU
is needed to operate at extreme temperatures.
• Antennas and antenna cabling: Connectorized ODUs require external antennas connected
using RF cable.
• Ethernet cabling: All configurations require a copper Ethernet Cat5e connection from the ODU
(PSU port) to the PSU. Advanced configurations may also require one or both of the following:
o A copper or optical Ethernet connection from the ODU (SFP port) to network terminating
equipment or another device.
o A copper Ethernet Cat5e connection from the ODU (Aux port) to an auxiliary device.
• Lightning protection unit (LPU): LPUs are installed in the PSU and Aux copper drop cables to
provide transient voltage surge suppression.
• Ground cables: ODU, LPUs and outdoor copper Ethernet cables are bonded to the site
grounding system using ground cables.
For more information about these components, including interfaces, specifications and Cambium
part numbers, refer to Chapter 2: System hardware.

Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Wireless operation
This section describes how the PTP 650 wireless link is operated, including modulation modes,
power control and security.
Time division duplexing
TDD cycle
PTP 650 links operate using Time Division Duplexing (TDD). They use a TDD cycle in which the
ODUs alternately transmit and receive TDD bursts. The TDD cycle is illustrated in Figure 2. The
steps in the cycle are as follows:
1
The TDD m
aster transmits a burst to the TDD slave.
2
A delay occurs as the
master-slave burst propagates over the link.
3
The s
lave receives the burst from the master.
4
T
he slave processes the master-slave burst.
5
The slave transmits a burst to the
master.
6
A delay occurs as the
slave-master burst propagates over the link.
7
The m
aster receives the burst from the slave.
8
The m
aster transmits the next burst to the slave.
TDD frame parameters
The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following:
• Channel bandwidth
• Link range
• Link optimization mode
• Link symmetry
• Offered traffic loading.
The TDD frame duration varies depending on the following:
• TDD burst duration master-slave.
• TDD burst duration slave-master.
• Link range.
Page 1-6
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
The propagation delay in Step 2 is necessarily equal to the propagation delay in Step 6, and is
determined solely by the link range. There may be added delays between rx and tx on the master
and slave to minimize interference, as set up by the link planner or installer.
Figure 2
TDD cycle
Channel selection
The PTP 650 series links are capable of transmitting and receiving on the same channel or on
different channels. In other words, the slave-master direction may use a different channel from the
master-slave direction. Independent selection of transmit and receive frequencies can be useful in
planned networks or for countering interference.
When links operate in radar avoidance regions, each unit monitors its transmit channel for the
presence of radar signals. Therefore, the transmit and receive channels are always identical.
Page 1-7
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Link mode optimization
Link mode optimization allows the PTP 650 link to be optimized according to the type of traffic that
will be bridged. The link supports two modes, IP Traffic and TDM Traffic.
IP traffic
IP Traffic mode is optimized to provide the maximum possible link capacity. IP Traffic mode is an
appropriate choice where applications in the bridged networks provide some measure of reliable
transmission, and where very low latency is not critical. IP mode supports both fixed and adaptive
link symmetry (see Link symmetry on page 1-8).
TDM traffic
TDM Traffic mode is optimized to provide the lowest possible latency. TDM Traffic mode
additionally implements a more conservative approach to adaptive modulation, leading to lower
error rates in fading channels at the expense of slightly lower link capacity. TDM Traffic mode is an
appropriate choice for delay intolerant data without reliable transmission (for example voice over
IP data).
Link symmetry
The PTP 650 series provides four configuration options for apportioning the available capacity
between the two link directions.
•
Symmetric –
The Master and Slave have equal capacity. The PTP 650 series achieves this by
allocating an equal Burst Duration for the Master and the Slave.
•
2:1 –
The capacity in the direction Master to Slave is twice that of the direction Slave to Master.
The PTP 650 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Master to twice that of the
Slave.
•
1:2 –
The capacity in the direction Slave to Master is twice that of the direction Master to Slave.
The PTP 650 series achieves this by setting the Burst Duration of the Slave to twice that of the
Master.
•
Adaptive –
This is only available on the Full variant. The capacity allocated to a given link
direction is dependent on the offered level of network traffic in both link directions. If the level
of offered traffic in both directions is equally high or equally low, the PTP 650 will allocate
equal capacity to both directions. If however the offered level of traffic is greater in one
direction, it is allocated a greater proportion of the overall link capacity. The PTP 650 series
achieves this by increasing (or decreasing) the duration of the Transmit Burst in a given link
direction as the offered level of network traffic increases (or decreases) in this same direction.
This is done independently for the two directions.
Page 1-8
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Adaptive mode is not available in the following configurations:
• When link mode optimization is set to TDM Traffic (see Link mode optimization on page 1-8).
• In regions where radar avoidance is operational (see Radar avoidance on page 1-12).
• When the ODU is not a Full variant.
OFDM and channel bandwidth
The PTP 650 series transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This
wideband signal consists of many equally spaced sub-carriers. Although each sub carrier is
modulated at a low rate using conventional modulation schemes, the resultant data rate from the
sub-carriers is high. OFDM works exceptionally over a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) channel.
The channel bandwidth of the OFDM signal is configurable to one of the following values: 10, 20,
40 and 45 MHz. Higher bandwidths provide greater link capacity at the expense of using more
spectrum. Systems configured for a narrower channel bandwidth provide better receiver
sensitivity and can also be an appropriate choice in deployments where the amount of free
spectrum is limited.
Each channel is offset in center frequency from its neighboring channel by 10 or 5 MHz.
Note
The Channel Bandwidth must be configured to the same value at both ends of the link.
Not all channel bandwidths are available in all regulatory bands.
Spectrum management
The spectrum management feature of the PTP 650 Series monitors the available wireless spectrum
and directs both ends of the wireless link to operate on a channel with a minimum level of co-
channel and adjacent channel interference.
Spectrum management measurements
The PTP 650 Series performs two mean signal measurements per TDD cycle, per channel. This
mean measurement represents the mean received signal power for the 40 microsecond
measurement period.
The Spectrum Management algorithm collects measurements equally from all channels in the
operating band. This process is called the Channel Availability Check (CAC). The CAC uses a
round-robin channel selection process to collect an equal amount of measurements from each
channel. The CAC measurement process is not altered by the channel barring process.
Measurements are still collected for all channels irrespective of the number of barred channels.
Page 1-9
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Measurement analysis
Spectrum Management uses statistical analysis to process the received peak and mean
measurement. The statistical analysis is based on a fixed, one minute, measurement quantization
period. Spectrum Management collects data for the specified quantization period and only at the
end of the period is the statistical analysis performed.
Statistical summary
The display of statistical measurement on the spectrum management page always shows a
statistical summary of all channel measurement. The statistical summary is controlled by the
Statistics Window attribute. This attribute defaults to a value of twenty minutes, which means that
the mean and percentile values displayed for each channel are calculated over the 20 minute
period. All channel decisions are made using the values computed over the statistics window
period.
Spectrum management in fixed frequency mode
The transmit and receive frequencies can be fixed in a PTP 650 wireless link. Once fixed frequency
mode is configured, the spectrum management software will not attempt to move the wireless link
to a channel with lower co-channel and adjacent-channel interference. Therefore this mode of
operation is only recommended for deployments where the installer has a good understanding of
the prevailing interference environment. Care must also be taken to ensure that the frequency
allocations at each end of the link are compatible.
Fixed frequency mode is not available in regions where radar detection is required by the
regulations.
Adaptive modulation
The PTP 650 series can transport data over the wireless link using a number of different
modulation modes ranging from 256QAM 0.81 to BPSK 0.63. For a given channel bandwidth and
TDD frame structure, each modulation mode transports data at a fixed rate. Also, the receiver
requires a minimum signal to noise ratio in order to successfully demodulate a given modulation
mode. Although the more complex modulations such as 256QAM 0.81 will transport data at a
much higher rate than the less complex modulation modes, the receiver requires a much higher
signal to noise ratio.
The PTP 650 series provides an adaptive modulation scheme where the receiver constantly
monitors the quality of the received signal and notifies the far end of the link of the optimum
modulation mode with which to transmit. In this way, optimum capacity is achieved at all times.
This is one of a number of features which allows the PTP 650 to operate in challenging non-line of
sight radio channels.
Page 1-10
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Note
PTP LINKPlanner includes an estimate of mean data rate, the data rate provided by
each modulation and the percentage of time spent in each modulation mode.
MIMO
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and increase
the probability that the receiver will decode a usable signal. When the effects of MIMO are
combined with those of OFDM techniques and a high link budget, there is a high probability of a
robust connection over a non-line-of-sight path.
The PTP 650 transmits two signals on the same radio frequency, one of which is vertically
polarized and the other horizontally polarized. Depending on the channel conditions, the PTP 650
will adapt between two modes of operation:
•
Dual Payload
: When the radio channel conditions allow, the PTP 650 will transmit two different
and parallel data streams, one on the vertical channel and one on the horizontal channel. This
doubles the capacity of the PTP 650.
•
Single Payload
: As the radio channel becomes more challenging, the PTP 650 has the ability to
detect this and switch to a mode which transmits the same data stream on both vertical and
horizontal channels. This provides polar diversity and is another key feature which allows the
PTP 650 to operate in challenging non- line of sight radio channels.
Lower order modulations (BPSK 0.63 up to QPSK 0.87) only operate in single payload mode.
Higher order modulations (16QAM 0.63 to 256QAM 0.81) are available in single payload mode and
dual payload mode. The switching between modes is automatically controlled by the adaptive
modulation feature described in Adaptive modulation on page 1-10.
Note
The system automatically chooses between dual and single payload to try to increase
the capacity of a link. However the user can disable the dual payload mode, forcing
the more robust option of single payload.
Page 1-11
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Dynamic spectrum optimization
The PTP 650 series uses an interference mitigation technique known as Dynamic Spectrum
Optimization (DSO). Both the Master and Slave continually monitor for interference on all channels
and then select the best frequency of operation. This is a dynamic process where the PTP 650 can
continually move channels in response to changes in interference. Two modes of operation are
available:
• First mode: the two link directions are forced to select the same frequency, determined by the
Master.
• Second mode: the frequency of operation can be determined independently for each direction.
This mode is not permitted in radar regions.
Radar avoidance
In regions where protection of radars is part of the local regulations, the PTP 650 must detect
interference from radar-like systems and avoid co-channel operation with these systems.
To meet this requirement, the PTP 650 implements the following features:
• The radar detection algorithm will always scan a usable channel for 60 seconds for radar
interference before making the channel an available channel.
• This compulsory channel scan will mean that there is at least 60 seconds service outage every
time radar is detected and that the installation time is extended by at least 60 seconds even if
no radar is found.
• When operating on a channel, the spectrum management algorithm implements a radar
detection function which looks for impulsive interference on the operating channel. If
impulsive interference is detected, spectrum management will mark the current operating
channel as having detected radar (unavailable channel) and initiate a channel hop to an
available channel. The previous operating channel will remain in the unavailable state for
thirty minutes after the impulsive interference pulse was detected.
• After the thirty minutes have expired the channel will be returned to the usable channel pool.
There is a secondary requirement for bands requiring radar avoidance. Regulators have mandated
that products provide a uniform loading of the spectrum across all devices. In general, this
prevents operation with fixed frequency allocations. However:
• ETSI regulations do allow frequency planning of networks (as that has the same effect of
spreading the load across the spectrum).
• The FCC does allow channels to be barred if there is actually interference on them.
Page 1-12
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Note
Fixed frequency allocation is not recommended in radar avoidance regions, as any
radar detection would cause a system outage of at least 30 minutes.
Encryption
The PTP 650 supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The
encryption algorithm used is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit and 256-bit key
size. AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm approved by U.S. Government organizations (and
others) to protect sensitive information. The AES implementation in PTP 650 is approved to FIPS-
197. Encryption is enabled through the purchase of an upgrade.
License keys and regulatory bands
The PTP 650 license key specifies the country of operation for the ODU, and lists the regulatory
bands that are licensed by regulators in that country. If a license key provides access to more than
one regulatory band, PTP 650 provides a choice between the available bands. In each regulatory
band, PTP 650 sets the following aspects of wireless operation to comply with the applicable
regulations:
• Maximum transmit power
• Radar avoidance
• Transmit power reduction in edge channels
• Frequency range
• Channel plan
The country of operation (and thus the supported regulatory bands) can be changed by generating
a new license key at the License Key Generator page of the Cambium web-site, and entering the
new license key using the Installation Wizard.
Caution
To avoid possible enforcement action by the country regulator, always operate links in
accordance with local regulations.
Page 1-13
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
PTP networks
Using Dynamic Spectrum Optimization
The Dynamic Spectrum Optimization (DSO) feature allows a PTP 650 unit to select wireless
channels for a lower level of radio frequency (RF) interference. This approach is appropriate where
the network consists of a small number of PTP links, or where the RF interference is predominantly
from equipment belonging to other operators.
Using frequency planning
Networks will benefit from the use of fixed channel allocations if (a) the network consists of
multiple PTP links, and (b) RF interference predominantly arises from equipment in the same
network.
Frequency planning is the exercise of assigning operating channels to PTP units so as to minimize
RF interference between links. Frequency planning must consider interference from any PTP unit
to any other PTP unit in the network. Low levels of interference normally allow for stable operation
and high link capacity.
The frequency planning task is made more straightforward by use of the following techniques:
• Using several different channels
• Separating units located on the same mast
• Using high performance (directional) external antennas
For help with planning networks, refer to Chapter 3: System planning, or contact your Cambium
distributor or re-seller.

Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Ethernet bridging
This section describes how the PTP 650 processes Ethernet data, in both the customer and system
management networks.
Ethernet ports
The PTP 650 Series ODU has three Ethernet ports:
•
Main PSU
: The Main PSU port provides a copper Ethernet interface for 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T, and accepts power from the AC+DC Enhanced Power Injector or the AC Power
Injector to the ODU using a proprietary power over Ethernet (PoE) method.
•
Aux:
The Aux port provides a copper Ethernet interface for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T, and
supplies power from the ODU to external equipment using standards-based power over
Ethernet (PoE) complying with IEEE 802.3at.
•
SFP:
The SFP port is a small format pluggable receptacle accepting copper or optical plug-in
modules supplied as part of the SFP module kits on page 2-27.
Each of the three Ethernet ports can be allocated for customer data or network management in the
following ways:
•
Disabled:
The port is not in use for customer data or network management.
•
Data Only
: The port is connected to the customer data network only.
•
Data and In-Band Management
: The port is connected to the customer data network and to the
management agent of the local ODU
•
Out-of-Band Local Management
: The port is connected directly to the management agent of
the local ODU.
Port allocation is subject to the following rules:
• One port should be allocated to Data Only or Data and In-Band Management
• The remaining ports should be allocated to Disabled or Out-of-Band Local Management
Further examples of port allocation are provided in Chapter 3: System planning.
Note
The PTP 650 provides flexible interconnection of customer data and network
management using several Ethernet ports, but it does not contain a general-purpose
Ethernet switch, and it is not possible to forward traffic between the Ethernet ports of
the same ODU.
Page 1-15
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Customer data network
Transparent Ethernet service
The PTP 650 Series provides an Ethernet service between one of the Ethernet ports at a local ODU
and one of the Ethernet ports at an associated remote ODU. The Ethernet service is based on
conventional layer two transparent bridging, and is equivalent to the Ethernet Private Line (EPL)
service defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).
The service is transparent to untagged frames, standard VLAN frames, priority-tagged frames,
provider bridged frames, Q-in-Q frames and provider backbone bridged frames. In each case, the
service preserves MAC addresses, VLAN ID, Ethernet priority and Ethernet payload in the
forwarded frame. The maximum frame size for bridged frames in the customer network is
9600 bytes.
Note
There is no requirement for the customer data network to be connected to the same
Ethernet port at both ends of a wireless link. For example, it is possible to connect the
Main PSU port to the customer data network at one end of the link and to connect the
Aux port to the customer data network at the other end of the link.
Layer two control protocols
The PTP 650 Series is transparent to layer two control protocols (L2CP) including:
• Spanning tree protocol (STP), rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP)
• Multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP)
• Link aggregation control protocol (LACP)
• Link OAM, IEEE 802.3ah
• Port authentication, IEEE 802.1X
• Ethernet local management interface (E-LMI), ITU-T Q.933.
• Link layer discovery protocol (LLDP)
• Multiple registration protocol (MRP)
• Generic attribute registration protocol (GARP)
The PTP 650 Series does not generate or respond to any L2CP traffic.

Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Quality of service for bridged Ethernet traffic
The PTP 650 Series supports eight traffic queues for Ethernet frames waiting for transmission over
the wireless link. Ethernet frames are classified by inspection of the Ethernet priority code point in
the outermost VLAN tag, the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in an IPv4 or IPv6 header,
or the Traffic Class in an MPLS header.
PTP 650 provides a configurable mapping between Ethernet, IP or MPLS priority and transmission
queue, together with a simple way to restore a default mapping based on the recommended
default in IEEE 802.1Q-2005. Untagged frames, or frames with an unknown network layer protocol,
can be separately classified.
Scheduling for transmission over the wireless link is by strict priority. In other words, a frame at
the head of a given queue is transmitted only when all higher priority queues are empty.
Fragmentation
The PTP 650 Series minimizes latency and jitter for high-priority Ethernet traffic by fragmenting
Ethernet frames before transmission over the wireless link. The fragment size is selected
automatically according to channel bandwidth and modulation mode of the wireless link.
Fragments are reassembled on reception, and incomplete Ethernet frames are discarded.
Wireless link down alert
The PTP 650 Series provides an optional indication of failure of the wireless link by means of a
brief disconnection of the copper data port or the optical data port allocated to the customer data
network. The Wireless link down alert can be used to trigger protection switching by Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP) or Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS) and other higher layer
protocols in a redundant network.
Lowest Ethernet Modulation Mode
The PTP 650 ODU can be configured to discard Ethernet frames when the modulation mode is
lower than the configured Lowest Ethernet Modulation Mode.
This feature is likely to be useful in networks that have alternate routes, for example in a ring or
mesh topology where EAPS or RSTP is used to resolve loops. In this application, Lowest Ethernet
Modulation Mode should be set to ensure that an active link will provide at least the minimum
necessary capacity for high-priority constant bit rate traffic such as voice over IP or TDM pseudo
wire. An active link will be blocked when the capacity falls below the minimum required, triggering
a routing change in associated Ethernet switches to bring alternate links into use.
Lowest Ethernet Modulation Mode should normally be set to BPSK 0.63 Single in simply
connected tree networks or other topologies that do not have alternative routes.

Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Network management
IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces
The PTP 650 ODU contains an embedded management agent with IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
Network management communication is exclusively based on IP and associated higher layer
transport and application protocols. The default IPv4 address of the management agent is
169.254.1.1. There is no default IPv6 address. The PTP 650 does not require use of supplementary
serial interfaces.
MAC address
The management agent end-station MAC address is recorded on the enclosure and is displayed on
the Status web page. The MAC address is not configurable by the user.
VLAN membership
The management agent can be configured to transmit and receive either untagged, priority-
tagged, C-tagged (IEEE 802.1Q) or S-tagged (IEEE 802.1ad) frames. C-tagged and S-tagged frames
must be single tagged. The VLAN ID can be 0 (priority tagged) or in the range 1 to 4094.
Ethernet and DHCP priority
The management agent transmits IPv4 and IPv6 management packets with a configurable DHCP
value in the range 0 to 63. If the management agent is configured to operate in a management
VLAN, the Ethernet frames will be transmitted with a configurable Ethernet priority in the range 0
to 7. The same DHCP and Ethernet priorities are assigned to all management packets generated by
the agent. Management frames are multiplexed with customer data frames of the same priority for
transmission at the wireless port.
Access to the management agent
The management agent can be reached from any Ethernet port at the local ODU that is allocated to
either Data and In-Band Management or Out-of-Band Local Management.
If the wireless link is established, the management agent can also be reached from the remote
ODU via an Ethernet port that is allocated to Data and In-Band Management.
Management frames are processed by the management agent if (a) the destination MAC address
in the frame matches the ODU MAC address, and (b) the VLAN ID in the frame matches the VLAN
configuration of the management agent.
If Local Packet Filtering is enabled, unicast frames forwarded to the management agent as in-band
management are filtered, that is, not forwarded in the customer data network.
Page 1-18
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
The Port Allocation options described in Ethernet ports on page 1-15 allow for several
combinations of in-band and out-of-band local management as shown in Figure 3, Figure 4 and
Figure 5.
Figure 3 shows a single port allocated to Data and In-Band Management. The in-band
management might be connected to a network management center or to a management terminal
of an installer or technician.
Figure 3
In-band management
Figure 4 shows one port allocated to Data Only and one allocated to Out-of-Band Local
Management. The local management network (shown in red) is isolated from the customer data
network (shown in green). Management frames are not forwarded over the wireless link. The
connection to the management agent is solely through the management port of the local ODU.
Figure 4
Out-of-band local management
Page 1-19
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Figure 5 shows a combination of in-band and out-of-band local management. Here, the out-of-
band local port might be used to connect a management terminal of an installer or technician,
whilst the in-band management is connected to a network management center.
Figure 5
IB and OOB local management
MAC address and IP address of the management agent
The MAC address and IP address used by the management agent will be the same at each port
that is allocated to In-Band Management or Out-Of-Band Local Management. The management
agent does not provide the function of a dual-homed or multi-homed host. Network designers
should take care to ensure that the ODU will not be connected to more than one IP network.
Further examples of useful port allocation schemes are provided in Chapter 3: System planning.
Source address learning
If Local Packet Filtering is enabled, the PTP 650 learns the location of end stations from the source
addresses in received management frames. The agent filters transmitted management frames to
ensure that the frame is transmitted at the appropriate Ethernet port, or over the wireless link as
required to reach the reach the correct end station. If the end station address is unknown, then
management traffic is transmitted at each of Ethernet port enabled for management and over the
wireless link.
Page 1-20
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Ethernet loopback mode
PTP 650 provides a local Ethernet loopback function that can be used to loop traffic between the
Aux Port and one of the other Ethernet ports.
Loopback is intended to assist in the commissioning of a camera or other auxiliary device
collocated with the PTP 650 ODU. For example, when setting up a camera which will ultimately be
connected to the wireless bridge, it may be useful to loop the data back to a second local interface,
to assist in the positioning and alignment of the camera.
When ports are configured for Ethernet local loopback, they are temporarily disconnected from
their allocated function and connected together internally within the PTP 650 ODU. Out-of-band
local management is disconnected from the management agent, and the In-band management
path will also be un-available if one of the loopback ports has been allocated for Data and in-band
management. In this case, it will not be possible to manage the ODU from a local Ethernet port.
For this reason the Ethernet loopback is always disabled when the ODU is rebooted or power-
cycled, restoring the previous port configuration and any associated management paths.
During loopback operation, the same frame size restrictions that apply to management traffic are
present, jumbo frames are not supported and the maximum frame size is restricted to 1536 bytes.
Loopback is able to loop between Ethernet ports operating at different line rates if required, and it
is possible to configure a Loopback between ports operating at 1000BASE-T/LX/SX and
100BASE-TX if needed.
Protocol model
Ethernet bridging behavior at each end of the wireless link is equivalent to a two-port, managed,
transparent MAC bridge where the two ports are Ethernet Port and Wireless Port.
Frames are transmitted at the Wireless port over a proprietary point-to-point circuit-mode link
layer between ends of the PTP 650 link. Ethernet frames received at the Ethernet port, or generated
internally within the management agent, are encapsulated within a lightweight MAC layer for
transmission over the wireless link.
Protocol layers involved in bridging between Ethernet and wireless interfaces are shown in Figure
6. Protocol layers involved in bridging between external interfaces and the management agent are
shown in Figure 7. In these figures, the layers have the meanings defined in IEEE 802.1Q-2005.

Chapter 1: Product description System management
System management
This section introduces the PTP 650 management system, including the web interface, installation,
configuration, alerts and upgrades.
Management agent
PTP 650 equipment is managed through an embedded management agent. Management
workstations, network management systems or PCs can be connected to this agent using a choice
of in-band or out-of-band local modes. These modes are described in detail in Network
management on page 1-18.
The management agent includes a dual IPv4/IPv6 interface at the management agent. The IP
interface operates in the following modes:
• IPv4 only (default)
• IPv6 only
• Dual IPv4/IPv6
In the dual IPv4/IPv6 mode, the IP interface is configured with an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address
and can operate using both IP versions concurrently. This dual mode of operation is useful when a
network is evolving from IPv4 to IPv6.
The management agent supports the following application layer protocols (regardless of the
management agent IP mode):
• Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
• HTTP over transport layer security (HTTPS/TLS)
• RADIUS authentication
• TELNET
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP)
• Simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP)
• Simple network time protocol (SNTP)
• System logging (syslog)
Note
PTP 650 supports a single public key certificate for HTTPS. This certificate must be
based on an IPv4 or IPv6 address as the Common Name. The Dual IPv4/IPv6 interface
should not normally be used when HTTPS is required.
Page 1-23
Chapter 1: Product description System management
IPv6
The PTP 650 management agent supports the following IPv6 features:
Neighbor discovery
PTP 650 supports neighbor discovery for IPv6 as specified in RFC 4861 including:
• Neighbor un-reachability detection (NUD),
• Sending and receiving of neighbor solicitation (NS) and neighbor advertisement (NA)
messages,
• Processing of redirect functionality.
PTP 650 sends router solicitations, but does not process router advertisements.
Path MTU discovery and packet size
PTP 650 supports path MTU discovery as specified in RFC 1981, and packet fragmentation and
reassembly as specified in RFC 2460 and RFC 5722.
ICMP for IPv6
PTP 650 supports ICMPv6 as specified in RFC 4443. PTP 650 does not support RFC 4884 (multi-part
messages).
Addressing
The PTP 650 management agent is compatible with the IPv6 addressing architecture specified in
RFC 4291. PTP 650 allows static configuration of the following:
• Global unicast address
• IPv6 prefix length
• IPv6 default router.
PTP 650 additionally assigns an automatically configured Link Local address using stateless
address auto-configuration (SLAAC) as specified in RFC 4862. PTP 650 does not assign a global
unicast IP address using SLAAC.
PTP 650 responds on the standard management agent interfaces (HTTP, HTTPS, syslog, Telnet,
SNMP, SMTP, SNTP) using the global unicast address.
Privacy extensions
PTP 650 does not support the privacy extensions specified in RFC 4941.
Page 1-24
Chapter 1: Product description System management
DHCPv6
PTP 650 does not support address assignment using DHCPv6. The address of the management
agent must be configured statically.
Multicast listener discovery for IPv6
The PTP 650 management agent supports Multicast Listener Discovery version 1 (MLDv1) as
specified in RFC 2710.
PTP 650 does not support Multicast Listener Discovery version 2 (MLDv2).
Textual representation of IPv6 addresses
PTP 650 allows users to input text-based IP addresses in any valid format defined in RFC 5952. IPv6
addresses are automatically converted by PTP 650 to the preferred compressed form, apart from
those using the prefix length on the same line as the address, such as
2000::1/64
.
Security
PTP 650 does not support IP security (IPsec).
Web server
The PTP 650 management agent contains a web server. The web server supports the HTTP and
HTTPS/TLS interfaces.
Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the PTP 650 equipment from a locally
connected computer or from a network management workstation connected through a
management network, without requiring any special management software. The web-based
interfaces are the only interfaces supported for installation of PTP 650.
Web pages
The web-based management interfaces provide comprehensive web-based fault, configuration,
performance and security management functions organized into the following web-pages and
groups:
•
Home:
The Home web-page reports Wireless Link Status and basic information needed to
identify the link. The Home page additionally lists all active alarm conditions.
•
Status:
The Status web-page reports the detailed status of the PTP 650.
•
System:
These web-pages are used for configuration management, including IP and Ethernet,
AES encryption keys, quality of service and software upgrade. The System pages additionally
provide detailed counters and diagnostic measurements used for performance management.
Page 1-25
Chapter 1: Product description System management
•
Installation:
The Installation Wizard is used to install license keys, configure the PTP 650
wireless interface and to arm the unit ready for alignment.
•
Management:
These web-pages are used to configure the network management interfaces.
•
Security:
The Security Wizard is used to configure the HTTPS/TLS interface and other security
parameters such as the AES wireless link encryption key and the key of keys for encrypting
CSPs on the ODU. The Security Wizard is disabled until AES encryption is enabled by license
key.
•
Change Password
: The Change Password web page changes the web interface password of
the active user. The User Accounts page is also used to change passwords.
•
Logout:
Allows a user to log out from the web-based interface.
Transport layer security
The HTTPS/TLS interface provides the same set of web-pages as the HTTP interface, but allows
HTTP traffic to be encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS). PTP 650 uses AES encryption
for HTTPS/TLS. Operation of HTTPS/TLS is enabled by purchase of an optional AES upgrade.
HTTPS/TLS requires installation of a private key and a public key certificate where the common
name of the subject in the public key certificate is the IP address or host name of the PTP 650 unit.
PTP 650 supports certificates with 2048-bit key size.
HTTPS/TLS operation is configured through the web-based interfaces using the Security Wizard.
Details of the security material needed for HTTPS/TLS are provided in Security planning on page 3-
33.
Note
The PTP 650 has no default public key certificate, and Cambium Networks is not able
to generate private keys or public key certificates for specific network applications.
Note
PTP 650 supports a single public key certificate for HTTPS. This certificate must be
based on an IPv4 or IPv6 address as the Common Name. Any attempt to use HTTPS
without a certificate for the associated IP address will not be secure, and will trigger
browser security warnings. It follows from this that the Dual IPv4/IPv6 interface should
not normally be used when HTTPS is required.
User account management
PTP 650 allows a network operator to configure a policy for login attempts, the period of validity of
passwords and the action taken on expiry of passwords.
Page 1-26
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Identity-based user accounts
The PTP 650 web-based interface provides two methods of authenticating users:
• Role-based user authentication allows the user, on entry of a valid password, to access all
configuration capabilities and controls. This is the default method.
• Identity-based user authentication supports up to 10 users with individual usernames and
passwords.
When identity-based user accounts are enabled, a security officer can define from one to ten user
accounts, each of which may have one of the three possible roles:
• Security officer.
• System administrator.
• Read only.
Identity-based user accounts are enabled in the Local User Accounts page of the web-based
interface.
Password complexity
PTP 650 allows a network operator to enforce a configurable policy for password complexity.
Password complexity configuration additionally allows a pre-determined best practice
configuration to be set.
SNMP control of passwords
PTP 650 allows the role-based and identity-based passwords for the web-based interface to be
updated using the proprietary SNMP MIB. This capability is controlled by the SNMP Control of
Passwords, and is disabled by default.
SNMP Control of Passwords can be used together with SNMPv3 to provide a secure means to
update passwords from a central network manager. However, password complexity rules are not
applied.
RADIUS authentication
PTP 650 supports remote authentication for users of the web interface using the Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) with one of the following authentication methods:
• Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
• Microsoft CHAP Version 2 (MS-CHAPv2)
PTP 650 supports connections to primary and secondary RADIUS servers. The RADIUS interface is
configured through the RADIUS Authentication page of the web-based interfaces.
Page 1-27
Chapter 1: Product description System management
PTP 650 RADIUS supports the standard Service Type attribute to indicate authentication roles of
System Administrator and Read Only together with a vendor specific attribute to indicate
authentication roles of Security Officer, System Administrator, and Read Only.
Remote authentication can be used in addition to local authentication, or can be used as a
replacement for local authentication. If remote and local authentications are used together, PTP
650 checks log in attempts against locally stored user credentials before submitting a challenge
and response for remote authentication. Remote authentication is not attempted if the username
and password match locally stored credentials, or fails against the local database.
RADIUS is only available when PTP 650 is configured for Identity-based User Accounts. For more
information, refer to Planning for RADIUS operation on page 3-39.
SNMP
The management agent supports fault and performance management by means of an SNMP
interface. The management agent is compatible with SNMP v1, SNMP v2c, and SNMPv3 using the
following Management Information Bases (MIBs):
• RFC-1493. BRIDGE-MIB. dot1dBase group.
• RFC-2233. IF-MIB. Interfaces group, and ifXTable table.
• RFC-3411. SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB. snmpEngine group.
• RFC-3412. SNMP-MPD-MIB. snmpMPDStats group.
• RFC-3413. SNMP-TARGET-MIB. snmpTargetObjects group and SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB
snmpNotifyTable table.
• RFC-3414. SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB. usmStats group and usmUser group.
• RFC-3415. SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB vacmMIBObjects group.
• RFC-3418. SNMPv2-MIB. System group, SNMP group, and set group.
• RFC-3826. SNMP-USM-AES-MIB. usmAesCfb128Protocol OID.
• RFC-4293 IP-MIB, ipForwarding, ipAdEntAddr, ipAdEntIfIndex, ipAdEntNetMask
• PTP 650 Series proprietary MIB.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or
without a connection to a network time server (SNTP). It can be configured to display local time by
setting the time zone and daylight saving in the Time web page.
If an SNTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time
at regular intervals. For secure applications, the PTP 650 can be configured to authenticate
received NTP messages using an MD5 signature.
Page 1-28
Chapter 1: Product description System management
SNMPv3 security
SNMP Engine ID
PTP 650 supports four different formats for SNMP Engine ID:
• MAC address
• IPv4 address
• Configurable text string
• IPv6 address
SNMPv3 security configuration is re-initialized when the SNMP Engine ID is changed.
User-based security model
PTP 650 supports the SNMPv3 user-based security model (USM) for up to 10 users, with MD5,
SHA-1, DES and (subject to the license key) AES protocols in the following combinations:
• No authentication, no privacy,
• MD5, no privacy,
• SHA-1, no privacy,
• MD5, DES,
• SHA-1, DES,
• MD5, AES,
• SHA-1, AES.
Use of AES privacy requires the PTP 650 AES upgrade described in AES license on page 1-32.
View-based access control model
PTP 650 supports the SNMPv3 view-based access control model (VACM) with a single context. The
context name is the empty string. The context table is read-only, and cannot be modified by users.
Access to critical security parameters
The SNMPv3 management interface does not provide access to critical security parameters (CSPs)
of PTP 650. It is not possible to read or modify AES keys used to encrypt data transmitted at the
wireless interface. Neither is it possible to read or modify security parameters associated with TLS
protection of the web-based management interface. The recovery mode option to zeroize CSPs
does not affect SNMPv3 configuration.
Page 1-29
Chapter 1: Product description System management
MIB-based management of SNMPv3 security
PTP 650 supports a standards-based approach to configuring SNMPv3 users and views through
the SNMP MIB. This approach provides maximum flexibility in terms of defining views and
security levels appropriate for different types of user.
PTP 650 provides a default SNMPv3 configuration. This initial configuration is not secure, but it
provides the means by which a secure configuration can be created using SNMPv3.
The secure configuration should be configured in a controlled environment to prevent disclosure
of the initial security keys necessarily sent as plaintext, or sent as encrypted data using a
predictable key. The initial security information should not be configured over an insecure
network.
The default configuration is restored when any of the following occurs:
• All ODU configuration data is erased.
• All SNMP users are deleted using the SNMP management interface.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is Internet Address AND the Internet Address has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is Text String AND the text string has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is MAC Address AND configuration has been restored using a file
saved from a different unit.
• SNMPv3 Security Management is changed from web-based to MIB-based.
The default user configuration is specified in SNMPv3 default configuration (MIB-based) on page
3-37.
PTP 650 creates the initial user and template users with localized authentication and privacy
keys derived from the passphrase string 123456789. Authentication keys for the templates users
are fixed and cannot be changed. Any or all of the template users can be deleted.
The default user initial is created with a view of the entire MIB, requiring authentication for SET
operations. There is no access for template users.
Note
VACM grants access for requests sent with more than the configured security level.
The default user initial will have read/write access to the whole of the MIB. This is described in
further detail in View-based access control model on page 1-29. The template users have no access
to the MIB in the default configuration. User initial will normally be used to create one or more
additional users with secret authentication and privacy keys, and with appropriate access to the
whole of the MIB or to particular views of the MIB according to the operator’s security policy. New
users must be created by cloning template users. The user initial may then be deleted to prevent
access using the well-known user name and keys. Alternatively, the keys associated with initial
may be set to some new secret value.
Page 1-30
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security
PTP 650 supports an alternative, web-based approach for configuring SNMPv3 security. In this
case, the web-based interface allows users to specify SNMPv3 users, security levels, privacy and
authentication protocols, and passphrases. Web-based management will be effective for many
network applications, but the capabilities supported are somewhat less flexible than those
supported using the MIB-based security management.
Selection of web-based management for SNMPv3 security disables the MIB-based security
management.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security allows for two security roles:
• Read Only
• System Administrator
Read Only and System Administrator users are associated with fixed views allowing access to the
whole of the MIB, excluding the objects associated with SNMPv3 security. System Administrators
have read/write access as defined in the standard and proprietary MIBs.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security allows an operator to define the security levels and
protocols for each of the security roles; all users with the same role share a common selection of
security level and protocols.
Web-based security configuration is re-initialized when any of the following occurs:
• All ODU configuration data is erased.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is Internet Address and the Internet Address has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is Text String and the text string has been changed.
• The SNMP Engine ID Format is MAC Address and configuration has been restored using a file
saved from a different unit.
• SNMPv3 Security Management is changed from MIB-based to web-based.
Additionally, all SNMP user accounts are disabled when the authentication protocol, the privacy
protocol, or the security level is changed.
Downgrade of the license key
A possible lockout condition exists if a user downgrades the PTP 650 license key so as to disable
the AES capability when SNMPv3 users are configured with AES privacy and VACM is configured
to require privacy. In this case, recovery is by either (a) restoring the correct license key, or (b)
using recovery mode to erase all configuration and entering new configuration.
Option (b) will cause default users and access configuration to be re-created.
Page 1-31
Chapter 1: Product description System management
System logging (syslog)
PTP 650 supports the standard syslog protocol to log important configuration changes, status
changes and events. The protocol complies with RFC 3164.
PTP 650 creates syslog messages for configuration changes to any attribute that is accessible via
the web-based interface, or via the enterprise MIB at the SNMP interface.
PTP 650 additionally creates syslog messages for changes in any status variable displayed in the
web-based interface.
PTP 650 creates syslog messages on a number of events (for example successful and unsuccessful
attempts to log in to the web-based interface).
PTP 650 can be configured to send syslog messages to one or two standard syslog servers.
Additionally, PTP 650 logs event notification messages locally. Locally-stored event messages
survive reboot of the unit, and are overwritten only when the storage capacity is exhausted
(approximately 2000 messages). The locally stored events can be reviewed using the web-based
user interface.
Only users with Security Officer role are permitted to configure the syslog client. Users with
Security Officer, System Administrator or Read Only roles are permitted to review the locally
logged event messages.
AES license
PTP 650 provides optional encryption using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Encryption
is not available in the standard PTP 650 system.
AES upgrades are supplied as an access key purchased from your Cambium Point-to-Point
distributor or solutions provider. The access key authorizes AES operation for one ODU. Two
access keys are needed to operate AES on a link. The upgrade is applied by entering an access key
together with the MAC address of the target ODU into the PTP License Key Generator web page,
which may be accessed from the support website.
The License Key Generator creates a new license key that is delivered by email. The license key
must be installed on the ODU. When the license key is installed, the ODU must be rebooted before
AES can be enabled. Once applied, the AES upgrade is bound to a single ODU and is not
transferrable.
AES encryption may be used in the following ways:
• At the wireless port to encrypt data transmitted over the wireless link.
• At the SNMP management interface in the SNMPv3 mode.
• At the HTTPS/TLS management interface.
• At the RADIUS interface when PEAP (MS-CHAPv2) is used as the authentication method.
Page 1-32
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Two levels of encryption are available to purchase:
• 128-bit: This allows an operator to encrypt all traffic sent over the wireless link using 128-bit
encryption.
• 256-bit: This allows an operator to encrypt traffic using either 128-bit or 256-bit encryption.
Encryption must be configured with the same size key in each direction.
AES encryption at the PTP 650 wireless port is based on pre-shared keys. An identical key must be
entered at each end of the link.
AES encryption for SNMPv3 or TLS is always based on a 128-bit key, regardless of level enabled in
the PTP 650 license key.
Critical security parameters
Critical security parameters (CSPs) are as follows:
• Key of keys.
• AES encryption keys for the wireless interface.
• Private key for the HTTPS/TLS interface.
• Entropy value for the HTTPS/TLS interface.
• User account passwords for the web-based interface.
CSPs can be erased (zeroized) using the Zeroize CSPs page of the web-based interface or by
selecting the Zeroize CSPs option in Recovery mode.

PTP 650 optionally provides details of the most recent successful login, and the most recent
unsuccessful login attempt, for each user of the web-based interface.
Capability upgrades
ODUs are shipped with “Lite” data throughput capability, that is, up to 125 Mbps. Cambium
Networks supply capability upgrades to upgrade ODUs to “Mid” (up to 250 Mbps) or “Full” (up to
450 Mbps) capability. ODUs are shipped without AES encryption capability. Cambium Networks
supply capability upgrades to upgrade ODUs to128-bit or 256-bit AES Encryption.
Capability upgrades are purchased from Cambium and supplied as access keys. The user then
enters the access key into the PTP License Key Generator web page on the support website.
The License Key Generator creates a new license key and delivers it by email. The user then
installs the license key using the ODU web interface. License keys are bound to a single ODU and
are not transferrable.
Page 1-33
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Full capability trial period
A full capability trial period is available for units that are licensed for “Lite” (up to 125 Mbps) or
“Mid” (up to 250 Mbps) data throughput capability. This trial allows the ODU to operate with
“Full” capability (up to 450 Mbps) during a 60 day period, reverting to the Lite or Mid capability
afterwards. The trial period can be started, paused and resumed from the web interface.
Software upgrade
The management agent supports application software upgrade using either the web-based
interface or the SNMP interface.
PTP 650 software images are digitally signed, and the ODU will accept only images that contain a
valid Cambium Networks PTP digital signature. The ODU always requires a reboot to complete a
software upgrade.
Note
Obtain the application software and this user guide from the support website BEFORE
warranty expires.
Caution
ODU software version must be the same at both ends of the link. Limited operation
may sometimes be possible with dissimilar software versions, but such operation is
not supported by Cambium Networks.
Page 1-34
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Recovery mode
The PTP 650 recovery mode provides a means to recover from serious configuration errors
including lost or forgotten passwords and unknown IP addresses.
Recovery mode also allows new main application software to be loaded even when the integrity of
the existing main application software image has been compromised. The most likely cause of an
integrity problem with the installed main application software is where the power supply has been
interrupted during an earlier software upgrade.
The ODU operates in recovery mode in the following circumstances:
• When a checksum error occurs for the main application software image.
• When a power on, power off, power on cycle is applied to the ODU with the power off period
being around 5sec.
Recovery mode supports a single IPv4 interface, with IP address 169.254.1.1. Recovery mode does
not support IPv6.
Note
When Recovery has been entered through a power on/off/on cycle, the ODU will revert
to normal operation if no web access has been made to the unit within 30 seconds.
This prevents the unit remaining inadvertently in recovery following a power outage.
Recovery mode options
Options in recovery mode (IPv4 only) are as follows:
• Load new main application software.
• Reset all configuration data. This option resets IP and Ethernet configuration, and erases
(zeroizes) critical security parameters.
• Reset IP and Ethernet configuration.
• Erase (zeroize) critical security parameters.
• Reboot with existing software and configuration.
Note
If recovery mode has been entered because of a checksum error, after a 30 second
wait the ODU will attempt to reboot with existing software and configuration.
The recovery software image is installed during manufacture of the ODU and cannot be upgraded
by operators.

ODU description
The ODU is a self-contained transceiver unit that houses both radio and networking electronics.
The ODU is supplied in two configurations: integrated (attached to its own flat plate antenna) () or
connectorized (without an antenna) (Figure 8). The connectorized ODU is designed to work with
externally mounted antennas that have higher gains than the integrated antenna. Connectorized
units can cope with more difficult radio conditions.

Chapter 2: System hardware Antennas and antenna cabling
Antennas and antenna cabling
Antenna requirements
Each connectorized ODU requires one external antenna (normally dual-polar), or if spatial diversity
is required, each ODU requires two antennas. These antennas are not supplied by Cambium
Networks.
For connectorized units operating in the USA or Canada 5.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz bands, choose external
antennas from those listed in FCC and IC approved antennas on page 2-14. Do not install any other
antennas. For links in other countries, the listed antennas are advisory, not mandatory.
Note
To determine when to install connectorized units and to calculate their impact on link
performance and regulatory limits, see Planning for connectorized units on page 3-25.
RF cable and connectors
RF cable of type CNT-400 is required for connecting the ODU to the antenna. N type male
connectors are required for connecting the RF cables to the connectorized ODU. Two connectors
are required per ODU. Use weatherproof connectors, preferably ones that are supplied with
adhesive lined heat shrink sleeves that are fitted over the interface between the cable and
connector. Order RF cable and N type male connectors from Cambium Networks (Table 13).

Chapter 2: System hardware Antennas and antenna cabling
Antenna accessories
Connectorized ODUs require the following additional components:
• Cable grounding kits: Order one cable grounding kit for each grounding point on the antenna
cables. Refer to Cable grounding kit on page 2-22 for specifications and part numbers.
• Self-amalgamating and PVC tape: Order these items to weatherproof the RF connectors.
• Lightning arrestors: When the connectorized ODU is mounted indoors, lightning arrestors (not
PTP 650 LPUs) are required for protecting the antenna RF cables at building entry. One arrestor
is required per antenna cable. One example of a compatible lightning arrestor is the
Polyphaser LSXL-ME or LSXL (not supplied by Cambium Networks).
FCC and IC approved antennas
For connectorized units operating in the USA or Canada, choose external antennas from Table 14
(5.4 GHz) or Table 15 (5.8 GHz). These are approved by the FCC for use with the product and are
constrained by the following limits for single- or dual-polarization parabolic dish antennas:
• 5.4 GHz - 34.9 dBi per polarization or antenna.
• 5.8 GHz - up to 37.7 dBi per polarization or antenna.
Caution
Antennas not included in these tables are strictly prohibited for use with the PTP 650
in the specified bands.
Caution
This radio transmitter (IC certification number 109AO-50650) has been approved by
Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum

Ethernet cabling
Ethernet standards and cable lengths
All configurations require a copper Ethernet connection from the ODU (PSU port) to the PSU.
Advanced configurations may also require one or both of the following:
• A copper Ethernet connection from the ODU (Aux port) to an auxiliary device.
• An optical or copper Ethernet connection from the ODU (SFP port) to network terminating
equipment or a linked ODU.
Table 16 specifies, for each type of PSU and power supply, the maximum permitted PSU drop
cable length.
Table 17 specifies, for Aux and copper SFP interfaces, the Ethernet standards supported and the
maximum permitted drop cable lengths.
Note
For optical SFP interfaces, the Ethernet standards supported and maximum permitted
cable lengths are specified in SFP module kits on page 2-27.

Outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet cable
For copper Cat5e Ethernet connections from the ODU to the PSU, LPUs and other devices, use
Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel, for example Superior Essex
type BBDGe. This is known as “drop cable” (Figure 15).
Caution
Always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel.
Alternative types of drop cable are not supported by Cambium Networks.
Order Superior Essex type BBDGe cable from Cambium Networks (Table 18). Other lengths of this
cable are available from Superior Essex.

Cable grounding kit
Copper drop cable shields must be bonded to the grounding system in order to prevent lightning
creating a potential difference between the structure and cable, which could cause arcing, resulting
in fire risk and damage to equipment. Optical cables do not require grounding.
One grounding kit (Figure 16) is required for each grounding point on the PSU, Aux and copper
SFP drop cables. Order cable grounding kits from Cambium Networks (Table 19).
Caution
To provide adequate protection, all grounding cables must be a minimum size of 10
mm2 csa (8AWG), preferably 16 mm2 csa (6AWG), or 25 mm2 csa (4AWG).

Lightning protection unit (LPU) and grounding kit
PTP 650 LPUs provide transient voltage surge suppression for PTP 650 installations. Each PSU or
Aux drop cable requires two LPUs, one near the ODU and the other near the linked device, usually
at the building entry point (Table 20).

Note
PTP 650 LPUs are not suitable for installation on SFP copper Cat5e Ethernet interfaces.
For SFP drop cables, obtain suitable surge protectors from a specialist supplier.
SFP optical Ethernet interfaces do not require surge protectors.
RJ45 connectors and spare glands
RJ45 connectors are required for plugging Cat5e cables into ODUs, LPUs, PSUs and other devices.
Order RJ45 connectors and crimp tool from Cambium Networks (Table 22).
Note
The RJ45 connectors and crimp tool listed in Table 22 work with Superior Essex type
BBDGe cable (as supplied by Cambium Networks). They may not work with other
types of cable.
The ODU is supplied with one environmental sealing gland for the drop cable. However, this is not
suitable when surge protection is required: EMC glands must be used instead. EMC strain relief
cable glands (quantity 5) are included in the LPU and grounding kit (Figure 17). These are identified
with a black sealing nut. If extra glands are required, order them from Cambium Networks (in
packs of 10) (Table 22).
One long EMC strain relief gland (Figure 21) is included in each SFP module kit. This is longer than
the standard cable gland as it must house an SFP module plugged into the ODU.

Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Site planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning the proposed link end sites,
including grounding, lightning protection and equipment location.
Grounding and lightning protection
Warning
Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The
recommendations in this guide, when followed correctly, give the user the best
protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither
implied nor possible.
Structures, equipment and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by
lightning) by conducting the surge current to ground via a separate preferential solid path. The
actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations.
To adequately protect a PTP 650 installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge
suppression are required.
Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the international
standards IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 or
section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code.
Note
International and national standards take precedence over the requirements in this
guide.
Lightning protection zones
Use the rolling sphere method (Figure 29) to determine where it is safe to mount equipment. An
imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the sphere rests
against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), all the space
under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection (Zone B). Similarly, where the
sphere rests on two finials, the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of
protection.
Page 3-8
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Figure 29
Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones
Assess locations on masts, towers and buildings to determine if the location is in Zone A or Zone
B:
• 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.
Page 3-9
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Site grounding system
Confirm that the site has a correctly installed grounding system on a common ground ring with
access points for grounding PTP 650 equipment.
If the outdoor equipment is to be installed on the roof of a high building (Figure 25), 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 4-25.
• 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.
Page 3-10
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
ODU wind loading
Ensure that the ODU and the structure on which it is mounted are capable of withstanding the
prevalent wind speeds at a proposed PTP 650 site. Wind speed statistics should be available from
national meteorological offices.
The ODU and its mounting bracket are capable of withstanding wind speeds of up to 323 kph
(200 mph).
Wind blowing on the ODU will subject the mounting structure to significant lateral force. The
magnitude of the force depends on both wind strength and surface area of the ODU. Wind loading
is estimated using the following formulae:
Force (in kilogrammes) = 0.1045aV2
Where:
Is:
a surface area in square meters
V wind speed in meters per second
Force (in pounds) = 0.0042Av2
Where:
Is:
A surface area in square feet
v wind speed in miles per hour
Applying these formulae to the PTP 650 ODU at different wind speeds, the resulting wind loadings
are shown in Table 26 and Table 27.

Page 3-11
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Note
For a connectorized ODU, add the wind loading of the external antenna to that of the
ODU. The antenna manufacturer should be able to quote wind loading.
PSU DC power supply
If using the DC input on the AC+DC power injector, ensure that the DC power supply meets the
following requirements:
• The voltage and polarity must be correct and must be applied to the correct PSU terminals.
• The power source must be rated as Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV).
• The power source must be rated to supply at least 1.5A continuously.
• The power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined by
IEC/EN/UL60950-1, Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is 240VA).
PSU location
Find a location for the PSU (AC Power Injector or AC+DC Enhanced Power Injector) that meets the
following requirements:
• The AC+DC Enhanced Power Injector can be mounted on a wall or other flat surface. The AC
Power Injector can be mounted on a flat surface.
• The PSU is kept dry, with no possibility of condensation, flooding or rising damp.
• The PSU is located in an environment where it is not likely to exceed its operational
temperature rating, allowing for natural convection cooling.
• The PSU can be connected to the ODU drop cable and network terminating equipment.
Find a location for the AC+DC Enhanced power injector where it can be connected to a mains or
DC power supply. The use of DC supplies of less than 55V will reduce the usable distance between
the PSU and ODU.
Page 3-12
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Drop cable grounding points
To estimate how many grounding kits are required for each drop cable, refer to the site installation
diagrams (Figure 23 , Figure 24 and Figure 25) 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 23), 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.
• 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 25), use the following additional criteria:
• The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at its top entry point
(usually on the roof).
• The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at the entry point to
the equipment room.
LPU location
Find a location for the top LPU that meets the following requirements:
• There is room to mount the LPU, either on the ODU mounting bracket or on the mounting pole
below the ODU.
• The drop cable length between the ODU and top LPU must not exceed 600 mm.
• There is access to a metal grounding point to allow the ODU and top LPU to be bonded in the
following ways: top LPU to ODU; ODU to grounding system.
Find a location for the bottom LPU that meets the following requirements:
• The bottom LPU can be connected to the drop cable from the ODU.
• The bottom LPU is within 600 mm (24 in) of the point at which the drop cable enters the
building, enclosure or equipment room within a larger building.
• The bottom LPU can be bonded to the grounding system.
Page 3-13
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Multiple LPUs
If two or three drop cables are connected to the ODU, the PSU and Aux drop cables each require
their own top LPU, and the copper SFP drop cable requires a top surge protector, not a PTP 650
LPU (Figure 30). Optical cables do not require LPUs or ground cables (Figure 31).
The copper SFP drop cable requires a bottom surge protector, not a PTP 650 LPU (Figure 32).
The Aux drop cable may require an LPU near the auxiliary device.

Regulatory limits
Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the
PTP 650 Series. For example, in the 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands, these limits are calculated as
follows:
• In the 5.4 GHz band (5470 MHz to 5725 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 30 dBm or
(17 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm.
• In the 5.8 GHz band (5725 MHz to 5875 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 36 dBm or
(23 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm.
Some countries (for example the USA) impose conducted power limits on products operating in
the 5.8 GHz band.
Conforming to the limits
Ensure the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements by installing license keys
for the correct country. In the following situations, the license key does not prevent operation
outside the regulations:
• When using connectorized ODUs with external antennas, the regulations may require the
maximum transmit power to be reduced.
• When installing 5.4 GHz links in the USA, it may be necessary to avoid frequencies used by
Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems. For more information, refer to Avoidance of
weather radars (USA only) on page 3-20.
Page 3-17
Chapter 3: System planning Radio spectrum planning
Available spectrum
The available spectrum for operation depends on the regulatory band. When configured with the
appropriate license key, the unit will only allow operation on those channels which are permitted
by the regulations.
Note
In Italy, general authorization is required for any 5.4 GHz radio link that is used outside
the operator’s own premises. It is the responsibility of the installer or operator to have
the link authorized. Details may be found at:

Certain regulations have allocated certain channels as unavailable for use:
• ETSI has allocated part of the 5.4 GHz band to weather radar.
• UK and some other European countries have allocated part of the 5.8 GHz band to Road
Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) systems.
The number and identity of channels barred by the license key and regulatory band is dependent
on the channel bandwidth and channel raster selected.
Barred channels are indicated by a “No Entry” symbol displayed on the Spectrum Management
web page (Spectrum management in radar avoidance mode on page 7-27).
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.
Page 3-18
Chapter 3: System planning Radio spectrum planning
Frequency selection
Regions without mandatory radar detection
In regions that do not mandate DFS, choose
DSO
or
Fixed Frequency
:
•
Dynamic Spectrum Optimization (DSO)
: In this mode, the unit monitors the spectrum looking
for the channel with the lowest level of interference. Statistical techniques are used to select
the most appropriate transmit and receive channels. The unit can be configured such that it
operates in DSO mode, but does not operate on selected channels. This allows a frequency
plan to be implemented in cases where multiple links are installed in close proximity.
•
Fixed Frequency
: In this mode, the unit must be configured with a single fixed transmit
frequency and a single fixed receive frequency. These may set to the same value or to different
values. This mode should only be considered in exceptional circumstances, for example where
it is known that are no sources of interference on the selected channels.
Regions with mandatory radar detection
In regions that mandate DFS, the unit first ensures that there is no radar activity on a given
channel for a period of 60 seconds before radiating on that channel. Once a channel has been
selected for operation, the unit will continually monitor for radar activity on the operating channel.
If detected, it will immediately cease radiating and attempt to find a new channel.
In DFS regions, choose
DFS
or
DFS with DSO
:
•
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
: Once a channel is selected, the unit will only attempt to
find an alternative channel if radar activity has been detected on the operating channel.
•
DFS with DSO
: In addition to switching channels on detection of radar, the unit will also switch
to a channel which has a significantly lower level of interference than the current channel of
operation. Before radiating on the newly selected channel, the unit must again ensure that
there is no radar activity on the new channel for a period of 60 seconds. This mode therefore
provides the benefit of switching to a channel with lower interference but at the expense of an
outage of approximately 60 to 120 seconds. For this reason, the threshold for switching
channels is greater than when DSO is operating in a non-radar region.
Radar avoidance requirements in the 5.4 GHz band are defined as follows:
• For the EU: in specification EN 301-893 V1.6.1.
• For the US: in the specification FCC part 15.407 plus the later requirements covered in
Important Regulatory Information
in this User Guide.
• For Canada: in the specification RSS210 Annex 9 (Issue 8).
Radar avoidance at 5.8 GHz is applicable to EU operation (not FCC/IC) and the requirements are
defined in EN 302 502 V1.1.1.
Page 3-19
Chapter 3: System planning Radio spectrum planning
Avoidance of weather radars (USA only)
To comply with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the
5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), units which are installed within
35 km (22 miles) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system (or have a line of sight
propagation path to such a system) must be configured to avoid any frequency within +30 MHz or
–30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR device. This requirement applies even if the master is
outside the 35 km (22 miles) radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within
the 35 km (22 miles) radius of the TDWRs.
If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need
to be used. Devices with bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency
separation.
When planning a link in the USA, visit http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx, enter the
location of the planned link and search for TDWR radars. If a TDWR system is located within 35 km
(22 miles) or has line of sight propagation to the PTP device, perform the following tasks:
• Register the installation on http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx.
• Make a list of channel center frequencies that must be barred, that is, those falling within
+30 MHz or –30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR radars.
The affected channels must be barred as described in Barring channels on page 7-31.

Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Link planning
This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning links, such as range,
obstacles path loss and throughput. PTP LINKPlanner is recommended.
PTP LINKPlanner
The Cambium PTP LINKPlanner software and user guide may be downloaded from the support
website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1).
PTP LINKPlanner imports path profiles and predicts data rates and reliability over the path. It
allows the system designer to try different antenna heights and RF power settings. It outputs an
installation report that defines the parameters to be used for configuration, alignment and
operation. The installation report can be used to compare the predicted and actual performance of
the link.
Range and obstacles
Calculate the range of the link and identify any obstacles that may affect radio performance.
Perform a survey to identify all the obstructions (such as trees or buildings) in the path and to
assess the risk of interference. This information is necessary in order to achieve an accurate link
feasibility assessment.
The PTP 650 Series is designed to operate in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) and Line-of-Sight (LoS)
environments. An NLOS environment is one in which there is no optical line-of-sight, that is, there
are obstructions between the antennas.
The PTP 650 Series will operate at ranges from 100 m (330 ft) to 200 km (125 miles), within 3
modes: 0-40 km (0-25 miles), 0-100 km (0-62 miles) and 0-200 km (0-124 miles). Operation of the
system will depend on obstacles in the path between the units. Operation at 40 km (25 miles) or
above will require a near line-of-sight path. Operation at 100 m (330 ft) could be achieved with one
unit totally obscured from the other unit, but with the penalty of transmitting at higher power in a
non-optimal direction, thereby increasing interference in the band.
Page 3-21
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
LoS links in radar regions
When planning an LoS link to operate in a radar detection region, ensure that receiver signal level
is low enough to allow the PTP 650 to detect radar signals:
• With integrated antennas, the recommended minimum LoS operating range is 110 meters
(360 ft) for 5.4 GHz or 185 meters (610 ft) for 5.8 GHz. Shorter operating ranges will lead to
excessive receiver signal levels.
• With higher gain connectorized antennas, ensure the predicted receiver signal level (from
LINKPlanner) is below -53 dBm (for 5.4 GHz) or below -58 dBm (for 5.8 GHz).
Path loss
Path loss is the amount of attenuation the radio signal undergoes between the two ends of the
link. The path loss is the sum of the attenuation of the path if there were no obstacles in the way
(Free Space Path Loss), the attenuation caused by obstacles (Excess Path Loss) and a margin to
allow for possible fading of the radio signal (Fade Margin). The following calculation needs to be
performed to judge whether a particular link can be installed:

Adaptive modulation
Adaptive modulation ensures that the highest throughput that can be achieved instantaneously
will be obtained, taking account of propagation and interference. When the link has been installed,
web pages provide information about the link loss currently measured by the equipment, both
instantaneously and averaged. The averaged value will require maximum seasonal fading to be
added, and then the radio reliability of the link can be computed. For minimum error rates on TDM
links, the maximum modulation mode should be limited to 64QAM 0.75.
For details of the system threshold, output power and link loss for each frequency band in all
modulation modes for all available channel bandwidths, refer to System threshold, output power
and link loss on page 3-41.
Page 3-22
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Calculating data rate capacity
The data rate capacity of a PTP link is defined as the maximum end-to-end Ethernet throughput
(including Ethernet headers) that it can support. It is assumed that Ethernet frames are 1500 octet.
Data rate capacity is determined by the following factors:
• Licensed data throughput capability (ODU variant: Lite, Mid or Full)
• Link Symmetry
• Link Mode Optimization (IP or TDM)
• Modulation Mode
• Channel Bandwidth
• Link Range
Calculation procedure
To calculate the data rate capacity of a PTP 650 link, proceed as follows:
1
Use the tables in
Data throughput capacity tables on page 3-47
to look up the data throughput
capacity rates (Tx, Rx and Both) for the required combination of:
•
Link Symmetry
•
Link Mode Optimization
•
Modulation Mode
•
Channel Bandwidth
The tables contain data rates for
PTP 650 Full only.
2
The tables
contain data rates for links of zero range. Use the range adjustment graphs in Data
throughput capacity tables
on page 3-47 to look up the Throughput Factor that must be
applied to adjust the data rates for the actual range of the link.
3
Multiply the data rates by the Throughput Factor to give the throughput capacity of the link.
Note
The data rates for adaptive symmetry apply to the most asymmetric case where the
link has significant offered traffic in one direction only. The data rates for adaptive
symmetry with bidirectional offered traffic are the same as those for link symmetry 1:1
with link optimization IP.
Page 3-23
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Calculation example
Suppose that the link characteristics are:
• PTP 650 variant = Mid
• Link Symmetry = 1:1
• Link Mode Optimization = TDM
• Modulation Mode = 64QAM 0.92 Dual
• Channel Bandwidth = 10 MHz
• Link Range = 60 km
The calculation procedure for this example is as follows:
1
Use Table 51 to look up the data throughput capacity rates:
Tx = 23 Mbits/s
Rx = 23 Mbits/s
Aggregated = 46 Mbits/s
2
Use Figure 40 to look up the Throughput Factor for 1:1, TDM, 10 MHz, Mid and Link Range
60 km. The factor is 0.86.
3
Multiply the rates from Step 1 by the Throughput Factor from Step 2 to give the throughput
capacity of the link:
Tx = 19.8 Mbits/s
Rx = 19.8 Mbits/s
Aggregated = 39.6 Mbits/s
Page 3-24
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units
Planning for connectorized units
This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning to use connectorized ODUs
with external antennas in PTP 650 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 (>23 km or >14 miles) are required.
• Where there are known to be high levels of interference.
PTP LINKPlanner can be used to identify these areas of marginal performance.
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.
• Antenna polarization:
o For a simple installation process, select one dual-polarization antenna (as the integrated
antenna) at each end.
o To achieve spatial diversity, select two single-polarization antennas at each end. Spatial
diversity provides additional fade margin on very long LOS links where there is evidence of
correlation of the fading characteristics on Vertical and Horizontal polarizations.
Note
Enter the antenna gain and cable loss into the Installation Wizard, if the country
selected has an EIRP limit, the corresponding maximum transmit power will be
calculated automatically by the unit.
Page 3-25
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units
Note
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse
pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
Calculating RF cable length (5.8 GHz FCC only)
The 5.8 GHz band FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the
ODU and antenna of not less than 1.2 dB. If cable loss is below 1.2 dB with a 1.3 m (6 ft) diameter
external antenna, the connectorized PTP 650 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 30 (source: Times Microwave). This
data excludes connector losses.

Ethernet interfaces
The PTP 650 Ethernet ports conform to the specifications listed in Table 31.
Table 31
PTP 650 Ethernet bridging specifications

Specification
Protocol IEEE802.1; IEEE802.1p; IEEE802.3 compatible

Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
Ethernet port allocation
Decide how the three Ethernet ports will be allocated to the customer data network, in-band
management and out-of-band local management, based on the following rules:
• Ensure that one port is allocated to Data Only or Data and In-Band Management. This port
should be associated with the customer data network.
• Ensure that the remaining ports are set to Disabled or Out-of-Band Local Management.
• Ensure that at least one port is allocated for in-band or out-of-band network management. This
port should be associated with the management network.
Note
The Main PSU port is always used to supply power to the ODU, even when it is
Disabled for the purpose of Ethernet port allocation.
VLAN membership
Decide if the IP interface of the ODU management agent will be connected in a VLAN. If so, decide
if this is a standard (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN or provider bridged (IEEE 802.1ad) VLAN, and select the
VLAN ID for this VLAN.
Use of a separate management VLAN is strongly recommended. Use of the management VLAN
helps to ensure that the ODU management agent cannot be accessed by customers.
Priority for management traffic
Choose the Ethernet and IP (DSCP) priority for management traffic generated within the ODU
management agent. The priority should be selected so as to be consistent with existing policy on
priority of management traffic in the network. Use of a high priority is strongly recommended to
ensure that management traffic is not discarded if the link is overloaded.
Ensure that the priority assigned to management traffic is consistent with the quality of service
scheme configured for bridged Ethernet traffic. If QoS for bridged traffic is based on the IP/MPLS
scheme, set the DSCP management priority to map to a high priority queue. If QoS for bridged
traffic is based on the Ethernet scheme, set the VLAN management priority to map to a high
priority queue.
Page 3-28
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
IP interface
Select the IP version for the IP interface of the ODU management agent. PTP 650 can operate in
IPv4 mode, IPv6 mode, or in a dual IPv4/IPv6 mode. Choose one IPv4 address and/or one IPv6
address for the IP interface of the ODU management agent. The IP address or addresses must be
unique and valid for the connected network segment and VLAN.
Find out the correct subnet mask (IPv4) or prefix length (IPv6) and gateway IP address for this
network segment and VLAN.
Ensure that the design of the data network permits bidirectional routing of IP datagrams between
network management systems and the ODUs. For example, ensure that the gateway IP address
identifies a router or other gateway that provides access to the rest of the data network.
Quality of service for bridged Ethernet traffic
Decide how quality of service will be configured in PTP 650 to minimize frame loss and latency for
high priority traffic. Wireless links often have lower data capacity than wired links or network
equipment like switches and routers, and quality of service configuration is most critical at network
bottlenecks.
PTP 650 provides eight queues for traffic waiting for transmission over the wireless link. Q0 is the
lowest priority queue and Q7 is the highest priority queue. Traffic is scheduled using strict priority;
in other words, traffic in a given queue is transmitted when all higher-priority queues are empty.
Layer 2 control protocols
Select the transmission queue for each of the recognised layer 2 control protocols (L2CP). These
protocols are essential to correct operation of the Ethernet network, and are normally mapped to a
high priority queue. Ethernet frames that match one of the recognized L2CPs are not subject to the
Ethernet and IP/MPLS classification described below.
Priority schemes
Select the priority scheme based on Ethernet priority or IP/MPLS priority to match QoS policy in
the rest of the data network. Ethernet priority is also known as Layer 2 or link layer priority.
IP/MPLS priority is also known as Layer 3 or network layer priority.
Ethernet priority scheme
Ethernet priority is encoded in a VLAN tag. Use the Ethernet priority scheme if the network carries
traffic in customer or service provider VLANs, and the priority in the VLAN tag has been set to
indicate the priority of each type of traffic. Select a suitable mapping from the Ethernet priority to
the eight PTP 650 queues.
Page 3-29
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
An advantage of Ethernet priority is that any VLAN-tagged frame can be marked with a priority,
regardless of the higher-layer protocols contained within the frame. A disadvantage of Ethernet
priority is that the priority in the frame must be regenerated whenever traffic passes through a
router.
IP/MPLS priority scheme
IP priority is encoded in the DSCP value encoded in the ToS field in IPv4 and Traffic Class in IPv6.
The DSCP field provides 64 levels of priority. Determine the DSCP values used in the network and
select a suitable mapping from these DSCP values to the eight PTP 650 queues.
The advantages of IP priority are that priority in the IP header is normally propagated transparently
through a router, also the DSCP field supports a large number of distinct priority code points. A
disadvantage of DSCP is that frames receive a single default classification if they contain a network
layer protocol other than IPv4 or IPv6. This is controlled by the user setting the Unknown Network
Layer Protocol queue value in the same QoS Configuration page under IP/MPLS QoS.
MPLS priority is encoded in the traffic class (TC) field in the outermost MPLS label. Select a
suitable mapping from MPLS TC to the eight PTP 650 queues.
“Daisy-chaining” PTP 650 links
When connecting two or more PTP 650 links together in a network (daisy-chaining), do not install
direct copper Cat5e connections between the PSUs. Each PSU must be connected to the network
terminating equipment using the LAN port. To daisy-chain PTP 650 links, install each ODU-to-ODU
link using one of the following solutions:
• A copper Cat5e connection between the Aux ports of two ODUs. For details of the Ethernet
standards supported and maximum permitted cable lengths, see Ethernet standards and cable
lengths on page 2-20.
• A copper Cat5e connection between the Aux port of one ODU and the SFP port of the next
ODU (using a copper SFP module). For details of the Ethernet standards supported and
maximum permitted cable lengths, see Ethernet standards and cable lengths on page 2-20.
• Optical connections between the ODUs (SFP ports) using optical SFP modules at each ODU.
For details of the Ethernet standards supported and maximum permitted cable lengths, see
SFP module kits on page 2-27.
Green Ethernet switches
Do not connect PTP 650 units to Ethernet networking products that control the level of the
transmitted Ethernet signal based on the measured length of the Ethernet link, for example Green
Ethernet products manufactured by D-Link Corporation. The Ethernet interfaces in these
networking products do not work correctly when connected directly to the PTP 650 PSU.

Security planning
This section describes how to plan for PTP 650 links to operate in secure mode.
Planning for SNTP operation
Note
PTP 650 does not have a battery-powered clock, so the set time is lost each time the
ODU is powered down. To avoid the need to manually set the time after each reboot,
use SNTP server synchronization.
Before starting to configure Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP):
• Identify the time zone and daylight saving requirements that apply to the system.
• If SNTP server synchronization is required, identify the details of one or two SNTP servers: IP
address, port number and server key.
• Decide whether or not to authenticate received NTP messages using an MD5 signature.
Planning for HTTPS/TLS operation
Before starting to configure HTTPS/TLS operation, ensure that the cryptographic material listed in

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 PTP 650 web-based management
interface. The capabilities supported are somewhat less flexible than those supported using the
MIB-based security management, but will be sufficient in many applications. Selection of web-
based management for SNMPv3 security disables the MIB-based security management. PTP 650
does not support concurrent use of MIB-based and web-based management of SNMPv3 security.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security
Initial configuration of SNMPv3 security is available only to HTTP or HTTPS/TLS user accounts
with security role of Security Officer.
Identify the minimum security role of HTTP or HTTPS/TLS user accounts that will be permitted
access for web-based management of SNMPv3 security. The following roles are available:
• System Administrator
• Security Officer
Identify the format used for SNMP Engine ID. The following formats are available:
• MAC address (default)
• IPv4 address
• Text string
• IPv6 address
If SNMP Engine ID will be based on a text string, identify the text string required by the network
management system. This is often based on some identifier that survives replacement of the PTP
hardware.
Identify the user names and security roles of initial SNMPv3 users. Two security roles are
available:
• Read Only
• System Administrator
Page 3-35
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Identify the security level for each of the security roles. Three security levels are available: (a) No
authentication, no privacy; (b) Authentication, no privacy; (c) Authentication, privacy.
If authentication is required, identify the protocol. Two authentication protocols are available: MD5
or SHA.
If privacy will be used, identify the protocol. Two privacy protocols are available: DES or AES (an
AES 128-bit or 256-bit capability upgrade must be purchased).
If authentication or authentication and privacy protocols are required, identify passphrases for
each protocol for each SNMP user. It is considered good practice to use different passphrases for
authentication and privacy. Passphrases must have length between 8 and 32 characters, and may
contain any of the characters listed in Table 34.

Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
Planning for RADIUS operation
Configure RADIUS where remote authentication is required for users of the web-based interface.
Remote authentication has the following advantages:
• Control of passwords can be centralized.
• Management of user accounts can be more sophisticated. For example; users can be prompted
by a network manager to change passwords at regular intervals. As another example,
passwords can be checked for inclusion of dictionary words and phrases.
• Passwords can be updated without reconfiguring multiple network elements.
• User accounts can be disabled without reconfiguring multiple network elements.
Remote authentication has one significant disadvantage in a wireless link product such as PTP 650.
If the wireless link is down, a unit on the remote side of the broken link may be prevented from
contacting a RADIUS Server, with the result that users are unable to access the web-based
interface.
One useful strategy would be to combine RADIUS authentication for normal operation with a
single locally-authenticated user account for emergency use.
PTP 650 provides a choice of the following authentication methods:
• CHAP
• MS-CHAPv2
Ensure that the authentication method selected in PTP 650 is supported by the RADIUS server.
RADIUS attributes
If the standard RADIUS attribute session-timeout (Type 27) is present in a RADIUS response, PTP
650 sets a maximum session length for the authenticated user. If the attribute is absent, the
maximum session length is infinite.
If the standard RADIUS attribute idle-timeout (Type 28) is present in a RADIUS response, PTP 650
overrides the Auto Logout Timer with this value in the authenticated session.
If the vendor-specific RADIUS attribute auth-role is present in a RADIUS response, PTP 650 selects
the role for the authenticated user according to auth-role. The supported values of auth-role are as
follows:
• 0: Invalid role. The user is not admitted.
• 1: Read Only
• 2: System Administrator
• 3: Security Officer
Page 3-39
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning
If the vendor-specific auth-role attribute is absent, but the standard service-type (Type 6) attribute
is present, PTP 650 selects the role for the authenticated user according to service-type. The
supported values of service-type are as follows:
• Login(1): Read Only
• Administrative(6): System Administrator
• NAS Prompt(7): Read Only
If the auth-role and service-type attributes are absent, PTP 650 selects the Read Only role.
The auth-role vendor-specific attribute is defined in Table 38.

Cambium Networks end user license agreement
Acceptance of this agreement
In connection with Cambium Networks’ delivery of certain proprietary software or products
containing embedded or pre-loaded proprietary software, or both, Cambium Networks is willing to
license this certain proprietary software and the accompanying documentation to you only on the
condition that you accept all the terms in this End User License Agreement (“Agreement”).
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT USE THE PRODUCT OR
INSTALL THE SOFTWARE. INSTEAD, YOU MAY, FOR A FULL REFUND, RETURN THIS PRODUCT
TO THE LOCATION WHERE YOU ACQUIRED IT OR PROVIDE WRITTEN VERIFICATION OF
DELETION OF ALL COPIES OF THE SOFTWARE. ANY USE OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO USE ON THE PRODUCT, WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE TO THE
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Definitions
In this Agreement, the word “Software” refers to the set of instructions for computers, in
executable form and in any media, (which may include diskette, CD-ROM, downloadable internet,
hardware, or firmware) licensed to you. The word “Documentation” refers to electronic or printed
manuals and accompanying instructional aids licensed to you. The word “Product” refers to
Cambium Networks’ fixed wireless broadband devices for which the Software and Documentation
is licensed for use.
Grant of license
Cambium Networks Limited (“Cambium”) grants you (“Licensee” or “you”) a personal,
nonexclusive, non-transferable license to use the Software and Documentation subject to the
Conditions of Use set forth in “
Conditions of use
” and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Any terms or conditions relating to the Software and Documentation appearing on the face or
reverse side of any purchase order, purchase order acknowledgment or other order document that
are different from, or in addition to, the terms of this Agreement will not be binding on the parties,
even if payment is accepted.
Page 4-2
Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Cambium Networks end user license agreement
Conditions of use
Any use of the Software and Documentation outside of the conditions set forth in this Agreement
is strictly prohibited and will be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
1. Only you, your employees or agents may use the Software and Documentation. You will take all
necessary steps to insure that your employees and agents abide by the terms of this Agreement.
2. You will use the Software and Documentation (i) only for your internal business purposes; (ii)
only as described in the Software and Documentation; and (iii) in strict accordance with this
Agreement.
3. You may use the Software and Documentation, provided that the use is in conformance with the
terms set forth in this Agreement.
4. Portions of the Software and Documentation are protected by United States copyright laws,
international treaty provisions, and other applicable laws. Therefore, you must treat the Software
like any other copyrighted material (for example, a book or musical recording) except that you may
either: (i) make 1 copy of the transportable part of the Software (which typically is supplied on
diskette, CD-ROM, or downloadable internet), solely for back-up purposes; or (ii) copy the
transportable part of the Software to a PC hard disk, provided you keep the original solely for back-
up purposes. If the Documentation is in printed form, it may not be copied. If the Documentation
is in electronic form, you may print out 1 copy, which then may not be copied. With regard to the
copy made for backup or archival purposes, you agree to reproduce any Cambium Networks
copyright notice, and other proprietary legends appearing thereon. Such copyright notice(s) may
appear in any of several forms, including machine-readable form, and you agree to reproduce
such notice in each form in which it appears, to the extent it is physically possible to do so.
Unauthorized duplication of the Software or Documentation constitutes copyright infringement,
and in the United States is punishable in federal court by fine and imprisonment.
5. You will not transfer, directly or indirectly, any product, technical data or software to any
country for which the United States Government requires an export license or other governmental
approval without first obtaining such license or approval.

Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Cambium Networks end user license agreement
Title and restrictions
If you transfer possession of any copy of the Software and Documentation to another party outside
of the terms of this agreement, your license is automatically terminated. Title and copyrights to
the Software and Documentation and any copies made by you remain with Cambium Networks
and its licensors. You will not, and will not permit others to: (i) modify, translate, decompile,
bootleg, reverse engineer, disassemble, or extract the inner workings of the Software or
Documentation, (ii) copy the look-and-feel or functionality of the Software or Documentation;
(iii) remove any proprietary notices, marks, labels, or logos from the Software or Documentation;
(iv) rent or transfer all or some of the Software or Documentation to any other party without
Cambium’s prior written consent; or (v) utilize any computer software or hardware which is
designed to defeat any copy protection device, should the Software and Documentation be
equipped with such a protection device. If the Software and Documentation is provided on
multiple types of media (such as diskette, CD-ROM, downloadable internet), then you will only use
the medium which best meets your specific needs, and will not loan, rent, lease, or transfer the
other media contained in the package without Cambium’s written consent. Unauthorized copying
of the Software or Documentation, or failure to comply with any of the provisions of this
Agreement, will result in automatic termination of this license.
Confidentiality
You acknowledge that all Software and Documentation contain valuable proprietary information
and trade secrets and that unauthorized or improper use of the Software and Documentation will
result in irreparable harm to Cambium Networks for which monetary damages would be
inadequate and for which Cambium Networks will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief. If
applicable, you will limit access to the Software and Documentation to those of your employees
and agents who need to use the Software and Documentation for your internal business purposes,
and you will take appropriate action with those employees and agents to preserve the
confidentiality of the Software and Documentation, using the same degree of care to avoid
unauthorized or improper disclosure as you use for the protection of your own proprietary
software, but in no event less than reasonable care.
You have no obligation to preserve the confidentiality of any proprietary information that: (i) was
in the public domain at the time of disclosure; (ii) entered the public domain through no fault of
yours; (iii) was given to you free of any obligation to keep it confidential; (iv) is independently
developed by you; or (v) is disclosed as required by law provided that you notify Cambium
Networks prior to such disclosure and provide Cambium Networks with a reasonable opportunity
to respond.

Transfer
The Software and Documentation may not be transferred to another party without the express
written consent of Cambium Networks, regardless of whether or not such transfer is accomplished

Human exposure to radio frequency energy
Relevant standards (USA and EC) applicable when working with RF equipment are:
• ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to
Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• Council recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to
electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz) (1999/519/EC) and respective national regulations.
• Directive 2004/40/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the
minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks
arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) (18th individual Directive within the
meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC).
• US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at http://www.fcc.gov, and the
policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
as well as the guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance in FCC OET Bulletin 65.
• Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/99ehd-dhm237/limits-limites_e.html and
Safety Code 6.
• EN 50383:2002 to 2010 Basic standard for the calculation and measurement of electromagnetic
field strength and SAR related to human exposure from radio base stations and fixed terminal
stations for wireless telecommunication systems (110 MHz - 40 GHz).
• BS EN 50385:2002 Product standard to demonstrate the compliances of radio base stations and
fixed terminal stations for wireless telecommunication systems with the basic restrictions or
the reference levels related to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (110
MHz – 40 GHz) – general public.
• ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines for the
general public. See the ICNIRP web site at http://www.icnirp.de/ and Guidelines for Limiting
Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.
Power density exposure limit
Install the radios for the PTP 650 family of PTP wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the
minimum separation distances from all persons.
The applicable power density exposure limit for RF energy in the 4.9, 5.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency
bands is
10 W/m2
. For more information, see Human exposure to radio frequency energy on page
4-24.
Page 4-24
Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Compliance with safety standards
Calculation of power density
The following calculation is based on the ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991 method, as that provides a worst
case analysis. Details of the assessment to EN50383:2002 can be provided, if required.
Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
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

Calculated distances and power compliance margins
Table 62 shows calculated minimum separation distances, recommended distances and resulting
margins for each frequency band and antenna combination. 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.
Explanation of terms used in Table 62:
Tx burst – maximum average transmit power in burst (Watt)
P – maximum average transmit power capability of the radio including cable loss (Watt)
G – total transmit gain as a factor, converted from dB
S – power density (W/m2)
d – minimum distance from point source (meters)
R – recommended distances (meters)
C – compliance factor

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.
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.

5.4 GHz band edge channel power reduction
Equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is restricted in edge channels when the PTP 650 is
operated the 5.4 GHz band with the USA or Canada country license. The amount of EIRP reduction
has been determined during regulatory testing and cannot be changed by professional installers or
end users. Units intended for the USA and Canada market are locked for use in the USA or Canada
and cannot be operated under the regulations for other regulatory domains.
The PTP 650 takes into account the antenna gain and cable loss configured by the professional
installer in the web-based interface to limit the EIRP to ensure regulatory compliance. No
additional action is required by the installer to reduce transmitter power in band edge channels.
The maximum EIRP in band edge channels for the USA and Canada 5.4 GHz band is listed in Table
