NOTE: A raster limits the selection of the Rx frequency based upon the setting of the Tx
frequency.
Tx Color Code, Rx Color Code: When co-channel interference is from another PTP 600, co-
channel performance is improved by selecting different values for a new colour code attribute
at the victim and interfering links. Improvement may be up to 7dB. It will also allow the units to
operate at levels of C to I below 14dB, which is currently not possible.

Once Section 8.3.4.4 “Wireless Configuration” is complete pressing the “Disarm Installation
Agent” button completes the installation process19 and the audible installation tone will be
switched off. If the installer wishes to modify the installation configuration then the ‘Back’ link
can be used to access the installation wizard steps described above.
After disarming the wireless link the user is presented with one of two possible configuration
pages, see Figure 75 and
Figure 76. The screen presents hyperlinks to the main configuration and spectrum
management pages.

After installation the system administrator may wish to modify the wireless units descriptive
configuration (link name and link location). In addition the system administrator may wish to
change the spectrum management configuration of the wireless unit, or look at the analysis of
the 5.8 GHz spectrum to see if the automatic channel selection is appropriate for the system
administrator’s network. It is also recommended that a backup copy of the wireless units
configuration is taken. Hyperlinks are provided on the post disarm page for ease of use.
8.3.5 Graphical Install
To aid the installation of wireless links two graphical installation aids have been introduced in
this 600 Series system version.
A PDA installation screen
A larger installation screen available from the main HTTP management interface.
The design of the installation screen has been deliberately kept simple and uncluttered. An
example of the installation screen is shown in Figure 77. Both the PDA and the large format
installation screen have the same content and only differ in size. The PDA installation screen
is 232 by 220 pixels to be compatible with the typical size of a PDA screen.
Figure 77 – Graphical Installation Screen
8 Web Page Reference
157
The screen displays the receive power over the last three minutes. This will allow the installer
to slowly sweep the antenna during installation and monitor the variation in signal strength
with angular position. The screen automatically refreshes every three seconds.
The screen also displays the current state of the wireless link in two ways. First, the actual
state of the wireless link is written in the top left corner of the screen. The instantaneous
receive power bar also encodes the state of the wireless link using green to signify that the
wireless link is up and red for all other states.
For the more technically, aware the installation metric is simply the instantaneous receive
power in dBm + 100.
The PDA installation tool is accessed via a hidden URL http://<ip-address>/pda.cgi. It should
be noted that this link is only available after the user has logged in as system administrator.
The large screen version of the graphical user interface is available as a submenu option of
the installation wizard.

8.3.6 Software Upgrade
The 600 Series system has two software image banks; one is a fixed image which is stored in
protected non-volatile memory and cannot be modified by the user. The second bank is used
by the system administrator to upgrade the firmware when necessary. Figure 78 shows the
main software upgrade web page.
Figure 78 - Software Upgrade
The ‘Fixed’ or ‘Recovery’ image is used by the System Administrator to:
Reset Ethernet configuration to default settings
Erase Configuration
Upgrade software
For a full description of the Recovery image see Section 9 “Recovery Mode”.
The software upgrade pages are used to update a unit’s operational software. The software
image to be uploaded should be downloaded to local storage from the Motorola web site. The
software image is delivered by Motorola as a compressed zip file. Once the zip file has been
downloaded, the user should extract the PTP 600 Series Software image, identifiable by its
‘.dld’ file extension.
8 Web Page Reference
159
The first step (Figure 78) is to use the “Browse” button to locate the software image
previously downloaded to local storage from the Motorola web site. Once the image is
located, the user should press the “Upload image to wireless unit” button to start the software
upgrade process20.
The software image will now be uploaded to the unit. This upload should only take a few
seconds. Once complete the image is verified and validated to ensure that no errors occurred
during transfer and that the image is valid to run on the current platform. If there are any
problems a warning screen will appear.
The unit being upgraded will now display information about the build it currently has stored in
the image bank and the one that’s just been uploaded. If the image is not the right one, the
user has the option to go back and reload a new image. (See Figure 79)
Figure 79 - Software Upgrade Image Check
The user should ensure that the correct image is shown before pressing the “Program
Software Image into Non-Volatile Memory” button. Once this button has been pressed the
image is stored into non-volatile memory, this process can take up to 60 seconds and must
not be interrupted.
20 During the software upgrade process, ensure that the remote end is upgraded first using the wireless
connection and then the local end can be upgraded.
8 Web Page Reference
160
CAUTION: If the upgrade process is interrupted during the erasure of the image bank, or
during the reprogramming of the image bank, the image bank will be left in a corrupt state. If
this occurs the software must be reloaded. All software images that are stored in non-volatile
memory are protected via the use of CRCs. If the software detects an invalid CRC the image
bank is marked as ‘corrupt’ and the 600 Series bridge boot code will boot the fixed software
image. If this occurs the user must attempt to reload the correct version of software.
During the write process the progress of the upgrade is displayed on the progress tracking
page (Figure 80). The upgrade process should not be interrupted. Interruption of this process
can result in a corrupt main software image, which will result in the recovery image been
booted at the next reset cycle.
Figure 80 - Software Download Progress Indicator
Figure 81 - Software Upgrade Complete
When the software image has been written to non-volatile memory Figure 81 will be displayed
showing the status of the software upload.
8 Web Page Reference
161
Reboot the unit by clicking the “Reboot Wireless Unit” button. You will be asked to confirm
this action as shown in Figure 82.
Figure 82 - Reboot Confirmation Pop Up
This will reboot the unit, taking up to 120 seconds. During this time you will not be able to
communicate with the unit.
If you cannot communicate with the unit after 120 seconds, this could indicate a problem with
the memory update process. Under these circumstances the user should enter “Recovery
Mode”, see Section 9 “Recovery Mode”.
After the reboot the user should check that the required software image is loaded and
running.
NOTE: Please ensure that you are upgrading the correct units. Units cannot be downgraded.

8.3.7 Spectrum Management
Spectrum Management Selection is the PTP 600 Series Bridge feature that monitors the
available wireless spectrum and directs both ends of the wireless link to operate on a channel
with a minimum level of co-channel and adjacent channel interference.
8.3.7.1 Wireless Channels
The PTP 600 Series Bridge operates using a set of predefined overlapping channels. There
are a different number of channels, depending on the raster mode selected. Each channel
occupies 30 MHz, 15 MHz, 10 MHz or 5 MHz of wireless spectrum and is offset in center
frequency from its neighboring channel by 10 MHz or 6 MHz. It is important to note that
adjacent channels on the Spectrum management display have a 10 MHz or 6 MHz overlap to
the adjacent channel.
The default channelization can be modified by varying the lower center frequency attribute in
the installation wizard - see Section 8.3.4.4 “Wireless Configuration”. See Section 5.4
Variable Channel Bandwidth Operation” and 5.9 “PTP 58600 Specific Frequency Planning
Considerations” for more detail.
8.3.7.2 Spectrum Management Measurements
The 600 Series Bridge performs two mean signal measurements per TDD cycle, per channel.
This mean measurement represents the mean received signal power for the 40 microseconds
measurement period.
The Spectrum Management algorithm collects measurements equally from all channels. This
process is called the Channel Availability Check (hereafter referred to by the acronym CAC).
The CAC uses a round-robin channel selection process to collect an equal amount of
measurements from each channel. It is important to note that the CAC measurement process
is not altered by the channel barring process. Measurements are still collected for all
channels irrespective of the number of barred channels.
8.3.7.3 Measurement Analysis
Spectrum Management uses statistical analysis to process the received peak and mean
measurement. The statistical analysis is based on a fixed, one minute, measurement
quantization period. Spectrum Management collects data for the specified quantization period
and only at the end of the period is the statistical analysis performed.
8 Web Page Reference
163
The analysis produces three key metrics for each channel:
Peak of Means
99.9% Percentile of the Means
Mean of Means
Peak of Means is the largest mean interference measurement encountered during the
quantization period. The peak of means is similar to the peak of peaks and is useful for
detecting slightly longer duration spikes in the interference environment.
99.9% Percentile of the Means is the value of mean interference measurement which 99.9%
of all mean measurements fall below, during the quantization period. The 99.9% percentile
metric is useful for detecting short duration repetitive interference that by its very nature has a
minimal effect of the mean of means.
Mean of Means is the arithmetic mean21 of the measured means during a quantization
period. The mean of means is a coarse measure of signal interference and gives an
indication of the average interference level measured during the quantization period. The
metric is not very good at predicting intermittent interference and is included to show the
spread between the mean of means, the 99.9% percentile and the peak of means.
NOTE: Spectrum Management uses the 99.9% percentile as the prime interference
measurement. All subsequent references to interference level refer to this percentile
measurement.
The display of statistical measurement on the spectrum management page always shows a
statistical summary of all channel measurement. The statistical summary is controlled by the
Statistics Window attribute. This attribute defaults to a value of twenty minutes, which means
that the mean and percentile values displayed for each channel are calculated over the 20
minute period. All channel decisions are made using the values computed over the statistics
window period.
21 The arithmetic mean is the true power mean and not the mean of the values expressed in dBm.

8.3.7.4 The Spectrum Management Master / Slave Relationship
The Spectrum Management operates in a master / slave relationship. The master is assumed
to be the link master configured during installation. All Spectrum Management configuration
changes MUST be performed from the master. To enforce this, the Spectrum Management
web page has a different appearance depending if you are viewing the data from the master
or slave.
All configuration changes are applied at the master only. These changes are then messaged
from the master to the slave. Any Spectrum Management configuration messages received at
the slave are stored in non-volatile memory. This enables both master and slave to keep
identical copies of Spectrum Management configuration data in their non-volatile memories. It
is therefore possible to swap master and slave roles on an active Point-to-Point link without
modifying Spectrum Management configuration.

Figure 83 shows an example Spectrum Management webpage as seen from the master.
Figure 84 shows an example Spectrum Management webpage as seen from the slave. It
should be noted that the key configuration attributes are not available on the slave web page.
8 Web Page Reference
166
8.3.7.5 Spectrum Management Configuration
The following section describes the user modifiable configuration accessible from the
Spectrum Management webpage. It is recommended that the default values are maintained.
If the user believes that the performance of the Spectrum Management algorithm requires
some modifications this should only be done after consulting your Motorola Point-to-Point
distributor or one of the system field support engineers.
Page Refresh Period: The page refreshes automatically according to the setting entered
here (in seconds).
Hopping Margin: Spectrum Management uses this margin when making a channel hop
decision. The target channel has to have an interference level 3 dB (default) better than the
current active channel.
Hopping Period (not configurable): The Spectrum Management algorithm evaluates the
metrics every ‘Hopping Period’ seconds (180 seconds by default) looking for a channel with
lower levels of interference. If a better channel is located, Spectrum Management performs
an automated channel hop. If SNMP or SMTP alerts are enabled an SNMP TRAP or an email
alert is sent warning the system administrator of the channel change.
Hopping Counter: is used to record the number of channel hops. The number in the “(+)”
brackets indicates the number of channel changes since the last screen refresh.
Interference Threshold: Spectrum Management uses the interference threshold to perform
instantaneous channel hops. If the measured interference on a channel exceeds the specified
threshold, then iDFS will instruct the wireless to immediately move to a better channel. If a
better channel cannot be found the 600 Series Bridge will continue to use the current active
channel. (Default –85 dBm)
Asymmetric DFS: The default configuration of symmetric operation constrains the link to
operate symmetrically, using the same transmit and receive channels. When in symmetric
mode the slave unit will always follow the master. If the master moves to a new channel the
slave will hop to the same channel. When the Point-to-Point link is configured as an
asymmetric link both the master and slave are free to select the best channel from their own
set of local interference metrics.
Channel Bandwidth (not configurable): shows the value of the variable channel bandwidth
selected.
8 Web Page Reference
167
8.3.7.6 Barring Channels
Channels can only be barred / unbarred by the system administrator from the master
Spectrum Management web page. The barring / unbarring operations are disabled on the
slave web page. If an attempt to bar / unbar a channel is made at the slave, a warning dialog
is generated.
Barring/Unbarring of channels is performed by clicking the appropriate channel on the local or
peer channel spectrum plots on the master web page. Each bar / unbar attempt will be
proceeded by a confirmation dialog. It should be noted that the channel bar will take effect
immediately and is not related to the measurement quantization period.
8.3.7.7 Master and Slave Channel Spectrum Graphics
Spectrum Management presents its computed statistical measurements in a graphical display
on both the master and slave Spectrum Management web page.
Figure 85 - Example Spectrum Management Graphic
The X-axis shows a stylized view of the 9 or 10 selectable wireless channels. It is important
to note that adjacent channels on the display have a 10 MHz overlap. The display separates
the display of channels to help the clarity of the resultant display. The axis is labeled using the
channel center frequencies in MHz.
The Y-axis shows the interference power levels from –100 to –40 dBm.
The active channel (channel 5 in Figure 85) is always marked using hatched green and white
lines. The width of the hatching is directly proportional the channel bandwidth spectral
occupancy of the channel.
The individual channel metrics are displayed using a colored bar and an ‘I’ bar.
8 Web Page Reference
168
The colored bar represents the following channel state:
Table 28 - Spectrum Management change state key
Green Active The channel is currently in use, hosting the
Point-to-Point wireless link
Orange Interference The channel has interference above the
interference threshold
Blue Available
The channel has an interference level below the
interference threshold and is considered by the
Spectrum Management algorithm suitable for
hosting the Point-to-Point link
Grey Barred
The system administrator has barred this channel
from use. For improved visibility, an additional red
‘lock’ symbol is used to indicate that a channel is
barred.
The top of the colored bar represents the 99.9% percentile metric for specific channel.
The ‘I’ Bar is used to display the mean of means and peak of means metrics. The lower
horizontal bar represents the mean of means and the upper horizontal bar represents the
peak of means. The vertical bar is used as a visual cue to highlight the statistical spread
between the peak and the mean of the statistical distribution.

8.3.7.8 Active Channel History
The active channel history is a time series display of the channels used by the PTP 600
Series Bridge over the last 25 hours. The active channel history is activated from the main
Spectrum Management page using the ‘Active Channel History’ hyperlink. An example of the
active channel history display is shown in Figure 86. Where there are parallel entries on the
display this signifies that the wireless link occupied this channel during the measurement
period. The measurement periods are one minute (from zero to sixty minutes) and twenty
minutes from (60 minutes to twenty five hours).
Figure 86 - Active Channel History Screen

8.3.7.9 Viewing Historic Spectrum Management Metrics
Spectrum Management allows the system administrator to view the results of previous
measurement quantization periods. Holding down the shift key and clicking the appropriate
channel on the local channel spectrum plots activates this feature. This feature is available on
both the master and slave web page.
Figure 87 - Spectrum Management Time Series Plot
Figure 87 shows an example time series plot. A time series plot displays the previous 132
measurement quantization periods. If the PTP 600 Series Bridge has not been running for
132 quantization periods then only the number of measurement quantization periods that are
available are displayed.

8.3.8 Spectrum Management (Fixed Frequency)
The PTP 600 Series Bridge software allows a user to optionally fix transmit and receive
frequencies for a wireless link. Once configured, the spectrum management software will not
attempt to move the wireless link to a channel with lower co and adjacent channel
interference. Therefore this mode of operation is only recommended for deployments where
the installer has a good understanding the prevailing interference environment. (See Section
8.3.4.4 “Wireless Configuration”). Care must also be taken to ensure that the frequency
allocations at each end of the link are compatible. To help the user when identifying the mode
of operation Spectrum Management uses two visual cues. See Figure 88. The main page title
identifies the mode of operation using the “Fixed Frequency Mode” postfix and the selected
channels are identified by a red capital ‘F’.
Figure 88 - Spectrum Management Fixed Frequency Screen
Channel barring is disabled in fixed frequency mode; it is not required as dynamic channel
hopping is prohibited in this mode.
8 Web Page Reference
172
The only controls available to the master are the Statistics Window and Interference
Threshold attributes. They will have no effect on the operation of the wireless link and will
only effect the generation of the channel spectrum graphics.
The active channel history menu is removed in this mode of operation as channel hopping is
prohibited.
Figure 89 - Spectrum Management Help Page (Fixed Frequency)
8.3.9 Spectrum Management Control - With Operational Restrictions
When operating with Radar Avoidance enabled the following variances in operation apply:
The words “Radar Avoidance” are appended to the “Spectrum Management” title at the
top of the screen. See Figure 90 and Figure 91.
The only controls available to the master are the Interference Threshold attribute. This
has no effect on the operation of the wireless link and will only affect the generation of the
channel spectrum graphics. See Figure 90.
8 Web Page Reference
173
Extra color coding of the interference histogram is provided. See Table 30.
When operating with RTTT (Road transport and Traffic Telematics) Avoidance enabled or
other regulatory restrictions on channel usage the following variances apply:
All channels marked with a ‘no entry’ symbol with their associated statistics colored black
are the prohibited channels. See Figure 90 and Figure 91. These channels are never
used to host the wireless link, but CAC measurements are still taken so that adjacent
channel biases can be calculated correctly and so the user can see if other equipment is
in use.

8.3.11.6 SNMP Configuration
SNMP State: The SNMP state attribute controls the creation of the SNMP features. Changing
the SNMP state attribute requires a mandatory reboot of the unit. Only when the SNMP state
is enabled at system start-up will the SNMP processor task be created.
SNMP Enabled Traps: The SNMP Enabled Traps attribute controls which SNMP Traps the
unit will send.
SNMP Community String: The SNMP community string acts like a password between the
networks SNMP management entity and the distributed SNMP clients (600 Series bridge).
Only if the community string is configured correctly on all SNMP entities can the flow of
management information take place. By convention the default value is set to ‘public’. When
the community string is changed the system requires a mandatory reboot before the new
string or phrase is adopted.
SNMP Port Number: Is the port the SNMP management agent is listening to for commands
from an SNMP manager. The default value for this port number is 161.
SNMP Trap IP Address: Is the address of either the network SNMP manager or Trap
receiver. When asynchronous events (traps in SNMP terminology) are generated, the client
unicasts these to this IP Address. When the address is changed the system requires a
mandatory reboot before the setting is adopted
SNMP Trap Port Number: The SNMP Trap Port Number is the port number of either the
networked SNMP manager or Trap receiver. By convention the default value for the port
number is 162. When the port number is changed the system requires a mandatory reboot
before the setting is adopted.
WiMAX Control: Enables and Disables the WiMAX (802.16) MIB. This control is only
displayed when ‘Fixed Frequency’ is selected during installation.
8.3.11.7 SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol)
The SMTP client is an alternative method for the 600 Series bridge to alert a system
administrator when there are or have been system errors
SMTP Email Alert: This attribute controls the activation of the SMTP client.
SMTP Enabled Messages: The SMTP Enabled Messages attribute controls which email
alerts the unit will send.
SMTP IP Address: The IP address of the networked SMTP server.
8 Web Page Reference
181
SMTP Port Number: The SMTP Port Number is the port number used by the networked
SMTP server. By convention the default value for the port number is 25.
SMTP Source Email Address: The email address used by the 600 Series to log into the
SMTP server. This must be a valid email address that will be accepted by your SMTP
Server.
SMTP Destination Email Address: The email address to which the 600 Series bridge will
send the alert messages.
8.3.11.8 SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol)
The SNTP client allows the 600 Series to obtain accurate date and time updates from a
networked timeserver. The system time is used for SNMP and event logging.
SNTP State: When enabled, the Remote Management web page permits the following
attributes to be set:
SNTP IP Address: The IP address of the networked SNTP server.
SNTP Port Number: The port number of the networked SNTP server. By convention the
default value for the port number is 123.
SNTP Poll Interval: The period at which the SNTP client polls the server for time correction
updates. Default 1 hour. If for any reason an SNTP poll fails, the client will automatically
perform 3 retries before waiting for the user defined poll period.
Time Zone: The time zone is a fixed offset from GMT that is added to the SNTP time to allow
the expression of time in all geographic time zones.
Daylight Saving: Allows a fixed offset of one hour to be added to the SNTP time in order to
reflect the local daylight saving time.
8.3.11.9 Setting the clock
The PTP 600 Series bridge has a system clock which can be used to supply accurate date
and time information in the absence of a SNTP server. The system clock is battery backed
and will continue to operate for several days if the 600 Series bridge has been switched off.
SNTP State: If the SNTP State is set to “Disabled”, see Figure 93, then the Remote
Management web page allows the following attributes to be set:
Set Time: Shows the current time in 24 hour mode. The three editable fields display hours
minutes and seconds.
8 Web Page Reference
182
Set Date: Displays the current date. The year, month and day can be set using the drop-
down selection boxes.
Time Zone: See Section.8.3.11.9 “Setting the clock”.
Daylight Saving: See Section 8.3.11.9 “Setting the clock”
8.3.12 Diagnostics
To further enhance the diagnostic capabilities of the PTP 600 Series, the storage of link
performance histograms has been extended to 31. To optimize RAM (volatile memory) usage
a cascading histogram approach has been adopted. The root histogram is identical to the
histograms in earlier releases of the software, that is data is stored for one hour at a
resolution of one second. Previously, the histograms were simple cyclic buffers which never
stored more that the last one hour of data. The new cascading histogram approach daisy
chains multiple histograms together. When the first histogram fills up the overflow from the
first is used as an input to the next histogram in line. To optimize memory utilization, a
statistical analysis is performed on the overflow to reduce the amount of data to be stored. In
the case of the PTP 600 Series the cascading histograms are defined as:
Histogram 1: 1 hour at a resolution of 1 second
Histogram 2: 24 hours at a resolution of 1 minute
Histogram 3: 30 Days at a resolution of 1 hour
For example, when histogram 1 fills up and starts to overflow the first minute of overflow is
analyzed and the maximum, minimum and mean over that minute are computed and inserted
into histogram 2. When histogram 2 fills up and starts to overflow the first hour of overflow is
analyzed and the maximum, minimum and mean over that hour is computed and inserted into
histogram 3. When histogram 3 starts to overflow, the overflow data is simply discarded.

9 Recovery Mode
The Motorola PTP 600 point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges have a special mode of
operation that allows the user to recover a unit from configuration errors or software image
corruption.
Recovery mode is entered by depressing the Recovery Switch located on the underside of
the PIDU Plus while applying mains power, as shown in Section 3.3.2 “PIDU Plus – PTP 600
Series Bridge” The Recovery Switch should be held in the depressed state for between 10
and 20 seconds after the application of mains power. The Ethernet LED will flash with 10
double flashes at power up (following the release of the Recovery switch).
When in recovery mode the user will be able to access the unit via the Ethernet interface. The
Ethernet interface will have its IP address set to 169.254.1.1 (or 10.10.10.10 see section

10 Fault Finding
198
10 Fault Finding
If communication has been lost with the unit at the near end of the link then there may be a
hardware fault with the wiring, network or hardware. Go to the hardware section below. If
communication with the far end of the link is lost then go to the radio section below.
10.1 Hardware
If there are problems suspected with the link hardware the following procedure is
recommended:
10.1.1 Power
Check the power LED at each end of the link. If the power lights are illuminated go to the
Ethernet section below. If at either end they are not illuminated then23 check the power
source.
If neither is illuminated then there is no voltage on the power wires to the ODU.
Check that the mains power is connected and switched on.
Check that the power LED illuminates if the ODU connector is disconnected at the PIDU
Plus (Remove the PIDU Plus flap on the left hand side).
If it does illuminate then either the ODU is drawing too much current, or the power wiring to
the ODU is short circuit or the PSU is supplying insufficient power. The likely fault can be
determined by removing the jumper (J906), found inside the removable cover of the PIDU
Plus, and measuring the current taken with an ammeter placed across the 2 jumper pins. This
is normally 10mA without the ODU connected and 300mA to 1A when the ODU is connected.
If it does not illuminate then recheck that power is applied to the PIDU Plus by measuring the
voltage across +55V and 0V pads inside the removable cover in the PIDU Plus. Check that
the PIDU Plus is not short circuit by measuring the impedance across the Power connector. Is
the led faulty?
23 The power indicator LED should be continually illuminated.
10 Fault Finding
199
10.1.2 Ethernet
The Ethernet LED is driven from the ODU processor and thus is capable of informing you of
many conditions using different flash sequences. If the Ethernet indicator does not illuminate
at all there are four possible conditions.
There is no power reaching the ODU because of a wiring fault
The ODU is faulty
The PIDU Plus is faulty
The Ethernet network side is faulty
Look at the following table to check the LED response for power up, disconnect the power
and reapply and note what happens.
Differentiating between 1-3 and 4 can be achieved by removing the power for 1 second.
Watch the Ethernet indicator for 1 minute while power is removed, if it never flashes then the
problem is 1-3. Take the jumper (J905) out of the PIDU Plus and check the current taken by
the ODU. This should be 300mA to 1A when starting to run normally.
If the Ethernet indicator flashes to begin with but then stops flashing, the ODU is powered and
software loaded but Ethernet connectivity has been lost between the ODU and the users
connected equipment. All Ethernet connections should be rechecked.

10.1.3 Checking your wiring
If the above procedures fail to diagnose the issue you may have a wiring fault. Unplug the
RJ45 from the PIDU+ and check the following resistances at the RJ45:
1. Check the cable resistance between pins 1 & 2, 3 & 6, 4 & 5 and 7 & 8 at the RJ45.
2. Check against column 2 in Table 33. Resistances for each pair should be within 1 ohm of
each other.
3. Check the cable resistance between pins 1 & 3 at the RJ45. Check against column 3 in
Table 33.
10 Fault Finding
201
4. Check the cable resistance between pins 4 & 7 at the RJ45. Check against column 4 in
Table 33.
5. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pins 1 & 8 for all cable lengths.
6. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 1 and ODU ground for all cable
lengths.
7. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 8 and ODU ground for all cable
lengths
10.2 Radio
10.2.1 No Activity
If communication over the radio link has been lost and the unit at the other end of the link can
be managed on its local network, the following procedure should be adopted:
If there is no wireless activity then the configuration should be checked. It is essential that the
following items are correct:
Check for Alarm conditions on Home page
Check that the software at each end of the link is the same version
Check that the Target Mac address has not been mis-configured at each end of the link
Check Range
Check Tx Power
Check License keys to ensure that both units are the same product variant
Check Master/Slave status for each unit and ensure that one unit is Master and the other
unit is slave
Check that the link has not been further obscured or the ODU misaligned
Check the DFS page at each end of the link and establish that there is a quiet wireless
channel to use.
If there are no faults found in the configuration and there is absolutely no wireless signal, retry
the installation procedure. If this does not work then the ODU may be faulty.
10 Fault Finding
202
10.2.2 Some Activity
If there is some activity but the link is unreliable or doesn’t achieve the data rates required
then:
Check that the interference has not increased using the i-DFS measurements
If a quieter channel is available check that it is not barred
Check that the path loss is low enough for the communication rates required
Check that the ODU has not become misaligned

11 Lightning Protection
CAUTION: EMD (Lightning) damage is not covered under standard warranty. The
recommendations in this user manual, when implemented correctly, give the user the best
protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor
possible.
11.1 Overview
The idea of lightning protection is to protect structures, equipment and people against
lightning by conducting the lightning current to ground via a separate preferential solid path.
The following should be treated as a guide only, the actual degree of lightning protection
required depends on local conditions and weather patterns and applicable local regulations.
Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the international
standards IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70-1984 or section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code.
11.1.1 Lightning Protection Zones
The installation of the ODU can be classified into two different lightning protection zones:
Zone A: In this zone a direct lighting strike is possible.
Zone B: In this zone a direct lightning strike is unusual, but the un-attenuated
electromagnetic eld is still present.
The zones are determined using the ‘rolling sphere method’, an imaginary sphere, typically 50
meter in radius is rolled over the structure. All structure points that contact the sphere, (Zone
A) indicate the zone where a direct strike is possible. Similarly points that do not contact the
sphere indicate a zone (zone B) where a direct strike is less likely.
11 Lightning Protection
204
The following diagrams (Figure 117 & Figure 118) show this zoning pictorially:
Equipment mounted in Zone A should be capable of carrying the full lightning current.
Mounting of the ODU in Zone A is not recommended. Mounting in Zone A should only be
carried out observing the rules governing installations in Zone A24 Failure to do so may put
structures, equipment and life at risk.
Equipment mounted in Zone B should be grounded using grounding wire of at least 10 AWG.
This grounding wire should be connected to a grounding rod or the building grounding system
before entry in to building.
The PTP 600 Series bridge ODU grounding point can be found on the bottom of the unit. The
600 Series Bridge is supplied with an appropriate grounding lug for attachment to the ODU.
Figure 117 - ODU mounted in Zones A & B
24 Local regulations may also require the fitting of the 8 AWG ground wire referred below.

Lightning protection: Motorola PTP-LPUT - 4 per link (2 Motorola Kits, part number 2907)
Grounding Stake
RJ45 screened connectors
NOTE: There may be a local regulatory requirement to cross bond the CAT 5e cable at
regular intervals to the mast. This may be as frequent as every 10 meters (33 feet).
11 Lightning Protection
206
Figure 119 includes illustrations showing the placement of the PTP lightning protection units and the
recommended components for typical Mast/Tower or Wall installations.
Figure 119 - Diagrammatically Showing Typical Mast and Wall Installations
The PTP LPU can be installed in one of the following configurations:
Option 1: Back-to-Back with the ODU using the supplied brackets delivered part of the
installation of a link. This is the configuration recommended by Motorola.
Option 2: using the U-Bolt bracket supplied with the PTP LPU Kit.
Typical examples of these two configurations are shown in Figure 120 and Figure 121.
NOTE: Grounding Points are shown unprotected for clarity. Grounding points should be
adequately weatherproofed to prevent corrosion and possible loss of ground continuity.

11.3.1 Pre-Power Testing
Before plugging the RJ45 from the lower LPU (or if not fitted the ODU) into the PIDU, check
the following resistances at the RJ45:
1. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&2, 3&6, 4&5 and 7&8 at the RJ45. Check
against column 2 in Table 33. Resistances for each pair should be within 1 ohm of each
other.
2. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&3 and 4&7 at the RJ45. Check against
columns 3 and 4 respectively in Table 33.
3. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pins 1&8 for all cable lengths.
4. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 1 and ODU ground for all cable
lengths.
5. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 8 and ODU ground for all cable
lengths.

11.3.2 Post-Power Testing
The Correct Operation is as follows
1. Connect the RJ45 to the PIDU and apply power to the PIDU, the power LED should
illuminate continuously.
2. 45 seconds after powering, the Ethernet LED should be observed starting with 10 slow
flashes.
3. If there is a network connection the Ethernet LED will then show Ethernet activity.
The PIDU Green power LED does not illuminate
Unplug the ODU connection from the PIDU and check the power LED illumination. If the
power LED still does not light then check the power source.
The PIDU Green power LED flashes
A flashing power LED indicates that there is a short circuit on the output of the PIDU. Check
that pins 4&5 and 7&8 are not crossed with pins 1&2 and 3&6 on the RJ45, and also greater
than 100K ohms between pins 1&8
The PIDU Ethernet LED does not flash 10 times
Failure of the Ethernet LED to illuminate can be due to wiring to pins 4&5 and 7&8 being
incorrect, for example if the wiring to pins 4 and 7 are crossed. An indication that power is
available on the cable to the ODU is available in the LPU as shown Figure 124.
The PIDU Ethernet LED flashes ten times but irregularly
Irregularly flashing, seen as a short gap followed by a long gap, indicates that the ODU has
booted in recovery mode. This may be due to either the installation wiring or a corrupted main
code image in the ODU.
The Ethernet LED flashes ten times but does not show Ethernet activity
Failure of the Ethernet LED to show Ethernet activity can be due to wiring to pins 1&2 and
3&6 being incorrect, for example if the wiring to pins 1 and 3 are crossed.
The Ethernet connection to the network is only 10/100 BaseT, when 1000 BaseT was
expected
It is likely there is a fault with the wiring to pins 4&5 and 7&8.
11 Lightning Protection
212
11.4 Locating the Fault
Having identified which of the wiring cores are likely to be connected incorrectly, the location
of the faulty cable can be narrowed by disconnecting sections of the drop cable and by
unplugging the relevant RJ45 connectors from the LPUs.
As a further aid to locating the fault the Ethernet connections are also available inside the
LPU. The connections can be accessed by rotating the LPU lid as shown in Figure 124 The
Lid nut only needs to be slacken, do not remove. Test point P1 on the LPU PCB
corresponds to pin 1 on the RJ45 etc.
An indication of power on the Ethernet cable is also provided inside the LPU, LED PWR1 will
illuminate in the case of the PTP600 series, LED PWR2 should not.

12 Wind Loading
213
12 Wind Loading
12.1 General
Antennas and electronic equipment mounted on towers or pole mounted on buildings will
subject the mounting structure to significant lateral forces when there is appreciable wind.
Antennas are normally specified by the amount of force (in pounds) for specific wind
strengths.
The magnitude of the force depends on both the wind strength and size of the antenna.
12.2 Calculation of Lateral Force
The 600 Series bridge with or without the integral antenna is essentially a flat structure and so
the magnitude of the lateral force can be estimated from:
Force (in pounds) = 0.0042 . A . v2
Where A is the surface area in square feet and v is the wind speed in miles per hour.
The lateral force produced by a single 600 Series bridge (integrated or connectorized model)
at different wind speeds is shown in Table 34 and Table 35.

214
NOTE: When the connectorized version of 600 Series bridge is used with external antennas,
the figures from the antenna manufacturer for lateral force should be included to calculate to
total loading on the mounting structure.
12.3 Capabilities of the PTP 600 Series Bridges
The structure and mounting brackets of the PTP Series systems are capable of withstanding
wind speeds up to 151mph (242 kph). The installer should ensure that the structure to which
the 600 Series Bridge is fixed to is also capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds
and loads.
12.4 Wind Speed Statistics
Installers are recommended to contact the national meteorological office for the country
concerned to identify the likely wind speeds prevalent at the proposed location. This will
enable the installer to estimate the total wind loading on the support structures.
Examples of the sort of statistics that are available are:

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

216
13.2.3 Antenna Choices – 5.8 GHz
The integrated antenna has a gain of 23 dBi.
In non-FCC regions antenna choice is not restricted but any region specific EIRP limit must
be obeyed by reducing the maximum Transmit power25, see Section 5.2 “Licenses and
Region Codes”.
In FCC regions external antennas from the list in Section 13.6.3 “Antennas for USA / Canada
– 5.8 GHz” can be used with the Connectorized version of the 600 Series Bridge. These are
approved by the FCC for use with the product and are basically constrained by the following
limits:
Single Polarization Flat Plate Antennas – up to 28dBi per antenna.
Single/Dual Polarization Parabolic Dish Antennas – up to 37.7dBi per polarization or
antenna.
In FCC regions when using external antennas – cable loss between the connectorized
version of the 600 Series Bridge and the antenna ports must not be less than 1.2dB.
NOTE: When operating PTP 58600 with a 5 MHz channel bandwidth and with dish antennas
larger than 4 ft (1.2 metres) diameter, the maximum operating power must be reduced to 24
dBm (3 dB reduction) to ensure that FCC requirements are met.
13.2.4 Antenna Choices – 5.4 GHz
The integrated antenna has a gain of 23 dBi.
The PTP 54600 Series Bridge has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in
Section 13.6.4 “Antennas for USA/Canada - 5.4 GHz”, and having a maximum gain of 34.9
dB for the 30, 15 and 10 MHz channel bandwidth (32.3dBi for the 5MHz channel bandwidth)
variant.
However, the Maximum Transmit Power must be reduced to avoid exceeding the EIRP
limits25.
In FCC regions when using external antennas – cable loss between the connectorized
version of the 600 Series Bridge and the antenna ports must not be less than 1.2 dB.
25 Maximum Transmit Power Allowed = EIRP Limit – Antenna Gain + Cable Losses; set the power to the 1dB
value lower than the actual value calculated.

13.3 Software/Features
The connectorized variant operates in the same way as the basic 600 Series and is released
initially with the feature set to the Connectorized 600 Series variant. The areas where the
functionality is modified are:
13.3.1 Status Page
The link loss calculation presented on the Status Page of the management interface has to be
modified to allow for the increased antenna gains at each end of the link. The manufacturing
process of the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge configures the standard hardware of the unit
for use with external antennas. The installer is prompted, as part of the installation process, to
enter the gain of the external antenna(s) and cable losses at each end of the link.
Peer-to-peer messaging is used to pass the effective antenna gain to each end of the link so
that the link loss calculations can be correctly computed.

13.3.3 Installation Pages
The installer is prompted to enter the Antenna Gain and Cable Loss (Connectorized PTP 600
Series Bridge to antenna) at each end of the link. The Installation Page(s) is shown as Figure
128 to Figure 130.

NOTE: In the event that there is a significant difference in length of the antenna cables for the
two antenna ports, then the average value should be entered.
Spectrum Management Control: Is used to configure the 600 Series Bridge Spectrum
Management features, see Section 8.3.7 “Spectrum Management” for more details. iDFS is
the abbreviation for intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection, which continually monitors the
spectrum looking for the channel with the lowest level of on channel and co-channel
interference. Fixed frequency mode allows the installer to fix the Transmit and receive
frequencies on the units. The frequencies may be configured symmetrically or
asymmetrically.

Figure 129 - Connectorized 600 Series bridge ‘Confirm Installation’ Page
EIRP: The Confirm Installation Page displays the EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power),
which describes the strength of the radio signal leaving the wireless unit. This allows the
operator to verify that their link configuration (Max Transmit Power, Antenna Gain and Cable
Loss) do not cause the link to exceed any applicable regulatory limit.

13.4 Deployment Considerations
The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the 600 Series. It should only be
necessary to use external antennas where the LINKPlanner indicates marginal performance
for a specific link – for example when the link is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an
NLOS link or extremely long LOS links (>80km or >50 miles) over water.
13 PTP 600 Series Bridge – Connectorized Model
223
The external antennas can be either dual-polarization (as the integrated antenna) or two
single polarized antennas can be used in a spatially diverse configuration. It is expected that
the dual-polarization antennas would normally be used to simplify the installation process;
spatially diverse antennas may provide additional fade margin on very long LOS links where
there is evidence of correlation of the fading characteristics on Vertical and Horizontal
polarizations.
Dual polarization antennas (with a gain greater than the integrated antenna) are currently only
available in parabolic dish form.
13.5 Link Budget
An estimate of the link budget for a specific application can be obtained by using the Motorola
Systems link estimation tools. For more information see the Motorola web site.
13.6 Regulatory Issues
Installations must conform to any applicable local regulations for the Equivalent Isotropic
Radiated Power (EIRP).
Ensuring compliance becomes more complex when the connectorized unit is used with
external antennas which may be locally sourced. With higher gain external antennas fitted,
the Maximum Transmit power may need to be reduced for operation in specific countries.
See Section 5.2 “Licenses and Region Codes” for any EIRP restrictions that may apply in
your region.
In some regions, operation of the PTP 54600 products is constrained by an EIRP limit. The
normal constraint is that the EIRP does not exceed 30 dBm (33 dBm for PTP 58600) for radio
signals with a bandwidth of >=20 MHz. As the PTP 54600 operating bandwidth is
approximately 27 MHz, then the limit is 30 dBm EIRP (33 dBm for PTP 58600).
When operating with external antennas, the installer/operator has to set the maximum
transmit power to ensure that the EIRP limit is not exceeded. The Set_Max_Transmit_Power
is calculated as below:
Set_Max_Transmit_Power = [Max_Transmit_Power] rounded down to nearest lower dB.

13.6.1 Antenna Choice (FCC and Industry Canada Regions Only)
For FCC and Industry Canada, the PTP 58600 Series Bridge has been designed to operate
with the antennas listed Section 13.6.3 “Antennas for USA / Canada – 5.8 GHz”, and having a
maximum gain of 37.7 dB.
The PTP 54600 Series Bridge has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in
Section 13.6.4 “Antennas for USA/Canada - 5.4 GHz”, and having a maximum gain of 34.9
dB for the 30, 15 and 10 MHz channel bandwidth (32.3dBi for the 5MHz channel bandwidth)
variant.
Antennas not included in these tables or having greater gains are strictly prohibited for use
with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
13.6.2 Cable Losses (FCC Regions Only)
The FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the units of
approximately 1.2dB at 5.8GHz. The use of lower cable losses would result in the installation
being outside the FCC rules.
As an indication, 1.2dB of cable loss corresponds to the following cable lengths excluding
connector losses (source: Times Microwave).

13.7 Installation
The section covers the generic installation instructions for the Connectorized versions of the
PTP 600 Series point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges. The actual installation procedure will
depend on antenna choice, cable choice, required antenna separation etc.
13.7.1 Antenna Choice
Section 13.6.3 “Antennas for USA / Canada – 5.8 GHz” and Section 13.6.4 “Antennas for
USA/Canada - 5.4 GHz” show a wide variety of antennas that can be used with the
Connectorized PTP 600 Series bridge. The main selection criteria will be the required
antenna gain. The secondary criteria should be the ease of mounting and alignment. For
example the Radio Waves Parabolic dishes are supplied with a mount that allows adjustment
for alignment independent of the actual antenna mounting. This type of antenna is much
easier to align than those that have to be rotated around the mounting pole for alignment.
13.7.2 Cables and Connectors
Cables should be selected using the above criteria. However it should be noted that a cable
of a type similar to LMR400 is a lot more difficult to handle and route than a cable of a type
similar to LMR100.
Motorola recommends the use of weatherproof connectors -- preferably, ones that come
supplied with adhesive lined heat shrink sleeve that is fitted over the cable/connector
interface.
The connectors required at the Connectorized 600 Series bridge end of the antenna cables
are N-Type Male.
The connectors required at the antenna end of the antenna cables is dependant on the
antenna type chosen.
13.7.3 Tools
The tools required for mounting a Connectorized 600 Series bridge unit are the same as
those required for an Integrated 600 Series bridge detailed in Section 7.3 “Tools Required”.
The tools required for mounting the antennas are specific to the antenna chosen. The installer
should refer to the antenna manufacturer’s instructions.
13 PTP 600 Series Bridge – Connectorized Model
231
13.7.4 Miscellaneous supplies
The following miscellaneous supplies will be required:
Cable ties, cable cleats – for securing cables
Self-amalgamating tape – to weatherproof the RF connectors
PVC tape – for additional protection of the RF connectors and securing cables
13.7.5 Mounting the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge
A Connectorized 600 Series bridge is shipped with the same bracket as supplied with an
Integrated unit. Details on the use of this bracket can be found in Section 3.3.7 “Mounting
Brackets”. The 600 Series Bridge should be mounted in a position that gives it maximum
protection from the elements, but still allows easy access for making off the various
connections and applying the recommended weatherproofing.
When using dual polar antennas the Connectorized 600 Series bridge should be mounted in
such a position as to minimize the cable length, keeping losses to a minimum (taking into
account the minimum cable lengths required by the FCC regulations, see Section 13.6.3
Antennas for USA / Canada – 5.8 GHz”.
When using separate antennas the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge should be mounted in
such a position as to minimize both cable runs between the unit and the antennas. It is not
necessary to mount the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge at the mid point between the
antennas.
13.7.6 Mounting the antennas
The Antennas should be mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Actual
antenna position will depend on the available mounting positions and link requirements. It
may be necessary to mount the antennas 20m apart or at a certain distance from the ground
to get the desired results.
13 PTP 600 Series Bridge – Connectorized Model
232
13.7.7 Alignment Process
When aligning antennas deployed with a Connectorized 600 Series bridge unit it may not be
possible to hear the alignment tone emanating from the unit. In this case it may be necessary
for a second installer to assist in the operation. Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the
tube on the supplied stethoscope to give a longer reach.
Recommendation: Fine antenna alignment can sometimes be achieved by tightening and
loosening the bolts on either side of the antenna mounting bracket, rather than trying to turn
the whole bracket on the mounting pole.
13.7.8 Aligning Dual Polar Antennas
The process for aligning a dual polar antenna is the same as aligning an Integrated unit with
an integrated antenna. This procedure is detailed in Section 7.7.11 “Aligning the PTP 600
Series Bridge ODUs”.
13.7.9 Aligning Separate Antennas
When using separate antennas to achieve spatial diversity, one should be mounted with
Horizontal polarization and the other with Vertical polarization.
The following steps should be followed:
Step 1: Mount the Antennas
Step 2: Mount the connectorized version of the PTP 600 Series Bridge unit
Step 3: Route and make off the ends of the Antenna cables
Step 4: Connect the antenna cables at the antennas
Step 5: Connect one of the antenna cables at the Connectorized version of the 600 Series
bridge unit.
Step 6: Connect the Connectorized 600 Series Bridge ODU to PIDU Plus cable and
configure the unit as described in Section 7.7 “Connecting Up”.
Step 7: Align the connected antenna using the tones as described in Section 7.7.11 “Aligning
the PTP 600 Series Bridge ODUs”.
Step 8: Connect the other antenna to the Connectorized 600 Series bridge.
Step 9: Disconnect the cable to the already aligned antenna.
13 PTP 600 Series Bridge – Connectorized Model
233
Step 10: Align the second antenna using the tones as described in Section 7.7.11 “Aligning
the PTP 600 Series Bridge ODUs”.
Step 11: Re-connect the second antenna to the Connectorized 600 Series bridge (Note: you
will notice the tone pitch increase as you re-connect the second antenna due to the additional
received signal).
Step 12: Use the relevant status web pages to check that you are getting the results you
expect from your link planning.
Step 13: Complete the installation as detailed below.
13.7.10 Completing the Installation
The installation should be completed by checking all mounting nuts bolts and screws,
securing all cables and weatherproofing the installation.
CAUTION: Finally tightening the antenna mountings may cause the antenna alignment to be
altered, due to distortion in the mounting bracket caused by action of tightening. It is
recommended that the installation tone be left turned on (armed) during this process so that
any movement can be noticed and counteracted by tightening the other side of the bracket.
13.7.11 Antenna Cable Fixing
Cables should be secured in place using cable ties, cleats or PVC tape. Care should be
taken to ensure that no undue strain is placed on the connectors on both the Connectorized
600 Series bridge and the Antennas and also to ensure that the cables do not flap in the
wind. Flapping cables are prone to damage and induce unwanted vibrations in the mast to
which the units are attached.
13 PTP 600 Series Bridge – Connectorized Model
234
13.7.12 Antenna Connection Weatherproofing
Where a cable connects to an antenna or unit from above, a drip loop should be left to ensure
that water is not constantly channeled towards the connector.

All joints should be weatherproofed using self-amalgamating tape. It is recommended that a
layer of PVC tape be placed over the self-amalgamating tape to protect the joint while the
self-amalgamating tape cures and gives additional protection. Figure 132 shows this
diagrammatically for the 600 Series bridge end of the antenna cables. If the antenna
manufacturer has not supplied guidance on this matter, the same technique should be
employed at the antenna end of the cable.

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

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

Configure Link Range: Choose “yes” to enter the range of the link in control below: Note
that Link Range MUST be less or equal to “Longest Link in Network”. In some networks,
throughput can be increased by entering the exact range of each link in the wizard.
TDD Holdover Mode: Two values: “Strict” and “Best Effort”. If a PTP 600 master ODU is
configured for a TDD Holdover Mode set to “Strict”, then it will not transmit when
synchronization is lost. On the other hand, a link configured for TDD Holdover Mode set to
“Best Effort” will synchronize when a reference signal is available, but will otherwise use best
efforts to operate in unsynchronized fashion.

To aid the calculation of data rate throughput, the following plots of throughput verses link
range have been produced for all the PTP 600 Series modulation modes, assuming the units
are connected using Gigabit Ethernet.
Aggregate data rate capacity can be calculated using four key system parameters:
Receive modulation mode
Transmit modulation mode
Range Between the two wireless units
Wireless link mode (IP or TDM)
Using these parameters the Receive and Transmit data rates can be looked up using the
plots Figure 156 through Figure 168.

17 AES Encryption Upgrade
267
17 AES Encryption Upgrade
The Motorola PTP 600 Series bridges support link encryption using the NIST approved
Advanced Encryption Standard, HFIPS-197UTH. This standard specifies AES (Rijndael) as a
FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government
organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.
Link Encryption is not available in the standard PTP 600 Series system. A license key to
enable link encryption can be purchased from your Motorola Point-to-Point Distributor or
Solutions Provider. AES can be activated on receipt of the activation on the Motorola
Systems Support Page.
There are two levels of encryption that are available to purchase:
128-bit
128 and 256-bit
Option 1 allows the user to encrypt all traffic sent over the wireless link using 128-bit
encryption. Option 2 allows the user to encrypt traffic using either 128 or 256-bit encryption.
The configuration process for both encryption variants is identical except for the selection of
algorithm. The following configuration example is for a 256-bit encryption key.
17.1 Configuring Link Encryption
After purchasing AES encryption for the PTP 600 Series wireless link, two new license keys
will be issued, one for each end of the wireless link. The following configuration process gives
a step by step guide to enabling AES link encryption on a PTP 600 Series bridge.
17.1.1 License Keys
The first step when configuring link encryption is to enter the new license keys in both 600
Series wireless units.
Figure 169 shows the license key data entry screen. This screen can only be accessed by the
system administrator. If you do not have access to the PTP 600 Series system administration
pages then please contact your designated system administrator.
17 AES Encryption Upgrade
268
Figure 169 – AES Software License Key Data Entry
Configuring link encryption will necessitate a 600 Series bridge service outage. Therefore it is
recommended that the configuration process be scheduled during an appropriate period of
low link utilization. Motorola recommends the following process for entering new license keys
and minimizing service outage:
1. Open two browsers, one for each end of the link
2. Navigate to the ‘License Key’ data entry page for each end of the link
3. Enter the license keys and click the ‘Validate license key’ button at each end of the
link. This will allow the software to validate the license key prior to the system reset.
(DO NOT CLICK ARE YOU SURE POPUP DIALOG)
17 AES Encryption Upgrade
269
4. When both license keys have been successfully validated confirm the reboot for both
ends of the link. The software is designed to allow five seconds so that a user can
command both ends of the link to reset before the wireless link drops.
5. The link will automatically re-establish.
17.1.2 Encryption Mode and Key
Entering the license keys only does not initialize AES link encryption. Link encryption can only
be enabled via the Configuration or Installation Wizard pages. Motorola recommends that the
Configuration page Figure 170 be used to configure AES link encryption.
Figure 170 – AES Configuration Data Entry Page
Motorola recommends the following process for entering AES link encryption configuration:
1. Open two browsers, one for each end of the link
17 AES Encryption Upgrade
270
2. Navigate to the ‘Configuration’ data entry page for each end of the link
3. At both ends of the link select the ‘AES (Rijndael)’ Encryption Algorithm required.
4. At both ends of the link enter ether an 128-bit or 256-bit encryption key. Note the key
consists of 32/64 case insensitive hexadecimal characters. The same Key must be
entered at both ends of the link. Failure to enter the same key will cause the link to
fail.
5. Submit configuration on both ends of the link, but do not reboot.
6. Reboot both ends of the link Figure 171. The software is designed to allow five
seconds so that a user can command both ends of the link to reboot before the
wireless link drops.
Figure 171 - Configuration Reboot Screen

271
17.2 Wireless Link Encryption FAQ
17.2.1 Encryption data entry fields are not available
Check that the correct license key has been inserted into the unit. The current license key is
displayed on the ‘License Key’ data entry page.
17.2.2 Link fails to bridge packets after enabling link encryption
If the wireless link status on the status web page indicates that the link is ‘Searching’, and you
can browse to the local end of the link but not to the remote end, then check that the same
encryption algorithm and key have been entered at both ends of the link. Failure to enter the
same algorithm and key will result in received packets not being decrypted correctly.
17.2.3 Loss of AES following downgrade
When downgrading (using Recovery software image 05-01 onwards) to an earlier version of
software that does not support AES, the unit will indicate that the region code is invalid. The
user will be required to re-install correct software (supplied when AES key was activated) and
reboot the unit.

19.3.3 UK Notification
The PTP 58600 connectorized product has been notified for operation in the UK, and when
operated in accordance with instructions for use it is compliant with UK Interface Requirement
IR2007. For UK use, installations must conform to the requirements of IR2007 in terms of
EIRP spectral density against elevation profile above the local horizon in order to protect
Fixed Satellite Services. The frequency range 5795-5815 MHz is assigned to Road Transport
& Traffic Telematics (RTTT) in the U.K. and shall not be used by FWA systems in order to
protect RTTT devices. UK Interface Requirement IR2007 specifies that radiolocation services
shall be protected by a Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) mechanism to prevent co-
channel operation in the presence of radar signals.
IMPORTANT: This equipment operates as a secondary application, so it has no rights
against harmful interference, even if generated by similar equipment, and must not cause
harmful interference on systems operating as primary applications.

19.4.1 U.S. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC)
Notification28
This device complies with part 15.407 of the US FCC Rules and Regulations and with RSS-
210 Issue 7 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. In Canada, users should
be cautioned to take note that high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning
they have priority) of 5250 – 5350 MHz and 5650 – 5850 MHz and these radars could cause
interference and/or damage to license-exempt local area networks (LELAN).
For the connectorized version of the product and in order 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 permitted by the
regulations. The transmitted power must be reduced to achieve this requirement.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the US FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
Increase the separation between the affected equipment and the unit;
Connect the affected equipment to a power outlet on a different circuit from that which the
receiver is connected to;
Consult the dealer and/or experienced radio/TV technician for help.

21 FAQs
Can I source and use my own PoE adaptor with the 600 Series bridge? No. The 600
Series bridge uses a non-standard PoE configuration. Failure to use the Motorola supplied
Power Indoor Unit could result in equipment damage and will invalidate the safety certification
and may cause a safety hazard.
Why has Motorola launched the 600 Series bridge? The 600 Series bridge is the first
product to feature Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO). The PTP 600 Series solutions allow
wireless connections of up to 200km (124 miles) in near line-of-sight conditions and up to
10km (6 miles) in deep non-line-of-sight conditions.
What is Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)? The 600 Series bridge radiates multiple
beams from the antenna - the effect of which is to significantly protect against fading and to
radically increase the probability that the receiver will decode a usable signal. When the
effects of MIMO are combined with those of OFDM techniques and a best in class link
budget, there is a significant improvement to the probability of a robust connection over a
non-line-of-sight path.
What do you mean by “non-line-of-sight”? A wireless connection between two points
without optical line-of-sight, that is, with obstructions between the antennas the transmitted
signal is still able to reach the receiver and produce a good quality link.
What else is special about the 600 Series bridge ? There are many special features built-
in to the hardware of the 600 Series bridge. The product offers the highest system gain in its
class through high sensitivity antennas for improved signal recovery. It also features a
Software Defined Radio system that operates on ultra fast digital signal processors but is
controlled by firmware giving the ability to download new firmware when enhancements
become available. The 600 Series bridge has a built-in web server for advanced management
capabilities including detailed radio signal diagnosis.
In which frequency bands does the 600 Series bridge operate? The Motorola point-to-
point 600 Series bridge operates in the licensed bands 2.5 GHz and 4.5 GHz, and in the
unlicensed bands 5.4 GHz (ETSI Band B), 5.8 GHz (ETSI Band C and FCC ISM band) and
5.9 GHz. Users must ensure that the PTP 600 Series bridge complies with local operating
regulations.
21 FAQs
304
Why does the 600 Series bridge operate in the 5GHz band? The 5 GHz band offers the
dual benefits of high data throughput and good radio propagation characteristics. The wide
band of spectrum available is subdivided into several channels such that multiple systems
can operate in the vicinity without causing interference to one another.
Is the 600 Series bridge an 802.11a device? No, although similar, the 600 Series bridge
uses different encoding and radio transmission systems from 802.11a. In areas where
802.11a systems are operating, the 600 Series bridge will detect the 802.11a radio signals
and choose a clear channel away from any interference.
How much power does the 600 Series bridge transmit? At all times the 600 Series bridge
operates within country / region specific regulations for radio power emissions. In addition, the
600 Series bridge uses a technique known as Transmit Power Control (TPC) to ensure that it
only transmits sufficient radio power such that the other antenna can receive a high quality
signal.
How does the PTP 600 Series Bridge avoid interference from other devices nearby? At
initialization, the 600 Series bridge monitors the available frequency channels to find a
channel that is clear of interference. In operation 600 Series bridge continuously monitors the
spectrum to ensure it is operating on the cleanest channel.
How does the 600 Series bridge integrate into my data network? The 600 Series bridge
acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of your network. In this sense, it can be
treated like a virtual wired connection between the two buildings. The 600 Series bridge
forwards 802.3 Ethernet packets destined for the other part of the network and filters packets
it does not need to forward. The system is transparent to higher-level management systems
such as VLANs and Spanning Tree.
How does the 600 Series bridge provide security for data traffic? The 600 Series bridge
has a range of security features. At installation time each link must be programmed with the
serial ID of its partner. The two ends of the link will only communicate with one another,
eliminating any chance of "man in the middle" attacks. Over the air security is achieved
through a proprietary scrambling mechanism that cannot be disabled, spoofed or snooped by
commercial tools.
Can I use Apple Macintosh OS X to control and monitor my 600 Series bridge? Yes, but
there are some restrictions. Mozilla 1.6 or higher is recommended.
