Figure 3: PMP 49400 AP with connectorized radio and antenna
A Canopy CMMmicro or CMM4 provides synchronization and power to the PMP 400 Series APs
and PTP 200 Series BHMs. A 600SSC surge suppressor, a successor to the 300SS and 600SSB
surge suppressors, provides over-voltage and over-current protection to APs, SMs, and BHs in
various configurations.
2.1
TECHNOLOGY AND BENEFITS
These radios automatically select QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), 16-QAM (Quadrature
Amplitude Modulation), or 64-QAM based on RF environment to provide 1X, 2X, and 3X
operation, respectively. This provides 3 speeds and a throughput of over 20 Mbps aggregate
(sum of up plus down) compared to FSK Canopy products with 2 speeds and a throughput of up
to 14 Mbps.
The OFDM radios feature lower receive sensitivity, FEC (Forward Error Correction), and higher
antenna gain, all of which combine to provide longer range within regulatory-specified EIRP
(Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power).
Details on performance are listed in Table 2 on page 12.
The PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios use an OFDM physical layer with 10 MHz channels and
256 sub-carriers. Due to the different carrier and modulation schemes between these OFDM
radios and FSK Canopy radios, the two do not interoperate over the air. For example, an OFDM
SM cannot connect to an FSK AP.

NLOS and nLOS Benefits and Limitations
The use of OFDM technology will help in many cases of NLOS (Non Line-of-Sight) and nLOS
near Line-of-Sight (nLOS) links. LOS (Line-of-Sight ) means the installer can see the AP from the
SM and the first Fresnel zone is clear. An example of nLOS is when the installer can see the AP
from the SM, but a portion of the first Fresnel is blocked. An example of NLOS is when the
installer cannot see the AP from the SM, and a portion or even much of the first Fresnel is
blocked, but subsequent Fresnel zones are open. Figure 4 shows examples of such links.
Figure 4: LOS, nLOS, and NLOS
Whereas multi-pathing degrades a link in some technologies, like FSK, OFDM can often use
multi-pathing to advantage to overcome nLOS and NLOS, especially in cases where the Fresnel
zone is only partially blocked by buildings, “urban canyons”, or foliage. OFDM tends to help
especially when obstacles are near the middle of the link, and less so when the obstacles are
very near the SM, AP, or BH.
However, attenuation through walls and trees is substantial for any use of the 5.4 GHz or 4.9 GHz
frequency bands. Even with OFDM, these products should not be expected to penetrate walls or
extensive trees and foliage.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS – RF, IP, DFS
These systems use the Canopy Media Access Controller (MAC) layer. Settings like Downlink
Data %, Range, and Control Slots are similar to Canopy FSK radios. An AP can communicate to
over 200 SMs, similar to a Canopy FSK AP.
The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is almost identical to Canopy’s, with a few additions to
support OFDM-specific features.
Network features like High Priority using DiffServ, MIR, CIR, NAT, DHCP and VLAN are available
for the PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series OFDM radios, and are configured in the same way as they
are for the PMP 100 and 200 Series and PTP 100 Series radios.
In the 5.4 GHz band, DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) is provided for regulatory compliant
operation, and is activated using the “Region Code” feature. Two alternate frequencies can be
configured to provide service in the unlikely case a module detects radar and triggers DFS, the
same as standard Canopy. “External Antenna Gain” may need to be configured consistent with
any antennas used, to avoid making the system overly sensitive to radar detection. “Whitening,” a
technique used to avoid self-interference on Canopy FSK radios is not offered as an option on the
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios, as whitening is not a technology applicable to an OFDM
signal.
2.4
RELEASE MAPPING TO PRODUCTS
Releases run on the various products as follows:
2.5
•
Release 9.0 or Release 8.2.x runs on Canopy FSK radios (PMP 100 and 200 and
PTP 100 Series radios).
•
Release 8.4.x runs on PMP 54400 and PTP 54200 Series OFDM radios.
•
“Release 8.3” is not planned to be used for release numbering.
•
Release 9.3.1 runs on PMP 49400 Series OFDM radios
POWER AND GROUNDING
The PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios use a 30 VDC nominal power system, instead of the 24
VDC nominal power system used previously in standard Canopy. A new 30 VDC power supply is
available for the CMMmicro, and a new 30 VDC nominal (specified and labeled as 29.5 VDC)
power supply is available for the SM.
The new 30 VDC power supplies can also be used for standard Canopy, and are replacing the 24
VDC power supplies in the Canopy product line.
The PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios have slightly higher power use than Canopy FSK
radios, and the higher voltage is needed to carry the higher wattage on cable runs approaching
the 100 meter (328 ft) maximum length. CMMmicro 24 VDC power supplies and the latest version
of SM 24 VDC power supplies can power PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios for shorter runs.
Earlier versions of SM 24 VDC power supplies, especially the earlier heavier transformers,
cannot. The best practice is to use 30 VDC power supplies with PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
radios, and avoid potential issues and cable-length-specific engineering.
Due to the full metallic connection to the tower or support structure through the AP’s antenna or a
connectorized BH’s antenna, grounding of the AP or BH and a 600SSC surge suppressor within 3
ft (1 m) of the AP or BH is strongly recommended to suppress overvoltages and overcurrents,
such as those caused by near-miss lightning. APs and BHs provide a grounding lug for grounding
to the tower or support structure. A pole mount kit is available for the 600SSC, and provides a
grounding lug that can be used for terminating grounding straps from both the 600SSC and the
AP.

3 Planning
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series systems use a 10 MHz channel size configurable on 5 MHz
centers. This channel size, along with some different characteristics due to the use OFDM carrier
technology and QPSK, 16 QAM, or 64 QAM modulation, supports somewhat different channel
planning than for standard Canopy. (For reference, PMP 100/200 Series uses 20 MHz channels
configurable on 5 MHz centers, single carrier technology, and 2-level and 4-level FSK
modulation.)
3.1
TOWER CHANNEL PLANNING
For a single cluster of 4 APs on a tower, 2-channel re-use with channels on 10 MHz channel
center spacing gives good performance. In channel design parlance, this can be stated as ABAB
channel planning, with no guard band needed between A and B. A typical arrangement might be
to use radios configured for 5480 MHz aimed north and south, and radios configured for 5490
MHz aimed east and west.
(For reference, standard Canopy uses 2-channel re-use with clusters of 6 APs on a tower with
channel center spacing of either 25 MHz for Advantage APs or 20 MHz for non-Advantage APs.
This is ABCABC channel planning, with 5 MHz guard band between the 20 MHz channels for
Advantage APs and no guard band needed for non-Advantage.)
Available 5.4 GHz channel center frequencies for each region are shown in Table 3. These vary
by region due to
•
different band edge RF specifications (for example, between Canada/US and
Europe)
•
requirements in Europe and Canada to not impinge on the frequencies between 5600
and 5650 MHz, which are frequencies on which some weather radar operate

The best practice for channel planning for APs is to conduct extensive site RF surveys before
choosing channels. For those with the equipment and expertise, use commercial and industrial
spectrum analysis equipment. The PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series APs and SMs do not provide a
spectrum analyzer in the first release (planned for a subsequent release), but standard 5.4 GHz
FSK SMs can be used to give useful information on the RF environment in the planned PMP 400
and PTP 200 Series AP deployment location.
3.2
DOWNTILT
The standard AP antenna produces a 3 db beam elevation (up and down) of 5°, with near-in null
fill that allows good coverage of close-in SMs that otherwise would be affected by the narrow
pattern. This is a narrower pattern than operators may be used to with standard Canopy’s 60° 3
dB beam, and may require downtilt on the antenna. The standard antenna has provision for
measured downtilt. The operator should estimate downtilt based on antenna height above the
service area and using one of the many radio analysis and mapping tools or on-line calculation
tools for calculating downtilt.
3.3
WEATHER RADAR
Spectrum between 5600 and 5650 MHz (sometimes called the “weather notch”) is used by some
weather radar and is not allowed for use by regulations in some regions, including Canada and,
for new equipment, Europe. When the Canopy module is set to one of those regions (configured
on the “Configuration => General” page of the module), it will not allow configuration of the
appropriate frequencies, as shown in Table 3. Even in regions where use of the spectrum
between 5600 and 5650 MHz is allowed, such as the US, the best practice is to not use these
channels if there are any other usable channels available. Only use the channels in this “weather
notch” after performing long-term site surveys (minimum of a week) to ascertain the spectrum is
clear and that there don’t appear to be any weather radar in the area that will cause interference
to your Canopy system.
3.4
RANGE AND THROUGHPUT PLANNING
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series modules provide up to 21 Mbps aggregate throughput at distances
of 1.25 mi (~1 km) (1.7 mi for 4.9 GHz systems) in RF environments with clear line-of-sight and
low background interference levels. Additional performance details are shown in Table 2 on page
12. RF environments with occluded Fresnel zones or higher background interference levels may
give lower, but still very good, performance, depending on the specifics of the environment.
Similar to standard Canopy, at any given instant, any radios operating at 1X or 2X take more “air
time” to transmit a given amount of data than if they were running at 3X. Similar to standard
Canopy, PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series modules may see reduced total throughput when
handling traffic with a high percentage of small packets.
The effect of this, again similar to standard Canopy, is that at any given instant total throughput
depends on
3.5
•
Mix of links running at 3X, 2X, and 1X
•
Mix of packet sizes
SPECTRUM ANALYZER
A spectrum analyzer is available on the SM at Tools => Spectrum Analyzer. The spectrum
analyzer is also available on an AP by temporarily converting it to an SM by setting the Device
Type to SM on the AP’s Configuration => General page. The spectrum analyzer works like the
spectrum analyzer in classic FSK SMs.
Spectrum analyzer uses include
Issue 3, January 2009

PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
Canopy User Guide Supplement
•
Showing relative power levels across the band, to aid in selecting channels and
performing RF planning.
•
Troubleshooting to finding the frequency, relative power level, and location of
interferers by rotating a single SM, or triangulating from multiple SMs in a
geographical area.
The OFDM spectrum analyzer, the FSK spectrum analyzer, and the FSK Receive Power Level
are all measuring and displaying peak power levels. The OFDM Receive Power Level is
measuring and displaying the average power level. In addition, an OFDM SM measures power
across 10-MHz channels while an FSK SM measures power across 20-MHz channels.
Due to all this, the reported Receive Power Level on an OFDM SM can be 10 to 15 dB lower
than the value shown for that channel on the spectrum analyzer. For example, for an OFDM AP
transmitting on 5540 MHz, the OFDM SM might show a Receive Power Level of -70 dBm while
the OFDM and FSK spectrum analyzers show power levels of -54 and -51 dBm at 5540 MHz.
The built-in spectrum analyzer can be very useful as a tool for troubleshooting and RF planning,
but doesn’t duplicate the accuracy and programmability of a dedicated, high-end spectrum
analyzer, which may be needed in some cases.
3.6
COLLOCATION OF 5.4 GHZ OFDM WITH STANDARD 5.4 GHZ
CANOPY FSK
When locating 5.4 GHz PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series OFDM APs near 5.4 GHz standard
Canopy FSK APs (especially on the same tower, but also in the same geographical area), the
following practices should be followed to avoid interference between the two systems:
•
Plan spacing between OFDM and FSK channels to provide 25 MHz center spacing,
which gives a 10 MHz guard band between the 10 MHz OFDM channel and the 20
MHz FSK channel.
•
Coordinate Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slot settings using both the
OFDM and the FSK frame calculators
The following paragraphs give more details on these recommended practices.
3.6.1
Channel Spacing
Center spacing of 25 MHz between collocated FSK and OFDM APs provides a 10 MHz guard
band between the 20 MHz and 10 MHz channels, which has proven useful and needed in field
testing. Alternatively, in cases where channel planning is severely restricted and the 10 MHz
guard band (25 MHz spacing) is not possible, using vertical separation of 5 feet or more between
the OFDM and FSK APs may allow collocation with no guard band (15 MHz spacing) in some
deployments.
3.6.2
Frame Calculations and Configuration Settings
Interference between collocated Canopy systems can be avoided by following two practices:
1. Use a CMM. This synchronizes frame start, so that all collocated APs begin
transmitting at the same time each 2.5 millisecond frame.
2. Use the frame calculators in each module, OFDM and FSK (the frame calculators are
different, as frame details are different) to select Downlink Data %, Range, and
Control Slots for each system that produce “Rec SEQ Start” values that are within
300 bit times. This ensures that all collocated APs end transmission each frame
before any collocated AP begins to receive.
Issue 3, January 2009
Page 15 of 45
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
Canopy User Guide Supplement
When collocating only Canopy OFDM APs together, or collocating only Canopy hardwarescheduled FSK APs together, the simple practice of setting the Downlink Data %, Range, and
Control Slots the same on all APs ensures they won’t interfere with each other. (These
parameters are set on the “Configuration => Radio” page of the AP.) However, due to the
different “physical” layer between Canopy OFDM and Canopy FSK, this doesn’t necessarily work
when collocating OFDM and FSK together.
You will need to use frame calculators on both the OFDM and FSK modules, as they are different
frame calculators. For the same Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slots, the frame
calculators give different results. Use of the frame calculators is similar to the previous use when
collocating software-scheduled and hardware-scheduled APs.
Procedure 1: Finding collocation values using Frame Calculators
1. Using the “Tools => Frame Calculator” on an OFDM module, enter the desired
Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slot settings, click Calculate, and observe the
“Rec SEQ Start” value.
2. Using the “Tools => Frame Calculator” on an FSK module, enter the desired
Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slot settings, click Calculate, and observe the
“Rec SEQ Start” value.
3. Iterate, usually adjusting the FSK Downlink Data % and the OFDM Downlink Data %
values by a few percent each time, until the “Rec SEQ Start” times of all collocated
modules are within 300 bit times of each other.
4. Configure the OFDM modules using the resulting OFDM values, and the FSK
modules using the resulting FSK values.

4 Configuring
Most Canopy Series 400 configuration items are identical or very similar to configuration items in
standard FSK Canopy modules. This section discusses those that are new or changed and also
remarks on some that remain unchanged.
4.1
LINK OPERATION – 1X/2X/3X
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series products offer three levels or speeds of operation – 1X, 2X, and 3X
- instead of the two levels offered by standard Canopy. 3X supports a typical maximum aggregate
(sum of up and down) throughput of up to 21 Mbps.. If received power is less due to distance
between the AP/BHM and the SM/BHS or due to obstructions, or interference affects the RF
environment, the Canopy system will automatically and dynamically adjust links to the best
operation level. Distance, rates and other information associated with the operation levels are
shown in Table 2 on page 12.
Similar to standard Canopy, the system chooses its operation rate dynamically, based on
Canopy’s internal ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) error control method. With ARQ, every data
slot of every frame sent over the air (expect downlink broadcast) is expected to be acknowledged
by the receiver, and if acknowledgement is not received, the data is resent. The sending unit
monitors these resends, and adjusts the operation rate accordingly. A normal system may have
links that move from 3X to 2X and back (or 1X) as the RF environment changes, or links.
Furthermore, the links operate independently, and it is normal, for example, for the downlink to
run at 3X while the uplink RF environment only supports 2X.
The default is for both AP/BHM and SM/BHS to be enabled for 3X operation. An operator may
“lock down” a link to 2X and 1X operation, or to only 1 X operation, using the Dynamic Rate Adapt
parameter on the SM’s “Configuration => General” page as shown in Figure 3 on page 15 . This
parameter locks down both uplink and downlink operation. An operator may lock down an entire
sector to 2X and 1X operation, or to only 1 X operation, using the Dynamic Rate Adapt parameter
on the AP’s “Configuration => General” page. This parameter locks down uplink and downlink of
all links in the sector, and overrides any SM 1X/2X/3X settings. That is, if an individual link is set
for 3X operation at the SM, but the sector is set for 1X operation at the AP, that link (and all links
in the sector) will be locked down to 1X operation.
Issue 3, January 2009
Page 17 of 45
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
Canopy User Guide Supplement
Figure 5: Dynamic Rate Adapt on AP "Configuration => General" page
In most cases, an operator is well-served to leave the setting at 1X/2X/3X and let the system
automatically and dynamically choose the best rate for each link. Cases when it may be useful to
lock down a link to 1X include
•
Some aiming and alignment efforts, although usually aiming and alignment and link
optimization work well with 3X operation allowed. If you are having trouble aiming a
link or getting it to register, locking the link down to 2X or 1X may help in some cases.
•
If the link is suspected to be oscillating between operation rates to the detriment of
throughput. Usually, even if the link is moving rapidly between operation rates,
overall link throughput and sector capacity are highest if the link is left at 3X and the
link can choose its own rate dynamically.
•
General link troubleshooting
Note that it is useful for as many links as possible to run at 3X to provide as much capacity as
possible for the sector. In particular, just because you want to limit throughput to an individual
subscriber does not mean you should set that link to 1X operation. Use MIR (Maximum
Information Rate) settings to cap the SM’s bandwidth use, but let the link run at as high an
operation rate as the RF environment will allow. This ensures that when transmitting data the link
uses as little “air time” as possible, leaving more “air time” for other SMs.
4.2
TRANSMITTER OUTPUT POWER (AND NO JITTER)
The AP/BHM’s Transmitter Output Power is configured on the AP/BHM’s “Configuration =>
Radio” page. For 5.4 GHz radios, Transmitter Output Power is settable in a range from –30 dBm
to 12 dBm, with a factory default setting of 10 dBm. For 4.9 GHz radios, Transmitter Output
Power is settable in a range from -30 dBm to 18 dBm, with a factory default setting of 18 dBm.
In most regulatory regions, including the US, Canada, and Europe, PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
modules operating in the 5.4 GHz band are limited to 27 dBm EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic
Issue 3, January 2009
Page 18 of 45
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
Canopy User Guide Supplement
Radiated Power). This is different than the 30 dBm EIRP allowed for Canopy FSK modules
operating in the 5.4 GHz band because the regulations are for spectral power density and with
half the channel size (10 MHz vs 20 MHz), PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios are allowed half
the power (27 dBm vs 30 dBm).
To meet 27 dBm EIRP with the connectorized 18 dBi antenna (with 1 dB of cable loss) that
comes with the 5440AP or 5441AP, or the integrated 17 dBi antenna that comes with a 5440BH
or 5441BH, the maximum setting allowed is 10 dBm (the default) since 27-17=10.
If a connectorized AP or BHM has been purchased and the operator has provided the antenna,
the Transmitter Output Power must be configured based on that antenna and consistent with
local or regional regulations. For example, if a 5440APC is being used with a 12 dBi antenna,
then the maximum setting allowed to meet 27 dBm EIRP is the full 15 dBm of which the radio is
capable, since 27-12=15.
IMPORTANT!
It is the responsibility of the operator and professional installer to ensure
Transmitter Output Power is set within regulatory limits for their country
or region. These must be set or confirmed on initial configuration and
after a module is reset to factory defaults, and should be confirmed after
the software on a module is upgraded.
In most cases, the operator will want to set the AP’s Transmitter Output Power to the maximum
allowed so as to have the greatest overall range and the greatest range for 3X operation. It may
be useful to reduce Transmitter Output Power when Canopy systems are located close together,
with good coverage given because of their proximity and full power isn’t needed, or in cases
where an operator is trying to reduce interference from the Canopy system to other systems.
Each SM’s Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP, not by the operator. The
AP’s Auto-TPC (Transmit Power Control) sets each SM’s Transmitter Output Power to the lesser
of
•
10 dBm for a 5.4 GHz radio, the maximum allowed on the SM since it has an
integrated 17 dBi antenna and a regulatory maximum EIRP of 27 dBm (27-17=10)
•
18 dBm for a 4.9 GHz radio
•
a power level so that the received power at the AP from that SM is not greater than
60 dBm.
PMP 400 Series networks use Auto-TPC because OFDM technology is more sensitive to large
differences in power levels from SMs operating at various distances from the AP than the single
carrier technology used in Canopy FSK.
PTP 200 Series networks do not use Auto-TPC – the operator sets Transmitter Output Power on
the “Configuration => Radio” page of both the BHM and the BHS.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series modules display the typical Canopy “Receive Power Level” but
due to the different modulation technique no “jitter” is calculated or displayed.
4.3
DOWNLINK DATA %, RANGE, AND CONTROL SLOTS
The Downlink Data % parameter on the AP’s and BHM’s “Configuration => General” page can be
set in 1% increments between 10% and 90%. (Standard Canopy can be set between 1% and
99%, although internal calculations don’t result in that extreme of slot assignment between uplink
and downlink.) The default is 75%, the same as standard Canopy.
Issue 3, January 2009
Page 19 of 45
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
Canopy User Guide Supplement
The default Range, set on the AP’s “Configuration => General” page, is 5 miles, but can be set in
1 mile increments between 1 and 10 miles. The BHM performs its own ranging and so no range
need be set for it.
If the Range is set to greater than 5 miles, then the Downlink Data % can be a maximum of 85%,
else some close-in SMs won’t register due to details of the Canopy scheduler. For example, a
Range of 6 miles and a Downlink Data % of 90% is not allowed. Operationally,
•
if the Downlink Data % is set to greater than 85% and the user enters a range greater
than 5 miles, the module will reset the Downlink Data % to 85%
•
if the range is set to greater than 5 miles and the user enters a Downlink Data % of
greater than 85%, the module will reset the Downlink Data % to 85%.
Suggested Control Slot settings as a function of number of SMs in the sector are shown in Table
5. Generally all APs in a cluster should use the same number of control slots so as to keep the
frame structures, and thereby the send and receive timing, the same.
Table 5: Control Slot Settings
Number of SMs that
Register to the AP
Number of Control
Slots Recommended
1 to 10
11 to 50
51 to 150
151 to 200
Note 1: Any sector with the Hi Priority Channel enabled on any SM should be
configured with at least 1 Control Slot on the AP.
In some cases, operators may find that sectors with high levels of small packet requests, such as
might be seen in a sector handling several VoIP streams, benefit overall from slightly higher
Control Slot settings. If different sectors require different numbers of Control Slots, the operator
should use the Frame Calculator to find a combination of settings that put “Rec SEQ Start” times
within 300 bit times. See section 3.6.2 on page 15 for details.
Control Slots are reserved for SMs’ bandwidth requests and never handle data. A higher number
of control slots gives higher probability that an SM’s bandwidth request will be heard when the
system is heavily loaded, but with the tradeoff that sector capacity is reduced by about 100 kbps
for each Control Slot configured, so there will be less capacity to handle the request.
Uplink Data Slots are used first for data, but if not needed for data in a given frame can be used
by the SMs for bandwidth requests. So, even with zero control slots configured, the SMs can still
make bandwidth requests, using any unused data slots.
BHMs do not have settings for control slots, as there is no contention on the one-to-one link.
Downlink Data %, Range, and Control Slots should be set consistent with the results of any
collocation planning done using OFDM and FSK frame calculators in section 3.6.2 on page 15.
4.4
DFS AND REGULATORY PARAMETERS FOR 5.4 GHZ RADIOS
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a requirement in several countries and regions for 5 GHz
unlicensed systems to detect radar systems and avoid co-channel operation. DFS and other
Issue 3, January 2009
Page 20 of 45
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
Canopy User Guide Supplement
regulatory requirements drive the settings for the following parameters, as discussed in this
section:
•
Region Code
•
Primary Frequency
•
Alternate 1 and Alternate 2 Frequencies
•
External Antenna Gain
On the AP, the “Home => DFS Status” page shows current DFS status of all three frequencies
and a DFS log of past DFS events. Note, unlike standard Canopy, the PMP 400 and PTP 200
Series AP, SM, and BH do not offer “Whitening”, as the OFDM technology obviates the need for
it.
4.4.1
Background and Operation
The modules use region-specific DFS based on the “Region Code” selected on the module’s
“Configuration => General” page. By directing installers and technicians to set the Region Code
correctly, the operator gains confidence the module is operating according to national or regional
regulations, without having to deal with the details for each region.
Available “Region Codes” include Other, United States, Canada, Europe, Brazil, Russia, and
Australia. Operators in regions or countries not listed and with requirements aligned with one of
the listed countries should set the Region Code to that country. Operators in regions or countries
with no requirements for DFS should use the “Other” Region Code.
New APs and BHMs from the factory will show a Region Code of “None”, and will not transmit
until the Region Code is set to a value other than “None”.
Canada and, for new equipment, Europe, have requirements to avoid certain frequencies used by
some weather radar. To meet this requirement, modules set to a Region Code of Canada or
Europe will display the center channel frequencies shown in Table 3 on page 13 on the AP’s and
BHM’s Carrier Frequency pop-up and on the SM’s and BHS’s Frequency Scan Selection List.
Table 6 shows the details of DFS operation and channels available for each Region Code,
including whether DFS is active on the AP/BHM, SM/BHS, which DFS regulation apply, and any
channel restrictions..

For countries or regions not listed, use a Region Code that provides DFS

2. In some countries and regions, 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz is “notched” out to
meet requirements to not transmit in weather radar frequencies.

Industry Canada requirements.
4. ETSI DFS indicates compliance with ETSI EN 301 893 v1.3.1
After an AP or BHM with DFS boots, it performs a channel availability check on its main carrier
frequency for 1 minute, monitoring for the radar signature, without transmitting. If no radar
signature is detected during this minute, the module then proceeds to normal beacon transmit
mode. If it does detect a radar signature, the frequency is marked for a 30 minute non-occupancy
st
period, and the module moves to its 1 alternate carrier frequency. It continues this behavior
nd
through its 2 alternate carrier frequency if needed, then will wait until the first frequency ends its
30 minute non-occupancy period. If while in operation, the AP or BHM detects the radar
signature, it mark its current carrier frequency for a 30 minute non-occupancy period, and move
to trying the next-in-line carrier frequency.
Since an SM or BHS only transmits if it is receiving beacon from an AP or BHS, the SMs or BHSs
in the sector are also not transmitting when the AP or BHM is not transmitting.
The FCC and IC require DFS only on APs and BHMs. Europe applies the ETSI specificiation to
both APs/BHMs and SMs/BHSs, while Brazil applies it only to APs and BHMs. In the ETSI case,
when an SM or BHS boots, it scans to see if an AP is present (if it can detect a Canopy beacon).
If an AP or BHM is found, the SM performs a channel availability check on that frequency for 1
minute, monitoring for the radar signature, without transmitting.
•
If no radar pulse is detected during this 1 minute, the SM or BHS proceeds through
normal steps to register to an AP or BHM.
•
If the SM or BHS does detect radar, it locks out that frequency for 30 minutes and
continues scanning other frequencies in its scan list.
Note, after an SM or BHS with DFS has seen a radar signature on a frequency and locked out
that frequency, it may connect to a different AP or BHM if color codes, AP/BHM transmitting
frequencies, and SM/BHS scanned frequencies support that connection.
To simplify operation and ensure compliance, an SM or BHS takes on the DFS type of the AP it is
registering to. For example, when an SM in Europe registers to an AP with the Region Code set
to “Europe”, that SM will use ETSI DFS, no matter what its Region Code is set to, even if its
Region Code is set to “None”. Note, the operator should still configure the Region Code in the SM
correctly, as future releases may use the Region Code for additional region-specific options.
For all modules running DFS, the module displays its DFS state on its Home => General Status
page as one of the following:
•
Checking Channel Availability Remaining time n seconds, where n
counts down from 60 to 1.

•

•
Radar Detected Stop Transmitting for n minutes, where n counts down
from 30 to 1.
•
Idle, only for SM or BHS, indicates module is scanning, but has not detected a
beacon from an AP or BHM. Once it detects beacon, the SM or BHS begins a
Channel Availability Check on that frequency.
Setting DFS and Regulatory Parameters
Setting the Region Code
All modules display a Region Code pop-up on the :Configuration => General” page, as shown in
Figure 6.
On new modules from the factory, or after resetting to factory defaults, the operator should set
this Region Code consistent with their country or region. For countries or regions not listed in the
Region Code pop-up, set the Region Code consistent with your country’s regulatory
requirements. (For example, several countries in South America follow the same DFS regulations
as Brazil, so in those countries the Region Code should be set to “Brazil”.)
IMPORTANT!
Operators under regulatory requirements for DFS must ensure the new
Canopy parameter “Region Code” is set correctly. This applies to initial
configuration, after a module is reset to factory defaults, or after a
module is upgraded.
An AP or BHM will not transmit if the Region Code is configured to “None”.
IMPORTANT!
On APs or BHMs received from the factory, with Region Code set to
“None”, the operator must set the Region Code before the module will
transmit. The same is true of APs and BHMS which have been reset to
factory defaults.

Figure 6: Region Code on AP “Configuration => General” page
An SM or BHS has both a configurable Region Code and, once it registers to an AP or BHM, an
active Region Code. After an SM/BHS registers to an AP/BHM, it uses the Region of the AP/BHM
to determine its DFS behavior and displays the AP’s or BHM’s Region Code on its Home =>
General Status page, as shown in Figure 8.
The two Region Codes should be the same in normal operation, but will not be the same if, for
example, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8, an SM configured with a Region Code of “None” has
registered to an AP with a Region Code of Europe.

The AP or BHM always operates under its manually configured Region Code (the one on the

Under normal operations, APs and BHMs operating with DFS (see Table 6) will experience an
additional minute after power-up or reboot before they will register any SMs or BHSs. SMs and
BHSs operating with DFS (see Table 6) will experience an additional minute after they reboot
before they will register to an AP or BHM.

It takes two reboots to set the parameters described below on a module starting from factory
defaults. Set the Region Code as described above, “Save Changes”, and “Reboot”. If the module
then invokes DFS (based on the Region Code and frequency band as shown in Table 6), the
Radio Frequency Carriers and External Antenna Gain parameters will be displayed. Set them as
described below, “Save Changes”, and “Reboot” again.
IMPORTANT!
Set the Region Code, “Save Changes”, and “Reboot” to see the contextsensitive DFS parameters. Unlike with many context-sensitive
parameters, these do not appear in the GUI with only a “Save Changes”.
Setting Radio Frequencies
APs and BHMs running DFS include an option for setting up to two alternate frequencies on the
“Configuration => Radio” page, in addition to the primary frequency. These alternate frequencies
are used in the unlikely event radar is detected and the main frequency is locked out due to DFS
detection. If these are left at “None”, no backup frequencies will be used in the case of DFS
detection, and the AP or BHM will lock itself out from any transmission for 30 minutes.
If radar is detected on the main frequency, either at startup or during operation, a Channel
st
Availability Check will be performed on the 1 alternate frequency before it is then used for
st
transmission. If radar is detected on the 1 alternate frequency, either during Channel Availability
Check or during operation, a Channel Availability Check will be performed on the 2nd alternate
frequency before it is then used for transmission. If radar is detected on the 2nd alternate
frequency, either during Channel Availability Check or during operation, the radio will cease
transmission unless or until the primary channel clears its 30 minute lock-out.
The alternate frequencies configured in the AP or BHM must be included in the SM’s or BHS’s
Frequency Scan List, or the SMs/BHSs can’t follow their AP/BHM if it switches to a new channel.
Additional frequencies may checked in the Frequency Scan List depending on local practices, for
example if an operator wants to configure an SM to only register on certain frequencies to drive a
known SM to AP mapping, or configure an SM to register on many frequencies so that it may find
another AP to register to if its usual AP isn’t available.
Note, use site surveys and RF planning to choose alternate frequencies useful for each sector,
and consider testing on the alternate frequencies to ensure compatibility with the sector’s RF
environment.
4.5
NET ANTENNA GAIN FIELD
An AP, SM, or BH needs to know the gain of its antenna to perform DFS and Auto-TPC
(Automatic Transmit Power Control) (SM only) consistent with regional or national regulations.
The GUI includes a Net Antenna Gain field to support this.
Key points about the Net Antenna Gain field include:
•
Net Antenna Gain is defined as the gain of the antenna minus the loss in the coaxial
cable and connectors.
•
The Net Antenna Gain is set on the Configuration -> Radio page of each module
(AP, SM, BHM, or BHS)
•
The default on a new unit, or when the unit is reset to factory defaults, is 17 dB for
5.4 GHz radios and 16 dB for 4. 9 GHz radios..
•
The range is 0 to 35 dB.
Issue 3, January 2009
Page 26 of 45
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
Canopy User Guide Supplement
•
A 5.4 GHz SM or BH with an integrated antenna has a Net Antenna Gain of 17 dB.
•
The antenna sold with the connectorized 5.4 GHz AP has a gain of 18 dB and cable
loss of approximately 1 dB, giving a Net Antenna Gain of 17 dB.
•
A 4.9 GHz SM or BH with an integrated antenna has a Net Antenna Gain of 16 dB.
•
The antenna sold with the connectorized 4.9 GHz AP has a gain of 17 dB and cable
loss of approximately 1 dB, giving a Net Antenna Gain of 16 dB.
•
Any radio using DFS will use the Net Antenna Gain to appropriately adjust sensitivity
to radar signals. The use of DFS is determined by the Region Code setting on the
Configuration => Home page.
•
The Auto-TPC used by the PMP 400 Series system takes into account the Net
Antenna Gain so as not to exceed national or regional EIRP limits.
Procedure for setting the Net Antenna Gain
1. If using a BH or SM with an integrated antenna, or a connectorized AP with the
connectorized antenna sold with it, leave the Net Antenna Gain on the Configuration
=> Radio page set to the factory default of 17 dB for 5.4 GHz radios or 16 dB for 4.9
GHz radios.
2. If using another antenna, set the Net Antenna Gain to the gain of the antenna minus
the loss in coaxial cable and connectors.
Important!
Ensure the Net Antenna Gain is set correctly. Setting it low or high can lead to
either a system overly sensitive to DFS events or a system not transmitting at its full legal power.
4.6
NETWORK CONTROL PARAMETERS
Network control parameters are configured the same as they are in standard Canopy. These
include, High Priority/DiffServ, NAT, DHCP, VLAN, MIR, and CIR. MIR and CIR are configured
the same way as in standard Canopy, but the operator may (or may not) want to take advantage
of the higher MIR possible to provide greater bandwidth to a given SM.
4.7
FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios use FEC (Forward Error Correction) to extend the range of
the modules. They use Reed-Solomon error correction optimized at 3/4 coding. The coding rate is
not settable by the operator.
4.8
CYCLIC PREFIX (CONFIGURABLE ONLY ON BH)
OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at
the beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired
data. A 1/4 cyclic prefix means that for every 4 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional
bit is used, A 1/8 cyclic prefix means that for every 8 bit of throughput data transmitted, an
additional bit is used.
PMP 400 Series networks use a cyclic prefix of 1/4 that is not configurable by the user.
PTP 200 Series modules (OFDM BHs) are settable for either 1/8 or 1/4 cyclic prefix. The use of
1/8 cyclic prefix provides about 11% higher maximum throughput, and is recommended in most
cases.
•
The Cyclic Prefix is set on the Configuration => Radio page of the BHM.
•
The default on a new unit, or when the unit is reset to factory defaults, is 1/4 Cyclic
Prefix.
Issue 3, January 2009
Page 27 of 45
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
•
Canopy User Guide Supplement
In most deployments, 1/8 Cyclic Prefix will provide a high quality, higher throughput
link. In cases with severe multi-pathing or obstructions, 1/4 Cyclic Prefix may give
better overall results.
Procedure for setting the Cyclic Prefix
3. Set the Cyclic Prefix on the Configuration => Radio page of both the BHM and the
BHS to 1/8 before deployment.
Important!
The Cyclic Prefix must be set the same on both the BHM and the BHS. If they
don’t match, the BHS will not register to the BHM.
4. During installation use Link Tests to confirm link quality per standard installation and
alignment procedures.
5. If a Link Test shows low throughput or efficiency, consider changing the Cyclic Prefix
to 1/4 on both the BHM and the BHS along with other standard installation
troubleshooting procedures such as re-aiming, off-axis aiming, changing location,
raising or lowering the height of the radio, adjusting Transmission Power up or
down, or identifying and mitigating sources of interference.

5 Installation
WARNING!
Installing an AP or a BH usually involves height and electricity and
exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy. To avoid personal injury,
know and follow applicable national and local safety regulations and
industry best practices, and follow the specific guidelines in this
document, including Exposure Separation Distances in section 6.3 on
page 40.
5.1
INSTALLING AN AP WITH ITS KITTED ANTENNA
This section addresses installation aspects specific to the PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series AP.
General communications equipment, infrastructure, and facilities site design should be performed
in line with Motorola’s “Standards and Guidelines for Communications Sites” (also known as the
R56 manual), available from
http://www.motorola-wls.com/Dynamic/Course_Description.asp?number=ANT001-CD&CourseKe
y=125
The AP ships either as a kit consisting of a connectorized antenna and a connectorized radio, or
just the connectorized radio, with the antenna provided by the operator. These instructions focus
on the former case, but are also generally applicable to the latter case for APs, SMs, or BHs
where the antenna is purchased separately by the operator.
A short coaxial cable from the radio terminates in a male N connector. The antenna has a
chassis-mounted female N connector. The antenna includes tower mount brackets with
adjustable down-tilt.
Installing an AP typically consists of 4 phases:
1. Configuring the AP in a depot or at the job site using the information and decisions
from section 3, Planning, and section 4, Configuring
2. Assembling the AP (radio and antenna and brackets) and physically installing it using
Procedure 2 for 5.4 GHz APs or Procedure 3 for 4.9 GHz APs, along with physically
installing a CMMmicro or CMM4 and backhauls, if any.
3. Cabling the AP to the CMMmicro or CMM4, and grounding it to Protective Earth – PE
using Procedure 4. This phase can also include cabling to backhauls, or running
terrestrial feeds.
4. Confirming operation, using SMs on the ground.
Local practices and choices of installation options will dictate the actual processes used. For
example, installing on a building requires somewhat different procedures.. Also, operators may
use their own procedures to attach one or more APs to a pipe mount while on the ground, and
then lift the assembled unit up a tower for final attachment. These generalized procedures will not
be applicable in every case, but should give good insight into the steps necessary.

Procedure 2: Assembling a 5.4 GHz AP, and attaching to tower
1. Perform a parts check to ensure all
parts are present.
2. Assemble the upper bracket, per the
diagram that comes with the
antenna.
3. Connect the radio to the antenna by
sliding it into the captive space.
Secure the radio to the antenna
using the two bolts provided.
4. Assemble the lower bracket on the
antenna assembly.
Although it may seem intuitive to
attach both brackets to the tower or
pole and then hang the antenna, it
usually works better to have the
bottom bracket already attached to
the antenna before climbing.
5. Weatherproof the connector using
standard practices, with waterproof
wrap.

10. Adjust downtilt as desired, per
previous calculations done during
Planning. If any doubts, confirm
downtilt after the radio is operational
using SMs in the field at selected
test locations.
=========================== end of procedure ======================
Procedure 3: Assembling a 4.9 GHz AP, and attaching to tower
1. Perform a parts check to
ensure all parts are present.
2. Assemble unit per the
instructions that come with the
kit.

3. Connect the radio to the
antenna by sliding it into the
captive space. Secure the
radio to the antenna using the
two bolts provided.
4. Weatherproof the connector
using standard practices, with
waterproof wrap.
5. Use standard work and safety
practices for tower climbing,
and connect the upper
assembly to a pole, mounting
fixture, or the tower.
6. Adjust downtilt as desired, per
previous calculations done
during Planning. If any doubts,
confirm downtilt after the radio
is operational using SMs in the
field at selected test locations.
=========================== end of procedure ======================
Procedure 4: Cabling and Grounding/Earthing the AP
1. Standard Canopy installation practices apply, including using shielded Ethernet cable
for all infrastructure cabling, using drip loops, providing extra cable for future use at
any termination, and ensuring the tower or structure is fully grounded (Protective
Earth – PE).
2. Use dielectric grease on all connections and in all RJ-45 Ethernet connectors.
(Dielectric grease is generally available in the trade, and is specially formulated so as
to be uniformly non-conducting.) The best practice is to use enough grease to fill the
RJ-45 female connector, and then insert the RJ-45 male connector and push the
grease further into the Canopy unit and around the RJ-45 connector. Excess grease
Issue 3, January 2009
Page 33 of 45
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series
Canopy User Guide Supplement
can be wiped over the connector area to provide some resistance to water ingress
around the connector.
3. Use a 600SSC surge suppressor within 3 ft (~1 m) of the AP, and ground it to known
good ground (Protective Earth - PE) on the tower or support structure with a 10 AWG
ground strap.
A pole mount kit is available for mounting the 600SSC to the tower or mast. The
mount includes a termination point for the ground strap from the 600SSC.
4. Run a 10 AWG ground strap from the grounding lug on the AP (see Figure 9) to
known good ground (Protective Earth - PE) to complete the grounding and protection
of the AP. The termination point on the 600SSC pole mount kit may be used for this.
=========================== end of procedure ======================
Figure 9: Ground lug highlighted on AP
Unlike standard Canopy APs, the PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series AP have metal-to-metal contact
from the tower or support structure, through the antenna, through the coax cable, to the radio.
Due to this, to provide the best protection from near lightning hits, it is strongly recommended to
install surge suppression at the AP.
The 600SSC surge suppressor replaces earlier surge suppressors, and supports up to three
600SSCs on an Ethernet link in series, for example, a 600SSC within 3 ft (~1 m) of an AP,
another 600SSC where the Ethernet cable enters a telecommunications hut, and the equivalent
of a 600SSC built into each of the 8 ports on a CMM4. A pole mount kit, Model No. SGHN5169A,
is available to facilitiate mounting the 600SSC close (within 3 ft or 1 m) of the AP.
The CMMmicro uses a different protection scheme and and up to 3 600SSCs can be used in-line
on Ethernet links terminated to the CMMmicro.

Canopy User Guide Supplement
INSTALLING AN SM OR BH WITH AN INTEGRATED ANTEANNA
Installing an SM or BH with an integrated antenna is very similar to installing standard Canopy
SMs as described in the Canopy System Release 8 User Guide, with the differences outlined
below.
Use an SMMB2 SM mounting bracket, not an SMMB1 typically used with standard Canopy SMs.
The PMP 400 Series SM or the PTP 200 Series BH is heavier and has a higher wind load than a
classic Canopy module, and so the stronger SMMB2 is required. The SMMB2 is the mounting
arm used with Canopy 900 MHz integrated APs and SMs, and used with reflectors.
Use dielectric grease on all connections and in all RJ-45 Ethernet connectors. (Dielectric grease
is generally available in the trade, and is specially formulated so as to be uniformly nonconducting.) The best practice is to use enough grease to fill the RJ-45 female connector, and
then insert the RJ-45 male connector and push the grease further into the Canopy unit and
around the RJ-45 connector. Excess grease can be wiped over the connector area to provide
some resistance to water ingress around the connector.
The PMP 400 SM and PTP 200 BH have a ground/Protective Earth lug, just like the AP. Although
not as critical as in the case of the AP (where there is metal-to-metal connectivity through the
coax and antenna to ground), the lug can be used to ground the SM for additional protection.
Similarly, a 600SSC can be used within 3 ft (~1 m) of the SM or BH to provide additional
protection. Especially for a BH, or in cases where the SM is mounted high and is more exposed,
or in known difficult areas for lightning, consider using these two techniques to increase the
radio’s resistance to lightning.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series modules do not display a jitter value. Use “Received Power Level”
for aiming and then use Link Tests to confirm, similar to standard Canopy practice.
Be mindful when using the “Receive Power Level” that it is a relative, not absolute, value. The
"Receive Power Level" on a module is useful during installation to aid in aiming, where relative
values over a short period of time are of interest. However, the displayed “Receive Power Level”
is not designed to be highly accurate over time. Even if the actual received power is not varying,
the displayed "Receive Power Level" will vary with board-level temperature and may vary from
module to module. Know the limitations and use caution and judgment for any other use of
“Receive Power Levels”, including monitoring a link over time. deciding if the link is within
operating margins. deciding if a link is serviceable (link tests give a much better indication), or
comparing the link to other links.
The alignment headset will play a tone that varies in pitch (received power level), but not volume
(jitter), since PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series modules don’t calculate a jitter.

Details of Exposure Separation Distances Calculations and Power
Compliance Margins
Limits and guidelines for RF exposure come from:
•
US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at
http://www.fcc.gov, and the policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47
of the Code of Federal Regulations, as well as the guidelines and suggestions for
evaluating compliance in FCC OET Bulletin 65.
•
Health Canada limits for the general population. See Safety Code 6 on the Health
Canada web site at
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/radiation/99ehd-dhm237/index_e.html.
•
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.
The applicable power density exposure limits from the documents referenced above are
•
10 W/m for RF energy in the 5.4-GHz frequency bands.
Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
where
S = power density in W/m
P = RMS transmit power capability of the radio, in W
G = total Tx gain as a factor, converted from dB
d = distance from point source, in m
P"G
S=
4 # d2
Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields
d=
P"G
4# S
Table 10 shows calculated minimum separation distances d, recommended distances and
resulting power compliance margins for each frequency band and antenna combination.

The “Recommended Distances” are chosen to give significant compliance margin in all cases.
They are also chosen so that an OFDM module has the same exposure distance as a Canopy
module, to simplify communicating and heeding exposure distances in the field.
These are conservative distances:
•
They are along the beam direction (the direction of greatest energy). Exposure to the
sides and back of the module will be significantly less.
•
They meet sustained exposure limits for the general population (not just short term
occupational exposure limits), with considerable margin.
•
The calculated compliance distance d is overestimated because the far-field equation
models the antenna as a point source and neglects the physical dimension of the
antenna.
