2 Product Description
PMP 400/430 Series networks and PTP 200 Series bridges add OFDM-based (Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing) products to the Canopy family.
• PMP 430 SMs as shown in Figure 4 on page 7 use the Canopy SM form factor with
an integrated antenna.
• PMP 400 SMs as shown in Figure 5 on page 7 are available with either an integrated
antenna or an external N-type connector on a short length of coaxial cable for
connecting to a connectorized antenna.
• PMP 400/430 APs as shown on page 7 are always connectorized, and sold either as
a radio with a connectorized antenna as a kit, or as a radio with an external N-type
connector on a short length of coaxial cable for connecting to an operator-provided
antenna. U.S. customers must use the kit version since the FCC requires the radio to
be regulatory certified with the connectorized antenna.

2.1 TECHNOLOGY AND BENEFITS
The radio automatically selects 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 7 on page 26.
The PMP 400/430 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, a 5.4-GHz
OFDM SM cannot connect to a 5.4-GHz FSK AP.
2.1.1 nLOS Benefits and Limitations
In addition to providing LOS (Line-of-Sight) connectivity, use of OFDM technology can provide
nLOS (near Line-of-Sight) connectivity and sometimes NLOS (Non-Line-of-Sight) connectivity:
• LOS: the installer can see the AP from the SM and the first Fresnel zone is clear.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide
Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 19 of 64
• nLOS: the installer can see the AP from the SM, but a portion of the first Fresnel
zone is blocked.
• NLOS: the installer cannot see the AP from the SM and a portion or even much of the
first Fresnel zone is blocked, but subsequent Fresnel zones are open.
Figure 13 shows examples of LOS, nLOS, and NLOS links.
Figure 13: LOS, nLOS, and NLOS
Whereas multi-pathing degrades a link in some technologies (FSK, for example), OFDM can
often use multi-pathing to an advantage to overcome nLOS, especially in cases where the
Fresnel zone is only partially blocked by buildings, “urban canyons”, or foliage. OFDM tends to
help especially when obstacles are near the middle of the link, and less so when the obstacles
are very near the SM, AP, or BH.
However, attenuation through walls and trees is substantial for any use of the 5.8 GHz, 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.
2.2 APPLICATIONS
Applications for the PMP 58430/54400 and PTP 54200 Series systems include
• High throughput enterprise applications
• nLOS video surveillance in metro areas
• Extend networks into urban areas
• Extend networks into areas with foliage
Applications for the PMP 49400 and PTP 49200 Series systems include
• High throughput licensed network for government applications
• Municipal network - nLOS video surveillance in metro areas
• Disaster relief network
• Data service network - extend licensed networks into areas with foliage

2.3 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 400/430 and PTP 200 Series OFDM radios, and are configured in the same way as
they are for the PMP 100 Series and PTP 100 Series radios.
In the 5.8 and 5.4-GHz band, DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) is provided for regulatory
compliant operation, and is activated (if required per regulatory rules) 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 400/430 and PTP 200 Series radios, as
whitening is not a technology applicable to an OFDM signal.
2.4 POWER AND GROUNDING
PMP 58430 APs use a nominal 56 VDC power system with power on pins 5 and 8 and return on
pins 4 and 7. PMP 58430 APs must use a CMM4 with a 56 VDC power supply. A CMMmicro will
not power these units as it is providing the wrong voltage on the wrong pins. PMP 58430 SMs
use a 29.5 VDC wall mount power supply.
PMP 54400 APs and SMs and PTP 54200 BHs use a nominal 30 VDC power system with power
on pins 7 and 8 and return on pins 4 and 5. PMP 54400 APs and PTP 54200 BHs can be
powered from either a CMMmicro with a 30 VDC power supply or a CMM4 with a 30 VDC power
supply. A 29.5 VDC wall mount power supply is available for PMP 54400 SMs.
PMP 49400 APs and SMs and PTP 49200 BHs use a nominal 56 VDC power system with power
on pins 5 and 8 and return on pins 4 and 7. PMP 49400 APs and PTP 49200 BHs must use a
CMM4 with a 56 VDC power supply. A CMMmicro will not power these units as it is providing the
wrong voltage on the wrong pins. A 56 VDC power supply is available for PMP 49400 SMs.
IMPORTANT!
When working on sites with both power systems, use care not to wrongly
mix power supplies and radios as the two power systems use different
pinouts as well as different voltages.
On sites with a mix of 30 VDC and 56 VDC radios (up to the limit of 8 radios supported by one
CMM4), a CMM4 connected to both a 30 VDC power supply and a 56 VDC power supply can be
used.
Due to the full metallic connection to the tower or support structure through the AP’s antenna or a
connectorized BH’s antenna, grounding the AP or BH and installing a 600SS surge suppressor
within 3 ft (1 m) of the AP or BH is strongly recommended to suppress over voltages and over
currents, such as those caused by near-miss lightning. APs and BHs provide a grounding lug for
grounding to the tower or support structure.

3 Planning
PMP 400/430 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 modulations, 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 5.8 GHz channel center frequencies for each region are shown in Table 8. These vary
by region due to different band edge RF specifications (for example, between Canada/US and
Europe).

Available 5.4 GHz channel center frequencies for each region are shown in Table 9. These vary
by region due to
• different band edge RF specifications (for example, between Canada/US and
Europe)
• requirements in US, Canada, Europe and Australia 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. The SM provides a basic Spectrum Analyzer that can be used for site
surveys. For more sophisticated analysis, consider consulting an experienced RF engineer and
using a full-featured spectrum analyzer.
3.2 DOWN TILT
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 down tilt on the antenna. The bracket of the standard antenna has
provision for measured down tilt. The recommended practice is to use one of the many radio
analysis and mapping tools or on-line tools to calculate down tilt based on antenna height above
the service area.
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 US, Canada
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide
Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 29 of 64
and, for new equipment, Europe. When the Canopy module is set to either 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 9. Even in regions where use of the spectrum
between 5600 and 5650 MHz is allowed, 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
monitoring the spectrum for a week or more using a spectrum analyzer to ascertain the spectrum
is clear and there is no weather radar in the area that will cause interference to your Canopy
system.
3.4 RANGE AND THROUGHPUT PLANNING
PMP 400/430 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
7 on page 26. 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 400/430 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
• Mix of links running at 3X, 2X, and 1X
• Mix of packet sizes
3.5 SPECTRUM ANALYZER
A spectrum analyzer is available on the SM’s Tools => Spectrum Analyzer page. 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
• 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.
Due to this difference, 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, when
measuring power from an OFDM AP transmitting on a given channel the OFDM SM might show a
Receive Power Level of -70 dBm while the OFDM spectrum analyzer shows a power level of -54
for that channel.
In addition, an OFDM SM measures power across 10-MHz channels while an FSK SM measures
power across 20-MHz channels, so power measurements are not directly comparable between
the two.

Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 30 of 64
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 5.8 GHZ OFDM WITH STANDARD 5.7 GHZ
CANOPY FSK
When locating 5.8 GHz PMP 430 OFDM APs near 5.7 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.
When collocating only Canopy OFDM APs together, or collocating only Canopy hardware-
scheduled 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.

3.7 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.
3.7.1 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.
3.7.2 Frame Calculations and Configuration Settings
Interference between collocated Canopy systems can be avoided by following two practices:
3. Use a CMM. This synchronizes frame start, so that all collocated APs begin
transmitting at the same time each 2.5 millisecond frame.
4. 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.
When collocating only Canopy OFDM APs together, or collocating only Canopy hardware-
scheduled 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

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 PMP 400/430 Series and PTP 200 Series 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 400/430 and PTP 200 Series products offer three levels or speeds of operation – 1X, 2X,
and 3X. 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 7 on page 26.
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
(except downlink broadcast) is expected to be acknowledged by the receiver, and if
acknowledgement is not received, the data is resent. The sending unit monitors these resends,
and adjusts the operation rate accordingly. A normal system may have links that move from 3X to
2X (or 1X) and back as the RF environment changes. Furthermore, the links operate
independently; normal operation can have a downlink running 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 1X/2X operation or to only 1X operation using the Dynamic Rate Adapt
parameter on the SM’s Configuration => General page as shown in Figure 22. 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. For example, if an individual link is set for 3X
operation at the SM and the sector is set for 1X operation at the AP, all links in the sector will be
locked down to 1X operation.
Figure 22: 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
• 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, locking the link down may increase 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
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide
Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 34 of 64
Optimal sector utilization involves having as many links as possible running at 3X. This provides
as much capacity as possible for the sector. As an example, you want to limit throughput to an
individual subscriber to 1X rates. This 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 any transmission
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.
Radio Frequency Transmit Output Power
Range Factory Default
Setting
PMP 58430 5.8 GHz -30 dBm to +20 dBm 16 dBm
PMP 54400
PTP 54200
5.4 GHz -30 dBm to +12 dBm 10 dBm
PMP 49400
PTP 49200
4.9 GHz -30 dBm to +18 dBm 18 dBm
In most regulatory regions, including the US, Canada, and Europe, PMP 400/430 and PTP 200
Series modules operating in the 5.8 GHz band are limited to 33 dBm with 10MHz channels and
5.4 GHz band are limited to 27 dBm EIRP (Equivalent Isotropic 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 15 dBi antenna,
then the maximum setting allowed to meet 27 dBm EIRP is the full 12 dBm of which the radio is
capable.
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.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide
Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 35 of 64
Each SM’s Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP. The AP monitors the
received power from each SM, and adjusts each SM’s Transmitter Output Power so that the
received power at the AP from that SM is not greater than -60 dBm. In addition, for 5.4-GHz SMs,
the AP sets the SM’s Transmitter output power so the SM’s EIRP will be within regulatory
requirements.
PMP 400/430 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 bridges do not use Auto-TPC – the operator sets Transmitter Output Power on
the “Configuration => Radio” page of both the BHM and the BHS.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series modules display the typical Canopy “Receive Power Level” as
shown in Figure 23. Due to the different modulation technique no “jitter” is calculated or
displayed.
Figure 23: SM Power Level on AP “Home => Session Status” page.
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%. The default as shown in Figure 24 is 75%.
The Range parameter on the AP’s Configuration => General page can be set in 1-mile
increments between 1 and 10 miles. The default as shown in Figure 24 is 5 miles. Set the Range
to the distance of the furthest SM from any AP in the area. The Range parameter effectively
determines frame structure of the Canopy over-the-air protocol, especially turn-around guard
time. Setting Range the same across a geographical area give best overall performance.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide
Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 36 of 64
Range does not change transmit power levels. Do not set a higher Range than needed. A higher
Range gives no higher power and slightly reduces throughput to allow for higher air delay and
turn-around time.
If the Range is set to greater than 5 miles, the SM limits the Downlink Data to a maximum of
85% to avoid close-in SMs having registration issues. 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%.
Figure 24: Max Range & Downlink Data on AP "Configuration => Radio" page.
Suggested Control Slot settings as a function of number of SMs in the sector are shown in Table
11. 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.

Register to the AP Suggested Number of
Control Slots

151 to 200 3
Note 1: Any OFDM sector with the Hi Priority Channel enabled on any SM
should be configured with at least 1 Control Slot on the AP.

Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 37 of 64
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 3.7.2 on page 31 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. If they are the not needed for data in a given frame the
data slot can be used by the SMs for bandwidth requests. This allows SMs in sectors with zero
control slots configured to still make bandwidth requests using unused data slots.
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 3.7.2 on page 31.
The BHM performs its own ranging and so no range need be set for it.
BHMs do not have settings for control slots, as there is no bandwidth request contention on the
one-to-one link.
4.4 DFS AND REGULATORY PARAMETERS FOR 5.8 & 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
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. Unlike standard Canopy, the PMP 400/430 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, United States and Europe have requirements to avoid certain frequencies used by some
weather radar. To meet this requirement, modules set to a Region Code of Canada, United
States or Europe will display the center channel frequencies shown in Table 9 on page 28 on the
AP’s and BHM’s Carrier Frequency pop-up and on the SM’s and BHS’s Frequency Scan
Selection List.
Table 12 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. DFS does not apply to 4.9 GHz.

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
period, and the module moves to its 1st alternate carrier frequency. The AP/BHM continues this
behavior through its 2nd alternate frequency if needed and then waits until the first frequency
ends the 30 minute non-occupancy period. While operating, if the AP/BHM detects a weather
radar signature it marks the current carrier frequency for a 30 minute non-occupancy period and
moves to check the next-in-line carrier frequency.
An SM/BHS does not begin transmission until it detects a beacon from an AP/BHM. If APs/BHMs
are not transmitting, SMs/BHSs will be silent.
The FCC and IC require DFS only on APs/BHMs. Europe applies the ETSI specification to both
APs/BHMs and SMs/BHSs, while Brazil applies it only to AP/BHMs. In the ETSI case, when an
SM/BHS boots, it scans to find a Canopy beacon from a AP/BHM. If an AP/BHM is found, the
SM/BHS performs a channel availability check on that frequency for 1 minute, monitoring for the
radar signature, without transmitting. A DFS decision is made based on the following:
• If no radar pulse is detected during this 1 minute, the SM/BHS proceeds through
normal steps to register to an AP/BHM.
• If the SM/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 with DFS has seen a radar signature on a frequency and locked out that
frequency, it may connect to a different AP if color codes, AP transmitting frequencies, and SM
scanned frequencies support that connection.
BHSs would not be expected to connect to a different BHM, as backhaul links should be
configured using color codes and authentication to ensure a BHS only connects with its intended
BHM.
To simplify operation and ensure compliance, an SM/BHS takes on the DFS type of the AP/BHM
to which it registers. 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.
• Normal Transmit
• Radar Detected Stop Transmitting for n minutes, where n counts down
from 30 to 1.
• Idle, only for SM/BHS, indicates module is scanning, but has not detected a
beacon from an AP/BHM. Once it detects beacon, the SM/BHS begins a Channel
Availability Check on that frequency.
4.4.2 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 26 on page 41.
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 26: Region Code on AP “Configuration => General” page
An SM/BHS has both a configurable Region Code and, once it registers to an AP or BHM, an
active Regional Code. After an SM/BHS registers to an AP/BHM, it uses the region code of the
AP/BHM to determine its DFS behavior and displays the AP/BHM’s region code on its Home =>
General Status page, as shown in Figure 28.
The two Region Codes on an SM/BHS should be the same in normal operation. However, they
will not be the same if, for example, an SM configured with a Region Code of “None” has
registered to an AP with a Region Code of Europe as shown in Figure 27 and Figure 28.

Figure 27: Configured Region Code on SM Configuration => General page
Figure 28: Active Region Code on SM Home => General Status page
The AP or BHM always operates under its manually configured Region Code (the one on the
Configuration => General page), and so does not show a Region Code on its Home => General
Status page.
Under normal operations, APs and BHMs operating with DFS (see Table 12) 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 12) 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 12), 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 context-
sensitive 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
Availability Check will be performed on the 1st alternate frequency before it is then used for
transmission. If radar is detected on the 1st 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/BHM must be included in the SM/BHS’s
Frequency Scan List, or the SMs/BHS 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 an operator may want to configure an SM to only register on certain frequencies to drive
a known SM to AP mapping. Another example would be an operator who configures 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 a unit reset to factory defaults is 17 dB.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide
Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 44 of 64
• The range is 0 to 35 dB.
• 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 17 dB.
• The antenna sold with the connectorized 4.9 GHz AP has a gain of 18 dB and cable
loss of approximately 1 dB, giving a Net Antenna Gain of 17 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.
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
Parameters for High Priority/DiffServ, NAT, DHCP, VLAN, MIR, and CIR are configured the same
as they are in standard Canopy. The operator may (or may not) want to take advantage of the
higher possible MIR to provide greater bandwidth to a given SM.
4.7 FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION
PMP 400/430 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 PTP 200 BH & PMP 430
AP/SM)
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 operator.
PMP 430 Series networks use a default cyclic prefix of 1/4 that is configurable by the operator to
1/8. The Cyclic Prefix is set on the Configuration => Radio page on the AP. Changing the default
from 1/4 to 1/8 can increase throughput by ~2 Mbps (assuming 75% duty cycle) in installations
with low multipath conditions. It is recommended to test 1/8 cyclic prefix to determine actual
performance based on RF conditions.
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 for
backhaul operations 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.
• 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 a unit usually involves height, electricity, and exposure to RF
(Radio Frequency) energy. To avoid personal injury, follow applicable
national and local safety regulations along with industry best practices.
Also follow the specific guidelines in this document, including Exposure
Separation Distances in section 6.3 on page 60.
5.1 INSTALLING AN AP WITH CONNECTORIZED ANTENNA
This section addresses installation aspects specific to the PMP 400/430 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 - document #68P81089E50-A)
These procedures are specific to the case of as AP purchased as a kit consisting of a
connectorized antenna and a connectorized radio. They are also generally applicable to
connectorized APs, SMs, or BHs when 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 four phases:
1. Configuring the AP at an operator's facility or at the installation site using the
information and settings defined previously in Planning (Section 3) and Configuring
(Section 4).
2. Assembling the AP (radio and antenna and brackets) and physically installing it using
Procedure 2 for 5.8 and 5.4 GHz APs or Procedure 3 for 4.9 GHz APs, along with
physically installing a CMMmicro (for PMP 54400 AP only) or CMM4 (for either PMP
58430, 54400 or PMP 49400).
3. Cabling the AP to the CMMmicro (for PMP 54400 AP only) or CMM4 (for either PMP
58430, 54400 or PMP 49400), 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 in the field.
Local practices and choices of installation options will dictate the actual processes. For example,
variations on these generalized procedures can be used to install on a building or install multiple
APs on a pipe mount before hoisting up a tower for final attachment.

Procedure 2: Assembling a 5.8 or 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 with
waterproof wrap.

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 (which is uniformly non-conducting) on all
connections and in all RJ-45 Ethernet connectors. 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.
3. Use a 600SS 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.
4. A pole mount kit is available for mounting the 600SS to the tower or mast.
The mount includes a termination point for the ground strap from the
600SSC.
5. Run a 10 AWG ground strap from the ground lug on the AP (see Figure 29)
to known good ground (Protective Earth - PE) to complete the grounding
and protection of the AP. The termination point on the 600SS pole mount kit
may be used for this.
Figure 29: Ground lug highlighted on AP
The PMP 400/430 AP and PTP 200 Series BH have metal-to-metal contact from the tower or
support structure, through the antenna, through the coax cable, to the radio. Installing surge
suppression at the AP is strongly recommended to provide the best protection from near lightning
hits.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide
Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 53 of 64
Install a 600SS surge suppressor within 3 ft (~1 m) of an AP or BH. A pole mount kit for the
600SS is shown in Figure 15 to facilitate installation of the 600SS by the AP or BH.
Up to four 600SS surge suppressors may be mounted in series on an Ethernet link without
degrading the link. The equivalent of a 600SS is built into each of the 8 ports on a CMM4 and
counts as one of the four. The CMMmicro uses a different protection scheme and does not have
the equivalent of a 600SS on each port.
As an example, a typical installation might have properly-grounded 600SS units within 3 ft of each
AP and additional properly-grounded 600SS units on each Ethernet cable mounted outside at the
point of cable entry to a telecommunications hut that contains the CMM4.
5.2 INSTALLING AN SM OR BH WITH AN INTEGRATED ANTENNA
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 for the PMP 54400 and 49400 SM and a SMMB1 mounting
bracket for the PMP 58430 SM. 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 (which is uniformly non-conducting) on all connections and in all RJ-45
Ethernet connectors. 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.

PMP 400/430 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide
Supplement
Issue 4 0 – DRAFT 6 November 2009 Page 54 of 64
Figure 31: Dielectric Grease - Insert Ethernet Cable
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 or BH for additional
protection. In addition, a 600SS 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.
In all cases where Ethernet cables penetrate a building, home, or telecommunications hut, mount
a properly-grounded 600SS outside at the point of Ethernet cable building entry to protect
persons and property in the building.
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 alignment.
The Receive Power Level 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. The displayed Receive Power Level is not designed to be highly accurate
over time. The displayed Receive Power Level will vary with board-level temperature and may
vary from module to module even if the actual received power is not varying. Know the limitations
and use caution and judgment for any other use of Receive Power Level. Caution is advised
when using Receive Power Level for 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.

For compliant operation in the 5.4 GHz band, the Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power from the
integrated antenna or connectorized anteanna shall not exceed 27 dBm (0.5 W).
The operator is responsible for enabling the DFS feature on any Canopy 5.4 GHz radio by setting
the Region Code to “Brazil”, including after the module is reset to factory defaults.
Important Note: This equipment operates as a secondary application, so it has no rights against
harmful interference, even if generated by similar equipment, and cannot cause harmful
interference on systems operating as primary applications.
6.2.10 Labeling and Disclosure Table for China
The People’s Republic of China requires that Motorola’s products comply with China
Management Methods (CMM) environmental regulations. (China Management Methods refers to
the regulation Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products.)
Two items are used to demonstrate compliance; the label and the disclosure table.
The label is placed in a customer visible position on the product.
• Logo 1 means that the product contains no substances in excess of the maximum
concentration value for materials identified in the China Management Methods
regulation.
• Logo 2 means that the product may contain substances in excess of the maximum
concentration value for materials identified in the China Management Methods
regulation, and has an Environmental Friendly Use Period (EFUP) in years, fifty
years in the example shown.
Logo 1
Logo 2
The Environmental Friendly Use Period (EFUP) is the period (in years) during which the Toxic
and Hazardous Substances (T&HS) contained in the Electronic Information Product (EIP) will not
leak or mutate causing environmental pollution or bodily injury from the use of the EIP. The EFUP
indicated by the Logo 2 label applies to a product and all its parts. Certain field-replaceable parts,
such as battery modules, can have a different EFUP and are marked separately.
The Disclosure Table (see Table 14) is intended only to communicate compliance with China
requirements; it is not intended to communicate compliance with EU RoHS or any other
environmental requirements.

6.3 EXPOSURE SEPARATION DISTANCES
To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install Canopy radios so as to provide and maintain
the minimum separation distances from all persons shown in Table 15.
Table 15: Exposure Separation Distances
Module Type Separation Distance from Persons
PMP 400/430 AP or SM or PTP 200 BH At least 20 cm (approx 8 in)
Canopy Module (for comparison) At least 20 cm (approx 8 in)
Section 6.3.1 and Table 16 give details and discussion of the associated calculations.
6.3.1 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 Error! Hyperlink reference not valid..
• 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/m2 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:
S=P⋅G
4
π
d2
where
S = power density in W/m2
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
Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields
d=P⋅G

π
S
Table 16 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.
