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 45 Mbps aggregate
(sum of up plus down when configured for 20MHz channel bandwidth) 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 8 on page 32.
The PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series radios use an OFDM physical layer with 10 MHz channels and
256 sub-carriers while the PMP 430 Series radios use an OFDM physical layer with configurable
channel bandwidth of 5, 10 or 20MHz. The PTP 230 Series radios use an OFDM physical layer
with configurable channel bandwidth of 10 or 20 MHz. A PMP 400 Series 5.4-GHz radio with
10MHz channels will interoperate with a PMP 430 Series 5.4-GHz radio configured with 10MHz
channel bandwidth and 1/4 cyclic prefix. However; 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 PMP 430/400 Series 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 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 23 of 77
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 14 shows examples of LOS, nLOS, and NLOS links.
Figure 14: 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 400/PTP 200 (5.4-GHz) and PMP 430/PTP 230 (5.4 & 5.8-GHz) Series
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 (4.9-GHz) 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
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 24 of 77
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 OFDM AP can
communicate to over 200 SMs, similar to a Canopy FSK AP.
The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is almost identical to Canopy’s FSK products, 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 200/230 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 5.4 and 5.8-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 200/230 Series radios, as
whitening is not a technology applicable to an OFDM signal.
2.4 POWER AND GROUNDING
PMP 430 Series APs and PTP 230 BHs use a nominal 56 VDC power system with power on pins
5 and 8 and return on pins 4 and 7. PMP 430 Series 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 430 Series 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 (see Figure 13) is strongly recommended to suppress over
voltages and over currents, such as those caused by near-miss lightning. APs and BHs provide a

3 Planning
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series systems use 10 MHz channel bandwidth configurable on 5 MHz
channel centers while the PMP 430 Series is configurable with a 5, 10 or 20 MHz channel
bandwidth and the PTP 230 Series is configurable with a 10 or 20 MHz channel bandwidth. When
a PMP 430 is configured with 5 MHz channel bandwidth, the radio is configurable on 2.5 MHz
center channels and is configurable on 5 MHz center channels when it is configured for either 10
or 20 MHz channel bandwidth.
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 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.
Available 5.8 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).

(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 10. 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
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 10. 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 430 and PTP 230 5.4 and 5.8-GHz series modules provide 45+ Mbps aggregate throughput
at distances of 1.2 miles (1.92 km) and 2.3 miles (3.68 km) respectively. PMP 400 and PTP 200
Series modules provide up to 21 Mbps aggregate throughput at distances of 1.4 miles (2.25 km)
in RF environments with clear line-of-sight and low background interference levels. Additional
performance details are shown in Table 8 on page 32. 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 200/230 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 (instantaneous and average) 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.
Release 10.2 added a configurable setting on the Tools => Spectrum Analyzer web page to
display either instantaneous or averaging for spectrum analyzer results for the PTP 100 BHs and
PMP 430 5.8-GHz Series. Release 10.3 added this enhancement for the PMP 400/430 5.4-GHz,
PTP 200 BHs and PMP 100 Series.
The PMP 430 and PTP 230 Series uses average detector rather than peak detector algorithm
which results in ~10 dBm lower readings than PMP 400 Series and FSK which use peak
detectors. For example, when measuring power from an OFDM AP transmitting on a given
channel the PMP 430 5.8-GHz OFDM SM might show a Receive Power Level of -60 dBm while
a PMP 100 5.7-GHz FSK SM spectrum analyzer shows a power level of -53 for that channel.
Figure 23: PMP 430 spectrum analysis compared to FSK
In addition, an PMP 430 SM measures power across 5, 10 or 20-MHz channels (PTP 230
measures power across 10 or 20-MHz channels) while an FSK SM measures power across 20-
MHz channels, so power measurements are not directly comparable between the two. For both
FSK and OFDM, the receiver’s channel bandwidth has been added to the display. This is
important to note as the width of the OFDM channel (5, 10 or 20MHz) affects the bandwidth data
of the spectrum analyzer sample.

Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 38 of 77
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.

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 with GPS synchronization. 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 PMP 100 FSK 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 400/430 and PTP 200/230 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

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

3.7.2 Frame Calculations and Configuration Settings
Interference between collocated Canopy systems can be avoided by following two practices:
3. Use a CMM with GPS synchronization. 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

Control Slots for each system that produce “Rec SEQ Start” values that are within

Procedure 1: Finding collocation values using Frame Calculators
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.
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.
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.
Configure the OFDM modules using the resulting OFDM values, and the FSK
modules using the resulting FSK values.
The frame calculator page (FSK and OFDM) has been simplified with Release 10.3 to
show only information pertinent to co-location. It will now display AP TX end time and
AP RX start time which allows the operator to more easily calculate co-location duty
cycles.

4 Configuring
Most PMP 400/430 Series and PTP 200/230 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 200/230 Series products offer three levels or speeds of operation – 1X,
2X, and 3X. 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 8 on page 32.
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/BHS’s Configuration => General page as shown in Figure 24. This
parameter locks down the uplink or 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 or 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 24: 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 or 2X 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
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.

Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 42 of 77
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)

For the PMP 400 5.4-GHz OFDM 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.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 43 of 77
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.
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 200/230 Series modules display the typical Canopy “Receive Power
Level” as shown in Figure 25. 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%. The default as shown in Figure 26 is 75%.
In order for U.S. model 5.4 GHz PTP Series radios to meet FCC DFS compliance, the Downlink
Data has been limited to 10-65% at the Backhaul Master. For all other regions of 5.4 GHz PTP
230 Series radios and all regions of 5.8 GHz PTP radios, the Downlink Data range remains 10-
90%.
The Range parameter on the AP’s Configuration => General page can be set in 1-mile
increments between 1 and 30 miles for PMP 430 5 and 10MHz channel bandwidth and between
1 and 24 miles for PMP 430 20MHz channel bandwidth. The default as shown in Figure 26 is 2
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.
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 26: 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
13. 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.

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.
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 39 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 39.
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/BHM, 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 200/230 Series AP, SM, and BH do not offer “Whitening”, as the OFDM technology obviates
the need for it.
Figure 27: DFS Status on AP "Home => DFS Status" page.
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, India, Russia,
Indonesia 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 5.4-GHz 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 10 on page
35 on the AP’s and BHM’s Carrier Frequency pop-up and on the SM’s and BHS’s Frequency
Scan Selection List.

1. In all cases set the Region Code to the region you are in and the equipment will
provide DFS consistent with that region’s regulations. For countries or regions
not listed, use a Region Code that provides DFS functionality and channels
consistent with your country’s regulatory requirements.
2. In some countries and regions, 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz is “notched” out to meet
requirements to not transmit in weather radar frequencies.
3. FCC/IC indicates compliance with FCC Report and Order 03-287 and Industry
Canada requirements.
4. ETSI DFS indicates compliance with ETSI EN 301 893 v1.4.1
5. ETSI DFS indicates compliance with ETSI EN 302 502 v1.2.1
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
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
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 48 of 77
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 28 on page 50.
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
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 49 of 77
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.

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 30.
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 29 and Figure 30.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 51 of 77
Figure 29: Configured Region Code on SM Configuration => General page
Figure 30: 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 14) 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 14) 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
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 52 of 77
then invokes DFS (based on the region code and frequency band as shown in Table 14), 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 EXTERNAL 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 an External Gain field to support this.
Key points about the External Gain field include:
External Gain is defined as the gain of the antenna minus the loss in the coaxial cable
and connectors.
The External Gain is set on the Configuration => Radio page of each module (AP, SM,
BHM, or BHS)
The default on a 5.4-GHz SM or a unit reset to factory defaults is 17 dB.
The default on a 5.8-GHz SM or a unit reset to factory default is 17 dB
The range is 0 to 35 dB.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 53 of 77
A 5.4-GHz SM or BH with an integrated antenna has an External Gain of 17 dB.
The antenna sold with the connectorized 5.4 or 5.8 GHz AP has a gain of 18 dB and
cable loss of approximately 1 dB, giving an External Gain of 17 dB.
A 4.9 GHz SM or BH with an integrated antenna has an External 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 an External Gain of 17 dB.
Any radio using DFS will use the External 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 400/430 and PTP 230 Series system takes into account
the External Gain so as not to exceed national or regional EIRP limits.
Procedure for setting the External 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 External Gain on the Configuration =>
Radio page set to the factory default of 17 dB.
If using another antenna, set the External Gain to the gain of the antenna minus the loss
in coaxial cable and connectors.
IMPORTANT!
Ensure the External 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 200/230 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 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 54 of 77
PMP 400 Series networks use a cyclic prefix of 1/4 that is not configurable by the operator.
PMP 430 and PTP 230 Series networks use a default cyclic prefix of 1/4 that is configurable by
the operator to 1/8 or 1/16. 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 PMP 430 networks) in installations with low multipath conditions. It is recommended
to test 1/8 or 1/16 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 or 1/16 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
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.
During installation use Link Tests to confirm link quality per standard installation and
alignment procedures.
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 71.
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). The R56 manual is available in either CD soft copy (part no. 9880384V83) or three-
ring bound color hard copy (6881089E50). Both may be purchased from Motorola Customer Care
Services (1-800-814-0601).
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:
5. 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).
6. 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, 54430, 54400 or PMP 49400).
7. Cabling the AP to the CMMmicro (for PMP 54400 AP only) or CMM4 (for either PMP
58430, 54430, 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.
8. 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.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 56 of 77
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.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 57 of 77
6. Use standard work and
safety practices for
tower climbing. Connect
the upper bracket to a
pole, mounting fixture,
or the tower.
7. Hang the antenna assembly
on the upper bracket.
8. Connect the lower bracket
to the pole or tower using
the quick-connect system
provided
9. The quick-connect system allows
easy attachment, detachment, and
adjustment without any lose parts.

10. Adjust down tilt per calculations
done during Planning. Confirm
down tilt after the radio is
operational using SMs in the field at
selected test locations.
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. Connect coax N-connector
5. Use standard work and
safety practices for tower
climbing, and connect the
upper assembly to a pole,
mounting fixture, or the
tower.

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
600SS.
5. Run a 10 AWG ground strap from the ground lug on the AP (see Figure 31)
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 31: 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 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 62 of 77
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 16 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 Motorola PMP Solutions 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 58430/54430 SM and PTP 58230/54230 BH. 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.
Figure 32: Dielectric Grease – Apply to RJ45 connector
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement
Issue 6.0 May 2011 Page 63 of 77
Figure 33: 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 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series modules do not display a jitter value. Use Receive 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 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series modules don’t calculate a jitter.

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.
PMP 400/430 and PTP 200/230 Series Motorola PMP Solutions User Guide Supplement

Health Canada limits for the general population. See Safety Code 6 on the Health
Canada web site at http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/.
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:
SP G
4d2
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

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.
