User's Guide Part 1

Chapter 3: System planning
This chapter provides information to help the user to plan a PTP 700 link.
The following topics are described in this chapter:
• Typical deployment on page 3-2 contains diagrams illustrating typical PTP 700 site
deployments.
• Site planning on page 3-11 describes factors to be considered when planning the proposed
link end sites, including grounding, lightning protection and equipment location.
• Radio spectrum planning on page 3-21 describes how to plan PTP 700 links to conform to
the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation.
• Link planning on page 3-25 describes factors to be taken into account when planning links,
such as range, path loss and throughput.
• Planning for connectorized units on page 3-29 describes factors to be taken into account
when planning to use connectorized ODUs with external antennas in PTP 700 links.
• Configuration options for TDD synchronization on page 3-31 describes the different
configuration options that may be used for implementing TDD synchronization in the PTP
700 Series.
• Data network planning on page 3-35 describes factors to be considered when planning PTP
700 data networks.
• TDM network planning on page 3-48 describes factors to be considered when planning PTP
700 TDM networks.
• Network management planning on page 3-49 describes how to plan for PTP 700 links to be
managed remotely using SNMP.
• Security planning on page 3-51 describes how to plan for PTP 700 links to operate in secure
mode.
• System threshold, output power and link loss on page 3-60 contains tables that specify the
system threshold (dBm), output power (dBm) and maximum link loss (dB) per channel
bandwidth and modulation mode.
• Data throughput capacity tables on page 3-71 contains tables and graphs to support
calculation of the data rate capacity that can be provided by PTP 700 configurations.
