Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
The country of operation (and thus the supported regulatory bands) can be changed by
generating a new license key at the License Key Generator page of the Cambium web-site, and
entering the new license key using the Installation Wizard.
Caution
To avoid possible enforcement action by the country regulator, always operate links in
accordance with local regulations.
Attention
Pour éviter une éventuelle sanction par le régulateur du pays, utiliser toujours nos
liaisons radiofréquences conformément à la réglementation locale.

PTP networks
Using Dynamic Spectrum Optimization
The Dynamic Spectrum Optimization (DSO) feature allows a PTP 700 unit to select wireless
channels for a lower level of radio frequency (RF) interference. This approach is appropriate
where the network consists of a small number of PTP links, or where the RF interference is
predominantly from equipment belonging to other operators.
Using frequency planning
Networks will benefit from the use of fixed channel allocations if (a) the network consists of
multiple PTP links, and (b) RF interference predominantly arises from equipment in the same
network.
Frequency planning is the exercise of assigning operating channels to PTP units so as to
minimize RF interference between links. Frequency planning must consider interference from
any PTP unit to any other PTP unit in the network. Low levels of interference normally allow for
stable operation and high link capacity.
