1 About This User Guide Cable measuring card: A cable measuring card must NEVER be used at the ODU end connected to power from the PIDU Plus. It must only be used at the bottom of the mast with a multimeter. This is because the PIDU Plus voltage exceeds the limit allowed in some countries for safe handling in wet conditions and therefore may create a safety hazard. Alternative DC supplies: When using alternative DC supplies (via the PIDU Plus DC in terminals as described in Section 2.

PAGE 36
2 Product Description 2.2 Typical Deployment The PTP 500 Series Bridge consists of an identical pair of units deployed one at each end of the link. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time Division Duplex (TDD). One unit is deployed as a master and the other as a slave. The master unit takes responsibility for controlling the link in both directions. The PTP 500 Series Bridge is aimed at a wide range of applications.
PAGE 37
2 Product Description 2.3 Frequency Variants The PTP 500 Series Bridge has been developed to operate within license exempt frequency bands. The frequency variants are listed in Table 5.
PAGE 38
2 Product Description 2.6 Outdoor Unit (ODU) The ODU is a self-contained unit. It houses both radio and networking electronics. The ODU for the PTP 500 Series Bridge should only be deployed using the supplied PIDU Plus PTP 300/500/600 Series. Figure 2 shows an installation example of a PTP 500 Series ODU.
PAGE 39
2 Product Description 2.7 PIDU Plus PTP 300/500/600 Series The PIDU Plus PTP 300/500/600 Series (Figure 3) is used to generate the ODU supply voltage from the mains supply (or from an external DC source) and inject this supply voltage into the 100BaseT Ethernet connection to the ODU. Connection uses a CAT5e cable using standard RJ45 wiring. CAUTION Care should be taken not to connect equipment other than an ODU or LPU for the PTP 500 Series Bridge to a PIDU Plus ODU port, as equipment damage may occur.
PAGE 40
2 Product Description 2.7.2 ODU, LAN and Recovery At the bottom of the PIDU Plus is an entry point for the PIDU Plus to ODU cable, the 100BaseT Ethernet network port and the Recovery switch. Figure 4 – PIDU Plus Recovery Switch Location The Recovery switch is used to recover the unit from configuration errors or software image corruption. To put an ODU into recovery mode, the Recovery switch should be pressed, then the power applied.
PAGE 41
2 Product Description 2.7.5 Mains Connection The input supply range for the PIDU Plus is 90V-264V AC, 47-63Hz. Mains connection to the PIDU Plus is made using a standard “figure of eight” mains lead as shown in Figure 6. Figure 5 – PIDU Plus Power Input 2.

PAGE 43
2 Product Description 2.9 Remote LEDs and Recovery Switch The PIDU Plus provides a facility to connect remote LEDs and Recovery switch allowing the PIDU Plus to be mounted inside an enclosure. At the left hand end of the PIDU Plus under the ODU connection cover can be found a PCB header and three jumpers. Jumpers J906 and J907 should be removed and connection to the remote LEDs and Recovery switch made to J908 as shown in Figure 9. Figure 9 - Remote LED and Recovery Switch Wiring 2.
PAGE 44
2 Product Description The cable used to connect the PIDU Plus to the users Network Equipment can be any standard CAT5e Cable. The PIDU Plus to ODU and the PIDU Plus to Network Equipment cables may be unscreened (UTP) or screened (STP). However, unscreened cables reduce the system’s ability to cope with nearby lightning strikes. If lightning activity is common in the area of deployment, the use of screened cable is highly recommended. See Section 5 “Lightning Protection”.
PAGE 45
2 Product Description 2.12 Mounting Brackets The ODU is supplied with a bracket for mounting it to a pole of 50mm (2”) to 75mm (3”) in diameter. For more details on mounting, see Section 6 “Installation”. The bracket allows for adjustment in both azimuth and elevation. The bracket may be split to allow the pole mount section of the bracket to be mounted to the pole first. This allows the installer to take the weight of the unit and secure it, one handed, with a single mounting bolt.

3 Product Features 3 Product Features This section provides descriptions of the main features of PTP 500 product architecture. The following topics are described in this section: 3.1 • 3.1 Ethernet Frames • 3.2 Management Function • 3.3 Configuration and Management • 3.4 Channel Bandwidth and Link Symmetry Control • 3.5 Non Line Of Sight (NLOS) and Line Of Sight (LOS) • 3.6 Upgradeable Software • 3.7 Networking Information • 3.8 Link Mode Optimization • 3.9 Telecoms Circuits • 3.
PAGE 47
3 Product Features 3.2 Management Function The management function of the PTP 500 Series Bridge is logically equivalent to a separate protocol stack with virtual point of attachment at the Ethernet interface. This is illustrated in Figure 10. Figure 10 – PTP 500 Series Bridge Layer Diagram Each unit in the link is manageable through an IP connection. Standard IP protocols are utilized for all management functions, for example, HP, SNMP, etc.
PAGE 48
3 Product Features 3.4 Channel Bandwidth and Link Symmetry Control The PTP 500 series provides configurable channel bandwidth in the radio link (5 MHz, 10 MHz and 15 MHz depending on the frequency band for the bandwidth choice), and configurable fixed and adaptive link symmetry. Fixed link symmetry supports: • 3:1 • 1:1 • 1:3 Channel bandwidth 5 MHz supports link symmetry 1:1 only. 3.
PAGE 49
3 Product Features 3.8 Link Mode Optimization Link Mode Optimization allows the PTP 500 link to be optimized according to the type of traffic that will be bridged. The link supports two modes: IP mode and TDM mode. 3.8.1 IP Link Mode Optimization IP mode is optimized to provide the maximum possible link capacity. IP mode is an appropriate choice where applications in the bridged networks provide some measure of reliable transmission, and where very low latency is not critical.
PAGE 50
3 Product Features 3.9 Telecoms Circuits The PTP 500 link provides native support for one E1 link, or one T1 link. The link relays unstructured E1 or T1 data and provides accurate timing transfer. 3.9.1 Lowest Telecoms Modulation Mode In narrow channel bandwidth and lower modulation modes, the link may have insufficient capacity to relay the E1/T1 payload; in this case, the wireless link continues to carries timing information in order to maintain accurate clock synchronization.
PAGE 51
3 Product Features 3.9.3 Further Reading Installation details are provided in Section 11 “E1/T1 Installation Guide”. The E1 or T1 circuit is configured using the web pages described in Section 7.5.5 “Telecoms Configuration” and 7.7.3.1 “Telecoms Interface”. 3.10 Radar Avoidance Radar Avoidance requires that equipment used in the region: • Detects interference from other systems and avoids co-channel operation with these systems, notably radar systems.
PAGE 52
4 Planning Considerations 4 Planning Considerations This section provides information to help the user to plan a PTP 500 link. Each frequency variant has specific licensing restrictions that affect frequency range, channel bandwidth, maximum power and radar avoidance. Link planning must take account of obstructions, site selection, path loss and wind loading. The following topics are described in this section: • 4.1 Spectrum Planning • 4.2 Licenses and Region Codes • 4.
PAGE 53
4 Planning Considerations • Fixed Frequency: This method allows the installer to allocate fixed transmit and receive frequencies on the units. 4.1.2 Regions With Mandatory Radar Detection In regions that mandate DFS (Radar Detection), the frequency must always be symmetrical (transmit and receive on the same frequency).
PAGE 54
4 Planning Considerations 4.3 Radar Avoidance and Bandwidth Operation Where regulatory restrictions apply to certain channels these channels are barred. RTTT avoidance may be necessary in all channel bandwidths. The number of channels barred is dependant on the channel raster selected. For example see the effect of the UK RTTT channel restrictions in the 15 MHz bandwidth (Figure 11), where blocks in red indicate channels that are barred.
PAGE 55
4 Planning Considerations 4.4 Variable Channel Bandwidth Operation Channel bandwidths of 5, 10 and 15 MHz are supported for the PTP 500 product. Configuration of the variable bandwidth operation must be symmetric, that is, the Transmit and receive channels must use identical Channel Bandwidths. For details of the spectrum settings that are available to each frequency variant, refer to: 4.5 • Section 16.2.6 PTP 54500 Available Spectrum Settings • Section 16.3.
PAGE 56
4 Planning Considerations 4.5.3 PTP LINKPlanner Link planning enables a link of known quality to be installed. This involves the acquisition of path profile data (using Motorola’s free LINKPlanner utility). The LINKPlanner predicts data rates and reliability over the path. It allows the user to try different antenna heights and RF power settings. When the link is installed, the mean path loss can be checked to confirm that the predicted data rate and link reliability is achievable.
PAGE 57
4 Planning Considerations 4.6 Site Selection Criteria The following are guidelines for selecting the installation location of the ODU and PIDU Plus for a PTP 500 Series Bridge. 4.6.
PAGE 58
4 Planning Considerations 2 Force (in pounds) = 0.0042 . A . v Where A is the surface area in square feet and v is the wind speed in miles per hour. The lateral force produced by a single PTP 500 Series bridge (integrated or connectorized model) at different wind speeds is shown in Table 6 and Table 7. Table 6 - Lateral Force – Imperial Largest Surface Area (sq ft) Lateral Force (Pound) at wind speed (mph) 80 100 120 140 150 PTP 500 Series Bridge - Integrated 1.36 36.6 57.1 82.3 146.2 228.
PAGE 59
4 Planning Considerations 4.7.3 Wind Speed Statistics Installers are recommended to contact the national meteorological office for the country concerned to identify the likely wind speeds prevalent at the proposed location. This will enable the installer to estimate the total wind loading on the support structures. Examples of the sort of statistics that are available are: USA - Reported Fastest Single Wind Velocities for Selected U.S. Cities (Source: National Weather Service).
PAGE 60
4 Planning Considerations 4.8 Path Loss Considerations Path loss is the amount of attenuation the radio signal undergoes between the two ends of the link. 4.8.1 Calculating Path Loss The path loss is the sum of the attenuation of the path if there were no obstacles in the way (Free Space Path Loss), the attenuation caused by obstacles (Excess Path Loss) and a margin to allow for possible fading of the radio signal (Fade Margin).
PAGE 61
4 Planning Considerations For minimum error rates on TDM links, the maximum modulation mode should be limited to 64QAM 0.75. The values for (BPSK) are static receive sensitivity measurements. The other values are static receive sensitivity measurements with an AMOD threshold applied. The AMOD threshold applied is for a benign radio channel.

5 Lightning Protection 5 Lightning Protection This section provides instructions for protecting PTP 500 installations against lightning strike. The purpose of lightning protection is to protect structures, equipment and people against lightning by conducting the lightning current to ground via a separate preferential solid path. The following topics are described in this section: • 5.1 Lightning Protection Zones • 5.2 LPU Detailed Installation • 5.3 LPU Kit • 5.4 LPU Installation Wiring • 5.
PAGE 63
5 Lightning Protection Zones A and B are shown in Figure 12.
PAGE 64
5 Lightning Protection It may be possible to extend Zone B by installing a finial above the ODU ( Figure 13). Figure 13 – Using a Finial to Extend Zone B In Zone B, a direct lightning strike is unusual, but the un-attenuated electromagnetic field is still present. Equipment mounted in Zone B should be grounded using grounding wire of at least 10 AWG. This grounding wire should be connected to a grounding rod or the building grounding system before entry in to building.
PAGE 65
5 Lightning Protection 5.2 LPU Detailed Installation The Lightning protection Unit should be mounted at the building entry point and must be grounded (Figure 14).

6 Installation 6.5.1.
PAGE 78
6 Installation CAUTION Check that the crimp tool matches the RJ45 connector being used. Both ends of the ODU cable are terminated in the same way. The above procedure should be repeated for the PIDU Plus end of the cable when the cable routing process is complete. This assumes that the installation uses PTP LPUs. If not, then the PIDU Plus end of the cable does not require a Gland, but just the RJ45. NOTE The PIDU Plus end of the cable does not employ a cable gland.
PAGE 79
6 Installation 6.5.2 Making the Connections at the ODU Looking at the back of the unit with the cable entry at the bottom, the PIDU Plus connection is the first hole on the right (Figure 26) and is labeled “PIDU Plus +”.

6 Installation 6.5.10 Powering Up The PTP 500 Series Bridge is supplied as a pair of matched Master/Slave units. The Master unit can now be powered up and accessed using the default URL http://169.254.1.2/; the Slave unit can be accessed using http://169.254.1.1/. Prior to powering up the PTP 500 Series Bridge, a computer with web browsing capabilities should be configured with an IP address of 169.254.n.n and subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 where n is any value between 1 and 254 but excluding 1.1 or 1.2.
PAGE 89
6 Installation 6.6 Establishing a Radio Link The following is a description of the steps taken to establish a radio link between the two units forming the bridge and align the units for the best signal strength. 6.6.1 Aligning the PTP 500 Series Bridge ODUs The PTP 500 Series Bridge uses audible tones during installation to assist the installer with alignment. The installer should adjust the alignment of the ODU in both azimuth and elevation until highest pitch tone is achieved .
PAGE 90
6 Installation In each of the states detailed above, the unit should be aligned to give the highest pitch tone. It should be noted that if, when in the Synchronized or Registered state, the tone varies wildly, you may be suffering from interference or a fast fading link. Installing in this situation may not give a reliable link. The cause of the problem should be investigated.
PAGE 91
6 Installation • Ranging: The PTP 500 Series does not require the user to enter the link range. The Master unit typically takes less than 60 seconds to determine the length of the link being installed. The Master unit will remain in the Scanning state until the range of the link has been established. The Master unit will only move to the Synchronized state when the range of the link has been established.
PAGE 92
6 Installation 6.6.4 Adjust Power Settings The transmit power levels of the installed units must be adjusted to ensure they are not too high. Excessive power levels may cause saturation of the receivers or false radar detection (in radar enabled regions), leading to degradation of link performance and link failure. To adjust power levels, follow this procedure: 1. Consult the report generated by the LINKPlanner tool and note the Transmit power recommended levels. 2.
PAGE 93
6 Installation 6.6.5 Disarm on Completion When the alignment process is complete, the installer MUST REMEMBER TO DISARM BOTH UNITS in the link, as described in Section 7.7 “Installation Wizard”. This is necessary in order to: • Turn off the audible alignment aid (section 7.7.

If there are any problems with the Ethernet interface, this alarm will be asserted. This alarm will most likely be seen if the unit has no Ethernet cable plugged into its Ethernet socket. Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert. Telecoms Channel Status Indicates an alarm condition on the telecoms channel.
PAGE 99
7 Web Page Reference Install Status A non-OK value indicates that signaling was received with the wrong MAC address. Note that it is very unusual to detect this, because units with wrongly configured Target MAC Address will normally fail to establish a wireless link. However, rare circumstances may establish a partial wireless link and detect this situation. A non-OK value on start-up, or a change of value during operation, may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
PAGE 100
7 Web Page Reference Incompatible Master and Slave A non-zero value indicates that the master and slave ends of the wireless link are different hardware products, or have different software versions. Note that it is very unusual to detect this because incompatible units will normally fail to establish a wireless link. However, some combinations may establish a partial wireless link and detect this situation. Note that a nonzero value may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
