PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series 2.1.1 Canopy User Guide Supplement NLOS and nLOS Benefits and Limitations The use of OFDM technology will help in many cases of NLOS (Non Line-of-Sight) and nLOS near Line-of-Sight (nLOS) links. LOS (Line-of-Sight ) means the installer can see the AP from the SM and the first Fresnel zone is clear. An example of nLOS is when the installer can see the AP from the SM, but a portion of the first Fresnel is blocked.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series 2.3 Canopy User Guide Supplement 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.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series 2.6 Canopy User Guide Supplement ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMS Standard Canopy administration systems are used to support the PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series products, with the only requirement being that the administration systems must be at the appropriate release level: 2.7 • Prizm 3.1 is the element management system for PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series products. In addition to managing and monitoring Canopy modules, Prizm 3.1 can be used to update them. • CNUT 3.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series 2.7.5 Canopy User Guide Supplement System technical details • Standard Canopy temperature range of -40° C to +55° C • Latency of 5-7 msec roundtrip • Products available with either DES or AES encryption Table 2 shows performance details for the PMP 54400, PTP 54200, and PMP 49400 systems, with the standard Canopy PMP 54200 5.4 GHz FSK details shown for comparison. Table 2: Performance Details Product PMP 54400 and PTP 54200 (5.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 3 Planning PMP 400 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 modulation, supports somewhat different channel planning than for standard Canopy.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement The best practice for channel planning for APs is to conduct extensive site RF surveys before choosing channels. For those with the equipment and expertise, use commercial and industrial spectrum analysis equipment. The PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series APs and SMs do not provide a spectrum analyzer in the first release (planned for a subsequent release), but standard 5.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement • 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.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement When collocating only Canopy OFDM APs together, or collocating only Canopy hardwarescheduled 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.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 4 Configuring Most Canopy Series 400 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 and PTP 200 Series products offer three levels or speeds of operation – 1X, 2X, and 3X - instead of the two levels offered by standard Canopy.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement Figure 5: 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 • Some aiming and alignment efforts, although usually aiming and alignment and link optimization work well with 3X operation allowed.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 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).
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement The default Range, set on the AP’s “Configuration => General” page, is 5 miles, but can be set in 1 mile increments between 1 and 10 miles. The BHM performs its own ranging and so no range need be set for it. If the Range is set to greater than 5 miles, then the Downlink Data % can be a maximum of 85%, else some close-in SMs won’t register due to details of the Canopy scheduler.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 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.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 5.4 GHz 1 Region Code AP SM Center Channel 2 Frequencies Available (MHz) equipment will provide DFS consistent with that regions’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.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series 4.4.2 Canopy User Guide Supplement • Normal Transmit • Radar Detected Stop Transmitting for n minutes, where n counts down from 30 to 1. • Idle, only for SM or BHS, indicates module is scanning, but has not detected a beacon from an AP or BHM. Once it detects beacon, the SM or BHS begins a Channel Availability Check on that frequency.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement Figure 6: Region Code on AP “Configuration => General” page An SM or BHS has both a configurable Region Code and, once it registers to an AP or BHM, an active Region Code. After an SM/BHS registers to an AP/BHM, it uses the Region of the AP/BHM to determine its DFS behavior and displays the AP’s or BHM’s Region Code on its Home => General Status page, as shown in Figure 8.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement Figure 7: Configured Region Code on SM Configuration => General page Figure 8: 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.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 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 6), the Radio Frequency Carriers and External Antenna Gain parameters will be displayed. Set them as described below, “Save Changes”, and “Reboot” again.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement • 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 16 dB. • The antenna sold with the connectorized 4.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series • Canopy User Guide Supplement 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.
PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 5 Installation WARNING! Installing an AP or a BH usually involves height and electricity and exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy.

PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series 6.3.1 Canopy User Guide Supplement 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 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 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.
