Canopy System User Guide Network Components Access Point Cluster An AP cluster covers as much as 360°. The FSK (PMP 100 or PMP 400) AP cluster consists of two to six APs that together provide broadband connectivity to 1,200 or fewer subscribers. Each of these APs transmits and receives in a 60° sector. The PMP 400 Series (OFDM) AP cluster consists of two to four APs that provide broadband connectivity to 800 or fewer subscribers. Each of these APs transmits and receives in a 90° sector.
Network Components Exploring the Scope of Solutions The CSM 130 or CSM 09130 provides the same configurability and services as the CSM 110 or CSM 120. However, in a link with a CAP 130 or CAP 09130, the CSM 130 or CSM 09130 provides uncapped sustained 2X throughput. See 2X Operation on Page 89. A CSM 130 or CSM 09130 can communicate with only a CAP 130 or CAP 09130, respectively. A PMP 100 Series (FSK SM) can communicate with either a CAP 120 or CAP 130.
Canopy System User Guide Network Components Figure 5: Examples of antennas for 900-MHz modules These 900-MHz modules run the same software and provide the same parameters, network features, and connections as all other APs and SMs.
Network Components Exploring the Scope of Solutions Unlike the antennas in other FSK Cambium radios, the integrated antenna in the 900-MHz radio is horizontally polarized to reduce exposure to noise from vertically polarized signals, which predominate in this band. Connectorized for External Antenna The enclosure of the 900-MHz connectorized AP and SM includes a cable and N-type connector to which an external antenna can attach.
Canopy System User Guide Network Components PTP 200 Series Bridges The PTP 200 Series bridges securely transport data, voice, and video in both near-line-of-sight (nLOS) and line-of-sight (LOS) deployments at Ethernet data rates up to 21 Mbps. In the 4.9-GHz range, the public safety area of the spectrum, these bridges are a point-to-point solution for emergency services. In 5.4 GHz, they are a solution for enterprises.

Canopy System User Guide Network Components • Effective system design: With the smallest Compact Modem Unit (CMU) in the industry, the small form factor design helps remove customer dependency on rack space. • Capacity as you grow throughput: Flexible stepping options allow operators to purchase a standard 10 Mbps factory set cap and then increase capacity as needed based on throughput demands ensuring exceptional scalability.
Network Components Exploring the Scope of Solutions The demands to support more multimedia communications, mobility, and deliver higher throughputs for bandwidth intensive applications is growing exponentially. Now operators can leverage their legacy investment while taking advantage of the cost efficiencies and performance benefits of packet-based Ethernet technology.
Canopy System User Guide Network Components Cluster Management Module-2 (Part 1008CK-2) The Cluster Management Module-2 (CMM2) provides power, GPS timing from an antenna that is included, and networking connections for an AP cluster. The CMM2 can also connect to a BH, in which case the CMM2 is the central point of connectivity for the entire site. The CMM2 can connect as many as eight co-located modules—APs, BHMs, BHSs—and an Ethernet feed.
Network Components Exploring the Scope of Solutions The CMMmicro contains an 8-port managed switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) on each port and connects any combination of APs, BHMs, BHSs, or Ethernet feed. The Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP networks PoE differs from IEEE Standard 803.3af PoE, and the two should not be intermixed.
Canopy System User Guide Network Components CMM4 (Part 1090CK, 1091AA) The Cluster Management Module 4 (CMM4) provides power, GPS timing from an antenna that is included, and networking connections for an AP cluster, Backhauls, and Ethernet terrestrial feeds in a variety of configurations.
Network Components Exploring the Scope of Solutions A CMM4 is pictured in Figure 13, and Figure 14.. Figure 13: CMM4 enclosure Figure 14: CMM4 Optional Ethernet Switch in CMM4 - (Part 1090CK, 1091AA) The Ethernet switch is a separate device enclosed within the CMM4 enclosure and connected to the CMM4 cluster controller via either the Gigabit port or one of the standard Ethernet ports. The switch may be accessed in any of three ways: • through the administration console via RS-232 serial port.

Network Components Exploring the Scope of Solutions Passive Reflector Dish Assembly A 27RD Passive Reflector Dish on both ends of a BH link extends the distance range of the link and provides a narrower beam width, which can reduce both received and transmitted interference. A 27RD on an SM extends the distance range in some bands (notably 5.7-GHz and 2.4-GHz) and can reduce both received and transmitted interference in all bands. The module support tube provides the proper offset focus angle.
Canopy System User Guide Network Components Module Support Brackets The SMMB1 support bracket facilitates mounting the SM to various surfaces of a structure and has slots through which chimney straps can be inserted. An SMMB1 is pictured in Figure 21. The SMMB1 is for use with an SM or an SM with a LENS. It is not for use with PMP 400 Series (OFDM) SMs or 900-MHz integrated or connectorized SMs, due to their greater weight and wind loading.

Canopy System User Guide Prizm • Template-Based Configuration: With Wireless Manager's user-defined templates you can accelerate the process for the configuration of the devices you add to your network resulting in quicker and easier deployments. The template-based functionality provides an automated way to configure large numbers of network devices with just a few mouse clicks, and can be scheduled to occur at any time via Wireless Manager's Task Scheduler.
Prizm Exploring the Scope of Solutions For a generic element, Prizm • auto discovers the element as only a generic network element. • includes the element in the network tree. • shows general information. • shows events and alerts. • charts port activity. For passive elements (such as CMM2 or a non-manageable switch or hub), Prizm allows you to enter into the network tree a folder/group with name, asset/owner information, and descriptive information.
Canopy System User Guide Prizm One difference between a service plan (or VLAN profile) and a configuration template that has the identical set of attributes is that the former is a long-term association whereas the latter is a onetime push to the element. When a service plan or VLAN profile is modified, the change is automatically applied to all elements that have the association.

Canopy System User Guide Chapter 6: Differentiating Among Components Interpreting Model Number The model number of a module typically represents • the model number, which may indicate o radio frequency band range. o link distance range. o whether the module is a CAP/CSM 130 or not. o the factory-set encryption standard. • the module type. • whether the reflector dish is included. • the antenna scheme of the module. • whether adjustable power in the module is preset to low.
Canopy System User Guide Interpreting Model Number ↓ 5 7 0 0 B H 0 in the third position (5200AP, for example) indicates that the module is standard (not extended range, but rather capped to the maximum of 5 dBm, and not a CAP 130 or CSM 130). You cannot change the link distance range of the module. However, you can license an SM to uncap its aggregate throughput (for capability of the CSM 130).
Sorted Model Numbers Differentiating Among Components However, this designation is not shown on either label of the module, and a module ordered with the dish can be deployed without the dish. Antenna Scheme, Low Power Option, or Indoor Module In specifications tables and price lists, the trailing character C indicates that the module is connectorized for an external antenna. CLP indicates that the module is low power and connectorized (for example, 2400SMCLP).

Finding the Model (Part) Number and ESN Differentiating Among Components Interpreting Electronic Serial Number (ESN) Module labels contain a product serial number that could be significant in your dealings with Cambium or your supply chain. This is the electronic serial number (ESN), also known as the Media Access Control (MAC) address, of the module. This hexadecimal number identifies the module in • communications between modules.
Canopy System User Guide Chapter 7: Link Characteristics Understanding Bandwidth Management Downlink Frame A full frame consists of a downlink frame and an uplink frame. The downlink frame transmitted from the AP consists of • a beacon • an uplink map that tells each SM which slots it can use in the next uplink frame • broadcast and per-SM data. Each SM retrieves broadcast data and data addressed to that SM and passes that data through its Ethernet port to connected devices.
Understanding Bandwidth Management Link Characteristics Bandwidth requests are sent as control slots, which are half the size of a data slot. The operator configures a number of reserved control slots. In addition to the reserved control slots, space in any data slots in a given uplink frame not assigned by the uplink map is also available for bandwidth requests. An SM makes a bandwidth request when it has data to transmit.
Canopy System User Guide Understanding Bandwidth Management This Registration Grant includes the air delay (distance) between the AP and SM. The SMs are at various distances from the AP, and each of them uses its air delay value to determine when to begin its uplink transmission. This results in uplink transmissions from multiple SMs at various distances all being in sync when the AP receives them.
Understanding Bandwidth Management Link Characteristics For each token, the SM can send toward the network in the uplink (or the AP can send toward the SM in the downlink) an equivalent number of kilobits. Two buckets determine the permitted throughput: one in the SM for uplink and one in the AP for downlink. The applicable set of Uplink Burst Allocation and Downlink Burst Allocation parameters determine the number of tokens that can fill each bucket.
Canopy System User Guide Understanding Bandwidth Management For example, in the SM, if you set the Sustained Uplink Data Rate parameter to 2,000 kbps and the Sustained Downlink Data Rate parameter to 10,000 kbps, then the uplink and downlink MIR that will be enforced for the SM can be calculated as shown in Figure 26.
Understanding Bandwidth Management Link Characteristics Example download times for various arbitrary tiers of service are shown in Table 64 on Page 441 and Table 65 on Page 442. Interaction of Burst Allocation and Sustained Data Rate Settings If the Burst Allocation is set to 1200 kb and the Sustained Data Rate is set to 128 kbps, a data burst of 1000 kb is transmitted at full speed because the Burst Allocation is set high enough.
Canopy System User Guide Understanding Bandwidth Management Low Latency Bit Bit 3 is set by a device outside the system. In the uplink frame, the SM monitors Bit 3. If this bit is set, then • the SM prioritizes this traffic in its high-priority queue according to AP configuration settings for the high-priority channel. • the system sends the packet on the high-priority channel and services this channel before any normal traffic. 802.1P Field See Priority on VLANs (802.1p) on Page 169.
Understanding Bandwidth Management Link Characteristics This tab in the AP and BHM sets the priorities for the various packets in the downstream (sent from the public network). This tab in the SM and BHS sets the priorities for the various packets in the upstream (sent to the public network). Typically, some SMs attach to older devices that use the ToS byte as originally formatted, and others to newer devices that use the DSCP field.

Understanding Bandwidth Management • Link Characteristics The amount of noise and multipath must be low enough to allow the receiver in the 6 dB less sensitive (2X) state to maintain a high carrier-to-interference (C/I) ratio. The flexibility of this feature is as follows: • At the time of registration, signaling is at the 1X rate. However, if the above requirements are all met, then the SM switches to 2X. • Thereafter, whenever RF conditions are unfavorable for 2X operation, the SM switches to 1X.
Canopy System User Guide Understanding Bandwidth Management Competition for Bandwidth When multiple SMs vie for bandwidth, the AP divides its bandwidth among them, considering their effective CIR and MIR values. However, 2X operation uses bandwidth twice as efficiently as 1X, even where MIR values apply. This is because, in 2X operation, the modules transmit their data in 4-level frequency shift keying (FSK), not 2-level as they would in 1X operation. This moves twice the data per slot.
Understanding Bandwidth Management Link Characteristics CAUTION! 2X operation requires approximately 3 to 5% more power than 1X operation. This additional power affects the recommended maximum for power cord length feeding the CMMmicro or CMM4. See the dedicated user guide that supports the CMM model that you are deploying. However, 2X operation does not affect the maximums for the CMM2.

Understanding Synchronization o Link Characteristics enable their SMs first for 2X operation. • When you have deployable P7 and P8 SMs, do not deploy CSM 130s, CSM 09130s, or CSM 120 P9s beyond half the distance range of the AP. At this distance, steady and reliable 2X operation typically is not achievable. Deploy the P7 and P8 SMs here. • Wherever practical, implement o 10 MHz of channel separation for 3X operation. o 25 MHz of channel separation for 2X operation.
Canopy System User Guide Understanding Synchronization Alternative to GPS Sync A link can operate without GPS sync, but cannot operate without sync. The alternative to GPS sync is to configure the AP or BHM in the link to generate a sync pulse to pass to the SM or BHS, respectively. Depending on the RF environment in which the link operates, this latter alternative may or may not be plausible. For example, in Figure 27, AP4 • is not synchronized with any of the other APs.
Understanding Synchronization Link Characteristics Advantage of GPS Sync Although the embedded timing generation capability of the AP and BHM keeps a precise clock, no trigger exists to start the clock at the same moment in each AP of a cluster. So, the individual AP can synchronize communications between itself and registered SMs, but cannot synchronize itself with other modules, except by GPS timing (shown in Figure 28).
Canopy System User Guide Understanding Synchronization NOTE: In each of these following designs, Link 2 is not on the same frequency band as Link 4. (For example, Link 2 may be a 5.2-GHz link while Link 4 is a 5.7- or 2.4GHz link.) • Design 3 o A CMM provides sync to a co-located AP. o This AP sends the sync over the air to an SM. o This SM delivers the sync to a co-located AP. o This AP passes the sync in the additional link over the air to SMs. This design is illustrated in Figure 29.

Canopy System User Guide Chapter 8: Meeting Link Requirements AP-SM Links APs communicate with SMs using a point-to-multipoint protocol. An AP-SM link has lower throughput and higher latency than a backhaul link for two reasons: • Many endpoints are involved. • The bandwidth request and reservation process consumes bandwidth. In the 900-MHz frequency band range, round-trip latency is typically 15 msec. In all other frequency band ranges, round-trip latency is typically 6 msec.

Canopy System User Guide BH-BH Links BH-BH Links Cambium PTP Bridges communicate with each other using a point-to-point protocol. This pointto-point protocol uses a 2.5-msec frame. A BH link has higher throughput and lower latency (typically 5 msec, 2.5 msec in each direction) for two reasons: • Only two endpoints are involved. • No bandwidth request and reservation process is involved. For 10-Mbps BHs, the aggregate throughput on the channel is 7.5 Mbps.

Canopy System User Guide Chapter 12: Engineering Your RF Communications Before diagramming network layouts, the wise course is to • anticipate the correct amount of signal loss for your fade margin calculation (as defined below). • recognize all permanent and transient RF signals in the environment. • identify obstructions to line of sight reception.
Anticipating RF Signal Loss Engineering Your RF Communications Calculating Rx Signal Level The Rx sensitivity of each module is provided at http://www.cambiumnetworks.com. The determinants in Rx signal level are illustrated in Figure 35.
Canopy System User Guide Analyzing the RF Environment Analyzing the RF Environment An essential element in RF network planning is the analysis of spectrum usage and the strength of the signals that occupy the spectrum you are planning to use. Regardless of how you measure and log or chart the results you find (through the Spectrum Analyzer in SM and BHS feature or by using a spectrum analyzer), you should do so • at various times of day. • on various days of the week. • periodically into the future.

Canopy System User Guide Analyzing the RF Environment Noting Possible Obstructions in the Fresnel Zone The Fresnel (pronounced fre·NEL) Zone is a three-dimensional volume around the line of sight of an antenna transmission. Objects that penetrate this area can cause the received strength of the transmitted signal to fade. Out-of-phase reflections and absorption of the signal result in signal cancellation. The foliage of trees and plants in the Fresnel Zone can cause signal loss.
Analyzing the RF Environment Engineering Your RF Communications The master radios properly implement the regionally-imposed DFS conditions after reading the value of the Region Code parameter, which Release 8.2 introduced.

Canopy System User Guide Analyzing the RF Environment receives on that frequency for one minute without transmitting, as it monitors for a radar signature. Then the slave proceeds as follows: • If an SM detects no radar during this minute, it attempts to register in the AP. If it does detect radar, it locks out that frequency for 30 minutes and continues scanning other frequencies in its scan list. • If a BHS detects no radar during this minute, it registers in the BHM.
Analyzing the RF Environment Engineering Your RF Communications Release 9 introduces support for Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) ETSI v1.4.1. A 5.2-, 5.4-, or 5.7-GHz P10 or higher AP or BH with a Region Code set to United States and upgraded to Release 9.5 will continue to be set to the United States Region Code and will not be configurable to another Region Code by installers or end users. As discussed in section 2.
Canopy System User Guide Using Jitter to Check Received Signal Quality (FSK Only) Operators with 5.4-GHz APs or BHMs set to a Region Code of United States are well-served to ensure they are not using any of the unavailable channels before upgrading. Operators may need to perform channel planning and coordinated change of the transmitting channel on APs or BHMs before the upgrade. CAUTION! Before upgrading a P10 or P11 5.4-GHz FSK AP or BHM with a Region Code of United States to Release 9.

Selecting Sites for Network Elements Engineering Your RF Communications Line of Sight (LOS) Link In these ranges, a line of sight link is both • an unobstructed straight line from radio to radio. • an unobstructed zone surrounding that straight line. Fresnel Zone Clearance An unobstructed line of sight is important, but is not the only determinant of adequate placement.
Canopy System User Guide Selecting Sites for Network Elements Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) Link The 900-MHz and OFDM modules have a greater non-line of sight (NLOS) range than modules of other frequency bands. NLOS range depends on RF considerations such as foliage, topography, obstructions. A depiction of an NLOS link is shown in Figure 41.
Selecting Sites for Network Elements Engineering Your RF Communications Calculating the Aim Angles The proper angle of tilt can be calculated as a factor of both the difference in elevation and the distance that the link spans. Even in this case, a plumb line and a protractor can be helpful to ensure the proper tilt. This tilt is typically minimal.
Canopy System User Guide Co-locating Modules To use English standard units to find the angle of elevation, use the following formula: B tan b = 5280A Where: Is: B expressed in feet A expressed in miles The angle of depression from the higher module is identical to the angle of elevation from the lower module.

Deploying a Remote AP Engineering Your RF Communications Example Use Case for RF Obstructions A remote AP can be used to provide last-mile access to a community where RF obstructions prevent SMs from communicating with the higher-level AP in cluster. For example, you may be able to use 900 MHz for the last mile between a remote AP and the outlying SMs where these subscribers cannot form good links to a higher-level 2.4-GHz AP.
Canopy System User Guide Deploying a Remote AP • 4 Mbps to 900-MHz SMs up to 2 miles away in the sector. • 2 Mbps to 900-MHz SMs between 2 and 4 miles away in the sector. Example Use Case for Passing Sync All radios support the remote AP functionality. The BHS and the SM can reliably pass the sync pulse, and the BHM and AP can reliably receive it. Examples of passing sync over cable are shown under Passing Sync in an Additional Hop on Page 96. The sync cable is described under Cables on Page 57.
Diagramming Network Layouts Engineering Your RF Communications Where the SM simply serves as a relay, you must use a straight-through RJ-45 female-to-female coupler, and wire the SM to the remote AP as shown in Figure 47.
Canopy System User Guide Diagramming Network Layouts CAUTION! Regardless of whether 2.4-, 5.2-, 5.4-, or 5.7-GHz modules are deployed, channel separation between modules should be at least 20 MHz for 1X operation or 25 MHz for 2X. Physical Proximity A BH and an AP on the same tower require a CMM. The CMM properly synchronizes the transmit start times of all modules to prevent interference and desensing of the modules.
Diagramming Network Layouts Engineering Your RF Communications 6. Assess whether the link achieves good Power Level and Jitter values. NOTE: The received Power Level is shown in dBm and should be maximized. Jitter, where a value is present, should be minimized. However, better/lower jitter should be favored over better/higher dBm. For historical reasons, RSSI is also shown and is the unitless measure of power.
Canopy System User Guide Chapter 13: Engineering Your IP Communications Understanding Addresses A basic understanding of Internet Protocol (IP) address and subnet mask concepts is required for engineering your IP network. IP Address The IP address is a 32-bit binary number that has four parts (octets). This set of four octets has two segments, depending on the class of IP address. The first segment identifies the network. The second identifies the hosts or devices on the network.
Network Address Translation (NAT) Engineering Your IP Communications When a DHCP Server is Not Found To operate on a network, a computer requires an IP address, a subnet mask, and possibly a gateway address. Either a DHCP server automatically assigns this configuration information to a computer on a network or an operator must input these items.
Canopy System User Guide Network Address Translation (NAT) • a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the SM by Ethernet protocol. • a DHCP client that receives an IP address for the SM from a network DHCP server. DMZ In conjunction with the NAT features, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) allows the assignment of one IP address behind the SM for a device to logically exist outside the firewall and receive network traffic.

One typical use of a VPN is to connect remote employees, who are at home or in a different city, to their corporate network over the public Internet. Any of several VPN implementation schemes is possible.
Developing an IP Addressing Scheme Engineering Your IP Communications Developing an IP Addressing Scheme Network elements are accessed through IP Version 4 (IPv4) addressing. A proper IP addressing method is critical to the operation and security of a network. Each module requires an IP address on the network. This IP address is for only management purposes. For security, you should either • assign an unroutable IP address.

Canopy System User Guide Chapter 14: Engineering VLANs The radios support VLAN functionality as defined in the 802.1Q (Virtual LANs) specification, except for the following aspects of that specification: • the following protocols: o Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) GARV o Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) o Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) o GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP) • priority encoding (802.1P) before Release 7.0 • embedded source routing (ERIF) in the 802.
SM Membership in VLANs Engineering VLANs SM Membership in VLANs With the supported VLAN functionality, the radios determine bridge forwarding on the basis of not only the destination MAC address, but also the VLAN ID of the destination. This provides flexibility in how SMs are used: • Each SM can be a member in its own VLAN. • Each SM can be in its own broadcast domain, such that only the radios that are members of the VLAN can see broadcast and multicast traffic to and from the SM.
Canopy System User Guide Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) Tagging (802.1AD) Priority on VLANs (802.1p) The radios can prioritize traffic based on the eight priorities described in the IEEE 802.1p specification. When the high-priority channel is enabled on an SM, regardless of whether VLAN is enabled on the AP for the sector, packets received with a priority of 4 through 7 in the 802.1p field are forwarded onto the high-priority channel.
Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) Tagging (802.1AD) Engineering VLANs Figure 54 Q-in-Q network diagram In this diagram, we have four example PMP SM endpoints and a BH pair that are using VLAN configurations involving Q-in-Q. For Multipoint and Point-to-Point systems, the VLAN Port type can be configured to be one of two modes: Q or Q-in-Q. 170 • For Q mode, this means the port will operate just like today’s existing VLAN implementation.
Canopy System User Guide Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) Tagging (802.1AD) Either way, once the packet leaves the AP, it will be a Q-in-Q frame. For Point-to-Point, it is a little bit different in that the Backhaul will never add 2 layers of tags to an untagged frame. It will only add one layer of tag, thus making the frame either a single 802.1Q tagged packet (for untagged packets), or an 802.1ad doubly-tagged frame for already tagged packets.
Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) Tagging (802.1AD) Engineering VLANs SM4, bottom left in Figure 54, has an existing 802.1ad Q-in-Q network below it, meaning that packets coming into the SM’s Ethernet interface are already doubly tagged 802.1ad frames. These frames have an S-Tag VID of 60 and a C-Tag VID of 50. The SM is configured with a Q-in-Q VLAN Port Type with a Provider VID of 40.
Installation and Configuration Guide
Canopy System User Guide Chapter 15: Avoiding Hazards Use simple precautions to protect staff and equipment. Hazards include exposure to RF waves, lightning strikes, and power surges. This section specifically recommends actions to abate these hazards. Exposure Separation Distances To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install the radios so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances shown in Table 43 away from all persons.
Canopy System User Guide Exposure Separation Distances 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.
Exposure Separation Distances Avoiding Hazards Table 44: Calculated exposure distances and power compliance margins Variable Band Range 900 MHz 2.4 GHz 5.2 GHz 5.4 GHz 5.4 GHz OFDM 5.7 GHz 176 Recommended Separation Distance Power Compliance Margin 7 P G S d (calculated) external 0.4 W (26 dBm) 10.0 (10 dB) 6 W/m2 23 cm 60 cm (24 in) integrated 0.25 W (24 dBm) 15.
Canopy System User Guide Grounding the Equipment The Recommended Separation Distance provides significant compliance margin in all cases. To simplify exposure distances in this column, a module has the expressed separation distance regardless of whether it is retrofitted with a reflector or a LENS. These are conservative distances: • They are along the beam direction (the direction of greatest energy). Exposure to the sides and back of the module is significantly less.
Grounding the Equipment Avoiding Hazards Grounding SMs This section provides lightning protection guidelines for SMs to satisfy the National Electrical Code (NEC) of the United States. The requirements of the NEC focus on the safety aspects of electrical shock to personnel and on minimizing the risk of fire at a dwelling. The NEC does not address the survivability of electronic products that are exposed to lightning surges.
Canopy System User Guide Grounding the Equipment Grounding Scheme The proper overall antenna grounding scheme per the NEC is illustrated in Figure 136 on Page 399. In most television antenna or dish installations, a coaxial cable connects the outdoor electronics with the indoor electronics. To meet NEC 810-20, one typically uses a coaxial cable feed-through block that connects the outdoor coax to the indoor coax and also has a screw for attaching a ground wire.
Grounding the Equipment Avoiding Hazards Based on the electrical/thermal analysis of these wires, Cambium recommends 10-AWG copper wire for all grounding conductors. Although roughly double the cost of 16-AWG copper clad steel wire, 10-AWG copper wire handles six times the surge current from lightning.
Canopy System User Guide Protecting Cables and Connections On a site where you are deploying a mix of 30-V DC and 56-V DC radios (to the limit of 8 radios supported by one CMM), you can use a CMM4 that is connected to both a 30-V DC power supply and a 56-V DC power supply.
Protecting Cables and Connections Avoiding Hazards On a module with an external antenna, use accepted industry practices to wrap the connector to prevent water ingress. Although the male and female N-type connectors form a gas-tight seal with each other, the point where the cable enters each connector can allow water ingress and eventual corrosion. Wrapping and sealing is critical to long-term reliability of the connection.
Canopy System User Guide Chapter 16: Testing the Components The best practice is to connect all components—BHs, APs, GPS antenna, and CMM—in a test setting and initially configure and verify them before deploying them to an installation. In this way, any configuration issues are worked out before going on-site, on a tower, in the weather, where the discovery of configuration issues or marginal hardware is more problematic and workflow affecting.
Configuring for Test Testing the Components Default Module Configuration From the factory, the AP, SM, and BH are all configured to not transmit on any frequency. This configuration ensures that you do not accidentally turn on an unsynchronized module. Site synchronization of modules is required because • modules o cannot transmit and receive signals at the same time. o use TDD (Time Division Duplexing) to distribute signal access of the downlink and uplink frames.

Canopy System User Guide Monitoring the RF Environment You can use any module to see the frequency and power level of any detectable signal that is within, just above, or just below the frequency band range of the module. RECOMMENDATION: Vary the days and times when you analyze the spectrum in an area. The RF environment can change throughout the day or throughout the week.
Monitoring the RF Environment Growing Your Network Figure 146: Spectrum Analyzer tab of SM, example Colors in the display have the following meanings: • Green bars show the most recent measurements. • Yellow ticks show the maximum measurements from the current spectrum analysis session. • Red ticks show measurements of −40 dBm or stronger.
Canopy System User Guide Monitoring the RF Environment CAUTION! When you change an AP into an SM, any connections to SMs off that AP are lost. Therefore, you should ensure you are connected to the AP through its Ethernet side (not RF side) before changing it into an SM.
Monitoring the RF Environment Growing Your Network 1. transform all APs in a cluster into SMs. 2. perform spectrum analysis without Management VLAN, one sector at a time. 3. return all APs in the cluster to their Management VLAN for access. To transform a VLAN-enabled AP into an SM for spectrum analysis and then return the device to an AP, perform the following steps. Procedure 32: Using the Spectrum Analyzer in AP feature, VLAN enabled 1. Access the VLAN-enabled AP through its Management VLAN.
Canopy System User Guide Considering Software Release Compatibility Considering Software Release Compatibility Within the same network, modules can operate on multiple software releases. However, the features that can be enabled are limited to those that the earliest software supports. Designations for Hardware in Radios Documentation refers to hardware series (for example, Series P9). Releases 8 and later requires APs, BHs, and AES SMs to be Series P9 or later hardware.
Redeploying Modules Growing Your Network CAP 130 P9 APs provide higher throughput and lower latency than earlier series APs and support configuring the high-priority channel per SM. CAP 120 APs do not provide the higher throughput and lower latency, but they do support configuring the high-priority channel per SM. MIB File Set Compatibility Although MIB files are text files (not software), they define objects associated with configurable parameters and indicators for the module and its links.
Canopy System User Guide Redeploying Modules 3. Set the Frame Timing Pulse Gated parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located SM or BH timing slave to Enable. NOTE: This setting prevents interference in the event that the SM or BH timing slave loses sync.
Canopy System User Guide Chapter 22: Securing Your Network Isolating APs from the Internet Ensure that the IP addresses of the APs in your network • are not routable over the Internet. • do not share the subnet of the IP address of your user. RFC 1918, Address Allocation for Private Subnets, reserves for private IP networks three blocks of IP addresses that are not routable over the Internet: • /8 subnets have one reserved network, 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255.
Canopy System User Guide Encrypting Radio Transmissions AES Encryption Cambium also offers fixed wireless broadband IP network products that provide AES encryption. AES uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. Because of this higher level of security, the government of the U.S.A.
Managing Module Access by Passwords Securing Your Network However, if encryption is disabled, AES modules can communicate with DES modules. Managing Module Access by Passwords Adding a User for Access to a Module From the factory, each module has a preconfigured administrator-level account in the name root, which initially requires no associated password. This is the same root account that you may have used for access to the module by telnet or ftp.

Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or Passwords on AP, SM, or BH A small adjunctive product allows you to temporarily override some AP/SM/BH settings and thereby regain control of the module. This override plug is needed for access to the module in any of the following cases: • You have forgotten either o the IP address assigned to the module.

While the override plug is connected to a module, the module can neither register nor allow registration of another module. To regain access to the module, perform the following steps.
Canopy System User Guide Filtering Protocols and Ports Requiring SM Authentication By using a RADIUS server in the management network, SMs may be required to authenticate before being allowed entry into the network. SM authentication allows only known SMs onto the network (blocking “rogue” SMs), and can be configured to ensure SMs are connecting to a known network (preventing SMs from connecting to “rogue” APs). RADIUS authentication is used for SMs, but is not used for APs, BHMs, or BHSs.
Filtering Protocols and Ports Securing Your Network Port Filtering with NAT Enabled Where NAT is enabled, you can filter only the three user-defined ports. The following are example situations in which you can configure port filtering where NAT is enabled. • To block a subscriber from using FTP, you can filter Ports 20 and 21 (the FTP ports) for both the TCP and UDP protocols.

Filtering Management through Ethernet Securing Your Network Encrypting Downlink Broadcasts An AP can be enabled to encrypt downlink broadcast packets such as the following: • ARP • NetBIOS • broadcast packets containing video data on UDP. The encryption used is DES for a DES module, and AES for an AES module. Before the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast feature is enabled on the AP, air link security should be enabled on the AP.
Canopy System User Guide Configuring Management IP by DHCP • no attempt to access the SM management interface (by http, SNMP, telnet, ftp, or tftp) through Ethernet can succeed. • any attempt to access the SM management interface over the air (by IP address, presuming that LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, Network Accessibility is set to Public, or by link from the Session Status or Remote Subscribers tab in the AP) is unaffected.

Canopy System User Guide Chapter 25: Managing the Network From a Management Station (NMS) SNMPv2 (Simple Network Management Protocol Version 2) can be used to manage and monitor the modules under SMI (Structure of Management Information) specifications. SMI specifies management information definitions in ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) language. SNMPv2 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit counters. The SMI for SNMPv2 is defined in RFC 1902 at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1902.html.
Roles of Hardware and Software Elements Managing the Network From a Management Station (NMS) Dual Roles for the NMS The NMS can simultaneously act as an agent. In such an implementation, the NMS acts as • client to the agents in the modules, when polling for the agents for information and sending modification data to the agents. • server to another NMS, when being polled for information gathered from the agents and receiving modification data to send to the agents.

Canopy System User Guide Chapter 26: Using the Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) The Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) manages and automates the software and firmware upgrade process for a Canopy radio, CMMmicro, or CMM4 (but not its 14-port switch) across the network. This eliminates the need for an administrator to visit each radio in the network (or each AP while using the Autoupdate feature) to upgrade the modules.
Script Engine o Using the Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) set group-level defaults for telnet or ftp password access and SNMP Community String (defaults that can be overridden in an individual element when necessary). If you have both FSK and OFDM modules in your network, then you must either ensure that they all run Release 9.4.2 or that you select these two types of modules into separate element groups because they are not running on the same software.
Canopy System User Guide CNUT Download Software Dependencies for CNUT CNUT functionality requires • one of the following operating systems o Windows® 2000 o Windows Server 2003 o Windows XP or XP Professional o Windows 7 o Red Hat Enterprise Linux (32-bit) Version 4 or 5 • Java™ Runtime Version 2.0 or later (installed by the CNUT installation tool) CNUT Download CNUT can be downloaded together with each system release that supports CNUT.

Interpreting Messages in the Event Log (All) Using Informational Tabs in the GUI Interpreting Messages in the Event Log (All) Each line in the Event Log of a module Home page begins with a time and date stamp. However, some of these lines wrap as a combined result of window width, browser preferences, and line length. You may find this tab easiest to use if you widen the window until all lines are shown as beginning with the time and date stamp.
Canopy System User Guide • Interpreting Messages in the Event Log (All) the types of event messages (which follow the time and date stamps and the file and line references) are underscored as quoted in Table 74 and Table 75. Figure 159: Event Log tab data, example Messages that Flag Abnormal Events The messages listed in Table 74 flag abnormal events and, case by case, may signal the need for corrective action or technical support. See Troubleshooting on Page 570.

Table 77: RF Control Block statistics attributes 514 Attribute Meaning inoctets Count This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that deliver framing information.
Canopy System User Guide Interpreting Data in the VLAN Tab (All) Attribute Meaning indiscards Count This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. This stat will be pegged whenever corrupt data is received by software or whenever the RF Software Bridge queue is full. Corrupt data is a very unusual event because all packets are CRC checked by hardware before being passed into software.
Viewing Data VC Statistics (All) Using Informational Tabs in the GUI Figure 168: VLAN tab of the AP Interpret entries under Most Recent Filtered Frames as follows: • Unknown—This should not occur. Contact Technical Support. • Only Tagged—The packet was filtered because the configuration is set to accept only packets that have an 802.1Q header, and this packet did not.
Canopy System User Guide Viewing Data VC Statistics (All) The in/out packets and octets are usual ifmib stats and represent the number of octets and packets passing from the software bridge into the RF hardware. Once a packet is passed to the RF hardware, it is guaranteed transmission over the RF link. If a packet fails transmission over the RF link, the session will be torn down. This is called a VC error. Figure 169: Data VC tab of the AP The Data VC tab page displays the following fields.
Viewing Data VC Statistics (All) 518 Using Informational Tabs in the GUI Attribute Meaning indiscards This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. Inbound discard statistics are incremented similar to the indiscards stat on the RF control block stats page. The sum of all data VC indiscards should be close to the RF control block in discards.
Canopy System User Guide Viewing Summary Information in the Overload Tab (All) Viewing Summary Information in the Overload Tab (All) The Overload tab displays statistics on packet overload and resultant packet discards. Unlike the other fields, the Total Packets Overload Count is expressed in only this tab. It is not a count of how many packets have been lost, but rather of how many discard events (packet loss bursts) have been detected due to overload condition.
Viewing the DHCP Relay Tab (AP) Using Informational Tabs in the GUI Attribute Meaning Ethernet Out Discards This field represents the number of packets tossed due to an Ethernet out overload. This stat should never climb in normal operation because the Ethernet link is much higher capacity than the RF link. If this stat is incrementing, then either the Ethernet link is established at a low speed (i.e. 10Mbps – half duplex), or there is a problem with cabling/Ethernet hardware.

Canopy System User Guide Using the AP Evaluation or BHM Evaluation Tool (SM, BHS) Figure 183: AP Evaluation tab of SM, example The AP Evaluation tab provides the following fields that can be useful to manage and troubleshoot a system: Index This field displays the index value that the system assigns (for only this page) to the AP where this SM is registered (or to the BHM to which this BHS is registered). Frequency This field displays the frequency that the AP or BHM transmits.
Using the AP Evaluation or BHM Evaluation Tool (SM, BHS) • Region Code name • Region Code numeric value • corresponding Country Code numeric value Using Tools in the GUI These are shown in the following line: Jitter, RSSI, and Power Level The AP Evaluation tab shows the received Power Level in dBm and Jitter. Proper alignment maximizes Power Level and minimizes Jitter. As you refine alignment, you should favor lower jitter over higher dBm.
Canopy System User Guide Using the AP Evaluation or BHM Evaluation Tool (SM, BHS) FEC This field contains the SNMP value from the AP that indicates whether the Forward Error Correction feature is enabled. PMP 400 Series OFDM APs do not have this field. Type Multipoint indicates an AP, not a BHM. Age This is a counter for the number of minutes that the AP has been inactive. At 15 minutes of inactivity for the AP, this field is removed from the AP Eval tab in the SM.
Using the AP Evaluation or BHM Evaluation Tool (SM, BHS) Using Tools in the GUI NoLUIDs This field indicates how many times the AP has needed to reject a registration request from an SM because its capacity to make LUID assignments is full. This then locks the SM out of making any valid attempt for the next 15 minutes. It is extremely unlikely that a non-zero number would be displayed here.
Canopy System User Guide Using the AP Evaluation or BHM Evaluation Tool (SM, BHS) AP Gain This field displays the total external gain (antenna) used by the AP. RcvT This field displays the AP’s configured receive target for receiving SM transmissions (this field affects automatic SM power adjust).

OFDM modules do not have this field.
Canopy System User Guide Using the Frame Calculator Tool (All) for Co-location The second step to avoid interference is to configure parameters on all APs of the same frequency band in proximity such that they have compatible transmit/receive ratios (all stop transmitting each frame before any start receiving). This avoids the problem of one AP attempting to receive the signal from a distant SM while a nearby AP transmits, which could overpower that signal.
Using the Frame Calculator Tool (All) for Colocation Using Tools in the GUI Figure 184: Frame Calculator tab, example In the Frame Calculator tab, you may set the following parameters. Software Version Transmitter From the drop-down menu, select the software release that runs on the AP(s).
