Provides on aggregate a uniform loading of the spectrum across all devices, that is, Fixed Frequency operation is not allowed. Note that PTP 54500 and PTP 58500 are different products. The Deployment Guide for PTP 54500 also contains the license keys for region 13.
5 General Considerations To address the primary aims the Spectrum Management algorithm implements a radar detection function which looks for impulsive interference on the Operating channel only. If impulsive interference is detected Spectrum Management will mark the current Operating channel as having detected radar (Unavailable channel) and initiate a channel hop to an available channel.
5 General Considerations Figure 11 - 5.8 GHz UK RTTT Channel Avoidance – 15 MHz Channel Bandwidth Only 5.3.2.2 Radar Avoidance, i-DFS and Bandwidth Operation Radar avoidance at 5.8 GHz is applicable to EU operation and the requirements are currently as defined in EN 302 502 v1.1.1.
5 General Considerations PTP 54500 Specific Frequency Planning Considerations Adjustment of the lower centre frequency allows the operator to slide the available frequency settings up and down the 5.4 GHz band. See Figure 12 (15 MHz channel bandwidth shown). Figure 12 - 5.4 GHz Available Spectrum Settings - 15 MHz Channel Bandwidth 5.5.1 PTP 54500 Raster Considerations: The PTP 54500 variant operates on a 5 MHz channel raster.
These standard features may require some additional equipment to be configured as part of the system installation to be fully effective. CAUTION: Motorola recommends the use of screened cable and Lightning Protection units to protect connected equipment from nearby strikes.
6 Site Planning 6 Site Planning Site Selection Criteria The following are guidelines for selecting the installation location of the ODU and PIDU Plus for a PTP 500 Series Bridge. 6.1.1 ODU Site Selection When selecting a site for the ODU the following should be taken into consideration: •...
6 Site Planning 6.1.3 Path Loss Considerations The path loss is the amount of attenuation the radio signal undergoes between the two ends of the link. 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 53
6 Site Planning 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. Sensitivity: Sensitivity is defined as the combined receive input signal level on both horizontal and vertical inputs that produces a Null BER Error ratio of 3x10 Output Power: The output power is for a centre channel in Region 1.

7 Installation Mounting the ODU The ODU mounting bracket is designed to ease installation by fixing the bracket to a pole and then bringing the ODU into position using a single bolt fixing. The ODU should be mounted using the following steps ensuring that the cable entry is at the bottom. The ODU mounting bracket is designed to work with poles with diameters in the range 50mm (2”) to 75mm (3”).
7 Installation The enclosure and mounting brackets of the PTP 500 Series Bridge product range are capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 200 mph (320 kph). The installer should ensure that the structure the bridge is fixed to is also capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds and loads.
7 Installation Connecting Up 7.7.1 Preparing the PIDU Plus To ODU Cable NOTE: The maximum cable length between the ODU and the user’s Network Equipment is 100m (330 ft). The cable should be assembled as shown in Figure 16: Figure 16 - Correct Cable Preparation for the Recommended Cable CAUTION: Check that the crimp tool matches the RJ45 connector being used.
7 Installation 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.
7 Installation 7.7.2 Making the Connections at the ODU Looking at the back of the unit with the cable entry at the bottom, the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus connection is the first hole on the right (Figure 19) and is labeled “PIDU +”. Figure 19 –...
7 Installation 7.7.3 Making the PTP 300/500/600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus Connection At The ODU The following procedure describes how connection is made at the ODU. It is often easier to carry out this procedure on the ground or a suitable surface prior to mounting the ODU. Ensure that no power is connected to the PIDU Plus or present on the cable before connecting the ODU.
7 Installation Figure 21 - Disconnecting the ODU CAUTION: Ensure that power is removed from the system at the PIDU Plus to prevent damage to the ODU while making or breaking the connection. 7.7.4 Routing the Cable After connecting the cable to the ODU it can be routed and secured using standard cable routing and securing techniques.
7 Installation 7.7.6 Grounding the Installation CAUTION: The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must be properly grounded to protect against power surges. It is the user’s responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the National Electrical Code in the country of installation.
Mounting the PTP 300/500/600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus This step is optional. Motorola recommends that you mount the PIDU Plus on a wall or other suitable mounting surface. This prevents the unit from being knocked or kicked and can help maintain link availability.
7 Installation CAUTION: The PIDU Plus is not waterproof and should be mounted away from sources of moisture. If mounted outdoors, the unit should be mounted in a rain proof enclosure, preferably ventilated. It is also recommended that you fit a drip loop on the PIDU Plus to ODU cable to ensure that any moisture that runs down the cable into the cabinet or enclosure cannot enter the PIDU Plus.
7 Installation 7.7.10 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.
7 Installation 7.7.11 Aligning the PTP 500 Series Bridge ODUs 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. The PTP 500 Series Bridge uses audible tones during installation to assist the installer with alignment.
7 Installation For the ease of alignment, both Master and Slave units use the install tones in the same way but with some small behavioral differences. This allows the installer to install the Slave unit first and carry out the initial alignment with the Master unit if desired. However, due to the behavioral differences of Master and Slave units, it is recommended that the Master unit is installed first and the initial alignment carried out at the Slave unit.
7 Installation In addition, it is possible to use the BNC connector on the PTP 500 Series ODU and a DVM to help with the alignment process. The BNC connector provides an analogue voltage which is proportional to the receive signal strength. To use remove the protective cap frome the case mounted BNC connector and connect a DVM.Yo may have to invert the pole for correct reading.
7 Installation 7.7.12 Additional Installation Notes According to the LINKPlanner report power settings values, some additional steps are required. These are necessary to ensure that the power levels of the installed units are not too high. Higher power levels may cause the saturation of the receivers or may cause false Radar detection (in Radar Enabled regions) which will cause a degradation of the link performance and may be responsible for a link failure.

13 PTP 500 Series Bridge – Connectorized Model Spectrum Management Control: Is used to configure the 500 Series Bridge Spectrum Management features, see Section 8.3.7 “Spectrum Management” for more details. iDFS is the abbreviation for intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection, which continually monitors the spectrum looking for the channel with the lowest level of on channel and co-channel interference.
13 PTP 500 Series Bridge – Connectorized Model EIRP: The Confirm Installation Page displays the EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power), which describes the strength of the radio signal leaving the wireless unit. This allows the operator to verify that their link configuration (Max Transmit Power, Antenna Gain and Cable Loss) do not cause the link to exceed any applicable regulatory limit.
In some regions, operation of the PTP 54500 products is constrained by an EIRP limit. The normal constraint is that the EIRP does not exceed 30 dBm (36 dBm for PTP 58500) for radio signals with a bandwidth of >=20 MHz. As the PTP 54500 operating bandwidth is approximately 15 MHz, then the limit is 34.8 dBm EIRP (28.8 dBm for PTP 58500).

14 Data Rate Calculations 14 Data Rate Calculations To aid the calculation of data rate throughput (end to end ethernet throughput assuming 1500 octet ethernet frames), the following plots of throughput verses link range have been produced for all the PTP 500 Series modulation modes, assuming the units are connected using 100 Mbps Ethernet.
15 AES Encryption Upgrade 15 AES Encryption Upgrade The Motorola PTP 500 Series bridges support link encryption using the NIST approved Advanced Encryption Standard, HFIPS-197 H. This standard specifies AES (Rijndael) as a FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.
Configuring link encryption will necessitate a 500 Series bridge service outage. Therefore it is recommended that the configuration process be scheduled during an appropriate period of low link utilization. Motorola recommends the following process for entering new license keys and minimizing service outage: 1.
15.1.2 Encryption Mode and Key Entering the license keys only does not initialize AES link encryption. Link encryption can only be enabled via the Configuration or Installation Wizard pages. Motorola recommends that the Configuration page Figure 124 be used to configure AES link encryption.
15 AES Encryption Upgrade 4. At both ends of the link enter ether an 128-bit or 256-bit encryption key. Note the key consists of 32/64 case insensitive hexadecimal characters. The same Key must be entered at both ends of the link. Failure to enter the same key will cause the link to fail.
