Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Certain regulations have allocated certain channels as unavailable for use: FCC has allocated part of the 5.1 & 5.2 GHz ETSI has allocated part of the 5.4 GHz band to weather radar. UK and some other European countries have allocated part of the 5.8 GHz band to Road Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) systems.
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning 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.
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Cambium also provides co-location tool which helps in co-location planning: https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/colocationtool For more information on 450 Platform Family co-location, see http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/solution-papers Multiple OFDM Access Point Clusters When deploying multiple AP clusters in a dense area, consider aligning the clusters as shown below. However, this is only a recommendation.

Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning PMP 450m Series planning PMP 450m Series AP is based on Massive MU-MIMO technology. It is a 14x14 MIMO system which allows simultaneous communication to up to seven SMs. Figure 45 PMP 450m Series AP antenna beam PMP 450m installation recommendations . For best performance it is recommended to have a clearance zone around the mast. The clearance zone depends on the surrounding environment and the antenna’s down tilt.
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning Link planning This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning links, such as range, obstacles path loss and throughput. LINKPlanner is recommended. Range and obstacles Calculate the range of the link and identify any obstacles that may affect radio performance. Perform a survey to identify all the obstructions (such as trees or buildings) in the path and to assess the risk of interference.
Chapter 3: System planning Lcapability Link planning Equipment Capability (dB) Calculating Link Loss The link loss is the total attenuation of the wireless signal between two point-to-multipoint units.
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning Calculating Fade Margin Free space path loss is a major determinant in Rx (received) signal level. Rx signal level, in turn, is a major factor in the system operating margin (fade margin), which is calculated as follows: System operating margin (fade margin) dB = Rx signal level dB − Rx sensitivity dB Thus, fade margin is the difference between strength of the received signal and the strength that the receiver requires for maintaining a reliable link.
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units Planning for connectorized units This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning to use connectorized ODUs with external antennas in 450 Platform Family links. When to install connectorized units The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the integrated ODU.
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units Table 69 RF cable lengths required to achieve 1.2 dB loss at 5.8 GHz RF cable type Minimum cable length LMR100 0.6 m (1.9 ft) LMR200 1.4 m (4.6 ft) LMR300 2.2 m (7.3 ft) LMR400 3.4 m (11.1 ft) LMR600 5.0 m (16.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Data network planning This section describes factors to be considered when planning 450 Platform Family data networks. 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.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning DNS Client The DNS Client is used to resolve names of management servers within the operator’s management domain (see Figure 47). This feature allows hostname configuration for NTP servers, Authorization Servers, DHCP relay servers, and SNMP trap servers. Operators may choose to either enter in the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for the host name or to manually enter the IP addresses of the servers.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning In the Cambium system, NAT supports many protocols, including HTTP, ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocols), and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). For virtual private network (VPN) implementation, L2TP over IPSec (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol over IP Security) and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) are supported. DHCP DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning The IP address is essential for data delivery through a router interface. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) correlates MAC addresses to IP addresses. For communications to outside the network segment, ARP reads the network gateway address of the router and translates it into the MAC address of the router. Then the communication is sent to MAC address (physical network interface card) of the router.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Translation bridging Optionally, the AP can be configured to change the source MAC address in every packet it receives from its SMs to the MAC address of the SM/BHS that bridged the packet, before forwarding the packet toward the public network. In this case: Not more than 128 IP devices at any time are valid to send data to the AP from behind the SM.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Special case VLAN numbers This system handles special case VLAN numbers according to IEEE specifications: Table 70 Special case VLAN IDs VLAN Number Purpose Usage Constraint 0 These packets have 802.1p priority, but are otherwise handled as untagged. Must not be used as a management VLAN.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning PMP 450 Platform Family modules provide the VLAN frame filters that are described in Table 71.
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Operators may configure priority precedence as 802.1p Then Diffserv (Default) or Diffserv Then 802.1p. Since these priority precedence configurations are independent between the AP and SM, this setting must be configured on both the AP and SM to ensure that the precedence is adhered to by both sides of the link. VLAN settings can also cause the module to convert received non-VLAN packets into VLAN packets. In this case, the 802.
Chapter 3: System planning Network management planning Network management planning This section describes how to plan for 450 Platform Family links to be managed remotely using SNMP. Planning for SNMP operation Cambium modules provide the following SNMP traps for automatic notifications to the NMS: coldStart, which signals that the SNMPv2c element is reinitializing itself and that its configuration may have been altered.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Security planning This section describes how to plan for 450 Platform Family links to operate in secure mode. Managing module access by passwords Filtering protocols and ports Port Configuration Isolating AP/BHM from the Internet Ensure that the IP addresses of the AP/BHM in the network: are not routable over the Internet. do not share the subnet of the IP address of your user.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Planning for HTTPS operation Before starting to configure HTTPS operation, ensure that the cryptographic material listed in Table 73 is available. Table 73 HTTPS security material Item Description Quantity required User Defined Security Banner The banner provides warnings and notices to be read by the user before logging in to the ODU. Use text that is appropriate to the network security policy. Normally one per link. This depends upon network policy.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Identify the user names and security roles of initial SNMPv3 users. Two security roles are available: Read Only System Administrator Identify the security level for each of the security roles. Three security levels are available: (a) No authentication, no privacy (b) Authentication, no privacy (c) Authentication, privacy If authentication is required, identify the protocol. The authentication protocol available is MD5.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning From the factory default state, configure passwords for both the root and admin account at the ADMINISTRATOR permission level, using the Account > Change Users Password page. (If configure only one of these, then the other will still require no password for access into it and thus remain a security risk.) If you are intent on configuring only one of them, delete the admin account. The root account is the only account that CNUT uses to update the module.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Protocol and port filtering is set per AP/SM/BH. Except for filtering of SNMP ports, filtering occurs as packets leave the AP/SM/BH. For example, if SM is configured to filter SNMP, then SNMP packets are blocked from entering the SM and, thereby, from interacting with the SNMP portion of the protocol stack on the SM. Port Filtering with NAT Enabled Where NAT is enabled on the SM/BHS, the filtering can be enabled for only the user-defined ports.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning o Up to 3 user-defined ports o All other IPv6 traffic (see Figure 29) Filter Direction – Upstream and Downstream ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Figure 49 Categorical protocol filtering BootP Server BootP Client IPv4 Multica st SNMP All Other IPv4 User Defined Port 1 SMB User Defined Port 2 User Defined Port 3 ARP PPPoE All Others The following are example situations in which the protocol filtering is configured where NAT is disabled:

Chapter 3: System planning Security planning 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-configured module and AES for an AES-configured module. Before the Encrypt Downlink Broadcast feature is enabled on the AP, air link security must be enabled on the AP.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Allowing management from only specified IP addresses The Security sub-menu of the Configuration web page in the AP/BHM and SM/BHS includes the IP Access Control parameter. Specify one, two, or three IP addresses that must be allowed to access the management interface (by HTTP, SNMP, FTP or TFTP).
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Controlling PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding The AP supports the control of forwarding of PPPoE PADI (PPPoE Active Discovery Initiation) packets. This forwarding is configured on the AP GUI Configuration > Radio page by parameter PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding. When set to “Enabled”, the AP allows downstream and upstream transmission of PPPoE PADI packets.
