User Guide: PTP 600 Series Establishing a radio link Establishing a radio link This section describes how to establish a radio link between the two units forming the bridge and align the units for the best signal strength. Before performing these tasks, connect the PIDU Plus to the network, power up the unit and open the web interface. For more information, refer to: • Powering up and connecting the PIDU Plus on page 5-3. • Opening the web interface on page 5-4.
Establishing a radio link Chapter 5 Installation CAUTION If, when in the Synchronized or Registered state, the tone varies wildly, there may be interference or a fast fading link. Installing in this situation may not give a reliable link. Investigate the cause of the problem. Aligning the units To align the units, proceed as follows: Procedure 5-18 Align Master and Slave 1 Adjust the elevation and azimuth of the Master unit to achieve an approximate visual alignment with the site of the Slave unit.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Establishing a radio link Behaviour during alignment When the units are powered up and alignment begins, the following behavior may be observed: Band scan When first started up and from time to time, the Master unit will carry out a band scan to determine which channels are not in use. During this time, between 10 and 15 seconds, the Master unit will not transmit and as a consequence of this neither will the Slave unit.
Establishing a radio link Chapter 5 Installation Retrying same channel If, at the end of the ranging period, the Registered state is not achieved due to interference or other reasons, the Master unit will retry twice more on the same channel before moving to another available channel. Should this occur it might take a number of minutes to establish a link in the Registered state. Adjusting power settings The transmit power levels of the installed units must be adjusted to ensure they are not too high.

Web-based management Chapter 6 Operation The web user interface menu has three main options. • Home: This presents to the operator a high level summary of the PTP 600 Series point-to-point wireless link. • Status: This presents a more detailed set of system parameters describing the performance of the wireless link together with other key system performance metrics.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Web-based management Link Name The link name attribute is a name and/or handle allocated by the system administrator to aid the identification of the unit, network or building. Elapsed Time Indicator The elapsed time indicator attribute presents the total time in days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last system restart. The system can restart for several reasons, for example, commanded reboot from the system reboot webpage, or a power cycle of the equipment.
Web-based management Chapter 6 Operation Home page alarm display The home page is also used to display all outstanding major system alarms. Whenever system alarms are asserted, a yellow warning triangle is displayed on web page navigation bar. The warning triangle will be visible from all web pages. Clicking the warning triangle will cause the web page to jump back to the system homepage. Figure 6-3 shows a sample alarm screen.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Web-based management System alarms The following system alarms are defined: Region code The region code prohibits the wireless unit from operating outside the regulated limits. An invalid region code indicates a corrupted license key. Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert. Install Status A non-OK value indicates that signaling was received with the wrong MAC address.
Web-based management Chapter 6 Operation 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 non-zero value may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Web-based management Fiber Link Status If the fiber link is not OK, there are two possible causes: Either the fiber link has been installed but disabled (because the license key does not include fiber support), or the link could not be established even though an optical carrier was detected (due perhaps to a broken TX fiber, or the link is disabled at the fiber link partner). Note that a change of status may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert.
Web-based management Chapter 6 Operation TDD Synchronization Alarm Indicates the current status of the TDD Synchronization (OK, Timing System Failure, Not Synchronized). Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert. Link Mode Optimization Mismatch The Master and Slave ODUs are configured to use different link mode optimization methods (one is set to IP and the other TDM).
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Web-based management The status page can be configured to refresh itself at an operator defined rate (if the user is logged in as system administrator). The refresh period defaults to 3600 seconds and can easily be changed to refresh at any period between 2 seconds and 3600 seconds. Pressing the ‘Update Page Refresh Period’ button causes a new page refresh period to be adopted by the system. The page refresh mechanism uses a HTML Meta refresh command.
Web-based management Chapter 6 Operation Elapsed Time Indicator The elapsed time indicator attribute presents the total time in years, days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last system restart. The system can restart for several reasons, for example commanded reboot from the system reboot web page, or a power cycle of the equipment. Ethernet Link Status: This indicates the current status of the Ethernet link. A state of ‘Up’ with a green background indicates that an Ethernet link is established.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Web-based management Under normal circumstances the unit will freely transition between modulation modes to suit the wireless conditions. The "Single Payload Lock" indicates that the ODU will prevent transitions from Single Payload modes to the higher Dual Payload modes in order to avoid loss of telecoms data. This field appears where such a transition would pass through modes which cannot carry telecoms data.

User Guide: PTP 600 Series Deployment considerations Deployment considerations When to use external antennas The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the PTP 600 Series. It should only be necessary to use external antennas where the LINKPlanner indicates marginal performance for a specific link – for example when the link is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an NLOS link or extremely long LOS links (>80km or >50 miles) over water.
Regulatory issues with connectorized units Chapter 8 Connectorized PTP 600 series Regulatory issues with connectorized units Maximum EIRP Normal EIRP limits In most regions (including USA, Canada, Europe and Australia) operation of products in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz is constrained by an EIRP limit. The constraint is that the EIRP must not exceed (17 + 10 x Log Bandwidth) dBm.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Regulatory issues with connectorized units The Set_Max_Transmit_Power parameter As the actual maximum transmit power can only be adjusted in 1 dB steps, then the installer or operator must configure the PTP 600 to have a Set_Max_Transmit_Power parameter as calculated below: Set_Max_Transmit_Power = [Max_Transmit_Power] rounded down to nearest lower dB step In order to simplify matters, the settings to be used for regions with the EIRP limits in Table 8-1 (assuming short feeder c
Regulatory issues with connectorized units Chapter 8 Connectorized PTP 600 series Antenna Maximum Operating Set_Max_Transmit_Power parameter size available bandwidth (MHz) setting (dBm) antenna 5.4 GHz 5.8 GHz 5 Not allowed -6 10 Not allowed -3 15 -7 -1 30 -4 2 gain (dBi) 4ft dish 34.8 Cable losses (FCC regions only) The FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the units of not less than 1.2 dB at 5.8 GHz.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Antenna choices Antenna choices Antenna selection criteria The main selection criterion is the required antenna gain. The secondary criterion is the ease of mounting and alignment. For example, the Radio Waves Parabolic dishes are supplied with a mount that allows adjustment for alignment independent of the actual antenna mounting. This type of antenna is much easier to align than those that have to be rotated around the mounting pole for alignment.
Installing connectorized bridges Chapter 8 Connectorized PTP 600 series Installing connectorized bridges The section covers the generic installation instructions for the Connectorized versions of the PTP 600 Series point-to-point wireless Ethernet bridges. The actual installation procedure will depend on antenna choice, cable choice, required antenna separation etc.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Installing connectorized bridges Miscellaneous supplies The following miscellaneous supplies will be required: • Cable ties, cable cleats – for securing cables • Self-amalgamating tape – to weatherproof the RF connectors • PVC tape – for additional protection of the RF connectors and securing cables Mounting the connectorized PTP 600 A Connectorized PTP 600 Series is shipped with the same bracket as supplied with an Integrated unit.
Installing connectorized bridges Chapter 8 Connectorized PTP 600 series Alignment process When aligning antennas deployed with a Connectorized PTP 600 Series unit it may not be possible to hear the alignment tone emanating from the unit. In this case it may be necessary for a second installer to assist in the operation. Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the tube on the supplied stethoscope to give a longer reach.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Installing connectorized bridges Aligning separate antennas When using separate antennas to achieve spatial diversity, one should be mounted with Horizontal polarization and the other with Vertical polarization. Follow Procedure 8-1 Procedure 8-1 Aligning separate antennas 1 Mount the Antennas. 2 Mount the connectorized version of the PTP 600 ODU. 3 Route and make off the ends of the Antenna cables. 4 Connect the antenna cables at the antennas.
Installing connectorized bridges Chapter 8 Connectorized PTP 600 series Completing the installation The installation should be completed by checking all mounting nuts bolts and screws, securing all cables and weatherproofing the installation. CAUTION Finally tightening the antenna mountings may cause the antenna alignment to be altered, due to distortion in the mounting bracket caused by action of tightening.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Installing connectorized bridges Antenna connection weatherproofing Where a cable connects to an antenna or unit from above, a drip loop should be left to ensure that water is not constantly channeled towards the connector. Figure 8-7 Forming a drip loop All joints should be weatherproofed using self-amalgamating tape.
Additional lightning protection Chapter 8 Connectorized PTP 600 series Additional lightning protection The following guidelines should be applied in addition to those described in Lightning protection on page 2-18. ODU mounted outdoors Where the ODU is mounted outdoors and is mounted some distance from the antenna, it is advisable to add additional grounding by utilizing Andrew Assemblies (such as Andrew Type 223158 www.andrew.com) as shown in Figure 8-9.
User Guide: PTP 600 Series Additional lightning protection ODU mounted indoors Where the ODU is mounted indoors, lightning arrestors should be deployed where the antenna cables enter the building as shown in Figure 8-10.
