Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of FCC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to the FCC. Cambium supplies variants of the PMP/PTP 450i specifically for operation in the USA in order to comply with FCC requirements (KDB 905462 D02 UNII DFS Compliance Procedures New Rules v01r02). These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. Similarly, Cambium supplies variants of the PMP/PTP 450 specifically for operation in the USA in order to comply with FCC requirements (KDB 443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01r04). These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. To ensure compliance when using PMP 450 and PTP 450, follow the recommendation in Avoidance of weather radars (USA only). Page 3 Chapter 1: Product description Important regulatory information External antennas When using a connectorized version of the product, the conducted transmit power may need to be reduced to ensure the regulatory limit on transmitter EIRP is not exceeded. The installer must have an understanding of how to compute the effective antenna gain from the actual antenna gain and the feeder cable losses. The range of permissible values for maximum antenna gain and feeder cable losses are included in this user guide together with a sample calculation. The product GUI automatically applies the correct conducted power limit to ensure that it is not possible for the installation to exceed the EIRP limit, when the appropriate values for antenna gain and feeder cable losses are entered into the GUI. Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) To comply with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), units which are installed within 35 km (22 miles) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system (or have a line of sight propagation path to such a system) must be configured to avoid any frequency within +30 MHz or 30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR device. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km (22 miles) radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km (22 miles) radius of the TDWRs. If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used. Devices with bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation. When planning a link in the USA, visit http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx, enter the location of the planned link and search for TDWR radars. If a TDWR system is located within 35 km
(22 miles) or has line of sight propagation to the PTP device, perform the following tasks:
Register the installation on http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx. Make a list of channel center frequencies that must be barred, that is, those falling within
+30 MHz or 30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR radars. The PMP 450 platform AP must be configured to not operate on the affected channels. Canada specific information Caution This device complies with ISEDC s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. ISEDC requires manufacturers to implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz. Page 4 Chapter 1: Product description Important regulatory information Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of ISEDC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to ISEDC . In order to comply with these ISEDC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the PMP/PTP 450 platform for operation in Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with ISEDC rules. In particular, operation of radio channels overlapping the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz is not allowed and these channels are permanently barred. In addition, other channels may also need to be barred when operating close to weather radar installations. Other variants of the PMP/PTP 450 platform are available for use in the rest of the world, but these variants are not supplied to Canada except under strict controls, when they are needed for export and deployment outside Canada.

Page 1-13 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Wireless operation This section describes how the PMP/PTP 450 platform wireless link is operated, including modulation modes, power control and security. Time division duplexing The system uses Time Division Duplexing (TDD) one channel alternately transmits and receives rather than using one channel for transmitting and a second channel for receiving. To accomplish TDD, the AP/BHM must provide sync to its SM/BHS. Furthermore, collocated APs/BHMs must be synced together an unsynchronized AP/BHM that transmits during the receive cycle of a collocated AP/BHM can prevent a second AP/BHM from being able to decode the signals from its APs/BHSs. In addition, across a geographical area, APs/BHMs that can hear each other benefit from using a common sync to further reduce self-interference within the network. Modules use TDD on a common frequency to divide frames for uplink (orange) and downlink
(green) usage, as shown in the figure below. For more information on synchronization configuration options, see GPS synchronization on page 2-34. Figure 2 TDD frame division Time Page 1-14 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation TDD frame parameters The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following:
Channel Bandwidth Cyclic Prefix Frame Period Frame configuration - Downlink Data Link operation Dynamic Rate Adaptation OFDM and channel bandwidth The PMP/PTP 450 platform Series transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM). This wideband signal consists of many equally spaced sub-carriers. Although each sub carrier is modulated at a low rate using conventional modulation schemes, the resultant data rate from the sub-carriers is high. OFDM works exceptionally over a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) channel. The channel bandwidth of the OFDM signal is configurable to one of the following values: 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 MHz. Higher bandwidths provide greater link capacity at the expense of using more bandwidth. Systems configured for a narrower channel bandwidth provide better receiver sensitivity and can also be an appropriate choice in deployments where the amount of free spectrum is limited. Note The channel bandwidth must be configured to the same value at both ends of the link. Not all channel bandwidths are available in all regulatory bands. Cyclic Prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. For your convenience, the 450 and 450i products have been locked to a 1/16 CP. Frame Period The frame period or frame duration is the time between the beginning of a frame and the end of the frame. The PMP/PTP 450 platform Series supports two frame periods: 2.5 ms and 5 ms. The 5ms frame period configuration provides higher throughput as a result of reduced frame overhead during transmission. In turn, the 2.5 ms frame period configuration affords reduced latency in the system, half of that introduced by the 5 ms frame configuration. Page 1-15 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Frame configuration - Downlink Data The percentage of frame assigned to transport downlink data. The downlink data specifies the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted from the AP/BHM to the subscriber). The configurable range is 15 to 85 percent. Link operation Dynamic Rate Adapt PMP/PTP 450 platform Series products offer eight levels or speeds of operation 2X MIMO-B and 1X MIMO-A (QPSK), 4X MIMO-B and 2X MIMO-A (16-QAM), 6x MIMO-B and 3X MIMO-A (64-QAM) and 8X MIMO-B and 4X MIMO-A (265-QAM). If received power is less due to distance between the AP/BHM and the SM/BHS or due to obstructions, or if interference affects the RF environment, the system automatically and dynamically adjusts the links to the best operation level. The system chooses its modulation rate dynamically, based on an internal ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) error control method. With ARQ, every data slot of every frame sent over the air (except downlink broadcast) is expected to be acknowledged by the receiver, and if acknowledgement is not received, the data is resent. The sending unit monitors these re-sends and adjusts the modulation rate accordingly. It is normal to have links that change levels of operation as the RF environment changes. Furthermore, the uplink or downlink portions of TDD duty cycle operate independently; normal operation can have a downlink running at 6x while the uplink RF environment only supports 2x. The various modulation levels used by the PMP/PTP 450 platform are shown in Table 9. Table 9 Modulation levels Rate MIMO-B MIMO-A QPSK 2X MIMO-B 1X MIMO-A 16-QAM 4X MIMO-B 2X MIMO-A 64-QAM 6X MIMO-B 3X MIMO-A 256-QAM 8X MIMO-B 4X MIMO-A Note MIMO-A achieves half the throughput of MIMO-B but adds a combining diversity (gain) which enhances the link budget or availability. Page 1-16 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation MIMO Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and increase the probability that the receiver decodes a usable signal. When the effects of MIMO are combined with those of OFDM techniques and a high link budget, there is a high probability of a robust connection over a non-line-of-sight path. The sub-features that comprises the MIMO techniques utilized in the PMP/PTP 450 platform product are:
Matrix A: This technique enables the 450 platform radio to use a scheme that optimizes coverage by transmitting the same data over both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver making it more robust, at the cost of throughput. Matrix B: This technique provides for the ability to double the throughput of a radio transmission under proper RF conditions. Different data streams are transmitted simultaneously on two different antennas. Encryption The Cambium 450 platform Series supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The PTP 450 platform Series supports the following forms of encryption for security of the wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys and 256-bit key size to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. The default setting on an AP is "Disabled". Page 1-17 Chapter 1: Product description System management System management This section introduces the PMP/PTP 450 platform management system, including the web interface, installation, configuration, alerts and upgrades. Management agent PMP/PTP 450 platform equipment is managed through an embedded management agent. Management workstations, network management systems or PCs can be connected to this agent using the modules Ethernet port or over-the air (SM/BHS) The management agent supports the following interfaces:
Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) Hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) RADIUS authentication Simple network management protocol (SNMP) v2c and v3 Network time protocol (NTP) System logging (Syslog) Wireless Manager (WM) software Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) software Web server The PMP/PTP 450 platform management agent contains a web server. The web server supports access via the HTTP/HTTPS interface. Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the PMP/PTP 450 platform equipment from a locally connected computer or from a network management workstation connected through a management network, without requiring any special management software. The web and SNMP are the interfaces supported for installation of 450 platform equipment and for the majority of configuration management tasks. Page 1-18 Chapter 1: Product description System management Web pages The web-based management interfaces provide comprehensive web-based fault, configuration, performance and security management functions organized into the following groups:
Access Point or Backhaul Master:
Home Configuration Statistics Tools Logs Accounts Quick Start Copyright Subscriber Module or Backhaul Slave Home Configuration Statistics Tools Logs Accounts PDA Copyright Identity-based user accounts When identity-based user accounts are configured, a security officer can define from one to four user accounts, each of which may have one of the four possible roles:
ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of the root and admin users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of them creates. INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR except that the installer cannot add or delete users or change the password of any other user. TECHNICIAN, who has permissions to modify basic radio parameters and view informational web pages GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status tab Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to only see the items. See Managing module access by passwords for detailed information on account permissions. Page 1-19 Chapter 1: Product description System management Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) The PMP 450 platform system includes support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol functionality including:
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 not used for APs. SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP. SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. Centralized AP and SM user name and password management: Allows AP and SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician and Read-Only) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events
(logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account. Framed-IP-Address: Operators may use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules. SNMP The management agent supports fault and performance management by means of an SNMP interface. The management agent is compatible with SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using Management Information Base (MIB) files which are available for download from the Cambium Networks Support website:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450 https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 Network Time Protocol (NTP) The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or without a connection to a network time server (NTP). It can be configured to display local time by setting the time zone and daylight saving in the Time web page. If an NTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time at regular intervals. PMP/PTP 450 platform devices may receive NTP data from a CMM4 module or an NTP server configured in the systems management network. Page 1-20 Chapter 1: Product description System management The Time Zone option is configurable on the APs/BHMs Time Configuration page, and may be used to offset the received NTP time to match the operators local time zone. When set on the AP/BHM, the offset is set for the entire sector (AP/BHSs is notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time Zone change is applied, the AP/BHSs are notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some AP/BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-
registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log. An AP/BHM which is receiving NTP date and time information from an NTP server or from a GPS synchronization source may be used as an NTP server. Any client which has IP connectivity to the BHM may request NTP date and time information from the AP/BHM. No additional configuration
(other than the AP/BHM receiving valid NTP data) is required to use the AP/BHM as an NTP server.

Page 2-25 Chapter 2: System hardware Cabling and lightning protection Outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet cable Outdoor Cat5e cable is used for all connections that terminate outside the building. For example, connections between the ODU, surge suppressors (if installed), UGPS receivers (if installed) and the power supply injector. This is known as a drop cable (Figure 18). The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
Use only shielded cables and connectors to resist interference and corrosion. For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief. Include a 2 ft (0.6 m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed. Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the device. Properly crimp all connectors. Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion.

The Cluster Management CMM provides Global Positioning System (GPS) synchronization to the Access Point
(AP) and all associated Subscriber Modules (SM). Network operators have a choice of UGPS and CMM solutions to select the option that works best for the environment. Universal GPS (uGPS) The uGPS provides network synchronization for smaller networks where a CMM may not be cost effective. The uGPS provides synchronization for one or two modules so that even remote areas at the edge of the network can operate with synchronization for improved performance. The uGPS works with all Cambium PMP radios. The uGPS has a small footprint and is easy to deploy. Figure 22 uGPS Note PMP 450 and 450i APs can power up a uGPS via the Aux/Timing port. CMM5 The Cluster Management Module (CMM) 5 supports following features:
12 + 24 port versions. DC input. Midspan or rack mount. SFP ports Page 2-34 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization CMM4 (Rack Mount) The Cluster Management Module (CMM) is the heart of the Cambium systems synchronization capability, which allows network operators to reuse frequencies and add capacity while ensuring consistency in the quality of service to customers. For operators who prefer indoor CMM mounting, Cambium offers the Rack-Mounted Cluster Management Module 4. The unit is designed to be mounted onto a standard 19-inch telecommunications rack and to allow the Cambium CMM4 to be co-located with other telecommunications equipment. Figure 23 CMM4 (Rack Mount) The CMM4 has two DC power inputs, one 29 V and one 56V. It can be used to power and synchronize both 29V legacy products such as the PMP 450 and 56V products such as the PMP 450i simultaneously. If the 29V legacy products are connected to the CMM4, a 29V power supply needs to be connected. If PMP/PTP 450/450i are connected to the CMM4, a 56V power supply needs to be connected.. The CMM4 supports having two of the 56V and two of the 24V supplies for redundancy. Warning PMP 450i requires different wiring between the CMM4 and device. If a PMP450 is replaced by a PMP 450i and the existing drop cable needs to be re-used, the adapter
"CMM4 56V power adapter, #N000045L001A" must be used between the CMM4 and the existing drop cable. Note If only a 56V supply is used, it can not power up 29V radios.

Page 2-37 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization CMM4 (Cabinet with switch) Designed to deliver consistent and reliable wireless broadband service, the PMP/PTP system gracefully scales to support large deployments. The cluster management module is the heart of the systems synchronization capability which allows network operators to re-use frequencies and add capacity while ensuring consistency in the quality of service to customers. As a result, subscribers can experience carrier-grade service even at the outer edge of the network. Figure 26 CMM4 (Cabinet with switch) CMM4 (Cabinet without switch) This CMM includes all of the functionality listed above but there is no switch. This provides the network operator the flexibility to use the switch of their choice with the power and synchronization capabilities of the CMM4. CMM3/CMMmicro The CMM3 or CMMmicro (Cluster Management Module micro) provides power, GPS timing, and networking connections for an AP cluster. The CMM3 is configurable through a web interface. Page 2-38 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization The CMM3 contains an 8-port managed switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE this is cambium PoE, not the standard 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. The CMM3 can auto-negotiate speed to match inputs that are either 100Base-TX or 10Base-T, and either full duplex or half duplex, where the connected device is set to auto-negotiate. Alternatively, these parameters are settable. A CMM3 requires only one cable, terminating in an RJ-45 connector, for each connected module to distribute Ethernet signaling. power to as many as 8 co-located modulesAPs, BHMs, or BHSs. Through a browser interface to the managed switch, ports can be powered or not. sync to APs and BHMs. The CMM3 receives 1-pulse per second timing information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites through an antenna (included) and passes the timing pulse embedded in the 24-V power to the connected modules. GPS status information is available at the CMM3, however CMM3 provides time and date information to BHMs and APs if both the CMMmicro is operating on CMMmicro Release 2.1 or later and the AP/BHM is operating on System Release 4.2 or later. See Configuring time settings on Page 7-87. CMM3 does not provide time and date information to BHMs and APs if either the CMM3 is operating on a release earlier than CMMmicro Release 2.1 or the AP/BHM is operating on a release earlier than System Release 4.2. A CMM3/CMMicro is shown in Figure 27 and Figure 28. Figure 27 CMM3 Figure 28 Pole mounted CMM3 Note A CMM3 can not be used to power up a 450i radio.

Site selection for PMP/PTP radios When selecting a site for the ODU, consider the following factors:
Height and location to ensure that people are kept away from the antenna; see Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-24. Height and location to achieve the best radio path. Indoor location where power supply LED indicators accessible and cable length should not exceed maximum recommended length; see Power supply site selection Ability to meet the requirements specified in Grounding and lightning protection on page 3-8. Aesthetics and planning permission issues. Cable lengths; see ODU interfaces on page 2-23. The effect of strong winds on the installation; see ODU wind loading on page 3-11. Calculated distances and power compliance margin The calculated minimum separation distances, recommended distances and resulting margins for each frequency band and antenna combination. These are conservative distances that include compliance margins. At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below generally accepted limits for the general population. PMP/PTP 450 platform equipment adheres to all applicable EIRP limits for transmit power when operating in MIMO mode. Separation distances and compliance margins include compensation for both transmitters. Page 3-7 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Power supply site selection When selecting a site for the ODU power supply, consider the following factors:
Indoor location with no possibility of condensation, flooding or high humidity. Availability of a mains electricity supply. Located in an environment where it is not likely to exceed its operational temperature rating, allowing for natural convection cooling. Accessibility for viewing status indicator LED and connecting Ethernet cables. Cable lengths; see ODU interfaces on page 2-23. Maximum cable lengths When installing PMP/PTP 450i Series ODU, the maximum permitted length of the shielded copper Ethernet interface cable is 330 feet (100m) from AP/BHM/SM/BHS to their associated power supplies or CMM4. Grounding and lightning protection Warning Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The recommendations in this guide, when followed correctly, give the user the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor possible. Structures, equipment and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by lightning) by conducting the surge current to ground via a separate preferential solid path. The actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. To adequately protect a PMP/PTP 450 platform installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are required. Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the international standards IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 or section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code. Warning International and national standards take precedence over the requirements in this guide. Page 3-8 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Lightning protection zones Use the rolling sphere method (Figure 35) to determine where it is safe to mount equipment. An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), all the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection (Zone B). Similarly, where the sphere rests on two finials, the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection. Figure 35 Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones Zone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment in this zone. Zone B: In this zone, direct EMD (lightning) effects are still possible, but mounting in this zone significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike. Mount equipment in this zone. Warning Never mount equipment in Zone A. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment, structures and life at risk. Page 3-9 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Site grounding system Confirm that the site has a correctly installed grounding system on a common ground ring with access points for grounding PMP/PTP 450 platform equipment. If the outdoor equipment is to be installed on the roof of a high building (Figure 32), confirm that the following additional requirements are met:
A grounding conductor is installed around the roof perimeter to form the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring. Air terminals are installed along the length of the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring, typically every 6.1m (20ft). The main roof perimeter lightning protection ring contains at least two down conductors connected to the grounding electrode system. The down conductors should be physically separated from one another, as far as practical. ODU and external antenna location Find a location for the ODU (and external antenna for connectorized units) that meets the following requirements:
The equipment is high enough to achieve the best radio path. People can be kept a safe distance away from the equipment when it is radiating. The safe separation distances are defined in Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-24. The equipment is lower than the top of the supporting structure (tower, mast or building) or its lightning air terminal. If the ODU is connectorized, select a mounting position that gives it maximum protection from the elements, but still allows easy access for connecting and weatherproofing the cables. To minimize cable losses, select a position where the antenna cable lengths can be minimized. If diverse or two external antennas are being deployed, it is not necessary to mount the ODU at the midpoint of the antennas. ODU ambient temperature limits Select a location where the ODU can operate within safe ambient temperature limits. The following points need to be considered while selecting a location for the ODU:
The ODU must be mounted in a Restricted Access Location (as defined in EN 60950-1) if the operating ambient temperature may exceed 40C, including solar radiation. If the ambient temperature never exceeds 40C, the temperature of the external metal case parts of the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 70C. If the ambient temperature never exceeds 60C, the temperature of the external metal case parts of the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 90C. Page 3-10 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Note A restricted access location is defined (in EN 60950-1) as one where access may only be gained by use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location. Access must only be gained by persons who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that must be taken. Examples of permissible restricted access locations are a lockable equipment room or a lockable cabinet. ODU wind loading Ensure that the ODU and the structure on which it is mounted are capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds at a proposed PMP/PTP 450 platform site. Wind speed statistics are available from national meteorological offices. The ODU and its mouting bracket are capable of withstanding wind speeds of:
Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450m 5 GHz AP Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP/PTP 450i - 5 GHz all models Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP/PTP 450 - all models Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450 - Ruggedized Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450i - 900 MHz all models Up to 90 mph (145 kph) for PMP 450d Note The 900 MHz Antennas are tested up to 100mph wind loading. Wind blowing on the ODU will subject the mounting structure to significant lateral force. The magnitude of the force depends on both wind strength and surface area of the ODU. Wind loading is estimated using the following formulae:
Force (in kilogrammes) = 0.1045aV2 where:
o a is the surface area in square meters, and o V is the wind speed in meters per second. Force (in pounds) = 0.0042Av2 where:
o A is the surface area in square feet, and o v is the wind speed in miles per hour. Applying these formulae to the 450 platformat different wind speeds, the resulting wind loadings are shown in below tables.

The drop cable shield must be grounded near the ODU at the first point of contact between the drop cable and the mast, tower or building. The drop cable shield must be grounded at the building entry point. For mast or tower installations (Figure 30), use the following additional criteria:
The drop cable shield must be grounded at the bottom of the tower, near the vertical to horizontal transition point. This ground cable must be bonded to the tower or tower ground bus bar (TGB), if installed. If the tower is greater than 61 m (200 ft) in height, the drop cable shield must be grounded at the tower midpoint, and at additional points as necessary to reduce the distance between ground cables to 61 m (200 ft) or less. In high lightning-prone geographical areas, the drop cable shield must be grounded at spacing between 15 to 22 m (50 to 75 ft). This is especially important on towers taller than 45 m (150 ft). For roof installations (Figure 32), use the following additional criteria:
The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at its top entry point
(usually on the roof). The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at the entry point to the equipment room. Page 3-14 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Lightning Protection Unit(LPU) location Find a location for the bottom LPU that meets the following requirements:
The bottom LPU can be connected to the drop cable from the ODU. The bottom LPU is within 600 mm (24 in) of the point at which the drop cable enters the building, enclosure or equipment room within a larger building. The bottom LPU can be bonded to the grounding system. Page 3-15 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Radio Frequency planning This section describes how to plan PMP/PTP 450 platform links to conform to analysis of spectrum and the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation. Regulatory limits Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the PMP/PTP 450 platform Series. Refer to Equipment Disposal (Chapter 10: Reference Information) on page 10-37 to determine what the maximum transmitted power and EIRP for PMP/PTP 450/450i Series that can be used in each of countries and frequency band. Caution It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the PMP/PTP product is operated in accordance with local regulatory limits. Note Contact the applicable radio regulator to find out whether or not registration of the PMP/PTP 450/450i link is required. Conforming to the limits Ensure the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements by configuring the PMP 450/450i AP or PTP 450/450iBHM for the correct country. In the following situations, this does not prevent operation outside the regulations:
When using connectorized ODUs with external antennas, the regulations may require the maximum transmit power to be reduced. Available spectrum The available spectrum for operation depends on the regulatory band. When configured appropriately, the unit will only allow operation on those channels which are permitted by the regulations. Page 3-16 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. The number and identity of channels barred in a given regulatory band is dependent on the channel bandwidth and channel raster selected. 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. Regardless of how these parameters are measured and log or chart the results (through the Spectrum Analyzer feature or by using a spectrum analyzer), ensure measurements are performed:
At various times of day. On various days of the week. Periodically into the future. As new RF neighbors move in or consumer devices proliferate in currently used spectrum, this keeps the user aware of the dynamic possibilities for interference within the network. Channel bandwidth Select the required channel bandwidth for the link. The selection depends upon the regulatory band selected. The wider the channel bandwidth, the greater the capacity. As narrower channel bandwidths take up less spectrum, selecting a narrow channel bandwidth may be a better choice when operating in locations where the spectrum is very busy. Both ends of the link must be configured to operate on the same channel bandwidth. Anticipating Reflection of Radio Waves In the signal path, any object that is larger than the wavelength of the signal can reflect the signal. Such an object can even be the surface of the earth or of a river, bay or lake. The wavelength of the signal is approximately 2 inches (or 5 cm) for 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz signals. 12 inches for 900 MHz signals A reflected signal can arrive at the antenna of the receiver later than the non-reflected signal arrives. These two or more signals cause the condition known as multipath. Multipath may increase or decrease the signal level, resulting in overall attenuation that may be higher or lower than that caused by the link distance. This is problematic at the margin of the link budget, where the standard operating margin (fade margin) may be compromised. Page 3-17 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Obstructions in the Fresnel Zone The Fresnel (pronounced freNEL) 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. Seasonal density, moisture content of the foliage, and other factors such as wind may change the amount of loss. Plan to perform frequent and regular link tests if you must transmit through foliage. Planning for co-location The first step to avoid interference in wireless systems is to set all AP/BHMs to receive timing from a synchronization source (Cluster Management Module, or Universal Global Positioning System). This ensures that the modules are in sync and start transmitting at the same time each frame. The second step to avoid interference is to configure parameters on all AP/BHMs 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/BHM attempting to receive the signal from a distant SM/BHS while a nearby AP/BHM transmits, which could overpower that signal. The following parameters on the AP/BHM determine the transmit/receive ratio:
Downlink Data percentage
(reserved) Contention slots If OFDM (PMP/PTP 450 platform, PMP/PTP 230) and FSK (PMP/PTP 1x0) APs/BHMs of the same frequency band are in proximity, or if you want BHMs set to different parameters then you must use the Frame Calculator to identify compatible settings for APs/BHMs. The co-location is also supported for 900 MHz PMP 450i APs (OFDM) and PMP 100 APs (FSK). The Frame Calculator is available on the web management interface Tools > Frame Calculator. To use the Frame Calculator, type into the calculator various configurable parameter values for each proximal AP/BHM and then record the resulting AP/BHM Receive Start value. Next vary the Downlink Data percentage in each calculation and iterate until a calculated AP/BHM Receive Start for all co-located AP/BHMs where the transmit end does not come before the receive start. For more information on PMP/PTP 450 platform 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. An installation may dictate a different pattern of channel assignments. Page 3-18 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Figure 36 Example layout of 16 Access Point sectors (ABCD), 90 degree sectors An example for assignment of frequency channels is provided in the following table. Table 57 Example 5.8 GHz 4-channel assignment by access site Symbol Frequency A B C D 5.740 GHz 5.760 GHz 5.780 GHz 5.800 GHz Page 3-19 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Figure 37 Example layout of 6 Access Point sectors (ABC), 60 degree sectors An example for assignment of frequency channels and sector IDs is provided in the following table. Table 58 Example 5.8 GHz 3-channel assignment by access site Symbol Frequency A B C 5.740 GHz 5.760 GHz 5.780 GHz Page 3-20 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. This information is necessary in order to achieve an accurate link feasibility assessment. The PMP/PTP 450 platform Series is designed to operate in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) and Line-of-
Sight (LoS) environments. An NLOS environment is one in which there is no optical line-of-sight, that is, there are obstructions between the antennas. OFDM technology can often use multi-pathing to an advantage to overcome nLOS, especially in cases where the Fresnel zone is only partially blocked by buildings, urban canyons, or foliage. OFDM tends to help especially when obstacles are near the middle of the link, and less so when the obstacles are very near the ODU. However, attenuation through walls and trees is substantial for any use of the 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands. The lower frequency radio waves of 900 MHz radios provide greater penetration through walls, trees and other obstacles, making it optimal for most non-line-of-sight applications. Even with OFDM, these products are not expected to penetrate walls or extensive trees and foliage. Path loss 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). The following calculation needs to be performed to judge whether a particular link can be installed:
Where:
Is:
Free Space Path Loss (dB) Excess Path Loss (dB) Fade Margin Required (dB) Seasonal Fading (dB) Page 3-21 capabilityseasonalfadeexcessspacefreeLLLLL_spacefreeL_excessLfadeLseasonalL Chapter 3: System planning 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. The link loss calculation is presented below:
Link Loss (dB) = Transmit power of the remote wireless unit (dBm) Tx Cable loss
(dB) Received power at the local unit (dBm) Rx cable loss (dB) +
Antenna gain at the remote unit (dBi) + Antenna gain at the local unit
(dBi) Calculating Rx Signal Level The determinants in Rx signal level are illustrated in Figure 38. Figure 38 Determinants in Rx signal level Rx signal level is calculated as follows:
Rx signal level dB = Tx power Tx cable loss + Tx antenna gain free space path loss + Rx antenna gain Rx cable loss Note This Rx signal level calculation presumes that a clear line of sight is established between the transmitter and receiver and that no objects encroach in the Fresnel zone. Page 3-22 capabilityL 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. A higher fade margin is characteristic of a more reliable link. Adaptive modulation Adaptive modulation ensures that the highest throughput that can be achieved instantaneously will be obtained, taking account of propagation and interference. When the link has been installed, web pages provide information about the link loss currently measured by the equipment, both instantaneously and averaged. The averaged value will require maximum seasonal fading to be added, and then the radio reliability of the link can be computed. For details of the system throughput, link loss and maximum distance for each frequency band in all modulation modes, see Link on page 10-34. Page 3-23 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 PMP/PTP 450 platform links. When to install connectorized units The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the integrated ODU. However the integrated units may not be sufficient in some areas, for example:
Where the path is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an NLOS link. Where long LOS links are required. Where there are known to be high levels of interference. In these areas, connectorized ODUs and external antennas should be used. Choosing external antennas When selecting external antennas, consider the following factors:
The required antenna gain. Ease of mounting and alignment. Use dual-polarization antenna (as the integrated antenna). Note Enter the antenna gain and cable loss into the Installation Wizard, if the country selected has an EIRP limit, the corresponding maximum transmit power will be calculated automatically by the unit. Calculating RF cable length (5.8 GHz FCC only) The 5.8 GHz band FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the ODU and antenna of not less than 1.2 dB. If cable loss is below 1.2 dB with a 1.3 m (4 ft) diameter external antenna, the connectorized PMP/PTP 450 platform may exceed the maximum radiated spurious emissions allowed under FCC 5.8 GHz rules. Cable loss depends mainly upon cable type and length. To meet or exceed the minimum loss of 1.2 dB, use cables of the type and length specified in Table 59 (source: Times Microwave). This data excludes connector losses. Page 3-24 Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units Table 59 RF cable lengths required to achieve 1.2 dB loss at 5.8 GHz RF cable type Minimum cable length 0.6 m (1.9 ft) 1.4 m (4.6 ft) 2.2 m (7.3 ft) 3.4 m (11.1 ft) 5.0 m (16.5 ft) LMR100 LMR200 LMR300 LMR400 LMR600 Page 3-25 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Data network planning This section describes factors to be considered when planning PMP/PTP 450 platform 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. The first segment identifies the network. The second identifies the hosts or devices on the network. The subnet mask marks a boundary between these two sub-addresses. Dynamic or static addressing For any computer to communicate with a module, the computer must be configured to either use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). In this case, when not connected to the network, the computer derives an IP address on the 169.254 network within two minutes. have an assigned static IP address (for example, 169.254.1.5) on the 169.254 network. Note If an IP address that is set in the module is not the 169.254.x.x network address, then the network operator must assign the computer a static IP address in the same subnet. 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. When a computer is brought on line and a DHCP server is not accessible (such as when the server is down or the computer is not plugged into the network), Microsoft and Apple operating systems default to an IP address of 169.254.x.x and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (169.254/16, where /16 indicates that the first 16 bits of the address range are identical among all members of the subnet). Page 3-26 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning DNS Client The DNS Client is used to resolve names of management servers within the operators management domain (see Figure 39). 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. Figure 39 Cambium networks management domain Network Address Translation (NAT) NAT, DHCP Server, DHCP Client and DMZ in SM The system provides NAT (network address translation) for SMs in the following combinations of NAT and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
NAT Disabled NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP Server NAT with DHCP Client(DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) NAT with DHCP Server NAT without DHCP NAT NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet/wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic
(separate from its address for management), terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet/wired side of the SM. Page 3-27 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. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each SM provides:
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. The first three octets of this IP address must be identical to the first three octets of the NAT private IP address. 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 must either:
Assign a non-routable IP address. Assign a routable IP address only if a firewall is present to protect the module. You assign an IP addresses to computers and network components by either static or dynamic IP addressing. You will also assign the appropriate subnet mask and network gateway to each module. Address Resolution Protocol As previously stated, the MAC address identifies a module in:
Communications between modules. The data that modules store about each other. Page 3-28 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. For each router between the sending module and the destination, this sequence applies. The ARP correlation is stored until the ARP cache times out. Allocating subnets The subnet mask is a 32-bit binary number that filters the IP address. Where a subnet mask contains a bit set to 1, the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network address. Example IP address and subnet mask In Figure 40, the first 16 bits of the 32-bit IP address identify the network:
Figure 40 Example of IP address in Class B subnet Octet 1 Octet 2 Octet 3 Octet 4 IP address 169.254.1.1 10101001 11111110 00000001 00000001 Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 11111111 11111111 00000000 00000000 In this example, the network address is 169.254 and 216 (65,536) hosts are addressable. Selecting non-routable IP addresses The factory default assignments for network elements are:
Unique MAC address IP address of 169.254.1.1 Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 Network gateway address of 169.254.0.0 For each radio and CMM4, assign an IP address that is both consistent with the IP addressing plan for your network and cannot be accessed from the Internet. IP addresses within the following ranges are not routable from the Internet, regardless of whether a firewall is configured:
10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255 Also, the subnet mask and network gateway for each CMM4 can be assigned. Page 3-29 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. SM populates the Translation Table tab of its Statistics web page, displaying the MAC address and IP address of all the valid connected devices. Each entry in the Translation Table is associated with the number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM. If 128 are connected, and another attempts to connect:
o o If no Translation Table entry is older than 255 minutes, the attempt is ignored. If an entry is older than 255 minutes, the oldest entry is removed and the attempt is successful. The Send Untranslated ARP parameter in the General tab of the Configuration page can be:
o Disabled, so that the AP overwrites the MAC address in ARP packets before forwarding them. o Enabled, so that the AP forwards ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. This is the Translation Bridging feature, which you can enable in the General page of the Configuration web page in the AP. When this feature is disabled, the setting of the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect, because all packets are forwarded untranslated
(with the source MAC address intact). See Address Resolution Protocol on Page 3-28. Engineering VLANs The radios support VLAN functionality as defined in the 802.1Q (Virtual LANs) specification, except for the following aspects of that specification:
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) Embedded source routing (ERIF) in the 802.1Q header Multicast pruning Flooding unknown unicast frames in the downlink As an additional exception, the AP/BHM does not flood downward the unknown unicast frames to the SM/BHS. A VLAN configuration in Layer 2 establishes a logical group within the network. Each computer in the VLAN, regardless of initial or eventual physical location, has access to the same data. For the network operator, this provides flexibility in network segmentation, simpler management, and enhanced security. Page 3-30 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Special case VLAN numbers This system handles special case VLAN numbers according to IEEE specifications:
Table 60 Special case VLAN IDs VLAN Number Purpose Usage Constraint 0 1 These packets have 802.1p priority, but are Must not be used as a otherwise handled as untagged. management VLAN. Although not noted as special case by IEEE specifications, these packets identify traffic that was untagged upon ingress into the SM and must remain untagged upon egress. This policy is hard-coded in the AP. Must not be used for system VLAN traffic. 4095 This VLAN is reserved for internal use. Must not be used at all. 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. The network operator can define a work group of SMs, regardless of the AP(s) to which they register. Page 3-31 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning PMP 450 platform modules provide the VLAN frame filters that are described in Table 61. Table 61 VLAN filters in point-to-multipoint modules then a frame is discarded if Where VLAN is active, if this parameter value is selected entering the bridge/
NAT switch through Ethernet TCP/IP because of this VLAN filter in the software:
any combination of VLAN parameter settings any combination of with a VID not in the membership table Ingress with a VID not in VLAN the Local Ingress parameter settings Allow Frame Types:

NAT switch through Ethernet TCP/IP with a VID not in the membership table Egress with a VID not in VLAN the Local Egress parameter settings membership table 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 a 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. Page 3-32 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 802.1p priority in packets leaving the module is set to the priority established by the DiffServ configuration. If VLAN is enabled, immediately monitor traffic to ensure that the results are as desired. For example, high-priority traffic may block low-priority. Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) Tagging (802.1ad) PMP and PTP modules can be configured with 802.1ad Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) tagging which is a way for an operator to put an 802.1Q VLAN inside of an 802.1ad VLAN. A nested VLAN, which is the original 802.1Q tag and a new second 802.1ad tag, allows for bridging of VLAN traffic across a network and segregates the broadcast domains of 802.1Q VLANs. Q-in-Q can be used with PPPoE and/or NAT. The 802.1ad standard defines the S-VLAN as the Service Provider VLAN and the C-VLAN as the customer VLAN. The radio software does 2 layer Q-in-Q whereby the C-VLAN is the 802.1Q tag and the S-VLAN is the second layer Q tag as shown in Table 62. Table 62 Q-in-Q Ethernet frame Ethernet Header S-VLAN EthType C-VLAN EthType 0x88a8 0x8100 IP Data EthType 0x0800 The 802.1ad S-VLAN is the outer VLAN that is configurable on the Configuration > VLAN web page of the AP/BHM. The Q-in-Q EtherType parameter is configured with a default EtherType of 0x88a8 in addition to four alternate EtherTypes that can be configured to aid in interoperability with existing networks that use a different EtherType than the default. The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top level concept, this operates on the outermost tag at any given time, either pushing a tag on or popping a tag off. This means packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag pushed on) or an untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag popped off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.1Q frame (with the tag popped off) since the radio software only supports 2 levels of tags. Page 3-33 Chapter 3: System planning Network management planning Network management planning This section describes how to plan for PMP/PTP 450 platform 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. warmStart, which signals that the SNMPv2c element is reinitializing such that its configuration is unaltered. authenticationFailure, which signals that the SNMPv2c element has received a protocol message that is not properly authenticated (contingent on the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object setting). linkDown, as defined in RFC 1573 linkUp, as defined in RFC 1573 egpNeighborLoss, as defined in RFC 1213 whispGPSInSync, which signals a transition from not synchronized to synchronized. whispGPSOutSync, which signals a transition from synchronized to not synchronized. whispRegComplete, which signals registration completed. whispRegLost, which signals registration lost. whispRadarDetected, which signals that the one-minute scan has been completed, radar has been detected and the radio will shut down. whispRadarEnd, which signals that the one-minute scan has been completed, radar has not been detected and the radio will resume normal operation. Note The proprietary MIBs are provided in the PMP/PTP 450 platform Series software download files in the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1). Enabling SNMP Enable the SNMP interface for use by configuring the following attributes in the SNMP Configuration page:
SNMP State (default disabled) SNMP Version (default SNMPv2c) SNMP Port Number (default 161) Page 3-34 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Security planning This section describes how to plan for PMP/PTP 450 platform 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. 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.
/16 subnets have 16 reserved networks, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255.
/24 subnets have 256 reserved networks, 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Encrypting radio transmissions Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP systems employ the following form of encryption for security of the wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. The default encryption setting for 450 platform is "None". Page 3-35 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Planning for HTTPS operation Before starting to configure HTTPS operation, ensure that the cryptographic material listed in Table 63 is available. Table 63 HTTPS security material Item Description Quantity required User Defined Security The banner provides warnings and notices Normally one per link. Banner to be read by the user before logging in to This depends upon the ODU. Use text that is appropriate to network policy. the network security policy. Port numbers for HTTP, Port numbers allocated by the network. As allocated by HTTPS and Telnet network. Planning for SNMPv3 operation SNMP security mode Decide how SNMPv3 security will be configured. MIB-based security management uses standard SNMPv3 MIBs to configure the user-based security model and the view-based access control model. This approach provides considerable flexibility, allowing a network operator to tailor views and security levels appropriate for different types of user. MIB-based security management may allow a network operator to take advantage of built-in security management capabilities of existing network managers. Web-based security management allows an operator to configure users, security levels, privacy and authentication protocols, and passphrases using the PMP/PTP 450 platform web-based management interface. The capabilities supported are somewhat less flexible than those supported using the MIB-based security management, but will be sufficient in many applications. Selection of web-based management for SNMPv3 security disables the MIB-based security management. PMP/PTP 450 platform does not support concurrent use of MIB-based and web-
based management of SNMPv3 security. Web-based management of SNMPv3 security Initial configuration of SNMPv3 security is available only to HTTP or HTTPS user accounts with security role of Security Officer. Identify the format used for SNMP Engine ID. The following formats are available:
MAC address (default) 5 and 32 hex characters (the hex character input is driven by RFC 3411 recommendations on the Engine ID) Page 3-36 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. If privacy will be used, identify the protocol. The privacy protocol available is cbc-des. Managing module access by passwords From the factory, each module has a preconfigured administrator-level account in the name root, which initially requires no associated password. When you upgrade a module:
An account is created in the name admin. Both admin and root inherit the password that was previously used to access the module, if:
o Full Access password, if one was set. o Display-Only Access password, if one was set and no Full Access password was set. Caution If you use Wireless Manager, do not delete the root account from any module. If you use a NMS that communicates with modules through SNMP, do not delete the root account from any module unless you first can confirm that the NMS does not rely on the root account for access to the modules. Each module supports four or fewer user accounts, regardless of account levels. The available levels are ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of the root and admin users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of them creates. INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR except that the installer cannot add or delete users or change the password of any other user. TECHNICIAN, who has permissions to modify basic radio parameters and view informational web pages. GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status tab. Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to only see the items. The ability to view information of General Status tab can be controlled by the "Site Information Viewable to Guest Users" under the SNMP tab. Page 3-37 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. After a password has been set for any ADMINISTRATOR-level account, initial access to the module GUI opens the view of GUEST level. Planning for RADIUS operation Configure RADIUS where remote authentication is required for users of the web-based interface. Remote authentication has the following advantages:
Control of passwords can be centralized. Management of user accounts can be more sophisticated. For example; users can be prompted by a network manager to change passwords at regular intervals. As another example, passwords can be checked for inclusion of dictionary words and phrases. Passwords can be updated without reconfiguring multiple network elements. User accounts can be disabled without reconfiguring multiple network elements. Remote authentication has one significant disadvantage in a wireless link product such as PMP/PTP 450 platform. If the wireless link is down, a unit on the remote side of the broken link may be prevented from contacting a RADIUS Server, with the result that users are unable to access the web-based interface. One useful strategy would be to combine RADIUS authentication for normal operation with a single locally-authenticated user account for emergency use. PMP 450 platform SM provides a choice of the following authentication methods:
EAP-MSCHAPv2 EAP-TTLS Ensure that the authentication method selected in PMP/PTP 450 platform is supported by the RADIUS server. Filtering protocols and ports Configure filters for specified protocols and ports from leaving the AP/BHM and SM/BHS and entering the network. This protects the network from both intended and inadvertent packet loading or probing by network users. By keeping the specified protocols or ports off the network, this feature also provides a level of protection to users from each other. 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. Page 3-38 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Port Filtering with NAT Enabled Where NAT is enabled on the SM/BHS, the filtering can be enabled for only the user-defined ports. The following are examples for situations where the configure port can be filtered 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. To block a subscriber from access to SNMP, you can filter Ports 161 and 162 (the SNMP ports) for both the TCP and UDP protocols. Note In only the SNMP case, filtering occurs before the packet interacts with the protocol stack. Protocol and Port Filtering with NAT Disabled Where NAT is disabled on the SM/BHS, the filtering can be enabled for both protocols and the three user-defined ports. Using the check boxes on the interface, it can be either:
Allow all protocols except those that user wish to block. Block all protocols except those that user wish to allow. Allow or block any of the following protocols:
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) Any or all of the following IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) protocols:
Any or all of the following IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) protocols:
o SMB (Network Neighborhood) o SNMP o Bootp Client o Bootp Server o Up to 3 user-defined ports o All other IPv4 traffic (see Figure 29) Any or all of the following IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) protocols:
o SMB (Network Neighborhood) o SNMP o Bootp Client o Bootp Server o Up to 3 user-defined ports o All other IPv6 traffic (see Figure 29) Filter Direction Upstream and Downstream ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Page 3-39 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Figure 41 Categorical protocol filtering The following are example situations in which the protocol filtering is configured where NAT is disabled:
If a subscriber is blocked from only PPPoE and SNMP, then the subscriber retains access to all other protocols and all ports. If PPPoE, IPv4, and Uplink Broadcast are blocked, and also check the All others selection, then only Address Resolution Protocol is not filtered. The ports filtered as a result of protocol selections in the Protocol Filtering tab of the SM/BHS are listed in Table 64.

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. Isolating SMs in PMP In an AP, SMs in the sector can be prevented from directly communicating with each other. In CMM4, the connected APs can be prevented from directly communicating with each other, which prevents SMs that are in different sectors of a cluster from communicating with each other. In the AP, the SM Isolation parameter is available in the General tab of the Configuration web page. Configure the SM Isolation feature by any of the following selections from drop-down menu:
Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs. Enable Option 1 - Block SM destined packets from being forwarded. This prevents both multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication. Enable Option 2 - Forward SM destined packets upstream. This not only prevents multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends the packets, which otherwise may have been handled SM to SM, through the Ethernet port of the AP. In the CMM and the CMM4, SM isolation treatment is the result of how to manage the port-based VLAN feature of the embedded switch, where all traffic can be switched from any AP to a specified uplink port. However, this is not packet level switching. It is not based on VLAN IDs. Filtering management through Ethernet Configure the SM to disallow any device that is connected to its Ethernet port from accessing the IP address of the SM. If the Ethernet Access Control parameter is set to Enabled, then:
No attempt to access the SM management interface (by http, SNMP, ftp, or tftp) through Ethernet is granted. 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. Page 3-42 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). If the selection is:
IP Access Filtering Disabled, then management access is allowed from any IP address, even if the Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 parameters are populated. IP Access Filtering Enabled, and specify at least one address in the Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 parameter, then management access is limited to the specified address(es). Configuring management IP by DHCP The Configuration > IP web page of every radio contains a LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, DHCP State parameter that, if enabled, causes the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) to be obtained through DHCP instead of the values of those individual parameters. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable, but is not settable, in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. In the SM/BHS, this parameter is settable in the NAT tab of the Configuration web page, but only if NAT is enabled. in the IP tab of the Configuration web page, but only if the Network Accessibility parameter in the IP tab is set to Public. DHCP option 81 The DHCP server can be used to register and update the pointer (PTR) and host (A) DNS resource records on behalf of its DHCP-enabled clients. The DHCP option 81 permits the client to provide its fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as well as instructions to the DHCP server on how it would like the server to process DNS dynamic updates
(if any) on its behalf. The hostname is poplulated as SiteName.DomainName depending upon following conditions:
If Sitename is default i.e. No Site Name , mac address will be used instead. The SiteName should only be a-z | A-Z | 0-9 and period(.) and dash(-). The domain name part should not start or end with dash (-). The underscore or space in domain name part will be converted to dash(-), anything else apart from valid characters will be skipped. Page 3-43 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. When set to Disabled, the AP does NOT allow PPPoE PADI packets to be sent out of the AP RF interface (downstream) but will allow PPPoE PADI packets to enter the RF interface (upstream) and exit the Ethernet interface.

Page 4-23 Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Compliance with safety standards Calculation of power density The following calculation is based on the ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991 method, as that provides a worst case analysis. Details of the assessment to EN50383:2002 can be provided, if required. Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
Where:
S P G d Is:
power density in W/m2 maximum average transmit power capability of the radio, in W total Tx gain as a factor, converted from dB distance from point source, in m Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields:
Calculated distances and power compliance margins Table 69 and Table 71 shows calculated minimum separation distances, recommended distances and resulting margins for each frequency band and antenna combination for the USA and Canada. These are conservative distances that include compliance margins. At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below generally accepted limits for the general population. PMP 450 platform equipment adheres to all applicable EIRP limits for transmit power when operating in MIMO mode. Separation distances and compliance margins include compensation for both transmitters. Explanation of terms used in Table 69 and Table 71:

Regulatory Requirements for CEPT Member States
(www.cept.org) When operated in accordance with the instructions for use, Cambium Wireless equipment operating in the 5.1 GHz and 5.4 GHz bands is compliant with CEPT Resolution 229 (REV. WRC-12). Operating the PMP/PTP 450 platform in the bands 5150 to 5350 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz is granted providing it is not causing interference to the existing primary services allocated to those bands. For compliant operation in the 5250 to 5350 MHz band, the transmit power from the integrated antenna or a connectorized antenna shall be limited to a maximum mean EIRP of 200 mW and a maximum mean EIRP density of 10 mW/MHz in any 1 MHz band. Page 4-33 Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Compliance with radio regulations For compliant operation in the 5470 to 5725 MHz band, the transmit power shall be restricted to a maximum of 250 mW with a maximum mean EIRP of 1 W and a maximum mean EIRP density of 50 mW/MHz in any 1 MHz band. For compliant operation in the bands 5 250-5 350 MHz and 5 470-5 725 MHz, the PMP/PTP 450 platform employs transmitter power control. For EU member states, RLAN equipment in the 5.4GHz bands is exempt from individual licensing under Commission Recommendation 2003/203/EC. Contact the appropriate national administrations for details on the conditions of use for the bands in question and any exceptions that might apply. Also see www.ero.dk for further information. Cambium Radio equipment operating in the 5470 to 5725 MHz band are categorized as Class 1 devices within the EU in accordance with ECC DEC(04)08 and are CE marked to show compliance with the European Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment
(R&TTE) directive 1999/5/EC. The relevant Declaration of Conformity can be found at http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support/ec_doc/ . A European Commission decision, implemented by Member States on 31 October 2005, makes the frequency band 5470-5725 MHz available in all EU Member States for wireless access systems. Under this decision, the designation of Canopy 5.4GHz products become Class 1 devices and these do not require notification under article 6, section 4 of the R&TTE Directive. Consequently, these 5.4GHz products are only marked with the symbol and may be used in any member state. Page 4-34 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation This chapter describes how to stage and test the hardware for a PMP 450 platform network. This chapter is arranged as follows:
Safety on page 5-2: Describes the precautions to be observed and checks to be performed before proceeding with the installation Preparing for installation on page 5-5: Describes the pre-configuration procedure before proceed with installation. Testing system components on page 5-7: Describes the procedures for unpacking and performing and initial staging of the PMP/PTP 450 platform equipment Configuring Link for Test on page 5-15: Describes the procedures for testing the equipments radio links. Page 5-1 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Safety Safety Warning To prevent loss of life or physical injury, observe the following safety guidelines. In no event shall Cambium Networks be liable for any injury or damage caused during the installation of the Cambium PMP/PTP 450 platform. Ensure that only qualified personnel install a PMP/PTP 450 platform link. Power lines Exercise extreme care when working near power lines. Working at heights Exercise extreme care when working at heights. Power supply Always use one of the Cambium PMP/PTP 450 platform Series power supply units (PSU) to power the ODU. Failure to use a Cambium supplied PoE could result in equipment damage and will invalidate the safety certification and may cause a safety hazard. Grounding and protective earth The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It is the users responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with national regulations. In the USA follow the requirements of the National Electrical code NFPA 70-2005 and 780-2004 Installation of Lightning Protection Systems. In Canada, follow Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. Other regulations may apply in different countries and therefore it is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer. Powering down before servicing Always power down and unplug the equipment before servicing. Page 5-2 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Safety Primary disconnect device The ODU power supply is the primary disconnect device. External cables Safety may be compromised if outdoor rated cables are not used for connections that will be exposed to the outdoor environment. For outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet interfaces, always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel. RF exposure near the antenna Strong radio frequency (RF) fields will be present close to the antenna when the transmitter is on. Always turn off the power to the ODU before undertaking maintenance activities in front of the antenna. Minimum separation distances Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units start to radiate RF energy as soon as they are powered up. Never work in front of the antenna when the ODU is powered. Install the ODUs so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from all persons. For minimum separation distances, see Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-24. Grounding and lightning protection requirements Ensure that the installation meets the requirements defined in Grounding and lightning protection on page 3-8. Grounding cable installation methods To provide effective protection against lightning induced surges, observe these requirements:
Grounding conductor runs are as short, straight and smooth as possible, with bends and curves kept to a minimum. Grounding cables must not be installed with drip loops. All bends must have a minimum radius of 200 mm (8 in) and a minimum angle of 90. A diagonal run is preferable to a bend, even though it does not follow the contour or run parallel to the supporting structure. All bends, curves and connections must be routed towards the grounding electrode system, ground rod, or ground bar. Page 5-3 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Safety Grounding conductors must be securely fastened. Braided grounding conductors must not be used. Approved bonding techniques must be used for the connection of dissimilar metals. Siting ODUs and antennas ODUs, external antennas and GPS receivers are not designed to survive direct lightning strikes. For this reason they must be installed in Zone B as defined in Lightning protection zones on page 3-9. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment, structures and life at risk. Thermal Safety The ODU enclosure may be hot to the touch when in operation. The ODU must not be operated in ambient temperatures exceeding 40C unless mounted in a Restricted Access Location. For more information, see ODU ambient temperature limits on page 3-10. Warning Do not install the ODU in a location where the ambient temperature could exceed 40C unless this is a Restricted Access Location as defined by EN 60950-1. Alerte Lunit externe ne doit pas tre installe dans un endroit o la temprature ambiante est suprieure 40C moins que laccs soit limit au personnel autoris. Page 5-4 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Preparing for installation Preparing for installation ODU pre-configuration It is common practice to pre-configure the units during staging before site installation by performing the following tasks:
Connecting to the unit Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Upgrading the software version and using CNUT General configuration Configuring security Configuring radio parameters Setting up SNMP agent Configuring syslog Configuring remote access Monitoring the Link Configuring quality of service Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Configuring Radio via config file Configuring a RADIUS server If the units are to be pre-configured during staging, the safety precautions below MUST be observed. Preparing personnel In no event shall Cambium Networks be liable for any injury or damage caused during the installation of the Cambium PMP/PTP 450 platform equipment. Ensure that only qualified personnel undertake the installation of a PMP/PTP 450 platform system. Ensure that all safety precautions are observed. Preparing inventory Perform the following inventory checks:
Check that the correct components are available, as described in Ordering the components on page 2-43. Check the contents of all packages against their packing lists. Page 5-5 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Preparing for installation Preparing tools Check that following specific tools are available, in addition to general tools:
RJ45 crimp tool (it must be the correct tool for the type of RJ45 being used). Personal Computer (PC) with 10 or 100 or 1000 BaseT Ethernet port Internet Explorer or Firefox Ethernet patch cables Page 5-6 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components Testing system components The best practice is to connect all componentsAP/BHM, SMs/BHS, GPS antenna (if applicable) and CMM (if applicable)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 work-flow affecting. Unpacking Components When a delivery arrives, inspect all packages immediately for damages. Carefully unpack the equipment, verify that all the components have arrived as per order and are in good condition. Save all packaging materials for equipment transportation to the installation site. Preparing the ODU After the equipment is unpacked, the units may be configured for staging tests. Use either of two methods to configure an AP/BHM:
Use the Quick Start feature of the product (via GUI menu Quick Start) Manually set each parameter After changing configuration parameters on a GUI web page:
Before you leave a web page, click the Save button to save the change(s) After making change(s) on multiple web pages, click the Reboot button to reboot the module and implement the change(s) Configuring the Computing Device for Test If the computer is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), disconnect the computer from the network. If the computer is instead configured for static IP addressing Set the static address in the 169.254 network Set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. For detailed instructions, see section Configuring the management PC on page 5-15. Page 5-7 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components Factory default Configuration From the factory, the APs/BHMs and SMs/BHSs are all configured to not transmit on any frequency. This configuration ensures that equipment operators 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. when one module transmits while an unintended module nearby receives signal, the transmitting module may interfere with or desense the receiving module. In this context, interference is self-interference (within the same network). ODU interfaces See section PMP/PTP 450 platform interfaces on page 2-7 ODU diagnostic LEDs See section AP/BHM LEDs on page 2-12. See section SM/BHS LEDs on page 2-13. Recommended Tools for Installation The following tools may be needed for installation:

through or crossover. Operators may use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect a network interface card (NIC), hub, router, or switch to these modules. For a straight-through cable, use the EIA/TIA-568B wire color-code standard on both ends. For a crossover cable, use the EIA/TIA-568B wire color-code standard on one end, and the EIA/TIA-568A wire color-code standard on the other end. Page 5-9 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components Best Practices for Cabling The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
Use only shielded cables to resist interference. For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief. Include a 2-ft (0.6-m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed. Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the device. Properly crimp all connectors. Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion. Use only shielded connectors to resist interference and corrosion. Wiring Connectors The following diagrams correlate pins to wire colors and illustrate crossovers where applicable. Pin 1, relative to the lock tab on the connector of a straight-through cable is located as shown below.

Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor on page 6-3 describes how to mount and ground an integrated or connectorized ODU, how to mount and ground the top LPU. Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface on page 6-17 describes how to install the copper Cat5e power over Ethernet interface from the ODU to the PSU. Installing external antennas to a connectorized ODU on page 6-21 describes how to install external antennas for a connectorized ODU. Installing ODU on page 6-56 describes how to install PTP and PMP ODU radios. Installing the AC Power Injector on page 6-61 describes how to install a power supply unit for the PMP/PTP 450 platform, either the AC Power Injector. Supplemental installation information on page 6-64 contains detailed installation procedures that are not included in the above topics, such as how to strip cables, create grounding points and weatherproof connectors. Note These instructions assume that LPUs are being installed from the PMP/PTP 450 platform LPU and grounding kit (Cambium part number C000065L007). If the installation does not require LPUs, adapt these instructions as appropriate. If LPUs are being installed, only use the five black-capped EMC cable glands supplied in the LPU and grounding kit. The silver-capped cable glands supplied in the ODU kits must only be used in PMP/PTP 450 platform installations which do not require LPUs.

General protection installation To adequately protect a 450 platform installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are required. Basic requirements The following basic protection requirements must be implemented:
ODU must be in Zone B (see Lightning protection zones on page 3-9). ODU must be grounded to the supporting structure. A surge suppression unit must be installed on the outside of the building. Page 6-12 Chapter 6: Installation Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor The distance between the ODU and Gigabit Surge Suppressor should be kept to a minimum. The drop cable must not be laid alongside a lightning air terminal. All grounding cables must be a minimum size of 10 mm2 csa (8AWG), preferably 16 mm2 csa
(6AWG), or 25 mm2 csa (4AWG). Grounding cable requirements When routing, fastening and connecting grounding cables, the following requirements must be implemented:
Grounding conductors must be run as short, straight, and smoothly as possible, with the fewest possible number of bends and curves. Grounding cables must not be installed with drip loops. All bends must have a minimum radius of 203 mm (8 in) and a minimum angle of 90 (Figure 50). A diagonal run is preferable to a bend, even though it does not follow the contour or run parallel to the supporting structure. All bends, curves and connections must be routed towards the grounding electrode system, ground rod, or ground bar. Grounding conductors must be securely fastened. Braided grounding conductors must not be used. Approved bonding techniques must be used for the connection of dissimilar metals. Figure 50 Grounding cable minimum bend radius and angle Caution Do not attach grounding cables to the ODU mounting bracket bolts, as this arrangement will not provide full protection. Page 6-13 Chapter 6: Installation Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor Protection requirements for a mast or tower installation If the ODU is to be mounted on a metal tower or mast, then in addition to the general protection requirements (above), the following requirements must be observed:
The equipment must be lower than the top of the tower or its lightning air terminal. The metal tower or mast must be correctly grounded. Schematic examples of mast or tower installations are shown in Figure 51. Figure 51 Grounding and lightning protection on mast or tower Protection requirements for a wall installation If the ODU is to be mounted on the wall of a building, then in addition to the general protection requirements (above), the following requirements must be observed:
The equipment must be lower than the top of the building or its lightning air terminal. The building must be correctly grounded.

(Figure 32) and the equipment room is several floors below. The following additional requirements must be observed:
The ODU must be below the lightning terminals and finials. A grounding conductor must be installed around the roof perimeter to form the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring. Air terminals are typically installed along the length of the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring typically every 6.1m (20ft). The main roof perimeter lightning protection ring must contain at least two down conductors connected to the grounding electrode system. The down conductors should be physically separated from one another, as far as practical. Figure 53 Grounding and lightning protection on building Page 6-16 Chapter 6: Installation Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface To install the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface, use the following procedures:
Install the main drop cable on page 6-17 Install the bottom LPU to PSU drop cable on page 6-19 Installing external antennas to a connectorized ODU on page 6-21 Caution To avoid damage to the installation, do not connect or disconnect the drop cable when power is applied to the PSU or network terminating equipment. Caution Always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel. Alternative types of Cat5e cable are not supported by Cambium Networks. Cambium Networks supply this cable (Cambium part numbers WB3175 and WB3176), RJ45 connectors (Cambium part number WB3177) and a crimp tool (Cambium part number WB3211). The LPU and grounding kit contains a 600 mm length of this cable. Install the main drop cable Warning The metal screen of the drop cable is very sharp and may cause personal injury. ALWAYS wear cut-resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut resistant). ALWAYS wear protective eyewear. ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable (DO NOT use a bladed knife). Warning Failure to obey the following precautions may result in injury or death:
Use the proper hoisting grip for the cable being installed. If the wrong hoisting grip is used, slippage or insufficient gripping strength will result. Do not reuse hoisting grips. Used grips may have lost elasticity, stretched, or become weakened. Reusing a grip can cause the cable to slip, break, or fall. The minimum requirement is one hoisting grip for each 60 m (200 ft) of cable. Page 6-17 Chapter 6: Installation Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface Cut to length and fit hoisting grips 1 Cut the main drop cable to length from the top LPU to the bottom LPU. 2 Slide one or more hoisting grips onto the top end of the drop cable. 3 Secure the hoisting grip to the cable using a special tool, as recommended by the manufacturer. Terminate with RJ45 connectors Caution Check that the crimp tool matches the RJ45 connector, otherwise the cable or connector may be damaged. 1 Strip the cable outer sheath and fit the RJ45 connector load bar. 2 Fit the RJ45 connector housing as shown. To ensure there is effective strain relief, locate the cable inner sheath under the connector housing tang.

Attaching the PMP 450 AP to the antenna To attach a PMP 450 Series AP to the antenna, perform the following steps. Page 6-32 Chapter 6: Installation Installing external antennas to a connectorized ODU Note Use shielded cable for all infrastructure connections associated with APs, SMs, and CMMs. The environment that these modules operate in often has significant unknown or varying RF energy. Operator experience consistently indicates that the additional cost of shielded cables is more than compensated by predictable operation and reduced costs for troubleshooting and support. 1 Attach the included bracket to the rear of the AP using the (4) M5 x 7mm bolts Figure 74 Attaching bracket to the rear of the AP 2 Attach the AP to the antenna by sliding the bracket onto the bolts and tighten the (4) serrated flange nuts using a 13 mm spanner wrench.

Figure 77 Attaching the AP antenna upper bracket to the pole 2 Attach the lower bracket of the antenna to the mount point by closing the rear strap around the pole and tightening the (2) serrated flange nuts using a 13mm spanner wrench. These must be tightened evenly on the pole to avoid jumping/stripping threads. Figure 78 Attaching the AP antenna lower bracket to the pole 3 Use a local map, compass, and/or GPS device as needed to determine the direction that one or more APs require to each cover the 90 sector. Page 6-35 Chapter 6: Installation Installing external antennas to a connectorized ODU 4 Choose the best mounting location for your particular application. 5 6 7 Note Use the embedded spectrum analyzer or a commercial analyzer to evaluate the frequencies present in various locations. OFDM APs need not be mounted next to each other. They can be distributed throughout a given site. However, the 90 offset must be maintained. If you want to collocate these APs with PMP 100 Series APs of the 5.4-GHz frequency band range, plan to allow at least 25 MHz of separation between their center channels. Secure a ground strap to the ground lug on the back of the AP. Secure the ground strap to the pole, tower, or other trusted ground. The bracket of the standard antenna has provision for measured down tilt. The recommended practice is to use one of the many radio analysis and mapping tools or on-
line tools to calculate down tilt based on antenna height above the service area. 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. The number of degrees to offset (from vertical) the mounting hardware leg of the support tube is equal to the angle of elevation from the lower module to the higher module (<B in the example provided in Figure 43).

Page 6-65 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information 4 Tighten the cable ties with pliers. Cut the surplus from the cable ties. 5 Cut a 38mm (1.5 inches) section of self-amalgamating tape and wrap it completely around the joint between the drop and ground cables. 6 Use the remainder of the self-amalgamating tape to wrap the complete assembly. Press the tape edges together so that there are no gaps. Page 6-66 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information 7 Wrap a layer of PVC tape from bottom to top, starting from 25 mm (1 inch) below and finishing 25 mm (1 inch) above the edge of the self-amalgamating tape, overlapping at half width. 8 Repeat with a further four layers of PVC tape, always overlapping at half width. Wrap the layers in alternate directions (top to bottom, then bottom to top). The edges of each layer should be 25mm (1 inch) above (A) and 25 mm (1 inch) below (B) the previous layer. 9 Prepare the metal grounding point of the supporting structure to provide a good electrical contact with the grounding cable clamp. Remove paint, grease or dirt, if present. Apply anti-
oxidant compound liberally between the two metals. 10 Clamp the bottom lug of the grounding cable to the supporting structure using site approved methods. Use a two-hole lug secured with fasteners in both holes. This provides better protection than a single-hole lug. Page 6-67 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information Attaching and weatherproofing an N type connector The following procedure should be used to weatherproof the N type connectors fitted to the connectorized ODU (AP/SM/BH) and antenna. This procedure must be followed to ensure that there is no moisture ingress at the radio ports. Failure to properly seal N-type antenna connectors can result in poor link performance or complete loss of radio communication. Note Cambium recommends to assemble the antenna, attach the ODU and cabling, and to seal the RF connections before installing the unit at the deployment site. Note N type connectors should be tightened using a torque wrench, set to 15 lb in or 1.7 Nm. If a torque wrench is not available, N type connectors may be finger tightened. Use this procedure to weatherproof the N type connectors fitted to the connectorized ODU and external antenna (if recommended by the antenna manufacturer). 1 Ensure the connection is tight. A torque wrench should be used if available:
2 Wrap the connection with a layer of 19 mm (0.75 inch) PVC tape, starting 25 mm (1 inch) below the connector body. Overlap the tape to half-width and extend the wrapping to the body of the LPU. Avoid making creases or wrinkles:
Page 6-68 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information 3 Smooth the tape edges:
4 Cut a 125mm (5 inches) length of rubber tape (self-amalgamating):
5 Expand the width of the tape by stretching it so that it will wrap completely around the connector and cable:
6 Press the tape edges together so that there are no gaps. The tape should extend 25 mm
(1 inch) beyond the PVC tape:
Page 6-69 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information 7 Wrap a layer of 50 mm (2 inch) PVC tape from bottom to top, starting from 25 mm (1 inch) below the edge of the self-amalgamating tape, overlapping at half width. 8 Repeat with a further four layers of 19 mm (0.75 inch) PVC tape, always overlapping at half width. Wrap the layers in alternate directions:
Second layer: top to bottom. Third layer: bottom to top. Fourth layer: top to bottom. Fifth layer: bottom to top. The bottom edge of each layer should be 25 mm (1 inch) below the previous layer. 9 Check the completed weatherproof connection:

Safety precautions All national and local safety standards must be followed while configuring the units and aligning the antennas. Warning Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units start to radiate RF energy as soon as they are powered up. Respect the safety standards defined in Compliance with safety standards on page 4-22, in particular the minimum separation distances. Observe the following guidelines:
Never work in front of the antenna when the ODU is powered. Always power down the PSU before connecting or disconnecting the drop cable from the PSU, ODU or LPU. Regulatory compliance All applicable radio regulations must be followed while configuring the units and aligning the antennas. For more information, refer to Compliance with radio regulations on page 4-31. Caution If the system designer has provided a list of channels to be barred for TDWR radar avoidance, the affected channels must be barred before the units are allowed to radiate on site, otherwise the regulations will be infringed. Attention Si le concepteur du systme a fourni une liste de canaux interdire pour viter les radars TDWR, les cannaux concernes doivent tre interdits avant que les units sont autorises mettre sur le site, sinon la rglementation peut tre enfreinte.

Configuring time settings Applicable products PMP : AP PTP: BHM To proceed with the test setup, click the Configuration link on the left side of the General Status page. When the AP responds by opening the Configuration page to the General page, click the Time tab. Figure 105 Time tab of the AP/BHM To have each log in the AP/BHM correlated to a meaningful time and date, either a reliable network element must pass time and date to the AP/BHM or you must set the time and date whenever a power cycle of the AP/BHM has occurred. A network element passes time and date in any of the following scenarios:
A connected CMM4 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received). A separate NTP server is addressable from the AP/BHM. If the AP/BHM should obtain time and date from a CMM4, or a separate NTP server, enter the IP address of the CMM4 or NTP server on this tab. To force the AP/BHM to obtain time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP server, click Get Time through NTP.

Procedure 13 Entering AP/BHM time setup information 1 2 Enter the appropriate information in the format shown above. Then click the Set Time and Date button. Note The time displayed at the top of this page is static unless your browser is set to automatically refresh Powering the SM/BHS for test Procedure 14 Powering the SM/BHS for test 1 In one hand, securely hold the top (larger shell) of the SM/BHS. With the other hand, depress the lever in the back of the base cover (smaller shell). Remove the base cover. 2 3 4 5 Plug one end of a CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the SM PSU port Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the jack in the pig tail that hangs from the power supply Roughly aim the SM/BHS toward the AP/BHM Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet Warning From this point until you remove power from the AP/BHM, stay at least as far from the AP/BHM as the minimum separation distance specified in Calculated distances and power compliance margins. 6 Repeat the foregoing steps for each SM/BHS that you wish to include in the test. Page 7-88 Chapter 7: Configuration Quick link setup Viewing the Session Status of the AP/BHM to determine test registration Once the SMs/BHS under test are powered on, return to the computing device to determine if the SM/BHS units have registered to the AP/BHM. Note In order for accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. The Session Status tab provides information about each SM/BHS that has registered to the AP/BHM. This information is useful for managing and troubleshooting a system. All information that you have entered in the Site Name field of the SM/BHS displays in the Session Status tab of the linked AP/BHM. The Session Status tab also includes the current active values on each SM( or BHS) (LUID) for MIR, and VLAN, as well as the source of these values (representing the SM/BHS itself, Authentication Server, or the AP/BHM and cap, if anyfor example, APCAP as shown above).. As an SM/BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the configuration source that this page displays for the associated LUID may change. After registration, however, the displayed source is stable and can be trusted. Idle subscribers may be included or removed from the session status display by enabling or disabling, respectively, the Show Idle Sessions parameter. Enabling or disabling this parameter only affects the GUI display of subscribers, not the registration status. The SessionStatus.xml hyperlink allows user to export session status page from web management interface of AP/BHM. The session status page will be exported in xml file.

Procedure 16 Configuring the AP/BHM IP interface 1 Select menu option Configuration > IP. The LAN configuration page is displayed:
2 3 4 Update IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address to meet network requirements (as specified by the network administrator). Review the other IP interface attributes and update them, if necessary (see Table 85 IP interface attributes). Click Save. Reboot Required message is displayed:
5 Click Reboot. The IP page of AP/SM/BHM/BHS is explained in Table 85. Page 7-93 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 85 IP interface attributes Attribute Meaning IP Address Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Subnet Mask Defines the address range of the connected IP network. The IP address of a computer on the current network that acts as a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets from and to other networks. DHCP state If Enabled is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable (read only), in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. DNS IP Address Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. DNS servers may be configured automatically from the DHCP response when DHCP is enabled for the management interface of the device. Optionally devices may be configured to set the DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is enabled for the management interface. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS The first address used for DNS resolution. Server Alternate DNS If the Preferred DNS server cannot be reached, the Alternate DNS Server Server is used. Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Page 7-94 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces LAN2 Network It is recommended not to change this parameter from the default Interface AP/BHM private IP address of 192.168.101.1. A /24 CIDR subnet is used to Configuration (Radio communicate with each of the SMs/BHS that are registered.

Page 7-96 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT, DHCP Server, DHCP Client and DMZ Applicable products PMP :
SM The system provides NAT (Network Address Translation) for SMs in the following combinations of NAT and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
NAT Disabled NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP Server NAT with DHCP Client(DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) NAT with DHCP Server NAT without DHCP NAT NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic
(separate from its address for management), terminates transport traffic and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. 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. Note When NAT is enabled, a reduction in throughput is introduced in the system (due to processing overhead). DHCP DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each SM provides the following:
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. Page 7-97 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DMZ In conjunction with the NAT features, a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) allows the allotment of one IP address behind the SM for a device to logically exist outside the firewall and receive network traffic. The first three octets of this IP address must be identical to the first three octets of the NAT private IP address. 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. NAT Disabled The NAT Disabled implementation is illustrated in Figure 108. Figure 108 NAT disabled implementation NAT with DHCP Client and DHCP Server The NAT with DHCP Client and DHCP server is illustrated in Figure 109. Page 7-98 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Figure 109 NAT with DHCP client and DHCP server implementation NAT with DHCP Client Figure 110 NAT with DHCP client implementation Page 7-99 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT with DHCP Server Figure 111 NAT with DHCP server implementation NAT without DHCP Figure 112 NAT without DHCP implementation Page 7-100 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT and VPNs VPN technology provides the benefits of a private network during communication over a public network. One typical use of a VPN is to connect employees remotely (who are at home or in a different city), with their corporate network through a public Internet. Any of several VPN implementation schemes is possible. By design, NAT translates or changes addresses, and thus interferes with a VPN that is not specifically supported by a given NAT implementation. With NAT enabled, SM supports L2TP over IPSec (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol over IP Security) VPNs and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPNs. With NAT disabled, SM supports all types of VPNs. Page 7-101 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP interface with NAT disabled - SM The IP page of SM with NAT disabled is explained in Table 88. Table 88 IP attributes - SM with NAT disabled Attribute Meaning IP Address Enter the non-routable IP address to associate with the Ethernet connection on this SM. (The default IP address from the factory is 169.254.1.1.) If you forget this parameter, you must both:
physically access the module. use recovery mode to access the module configuration parameters at 169.254.1.1. See Radio recovery mode on page 1-22 Note Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. Network Specify whether the IP address of the SM must be visible to only a Accessibility device connected to the SM by Ethernet (Local) or be visible to the AP/BHM as well (Public). Subnet Mask Enter an appropriate subnet mask for the SM to communicate on the network. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Gateway IP Address Enter the appropriate gateway for the SM to communicate with the network. The default gateway is 169.254.0.0. DHCP state If you select Enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable, but not settable, in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. Page 7-102 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces In this tab, DHCP State is settable only if the Network Accessibility parameter in the IP tab is set to Public. This parameter is also settable in the NAT tab of the Configuration web page, but only when NAT is enabled. If the DHCP state parameter is set to Enabled in the Configuration > IP sub-menu of the SM/BHS, do not check the BootpClient option for Packet Filter Types in its Protocol Filtering tab, because doing so can block the DHCP request. (Filters apply to all packets that leave the SM via its RF interface, including those that the SM itself generates.) If you want to keep DHCP enabled and avoid the blocking scenario, select the Bootp Server option instead. This will result in responses being appropriately filtered and discarded. DHCP DNS IP Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS Address server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. DNS servers may be configured automatically from the DHCP response when DHCP is enabled for the management interface of the device. Optionally devices may be configured to set the DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is enabled for the management interface. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS The first DNS server used for DNS resolution. Server Alternate DNS The second DNS server used for DNS resolution. Server Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Page 7-103 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP interface with NAT enabled - SM The IP page of SM with NAT enabled is explained in Table 89. Table 89 IP attributes - SM with NAT enabled Attribute Meaning IP Address Assign an IP address for SM/BHS management through Ethernet access to the SM/BHS. Set only the first three bytes. The last byte is permanently set to 1. This address becomes the base for the range of DHCP-assigned addresses. Subnet Mask Assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a more restrictive subnet mask. Set only the last byte of this subnet mask. Each of the first three bytes is permanently set to 255. Page 7-104 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT tab with NAT disabled - SM The NAT tab of SM with NAT disabled is explained in Table 90. Table 90 NAT attributes - SM with NAT disabled Page 7-105 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning NAT Enable/Disable This parameter enables or disables the Network Address Translation
(NAT) feature for the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP/BHM, but this may constrain network design. IP Address This field displays the IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. Subnet Mask This field displays the subnet mask for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. Gateway IP Address This field displays the gateway IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. ARP Cache Timeout If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes), enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field is 20 minutes. TCP Session Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter Garbage Timeout to lower than the default value of 120 minutes. This action makes additional resources available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates. UDP Session You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based Garbage Timeout on network performance. The default value of this parameter is 4 minutes. Translation Table Total number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer Size between the connected device and the SM/BHS. Page 7-106 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Note When NAT is disabled, the following parameters are not required to be configurable:

Table 91 NAT attributes - SM with NAT enabled Page 7-108 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning NAT Enable/Disable This parameter enables or disabled the Network Address Translation
(NAT) feature for the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP, but this may constrain network design. WAN Interface The WAN interface is the RF-side address for transport traffic. Connection Type This parameter may be set to Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must be properly populated. DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the DHCP server configures the interface. PPPoEwhen this is the selection, the information from the PPPoE server configures the interface. Subnet Mask If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM for RF transport traffic. Gateway IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM for RF transport traffic. Reply to Ping on By default, the radio interface does not respond to pings. If you use a WAN Interface management system (such as WM) that will occasionally ping the SM, set this parameter to Enabled. LAN Interface The LAN interface is both the management access through the Ethernet port and the Ethernet-side address for transport traffic. When NAT is enabled, this interface is redundantly shown as the NAT Network Interface Configuration on the IP tab of the Configuration web page in the SM. IP Address Assign an IP address for SM/BHS management through Ethernet access to the SM. This address becomes the base for the range of DHCP-
assigned addresses. Subnet Mask Assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a more restrictive subnet mask. Set only the last byte of this subnet mask. Each of the first three bytes is permanently set to 255. DMZ Enable Either enable or disable DMZ for this SM/BHS. Page 7-109 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DMZ IP Address If you enable DMZ in the parameter above, set the last byte of the DMZ host IP address to use for this SM when DMZ is enabled. Only one such address is allowed. The first three bytes are identical to those of the NAT private IP address. Ensure that the device that receives network traffic behind this SM is assigned this address. The system provides a warning if you enter an address within the range that DHCP can assign. DHCP Server This is the server (in the SM) that provides an IP address to the device DHCP Server Enable/Disable connected to the Ethernet port of the SM. Select either Enabled or Disabled. Enable to:
Allow this SM to assign IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway IP addresses to attached devices. Assign a start address for DHCP. Designate how many IP addresses may be temporarily used (leased). Disable to:
Restrict SM/BHS from assigning addresses to attached devices. DHCP Server Lease Based on network performance, enter the number of days between Timeout when the DHCP server assigns an IP address and when that address expires. The range of values for this parameter is 1 to 30 days. The default value is 30 days. DHCP Start IP If you enable DHCP Server below, set the last byte of the starting IP address that the DHCP server assigns. The first three bytes are identical to those of the NAT private IP address. Number of IPs to Enter how many IP addresses the DHCP server is allowed to assign. The Lease default value is 50 addresses. DNS Server Proxy This parameter enables or disables advertisement of the SM/BHS as the DNS server. On initial boot up of a SM with the NAT WAN interface configured as DHCP or PPPoE, the SM module will not have DNS information immediately. With DNS Server Proxy disabled, the clients will renew their lease about every minute until the SM has the DNS information to give out. At this point the SM will go to the full configured lease time period which is 30 days by default. With DNS Server Proxy enabled, the SM will give out full term leases with its NAT LAN IP as the DNS server. DNS IP Address Select either:
Obtain Automatically to allow the system to set the IP address of the DNS server or Set Manually to enable yourself to set both a preferred and an alternate DNS IP address. Preferred DNS IP Enter the preferred DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address Address parameter is set to Set Manually. Page 7-110 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Alternate DNS IP Enter the DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is Address set to Set Manually and no response is received from the preferred DNS IP address. Remote To offer greater flexibility in IP address management, the NAT-enabled Management SMs configured WAN Interface IP address may now be used as the Interface device Remote Management Interface (unless the SMs PPPoE client is set to Enabled) Disable: When this interface is set to Disable, the SM is not directly accessible by IP address. Management access is only possible through either the LAN (Ethernet) interface or a link from an AP web page into the WAN (RF-side) interface. Enable (Standalone Config): When this interface is set to Enable
(Standalone Config), to manage the SM/BHS the device must be accessed by the IP addressing information provided in the Remote Configuration Interface section. Note When configuring PPPoE over the link, use this configuration option (PPPoE traffic is routed via the IP addressing specified in section Remote Configuration Interface). Enable (Use WAN Interface): When this interface is set to Enable (Use WAN Interface), the Remote Configuration Interface information is greyed out, and the SM is managed via the IP addressing specified in section WAN Interface). Note When using this configuration, the ports defined in section Configuration, Port Configuration are consumed by the device. For example, if FTP Port is configured as 21 by the SM, an FTP server situated below the SM must use a port other than 21. This also applies to DMZ devices; any ports specified in section Configuration, Port Configuration will not be translated through the NAT, they is consumed by the devices network stack for management. Connection Type This parameter can be set to:
Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must be properly populated. DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the DHCP server configures the interface. IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the IP address of the SM for RF management traffic. Subnet Mask If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM for RF management traffic. Page 7-111 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Gateway IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM for RF management traffic. Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. DHCP DNS IP Select either:
Address Obtain Automatically to allow the system to set the IP address of the DNS server. or Set Manually to enable yourself to set both a preferred and an alternate DNS IP address. Preferred DNS Enter the preferred DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address Server parameter is set to Set Manually. Alternate DNS Enter the DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is Server set to Set Manually and no response is received from the preferred DNS IP address. Domain Name Domain Name to use for management DNS configuration. This domain name may be concatenated to DNS names used configured for the remote configuration interface. ARP Cache Timeout If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes), enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field is 20 (minutes). TCP Session Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter Garbage Timeout to lower than the default value of 120 (minutes). This action makes additional resources available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates. UDP Session You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based Garbage Timeout on network performance. The default value of this parameter is 4
(minutes). Page 7-112 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT DNS Considerations - SM SM DNS behavior is different depending on the accessibility of the SM. When NAT is enabled the DNS configuration that is discussed in this document is tied to the RF Remote Configuration Interface, which must be enabled to utilize DNS Client functionality. Note that the WAN DNS settings when NAT is enabled are unchanged with the addition of the management DNS feature discussed in this document. Table 92 SM DNS Options with NAT Enabled NAT Management Interface DHCP Status DNS Status Configuration Accessibility RF Remote N/A DNS Disabled Management Interface Disabled NAT Enabled RF Remote DHCP Disabled DNS Static Configuration Management Interface Enabled DHCP Enabled DNS from DHCP or DNS Static Configuration NAT Port Mapping tab - SM The NAT Port Mapping tab of the SM is explained in Table 93. Table 93 NAT Port Mapping attributes - SM Attribute Meaning Port Map 1 to 10 Separate parameters allow you to distinguish NAT ports from each other by assigning a unique combination of port number, protocol for traffic through the port, and IP address for access to the port Page 7-113 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DHCP BHS Applicable products PTP: BHM DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each BHS provides:
A DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the BHS by Ethernet protocol. A DHCP client that receives an IP address for the BHS from a network DHCP server. Reconnecting to the management PC If the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address of the unit have been updated to meet network requirements, then reconfigure the local management PC to use an IP address that is valid for the network. See Configuring the management PC on page 7-73. Once the unit reboots, log in using the new IP address. See Logging into the web interface on page 7-75. VLAN configuration for PMP Applicable products PMP : AP SM VLAN Remarking VLAN Remarking feature allows the user to change the VLAN ID and priority of both upstream and downstream packets at the Ethernet Interface. The remarking configuration is available for:
1. VLAN ID re-marking 2. 802.1p priority re-marking Note For Q-in-Q VLAN tagged frame, re-marking is performed on the outer tag. Page 7-114 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN ID Remarking SM supports the ability to re-mark the VLAN ID on both upstream and downstream VLAN frames at the Ethernet interface. For instance, a configuration can be added to re-mark VLAN ID x to VLAN ID y as shown in Table 94. AP does not support VLAN ID remarking. Table 94 VLAN Remarking Example VLAN frame direction Remarking SM receives VLAN ID x frame at the Ethernet interface, checks the configuration and re-marks to VLAN ID y. So VLAN ID y frame Upstream comes out of APs Ethernet interface. When SM re-marks, a dynamic entry in VLAN membership table for y is added to allow reception of VLAN ID y downstream packet. AP receives VLAN ID y frame at the Ethernet interface and sends to SM. SM accepts the frame as it has an entry in the membership table and re-marks to VLAN ID x. This reverse re- marking is necessary because the downstream devices do not know of re-
marking and are expecting VLAN x frames. This remarking is done just before sending the packet out on Ethernet interface. Downstream 802.1P Remarking AP/BHM and SM/BHS allow re-marking of 802.1p priority bits for the frames received at the Ethernet interface. Priority bits are not re-marked for the packets sent out of Ethernet interface
(reverse direction). Configuration must be added at SM/BHS for upstream frames and at AP/BHM for downstream frames. VLAN Priority Bits configuration VLAN Priority Bits Configuration feature allows the user to configure the three 802.1p bits upon assigning VLAN to an ingress packet. The priority bits configuration is available for:
Default Port VID Provider VID MAC Address mapped Port VID Management VID Default Port VID This VID is used for untagged frames and will correspond to the Q-Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is QinQ). The priority bits used in the Q-tag/C-tag are configurable. The configuration can be:
Page 7-115 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Promote IPv4/IPv6 priority The priority in the IP header is copied to the Q-tag/C-tag. Define priority Specify the priority in the range of 0 to 7. This value is used as priority in the Q-tag/C-tag. MAC Address Mapped VID If a packet arrives at the SM/BHS that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frames Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (QinQ port). The priority bits used in the Q-tag/C-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Provider VID The provider VID is used for the S-tag. The priority bits used in the S-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Provider VID has an extra priority configuration:
Copy inner tag 802.1p priority The priority in the C-tag is copied to the S-tag. Management VID This VID is used to communicate with AP/BHM and SM/BHS for management purposes. The priority bits used in the Q-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Use APs Management VID for ICC connected SM This feature allows the SM to use the APs management VLAN ID when the SM is registered to the AP via ICC. This feature is useful for the customer who uses a different management VID for the SM and AP and Zero Touch feature is enabled for configuration. This parameter may be accessed via the Configuration > VLAN page on the APs web management interface. Page 7-116 Chapter 7: Configuration VLAN page of AP The VLAN tab of the AP/BHM is explained in Table 95. Table 95 AP/BHM VLAN tab attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Specify whether VLAN functionality for the AP and all linked SMs must
(Enabled) or may not (Disabled) be allowed. The default value is Disabled. Always use Local Enable this option before you reboot this AP as a SM to use it to perform VLAN Config spectrum analysis. Once the spectrum analysis completes, disable this option before you reboot the module as an AP, Allow Frame Types Select the type of arriving frames that the AP must tag, using the VID that is stored in the Untagged Ingress VID parameter. The default value is All Frames. Dynamic Learning Specify whether the AP must (Enabled) or not (Disabled) add the VLAN IDs (VIDs) of upstream frames to the VID table. (The AP passes frames with VIDs that are stored in the table both upstream and downstream.). The default value is Enabled. Page 7-117 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN Aging Timeout Specify how long the AP must keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). Note VIDs that you enter for the Management VID and VLAN Membership parameters do not time out. Management VID Enter the VID that the operator wishes to use to communicate with the module manager. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. QinQ EtherType Modules can be configured with 802.1ad Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) tagging which is a way for an operator to put an 802.1Q VLAN inside of an 802.1ad VLAN. A nested VLAN, which is the original 802.1Q tag and a new second 802.1ad tag, allows for bridging of VLAN traffic across a network and segregates the broadcast domains of 802.1Q VLANs. Q-in-Q can be used with PPPoE and/or NAT. The 802.1ad standard defines the S-VLAN as the Service Provider VLAN and the C-VLAN as the customer VLAN. The radio software does 2 layer Q-in-Q whereby the C-VLAN is the 802.1Q tag and the S-VLAN is the second layer Q tag as shown below:
Table 96 Q-in-Q Ethernet frame Ethernet S-VLAN C-VLAN EthType IP Data EthType Header EthType 0x88a8 0x8100 0x0800 The 802.1ad S-VLAN is the outer VLAN that is configurable on the Configuration > VLAN web page of the AP. The Q-in-Q EtherType parameter is configured with a default EtherType of 0x88a8 in addition to four alternate EtherTypes that can be configured to aid in interoperability with existing networks that use a different EtherType than the default. The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top level concept, this operates on the outermost tag at any given time, either pushing a tag on or popping a tag off. This means packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag pushed on) or an untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag popped off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.1Q frame (with the tag popped off) since the radio software only supports 2 levels of tags Use AP's This field allows the SM to use the APs management VLAN ID when the Management VID for SM is registered to the AP via ICC. ICC connected SM Page 7-118 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN Not Active When VLAN is enabled in the AP, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. VLAN Membership For each VLAN in which you want the AP to be a member, enter the Table Configuration VLAN ID and then click the Add Member button. Similarly, for any VLAN in which you want the AP to no longer be a member, enter the VLAN ID and then click the Remove Member button. VLAN Membership This field lists the VLANs that an AP is a member of. As the user adds a table number between 1 and 4094, this number is populated here. Source VLAN
(Range: 1-4094) Enter the VID for which the operator wishes to remark the 802.1p priority for the downstream packets. The range of values is 1 to 4094. The default value is 1. Remark Priority This is the priority you can assign to the VLAN Tagged packet. Priority of
(Range 0-7) 0 is the highest. VLAN Remarking As the user enters a VLAN and a Remarking priority, this information is table added in this table. Page 7-119 Chapter 7: Configuration VLAN page of SM The VLAN tab of SM/BHS is explained in Table 97. Table 97 SM VLAN attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Port Type By default this is Q, indicating that it is to operate in the existing manner. The other option is Q-in-Q, which indicates that it must be adding and removing the S-Tag, and adding a C-Tag if necessary for untagged packets. The VLAN Port type corresponds to the Ethernet port of the SM/BHS. Currently, the internal management interfaces will always operate as Q ports. Page 7-120 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Accept QinQ Frames This option is valid for the Q-in-Q port so that the user may force blocking of existing 802.1ad Q-in-Q frames. This way, only untagged or single tagged packets will come in and out of the Ethernet interface. If a Q-in-Q frame is about ingress or egress the Ethernet interface and this is disabled, it is dropped and a filter entry will show up on the VLAN Statistics page as DVLAN Egress or DVLAN Ingress. Allow Frame Types Select the type of arriving frames that the SM must tag, using the VID that is stored in the Untagged Ingress VID parameter. The default value is All Frames. Tagged Frames Only: The SM only tags incoming VLAN-tagged frames Untagged Frames Only: The SM will only tag incoming untagged frames Dynamic Learning Specify whether the SM must (Enable) or not (Disable) add the VIDs of upstream frames (that enter the SM through the wired Ethernet interface) to the VID table. The default value is Enable. VLAN Aging Timeout Specify how long the SM/BHS must keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). Note VIDs that you enter for the Untagged Ingress VID and Management VID parameters do not time out. Management VID Enter the VID that the SM/BHS must share with the AP/BHM. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. SM Management Specify whether to allow the SM/BHS (Enabled) or the AP/RADIUS VID Pass-through
(Disabled) to control the VLAN settings of this SM. The default value is Enabled. When VLAN is enabled in the AP to whom this SM is registered, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. If disabled, MVID traffic is not allowed to or from the SM wired interface. Also, if Management VID is the same as a Port VID (Default or MAC-
based), then this setting is ignored and assumed to be Enabled. Default Port VID This is the VID that is used for untagged frames and will correspond to the Q-Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is Q-in- Q). Page 7-121 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Port VID MAC These parameters allow operators to place specific devices onto Address Mapping different VLANs (802.1Q tag or 802.1ad C-tag) based on the source MAC address of the packet. If the MAC address entry is 00-00-00-00-00-
00 then that entry is not used. If a packet arrives at the SM that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frames Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (Q-
in-Q port). If there is no match, then the Default Port VID is used. This table is also used in the downstream direction for removal of the tag based on the destination MAC address so that an untagged (for Q port) or Q-Tagged (for Q-in-Q port) frame is delivered to the end device. You may use wildcards for the non-OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) portion of the MAC address, which is the last 3 bytes. MAC addresses contain 6 bytes, the first 3 of which are the OUI of the vendor that manufactured the device and the last 3 are unique to that vendor OUI. If you want to cover all devices from a known vendors OUI, you have to specify 0xFF for the remaining 3 bytes. So, for example, if you wanted all devices from a specific vendor with an OUI of 00-95-5b
(which is a Netgear OUI) to be on the same VID of 800, you have to specify an entry with MAC address 00-95-5b-ff-ff-ff. Then, any device underneath of the SM with MAC addresses starting with 00-95-5b is put on VLAN 800. Provider VID The provider VID is used for the S-tag. It is only used if the Port Type is Q-in-Q and will always be used for the S-tag. If an existing 802.1Q frame arrives, the Provider VID is what is used for adding and removing of the outer S-tag. If an untagged frame arrives to a Q-in-Q port, then the Provider VID is the S-tag and the Default Port VID (or Port VID MAC Address Mapping, if valid) is used for the C-tag. Active Configuration, This is the value of the parameter of the same name, configured above. Default Port VID Active Configuration, This is the listing of the MAC address VIDs configured in Port VID MAC MAC Address VID Address Mapping. Map Active Configuration, This is the value of the parameter of the same name, configured above. Management VID Active Configuration, This is the value of the parameter of the same name, configured above. SM Management VID Pass-Through Active Configuration, This is the value of the VLAN Aging Timeout parameter configured Dynamic Aging above. Timeout Active Configuration, Yes is displayed if the value of the Dynamic Learning parameter above is Allow Learning Enabled. No is displayed if the value of Dynamic Learning is Disabled. Page 7-122 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Active Configuration, This displays the selection that was made from the drop-down list at the Allow Frame Type Allow Frame Types parameter above. Active Configuration, This is set to Enabled if VLAN Port Type is set to QinQ, and is set to QinQ Disabled if VLAN Port Type is set to Q. Active Configuration, This is the value of the QinQ EtherType configured in the AP. QinQ EthType Active Configuration, This is the value of Accept QinQ Frames, configured above. Allow QinQ Tagged Frames Active Configuration, This column lists the ID numbers of the VLANs in which this module is a Current VID Member member, whether through assignment or through dynamic learning. Set, VID Number Active Configuration, For each VID number in the first column, the entry in this column Current VID Member correlates the way in which the module became and continues to be a Set, Type member:
PermanentThis indicates that the module was assigned the VID number through direct configuration by the operator. DynamicThis indicates that the module adopted the VID number through enabled dynamic learning, when a tagged packet from a SM behind it in the network or from a customer equipment that is behind the SM in this case, was read. Active Configuration, For each VID number in the first column of the table, the entry in this Current VID Member column reflects whether or when the VID number will time out:
Set, Age Permanent type - Number never times out and this is indicated by the digit 0. Dynamic type - Age reflects what is configured in the VLAN Aging Timeout parameter in the Configuration => VLAN tab of the AP or reflects a fewer number of minutes that represents the difference between what was configured and what has elapsed since the VID was learned. Each minute, the Age decreases by one until, at zero, the AP deletes the learned VID, but can it again from packets sent by elements that are beneath it in the network. Note Values in this Active Configuration block can differ from attempted values in configurations:
The AP can override the value that the SM has configured for SM Management VID Pass-Through. Page 7-123 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN Membership tab of SM The Configuration > VLAN > VLAN Membership tab is explained in Table 98. Table 98 SM VLAN Membership attributes Attribute Meaning VLAN Membership For each VLAN in which you want the AP to be a member, enter the Table Configuration VLAN ID and then click the Add Member button. Similarly, for any VLAN in which you want the AP to no longer be a member, enter the VLAN ID and then click the Remove Member button. VLAN configuration for PTP Applicable products PTP: BHM BMS VLAN page of BHM The VLAN tab of BHS is explained in Table 99. Table 99 BHM VLAN page attributes Page 7-124 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Specify whether VLAN functionality for the BHM and all linked BHS must be (Enabled) or may not (Disabled) be allowed. The default value is Disabled. VLAN Port Type By default this is Q, indicating that it is to operate in the existing manner. The other option is Q-in-Q, which indicates that it must be adding and removing the S-Tag, and adding a C-Tag if necessary for untagged packets. The VLAN Port type corresponds to the Ethernet port of the BHS. Currently, the internal management interfaces will always operate as Q ports. Accept QinQ Frames This option is valid for the Q-in-Q port so that the user may force blocking of existing 802.1ad Q-in-Q frames. This way, only untagged or single tagged packets will come in and out of the Ethernet interface. If a Q-in-Q frame is about ingress or egress the Ethernet interface and this is disabled, it is dropped and a filter entry will show up on the VLAN Statistics page as DVLAN Egress or DVLAN Ingress. Management VID Enter the VID that the BHS must share with the BHM. The range of
(Range 1-4094) values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. Default Port VID This is the VID that is used for untagged frames and corresponds to the
(Range 1-4094) Q-Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is Q-in- Q). QinQ Ether Type Modules can be configured with 802.1ad Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) tagging which is a way for an operator to put an 802.1Q VLAN inside of an 802.1ad VLAN. A nested VLAN, which is the original 802.1Q tag and a new second 802.1ad tag, allows for bridging of VLAN traffic across a network and segregates the broadcast domains of 802.1Q VLANs. Q-in-Q can be used with PPPoE and/or NAT. The 802.1ad standard defines the S-VLAN as the Service Provider VLAN and the C-VLAN as the customer VLAN. The radio software does 2 layer Q-in-Q whereby the C-VLAN is the 802.1Q tag and the S-VLAN is the second layer Q tag as shown below:
Ethernet Header S-VLAN EthType C-VLAN IP Data EthType 0x88a8 EthType 0x8100 0x0800 The 802.1ad S-VLAN is the outer VLAN that is configurable on the Configuration > VLAN web page of the BHM. The Q-in-Q EtherType parameter is configured with a default EtherType of 0x88a8 in addition to four alternate EtherTypes that can be configured to aid in interoperability with existing networks that use a different EtherType than the default. Page 7-125 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top level concept, this operates on the outermost tag at any given time, either pushing a tag on or popping a tag off. This means packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag pushed on) or an untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag popped off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.1Q frame (with the tag popped off) since the radio software only supports 2 levels of tags. VLAN Not Active When VLAN is enabled in the BHM, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. Page 7-126 Chapter 7: Configuration VLAN page of BHS The VLAN tab of BHS is explained in Table 100. Table 100 BHS VLAN page attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Specify whether VLAN functionality for the BHM and all linked BHS must be (Enabled) or may not (Disabled) be allowed. The default value is Disabled. VLAN Port Type By default this is Q, indicating that it is to operate in the existing manner. The other option is Q-in-Q, which indicates that it must be adding and removing the S-Tag, and adding a C-Tag if necessary for untagged packets. The VLAN Port type corresponds to the Ethernet port of the BHS. Currently, the internal management interfaces will always operate as Q ports. Accept QinQ Frames This option is valid for the Q-in-Q port so that the user may force blocking of existing 802.1ad Q-in-Q frames. This way, only untagged or single tagged packets will come in and out of the Ethernet interface. If a Q-in-Q frame is about ingress or egress the Ethernet interface and this is disabled, it is dropped and a filter entry will show up on the VLAN Statistics page as DVLAN Egress or DVLAN Ingress. Management VID Enter the VID that the BHS must share with the BHM. The range of
(Range 1-4094) values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. Default Port VID This is the VID that is used for untagged frames and corresponds to the
(Range 1-4094) Q-Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is Q-in- Q). VLAN Not Active When VLAN is enabled in the BHM, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. Page 7-127 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces PPPoE page of SM Applicable products PMP :
SM Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a protocol that encapsulates PPP frames inside Ethernet frames (at Ethernet speeds). Benefits to the network operator may include Access control Service monitoring Generation of statistics about activities of the customer Re-use of infrastructure and operational practices by operators who already use PPP for other networks PPPoE options are configurable for the SM only, and the AP indicates whether or not PPPoE is enabled for a specific subscriber. When PPPoE is enabled, once the RF session comes up between the SM and the AP, the SM will immediately attempt to connect to the PPPoE Server. You can monitor the status of this by viewing the PPPoE Session Log in the Logs section (Administrator only). Every time the RF session comes up, the SM will check the status of the link and if it is down, the SM will attempt to redial the link if necessary depending on the Timer Type. Also, on the Configuration page, the user may Connect or Disconnect the session manually. This can be used to override the session to force a manual disconnect and/or reconnect if there is a problem with the session. In order to enable PPPoE, NAT MUST be enabled on the SM and Translation Bridging MUST be disabled on the AP. These items is strictly enforced for you when you are trying to enable PPPoE. A message will indicate any prerequisites not being met. Also, the NAT Public IP DHCP client cannot be enabled, because the NAT Public IP is received through the IPCP process of the PPPoE discovery stages. The pre-requisites are:
NAT MUST be enabled on the SM o NAT DHCP Client is disabled automatically. The NAT public IP is received from the PPPoE Server. o NAT Public Network Interface Configuration will not be used and must be left to defaults. Also NAT Public IP DHCP is disabled if it is enabled. Translation Bridging MUST be DISABLED on the AP o This will only be determined if the SM is in session since the SM wont know the AP configuration otherwise. If the SM is not in session, PPPoE can be enabled but if the SM goes into session to a Translation Bridge-enabled AP, then PPPoE will not be enabled. The PPPoE configuration parameters are explained in Table 101. Page 7-128 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 101 SM PPPoE attributes Attribute Meaning Access Concentrator An optional entry to set a specific access concentrator to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is blank, the SM will accept the first access concentrator which matches the service name (if specified). This is limited to 32 characters. Service Name An optional entry to set a specific service name to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is left blank the SM will accept the first service option that comes back from the access concentrator specified above, if any. This is limited to 32 characters. Authentication Type None means that no PPPoE authentication is implemented CHAP/PAP means that CHAP authentication is attempted first, then PAP authentication. The same password is used for both types. User Name This is the CHAP/PAP user name that is used if CHAP/PAP authentication is selected. If None is selected for authentication then this field is unused. This is limited to 32 characters. Password This is the CHAP/PAP password that is used if PAP authentication is selected. If None is selected for authentication then this field is unused. This is limited to 32 characters. MTU Use MTU Received from PPPoE Server causes the SM to use the MRU of the PPPoE server received in LCP as the MTU for the PPPoE link. Page 7-129 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Use User Defined MTU allows the operator to specify an MTU value to use to override any MTU that may be determined in the LCP phase of PPPoE session setup. If this is selected, the user is able to enter an MTU value up to 1492. However, if the MTU determined in LCP negotiations is less than this user-specified value, the SM will use the smaller value as its MTU for the PPPoE link. Timer Type Keep Alive is the default timer type. This timer will enable a keepalive that will check the status of the link periodically. The user can set a keepalive period. If no data is seen from the PPPoE server for that period, the link is taken down and a reconnection attempt is started. For marginal links, the keep alive timer can be useful so that the session will stay alive over periodic dropouts. The keepalive timer must be set such that the session can outlast any session drop. Some PPPoE servers will have a session check timer of their own so that the timeouts of the server and the SM are in sync, to ensure one side does not drop the session prematurely. Idle Timeout enables an idle timer that checks the usage of the link from the customer side. If there is no data seen from the customer for the idle timeout period, the PPPoE session is dropped. Once data starts flowing from the customer again, the session is started up again. This timer is useful for users who may not be using the connection frequently. If the session is idle for long periods of time, this timer will allow the resources used by the session to be returned to the server. Once the connection is used again by the customer, the link is reestablished automatically. Timer Period The length in seconds of the PPPoE keepalive timer. TCP MSS Clamping If this is enabled, then the SM will alter TCP SYN and SYN-ACK packets by changing the Maximum Segment Size to be compatible with the current MTU of the PPPoE link. This way, the user does not have to worry about MTU on the client side for TCP packets. The MSS is set to the current MTU 40 (20 bytes for IP headers and 20 bytes for TCP headers). This will cause the application on the client side to not send any TCP packets larger than the MTU. If the network is exhibiting large packet loss, try enabling this option. This may not be an option on the PPPoE server itself. The SM will NOT reassemble IP fragments, so if the MTUs are incorrect on the end stations, then MSS clamping will solve the problem for TCP connections. Page 7-130 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP4 and IPv6 Applicable products PMP : AP SM PTP: BHM BMS IPv4 and IPv6 Prioritization PMP/PTP 450 platform provides operators the ability to prioritize IPv6 traffic in addition to IPv4 traffic. IPv6/IPv4 prioritization can be configured by selecting a CodePoint and the corresponding priority from the GUI of the AP/BHM and the IPv6/IPv4 packet is set up accordingly. There is no GUI option for selecting IPv6 or IPv4 priority. Once the priority is set, it is set for IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Priority IPv4 and IPv6 prioritization is set using the DiffServ tab on the AP/BHM and SM/BHS (located at Configuration > DiffServ). A priority set to a specific CodePoint will apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Table 102 DiffServ attributes AP/BHM Attribute Meaning CodePoint 1 through Priorities of 0 through 3 map to the low-priority channel; 4 through 7 to CodePoint 47 the high- priority channel. The mappings are the same as 802.1p VLAN CodePoint 49 priorities. Consistent with RFC 2474 through CodePoint CodePoint 0 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 0 (low-priority 55 CodePoint 57 through CodePoint 63 channel). CodePoint 48 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 6 (high-priority channel). CodePoint 56 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 7 (high-
priority channel). Page 7-131 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Operator cannot change any of these three fixed priority values. Among the settable parameters, the priority values (and therefore the handling of packets in the high or low priority channel) are set in the AP/BHM for all downlinks within the sector and in the SM/BHS for each uplink. CodePoint Select This represents the CodePoint Selection to be modified via Priority Select Priority Select The priority setting input for the CodePoint selected in CodePoint Select Priority Precedence Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. PPPoE Control Operators may configure the AP/BHM to utilize the high priority channel Message Priority for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the AP/BHM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the AP/BHM. IPv4 and IPv6 Filtering The operator can filter (block) specified IPv6 protocols including IPv4 and ports from leaving the AP/BHM and SM/BHS and entering the network. This protects the network from both intended and inadvertent packet loading or probing by network users. By keeping the specified protocols or ports off the network, this feature also provides a level of protection to users from each other. Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Filtering IPv6 filters are set using the Protocol Filtering tab on the AP/BHM and SM/BHS (at Configuration >
Protocol Filtering). Once a filter is set for a packet type, those packets will not be sent over the RF interface depending on Filter Direction setting. Page 7-132 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 103 Packet Filter Configuration attributes Attribute Meaning Packet Filter Types For any box selected, the Protocol and Port Filtering feature blocks the associated protocol type. To filter packets in any of the user-defined ports, you must do all of the following:
Check the box for User Defined Port n (See Below) in the Packet Filter Types section of this tab. Provide a port number at Port #n. in the User Defined Port Filtering Configuration section of this tab Page 7-133 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Enable TCP and/or UDP by clicking the associated radio button Filter Direction Operators may choose to filter upstream (uplink) RF packets or downstream (downlink) RF packets. User Defined Port You can specify ports for which to block subscriber access, regardless of Filtering Configuration whether NAT is enabled. Page 7-134 Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Upgrading the software version and using CNUT This section consists of the following procedures:
Checking the installed software version on page 7-135 Upgrading to a new software version on page 7-135 Caution If the link is operational, ensure that the remote end of the link is upgraded first using the wireless connection, and then the local end can be upgraded. Otherwise, the remote end may not be accessible. Use CNUT 4.9.12 or later version and always refer to the software release notes before upgrading system software. The release notes are available at:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450 Checking the installed software version To check the installed software version, follow these instructions:
Procedure 18 Checking the installed software version 1 2 Click on General tab under Home menu. Note the installed Software Version (under Device Information):
PMP/PTP 450/450i 3 Go to the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1) and find Point-to-Multipoint software updates. Check that the latest PMP/PTP 450 platform software version is the same as the installed Software Version. 4 To upgrade software to the latest version, see Upgrading to a new software version on page 7-135. Upgrading to a new software version PMP/PTP 450i modules are upgraded using the Canopy Network Updater Tool. The Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) manages and automates the software and firmware upgrade process for a Canopy radio, 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/BHM while using the Autoupdate feature) to upgrade the modules. Page 7-135 Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Note Please ensure that you have the most up-to-date version of CNUT by browsing to the Customer Support Web Page located:
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support/management-tools/cnut This section includes an example of updating a single unit before deployment. System-wide upgrading procedures may be found in the CNUT Online Help manual, which can be found on the Cambium support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1). CNUT functions The Canopy Network Updater tool has the following functions:
Automatically discovers all network elements Executes a UDP command that initiates and terminates the Auto-update mode within APs/BHMs. This command is both secure and convenient:
o For security, the AP/BHM accepts this command from only the IP address that you specify in the Configuration page of the AP/BHM. o For convenience, Network Updater automatically sets this Configuration parameter in the APs/BHMs to the IP address of the Network Updater server when the server performs any of the update commands. CNUT supports HTTP and HTTPS Allows you to choose the following among updating:
o Your entire network. o Only elements that you select. o Only network branches that you select. Provides a Script Engine that you can use with any script that:
o You define. o Cambium supplies. Configurability of any of the following to be the file server for image files:
o The AP/BHM, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring vai UDP messaging o CNUT HTTP/HTTPS Server, for upgrading via SNMP commands and monitoring via SNMP messaging. This also supports an option to either set the image order specifically for this file server or to allow the AP to determine the order. o Local TFTP Server, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via UDP messaging. This supports setting the number of simultaneous image transfers per AP/BHM The capability to launch a test of connectivity and operational status of the local HTTP, HTTPS and TFTP file servers An interface that supports efficient specification of the proper IP address for the local file server(s) where Network Updater resides on a multi-homed computer An md5 checksum calculator utility for identifying corruption of downloaded image files before Network Updater is set to apply them. Page 7-136 Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Network element groups With the Canopy Network Updater Tool, you can identify element groups composed of network elements that you select. Identifying these element groups does the following:
Organizes the display of elements (for example, by region or by AP/BHM cluster). Allows to:
o Perform an operation on all elements in the group simultaneously. o Set group-level defaults for ftp password access and SNMP Community String (defaults that can be overridden in an individual element when necessary). Network layers A typical network contains multiple layers of elements, with each layer farther from the Point of Presence. For example, SMs (or BHS) are behind an AP/BHM and thus, in this context, at a lower layer than the AP/BHM. Correctly portraying these layers in Network Updater is essential so that Network Updater can perform radio and AP/BHM cluster upgrades in an appropriate order. Script engine Script Engine is the capability in Network Updater that executes any user-defined script against any network element or element group. This capability is useful for network management, especially for scripts that you repetitively execute across your network. The Autodiscovery capability in Network Updater finds all of your network elements. This comprehensive discovery:
Ensures that, when you intend to execute a script against all elements, the script is indeed executed against all elements. Maintains master lists of elements (element groups) against which you selectively execute scripts. The following scripts are included with CNUT:

Procedure 19 Upgrading a module prior to deployment 1 Go to the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1) and find Point-
to-Multipoint software updates. Download and save the required software image. 2 3 Start CNUT If you dont start up with a blank new network file in CNUT, then open a new network file with the New Network Archive operation (located at File > New Network). 4 Enter a new network element to the empty network tree5-9 using the Add Elements to Network Root operation (located at Edit > Add Elements to Network Root). 5 In the Add Elements dialogue, select a type of Access Point or Subscriber Module and enter the IP address of 169.254.1.1. 6 Make sure that the proper Installation Package is active with the Package Manager dialogue (located at Update > Manage Packages). 7 To verify connectivity with the radio, perform a Refresh, Discover Entire Network operation (located at View > Refresh/Discover Entire Network). You must see the details columns for the new element filled in with ESN and software version information. 8 Initiate the upgrade of the radio using Update Entire Network Root operation (located at Update > Update Entire Network Root). When this operation finishes, the radio is done being upgraded. Page 7-138 Chapter 7: Configuration General configuration General configuration The Configuration > General page of the AP/BMH or BHM/BHS contains many of the configurable parameters that define how the ratios operate in sector or backhaul.

Link Speeds From the drop-down list of options, select the type of link speed for the 802.3at Type 2 PoE Status and PoE Classification Ethernet connection. The default for this parameter is that all speeds are selected: Auto 100F/100H/10F/10H. In this setting, the two ends of the link automatically negotiate with each other whether the speed that they will use is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and whether the Ethernet traffic is full duplex or half duplex. However,137 Ethernet links work best when either:
both ends are set to the same forced selection both ends are set to auto-negotiate and both have capability in least one common speed and traffic type combination. When the PoE Classification functionality is enabled and if Type 2 power is not present, the PAs do not power up and draw too much power. By default, the PoE Classification feature is disabled and the PAs will power up regardless of the classification presented by the power source. This is supported only on 450i series devices. PoE Classification configuration status also can be check under home >

Region From the drop-down list, select the region in which the radio is operating. Country From the drop-down list, select the country in which the radio is operating. Unlike selections in other parameters, your Country selection requires a Save Changes and a Reboot cycle before it will force the context-
sensitive GUI to display related options (for example, Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 and 2 in the Configuration > Radio tab). PMP 450i equipment shipped to the United States is locked to a Region Code setting of United States. Units shipped to regions other than the United States must be configured with the corresponding Region Code to comply with local regulatory requirements. Country Code settings affect the radios in the following ways:
Maximum transmit power limiting (based on radio transmitter power plus configured antenna gain) DFS operation is enabled based on the configured region code, if applicable For more information on how transmit power limiting and DFS is implemented for each country, see the PMP 450 Planning Guide. Webpage Auto Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically Update refresh the web-based interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to never be automatically refreshed. Bridge Entry Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation Timeout with the existing network infrastructure. The Bridge Entry Timeout must be a longer period than the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network. Caution An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss of communication with some end users. Translation Bridging Optionally, you can configure the AP to change the source MAC address in every packet it receives from its SMs to the MAC address of the SM that bridged the packet, before forwarding the packet toward the public network. If you do, then:
Not more than 10 IP devices at any time are valid to send data to the AP from behind the SM. Page 7-142 Chapter 7: Configuration General configuration SM populates the Translation Table tab of its Statistics web page, displaying the MAC address and IP address of all the valid connected devices. Each entry in the Translation Table is associated with the number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM. If 10 are connected and another attempts to connect:
If no Translation Table entry is older than 255 minutes, the attempt is ignored. If an entry is older than 255 minutes, the oldest entry is removed and the attempt is successful. the Send Untranslated ARP parameter in the General tab of the Configuration page can be:
Disabled, so that the AP overwrites the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them. Enabled, so that the AP forwards ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. When this feature is disabled, the setting of the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect, because all packets are forwarded untranslated
(with the source MAC address intact). Send Untranslated If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Enabled, then the Send ARP Untranslated ARP parameter can be:
Disabled - so that the AP will overwrite the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them. Enabled - so that the AP will forward ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Disabled, then the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect. SM Isolation Prevent or allow SM-to-SM communication by selecting from the following drop-down menu items:
Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs. Block SM Packets from being forwarded. This prevents both multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication. Block and Forward SM Packets to Backbone. This not only prevents multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends the packets, which otherwise are handled SM to SM, through the Ethernet port of the AP. Page 7-143 Chapter 7: Configuration General configuration Forward Unknown Enabled: All unknown Unicast packets (no entry in the APs bridge table) Unicast Packets received via the APs Ethernet LAN interface are forwarded to registered SMs. If the target device is situated beneath a particular SM, when the device responds the SM and AP will learn and add the device to their bridge tables so that subsequent packets to that device is bridged to the proper SM. Disabled: All unknown Unicast packets (no entry in the APs bridge table) received via the APs Ethernet LAN interface are discarded at the AP. Update Application Enter the address of the server to access for software updates on this AP Address and registered SMs. Prioritize TCP ACK To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements. This parameter, when enabled, can be particularly useful when running bi-direction FTP sessions over the link. If a link is primarily used for video surveillance, it is recommended to set this parameter to Disable. Multicast Destination Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a module exchanges Address multicast addresses with the device to which it is wired on the Ethernet interface. Although some switches (CMM4, for example) do not pass LLDP addresses upward in the network, a radio can pass it as the value of the Multicast Destination Address parameter value in the connected device that has it populated. DHCP Relay Agent The AP may act as a DHCP relay for SMs and CPEs underneath it. The AP will make use of the DHCP Option 82 (DHCP Relay Agent Information) from RFC 3046 when performing relay functions. The AP offers two types of DHCP relay functionality:
Full Relay Information. Configuring the DHCP Full Relay Operation will take broadcast DHCP packets and send them to a Unicast server in unicast mode. This way the DHCP requests and replies can be routed like any other UDP packet. Only Insert Option 82. This option leaves the DHCP request on its broadcast domain as opposed to DHCP Full Relay Operation which will turn it into a unicast packet. In order to accommodate setting up pools or classes for different VLANs, the Option 82 field will include information to tell the server what VLAN the client is on. DHCP Server (Name The DHCP relay server may be either a DNS name or a static IP address or IP Address) in dotted decimal notation. Additionally the management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the DHCP relay server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. The default DHCP relay server addresses is 255.255.255.255 with the appending of the DNS domain name disabled.

Ethernet Link Specify whether to enable or disable Ethernet/802.3 connectivity on the Enable/Disable wired port of the SM. This parameter has no effect on the wireless link. When you select Enable, this feature allows traffic on the Ethernet/802.3 port. This is the factory default state of the port. When you select Disable, this feature prevents traffic on the port. Typical cases of when you may want to select Disable include:
The subscriber is delinquent with payment(s). You suspect that the subscriber is sending or flooding undesired broadcast packets into the network, such as when a virus is present in the subscriber's computing device. the subscriber's home router is improperly configured. Region This parameter allows you to set the region in which the radio will operate. The SM radio automatically inherits the Region type of the master. This behavior ignores the value of the Region parameter in the SM, even when the value is None. Nevertheless, since future system software releases may read the value in order to configure some other region-
sensitive feature(s), this parameter must be always set to the value that corresponds to the local region. Country This parameter allows you to set the country in which the radio will operate. The SM radio automatically inherits the Country Code type of the master. This behavior ignores the value of the Country parameter in the SM, even when the value is None. Nevertheless, since future system software releases may read the value in order to configure some other region-sensitive feature(s), this parameter must be always set to the value that corresponds to the local region.

Multicast Destination Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a module exchanges Address multicast addresses with the device to which it is wired on the Ethernet interface. Although some switches (CMM4, for example) do not pass LLDP addresses upward in the network, a radio can pass it as the value of the Multicast Destination Address parameter value in the connected device that has it populated.

Region This parameter allows you to set the region in which the radio will operate. The BHS radio automatically inherits the Region type of the master. This behavior ignores the value of the Region parameter in the BHS, even when the value is None.

NTP Server 1 (Name To have each log in the AP/BHM correlated to a meaningful time and or IP Address) date, either a reliable network element must pass time and date to the NTP Server 2 (Name or IP Address) NTP Server 3 (Name or IP Address) AP/BHM or must set the time and date whenever a power cycle of the AP/BHM has occurred. A network element passes time and date in any of the following scenarios:
A connected CMM4 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received). A connected CMM4 passes the time and date (GPS time and date, if received), but only if both the CMMr is operating on CMMr Release 2.1 or later release. (These releases include NTP server functionality.) Page 7-161 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up time and date A separate NTP server (including APs/BHMs receiving NTP data) is addressable from the AP/BHM. If the AP/BHM needs to obtain time and date from a CMM4, or a separate NTP server, enter the IP address or DNS name of the CMM4 or NTP server on this tab. To force the AP/BHM to obtain time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP server, click Get Time via NTP. The polling of the NTP servers is done in a sequential fashion, and the polling status of each server is displayed in the NTP Update Log section of the Time Configuration page. An entry of 0.0.0.0 in any of the NTP Server fields indicates an unused server configuration. NTP Server(s) in Use Lists the IP addresses of servers used for NTP retrieval. Time Zone The Time Zone option may be used to offset the received NTP time to match the operators local time zone. When set on the AP/BHM, the offset is set for the entire sector SMs (or BHS) are notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time Zone change is applied, the SMs(or BHS) is notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some SMs//BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-
registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log of the AP/BHM and SM/BHS. System Time The current time used by the system. Last NTP Time The last time that the system time was set via NTP. Update Time Date This field may be used to manually set the system time of the radio. This field may be used to manually set the system date of the radio.

Page 7-162 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring synchronization Configuring synchronization Applicable products PMP : AP PTP: BHM This section describe synchronization options for PMP and PTP configuration. This Sync Input parameter can be configured under Sync Setting tab of Configure > General page
(see General configuration on page 7-139). PMP/PTP 450i has following sysnchronization options:
AutoSync AutoSync + Free Run Generate Sync Figure 117 Sync Setting configuration AutoSync For PTP, the BHM automatically receives sync from one of the following sources:
GPS Sync over Timing Port (UGPS, co-located AP GPS sync output, or Remote Device feed from a registered SMs GPS sync output) GPS Sync over Power Port (CMM4) Upon AP/BM power on, the AP/BHM does not transmit until a valid synchronization pulse is received from one of the sources above. If there is a loss of GPS synchronization pulse, within two seconds the AP/BHM automatically attempts to source GPS signaling from another source. In case of PMP, when there are synchronization sources on both the timing port and the power port, the power port GPS source is chosen first. If no valid GPS signal is received, the AP/BHM ceases transmission and SM/BHS registration is lost until a valid GPS signal is received again on the AP or BHM. AutoSync + Free Run This mode operates similarly to mode AutoSync, but if a previously received synchronization signal is lost and no GPS signaling alternative is achieved, the AP/BHM automatically changes to synchronization mode Generate Sync. While SM registration ins maintained, in this mode there is no synchronization of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; the AP/BHM will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Once a valid GPS signal is obtained again, the AP/BHM automatically switches to receiving synchronization via the GPS source and SM/BHS registration is maintained. Page 7-163 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring synchronization When the Sync Input field is set to Autosync or Autosync + Free Run, other options become available to be set e.g. UGPS Power and other fields. This is true on APs and BHMs. Note In mode AutoSync + Free Run, if a GPS signal is never achieved initially, the system will not switch to Free Run mode, and SMs/BHS will not register to the AP/BHM. A valid GPS signal must be present initially for the AP to switch into Free Run mode
(and to begin self-generating a synchronization pulse). Also, When an AP/BHM is operating in Free Run mode, over a short time it will no longer be synchronized with co-located or nearby APs/BHMs (within radio range). Due to this lack of transmit and receive synchronization across APs/BHMs or across systems, performance while in Free Run mode may be degraded until the APs/BHMs operating in Free Run mode regain a external GPS synchronization source. Careful attention is required to ensure that all systems are properly receiving an external GPS synchronization pulse, and please consider Free Run mode as an emergency option. Generate Sync (factory default) This option may be used when the AP/BHM is not receiving GPS synchronization pulses from either a CMM4 or UGPS module, and there are no other APs/BHMs active within the link range. Using this option will not synchronize transmission of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; it will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Note When an AP/BHM has its "Regional Code" set to "None", The radio will not provide valid Sync Pulse Information. There is a RED warning that the radio will not transmit, but the user might expect to see a valid sync if the radio is connected to a working CMM4 or UGPS.

Page 7-169 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Requiring SM Authentication Applicable products PMP : AP SM Through the use of a shared AP key, or an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server, it enhances network security by requiring SMs to authenticate when they register. For descriptions of each of the configurable security parameters on the AP, see Configuring Security on page 7-180. For descriptions of each of the configurable security parameters on the SM, see Security on page 7-185. Operators may use the APs Authentication Mode field to select from among the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate (factory default setting). Authentication Server the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its SMs and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none of the SMs is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. For more information on configuring the PMP 450 network to utilize a RADIUS server, see Configuring a RADIUS server on page 7-281. Page 7-170 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Filtering protocols and ports Applicable products PMP : AP SM PTP: BHM BMS The filtering protocols and ports allows to configure filters for specified protocols and ports from leaving the AP/SM/BHM/BHS and entering the network. See Filtering protocols and ports on page 3-38. Protocol filtering page of PMP/PTP 450 platform AP/BHM The Protocol Filtering page of PMP/PTP 450 platform AP/BHM is explained in Table 115. Table 115 AP/BHM Protocol Filtering attributes Page 7-171 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Attribute Meaning Packet Filter Types For any box selected, the Protocol and Port Filtering feature blocks the associated protocol type. To filter packets in any of the user-defined ports, must do all of the following:
Check the box for User Defined Port n (See Below) in the Packet Filter Types section of this tab. In the User Defined Port Filtering Configuration section of this tab:
provide a port number at Port #n. enable TCP and/or UDP by clicking the associated radio button Filter Direction Operators may choose to filter upstream (uplink) RF packets or downstream (downlink) RF packets. User Defined Port You can specify ports for which to block subscriber access, regardless of Filtering Configuration whether NAT is enabled. RF Telnet Access RF Telnet Access restricts Telnet access to the AP/BHM from a device PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding situated below a network SM/BHS (downstream from the AP/BHM). This is a security enhancement to restrict RF-interface sourced AP access specifically to the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address (Radio Private Address, typically 192.168.101.[LUID]). This restriction disallows unauthorized users from running Telnet commands on the AP/BHM that can change AP/BHM configuration or modifying network-critical components such as routing and ARP tables. Enabled: the AP/BHM allows downstream and upstream transmission of PPPoE PADI packets. By default, PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding is set to Enabled. Disabled: the AP/BHM disallows PPPoE PADI packets from entering the Ethernet interface and exiting the RF interface (downstream to the SM/BHS). PPPoE PADI packets are still allowed to enter the APs RF interface and exit the APs /BHMs Ethernet interface (upstream).

Allowing management only from specified IP addresses See Allowing management from only specified IP addresses on page 3-43. Restricting radio Telnet access over the RF interface RF Telnet Access restricts Telnet access to the AP from a device situated below a network SM
(downstream from the AP). This is a security enhancement to restrict RF-interface sourced AP access specifically to the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address (Radio Private Address, typically 192.168.101. [LUID]). This restriction disallows unauthorized users from running Telnet commands on the AP that can change AP configuration or modifying network-critical components such as routing and ARP tables. The RF Telnet Access may be configured via the AP GUI or via SNMP commands, and RF Telnet Access is set to Enabled by default. Once RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled, if there is a Telnet session attempt to the AP originating from a device situated below the SM (or any downstream device), the attempt is dropped. This also includes Telnet session attempts originated from the SMs management interface (if a user has initiated a Telnet session to a SM and attempts to Telnet from the SM to the AP). In addition, if there are any active Telnet connections to the AP originating from a device situated below the SM (or any downstream device), the connection is dropped. This behavior must be considered if system administrators use Telnet downstream from an AP (from a registered SM) to modify system parameters. Setting RF Telnet Access to Disabled does not affect devices situated above the AP from accessing the AP via Telnet, including servers running the CNUT (Canopy Network Updater tool) application. Also, setting RF Telnet Access to Disabled does not affect any Telnet access into upstream devices (situated above or adjacent to the AP) through the AP (see Figure 120). The figure below depicts a user attempting two telnet sessions. One is targeted for the AP (orange) and one is targeted for the network upstream from the AP (green). If RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled (factory default setting), the Telnet attempt from the user to the AP is blocked, but the attempt from the user to Network is allowed to pass through the Cambium network. Figure 120 RF Telnet Access Restrictions (orange) and Flow through (green) Page 7-175 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Key Security Considerations when using the RF Telnet Access Feature To ensure that the network is fully protected from unauthorized AP Telnet sessions, the following topics must be considered:
Securing AP Clusters When working with a cluster of AP units, to eliminate potential security holes allowing Telnet access, ensure that the RF Telnet Access parameter is set to Disabled for every AP in the cluster. In addition, since users situated below the AP are able to pass Telnet sessions up through the SM and AP to the upstream network (while AP RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled), ensure that all CMM4 or other networking equipment is secured with strong passwords. Otherwise, users may Telnet to the CMM4 or other networking equipment, and subsequently access network APs (see Figure 121) via their Ethernet interfaces (since RF Telnet Access only prevents Telnet sessions originating from the APs wireless interface). Figure 121 RF Telnet Access Restriction (orange) and Potential Security Hole (green) As a common practice, AP administrator usernames and passwords must be secured with strong, non-default passwords. Restricting AP RF Telnet Access AP Telnet access via the RF interface may be configured in two ways the AP GUI and SNMP. Controlling RF Telnet Access via the AP GUI To restrict all Telnet access to the AP via the RF interface from downstream devices, follow these instructions using the AP GUI:
Procedure 20 Restricting RF Telnet access 1 Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials 2 On the AP GUI, navigate to Configuration > Protocol Filtering Page 7-176 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security 3 Under GUI heading Telnet Access over RF Interface, set RF Telnet Access to Disabled 4 Click the Save button 5 Once the Save button is clicked, all RF Telnet Access to the AP from devices situated below the AP is blocked. Note The factory detafult setting for RF Telnet Access is disabled and PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding is enabled. Page 7-177 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Configuring SNMP Access The SNMPv3 interface provides a more secure method to perform SNMP operations. This standard provides services for authentication, data integrity and message encryption over SNMP. Refer to Planning for SNMPv3 operation on page 3-36 for details. Note The factory detafult setting for SNMP is SNMPv2c Only. Procedure 21 Configuring SNMPv3 1 Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials 2 On the AP/SM GUI, navigate to Configuration > Security Page 3 Under GUI heading Security Mode, set SNMP to SNMPv3 Only 4 Click the Save Changes button 5 Go to Configuration > SNMP Page 6 Under GUI heading SNMPv3 setting, set Engine ID, SNMPv3 Security Level, SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol, SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol, SNMPv3 Read-Only User, SNMPv3 Read/Write User, SNMPv3 Trap Configuration parameters:
Engine ID :
Each radio (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) has a distinct SNMP authoritative engine identified by a unique Engine ID. While the Engine ID is configurable to the operator it is expected that the operator follow the guidelines of the SNMPEngineID defined in the SNMP-
FRAMEWORK-MIB (RFC 3411). The default Engine ID is the MAC address of the device. SNMPv3 security level, Authentication and Privacy Protocol The authentication allows authentication of SNMPv3 user and privacy allows for encryption of SNMPv3 message. PMP/PTP 450 platform supports MD5 authentication and CBC-DES privacy protocols. Page 7-178 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security SNMPv3 Read-Only and Read/Write User The user can defined by configurable attributes. The attributes and default values are:
Read-only user o Username = Canopyro o Authentication Password = authCanopyro o Privacy Password = privacyCanopyro Read-write user (by default read-write user is disabled) o Username = Canopy o Authentication Password = authCanopy o Privacy Password = privacyCanopy SNMPv3 Trap Configuration The traps may be sent from radios in SNMPv3 format based on parameter settings. It can be configured for Disabled, Enabled for Read-Only User, Enable for Read/Write User. Page 7-179 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring Security Configuring security Applicable products PMP : AP SM PTP: BHM BMS Security page PMP/PTP 450 platform AP/BHM The security page of AP/BHM is explained in Table 118. Table 118 Security tab of the AP Page 7-180 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Attribute Meaning Authentication Mode Operators may use this field to select from among the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP/BHM requires no SMs/BHS to authenticate. (Factory default). Authentication Server the AP/BHM requires any SM/BHS that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration. AP PreShared Key - The AP/BHM acts as the authentication server to its SMs/BHS and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP/BHM and all SMs/BHS desired to register to that AP/BHM. There is also an option of leaving the AP/BHM and SMs/BHS at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs/BHS and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP/BHM. Otherwise, if you configure the AP/BHM first, none of the SMs/BHS is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. Note This parameter is applicable to BHM. Page 7-181 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Authentication The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the Server DNS Usage name of the authentication server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. Note This parameter is applicable to BHM. Authentication Enter the IP address or server name of the authentication server Server 1 to 5
(RADIUS or WM) and the Shared Secret configured in the authentication server. When Authentication Mode RADIUS AAA is selected, the default value of Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret may consist of up to 32 ASCII characters. Note This parameter is applicable to BHM. Radius Port This field allows the operator to configure a custom port for RADIUS server communication. The default value is 1812. Note This parameter is applicable to BHM. Authentication Key The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP PreShared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Note This parameter is applicable to BHM. Select Key This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication Note This parameter is applicable to BHM. Dyanamic Authorization Extensions for RADIUS Enable CoA and Disconnect Message: Allows to control configuration parameters of SM using RADIUS CoA and Disconnect Message feature. Disable CoA and Disconnect Message: Disables RADIUS CoA and Disconnect Message feature. To enable CoA and Disconnect feature, the Authentication Mode should be set to RADIUS AAA. Bypass Enabled: SM authentication is disabled when SM connects via ICC Authentication for
(Installation Color Code). ICC SMs Disabled: SM authentication is enabled. Encryption Setting Specify the type of airlink security to apply to this AP. The encryption setting must match the encryption setting of the SMs. Page 7-182 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security None provides no encryption on the air link. DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. Note This parameter is applicable to BHM.

Note Only the frequencies available for your region and the selected Channel bandwidth are displayed. Table 121 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz Page 7-193 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning Frequency Band Select the desired operating frequency band. Frequency Carrier Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. Alternate Frequency These parameters are displayed based on Regional Settings. Refer Carrier 1 and 2 Country on page 7-142 Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the AP and the SM. The supported Channel Bandwidths are 5, 10 and 20 MHz. Cyclic Prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-
pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. Color Code Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Subscriber Color This timer may be utilized to initiate SM rescans in order to register to an Code Rescan (When AP configured with the SMs primary color code. not on a Primary Color Code) Page 7-194 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan (if this AP is not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will only fire once if the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a nonzero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan expires, the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle is started. If the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a zero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan timer expires, the SM will immediately go into rescan mode Subscriber Color The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan while idle (if this AP is Code Wait Period for not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will fire Idle periodic events. The fired event determines if any RF unicast traffic
(either inbound or outbound) has occurred since the last event. If the results of the event determine that no RF unicast traffic has occurred
(SM is idle), then the subscriber will rescan. Installation Color With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and Code remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If a SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Max Range Enter a number of miles (or kilometers divided by 1.61, then rounded to an integer) for the furthest distance from which a SM is allowed to register to this AP. Do not set the distance to any greater number of miles. A greater distance does not increase the power of transmission from the AP. can reduce aggregate throughput. Regardless of this distance, the SM must meet the minimum requirements for an acceptable link. If the AP is in cluster, then you must set this parameter on all other APs in the cluster exactly the same, except as described in the NOTE admonition below. The default value of this parameter is 2 miles (3.2 km). Page 7-195 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Downlink Data Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink
(frames transmitted from the AP to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput on the AP is 90 Mb, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 67.5 Mb for the downlink and 22.5 Mb for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 75%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Note This setting does not prevent a device connected to the Ethernet port from accessing the management interface of other SMs in the network. To prevent this, use the IP Access Filtering Enabled selection in the IP Access Control parameter of the SMs in the network. See IP Access Control below. Contention Slots This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured
(a.k.a. Control Slots) by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page7-238. Broadcast Repeat The default is 2 repeats (in addition to the original broadcast packet, for Count a total of 3 packets sent for every one needed), and is settable to 1 or 0 repeats (2 or 1 packets for every broadcast). ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) is not present in downlink broadcast packets, since it can cause unnecessary uplink traffic from every SM for each broadcast packet. For successful transport without ARQ, the AP repeats downlink broadcast packets. The SMs filter out all repeated broadcast packets and, thus, do not transport further. The default of 2 repeats is optimum for typical uses of the network as an internet access system. In applications with heavy download broadcast such as video distribution, overall throughput is significantly improved by setting the repeat count to 1 or 0. This avoids flooding the downlink with repeat broadcast packets. Transmitter Output This value represents the combined power of the APs two transmitters. Power Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example 900 MHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to maintain awareness of applicable regulations. calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. Page 7-196 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. External Gain This value needs to correspond to the published gain of the antenna used to ensure the radio will meet regulatory requirements. SM Receive Target Each SMs Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP. The Level AP monitors the received power from each SM, and adjusts each SMs Transmitter Output Power so that the received power at the AP from that SM is not greater what is set in this field. This value represents the transmitted and received power (combined power) perceived on the SM. Multicast VC Data This pull down menu of the Multicast Data Control screen helps in Rate configuring multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 4X or 6X. The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. Multicast Repeat This value is the number of packets that are repeated for every multicast Count VC packet received on the AP (located under Radio tab of Configuration). Multicast (like Broadcast) packets go over a VC that is shared by all SMs, so there is no guaranteed delivery. The repeat count is an attempt to improve the odds of the packets getting over the link. If the user has issues with packets getting dropped, they can use this parameter to improve the performance at the cost of the overall throughput possible on that channel. The default value is 0. Multicast Downlink This value is the committed information rate for the multicast downlink CIR VC (located under the Radio tab of Configuration). The default value is 0 kbps. The range of this parameter is based on the number of repeat counts. The higher the repeat count, the lower the range for the multicast downlink CIR. SM Registration All This field allows to control registration of all type 450 platform SM
(450i/450/430) or 450i Series SM only. PMP 430 SM Registration This field allows to control of PMP 430 SMs whether PMP 430 SMs are allowed to register to PMP 450 APs. By default, it is enabled and PMP 430 SM registrations are accepted. When this field is set to disabled, PMP 430 SMs registrations fail with reject reason 8. This will cause SMs to lock out the AP for 15 minutes. Note This option is not displayed if the Frame Period is set to 5 ms. This option applies only to PMP 450 5 GHz APs. Control Message Controls whether the control messages are sent in MIMO-B or MIMO-
A mode. MIMO-A is recommended. However, if an AP on 13.2 is attempting to connect to an SM on 13.1.3 or before, changing to MIMO-B may aid in getting the SM registered. Page 7-197 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters PMP 450/430 Legacy Disabled: It is factory default setting. It allows to operate in 450i platform mode capabilities. Enabled: It allows to operate radio in Legacy mode PMP 450 or 430. PMP 430 Interop For n-1 compatibility, In SISO mode this forces the AP to only send Mode Control and Beacons over one of the RF paths. Receive Quality To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the Debug number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-
QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing. Frame Alignment Legacy Mode Mode Behavior (non-900 MHz Behavior (FSK 900 MHz radios) radios) OFF By default frame start is aligned with devices with Timing Port synchronization If the synchronization source changes (due to Autosync or otherwise) the radio will dynamically adjust its frame start to maintain alignment with the default frame start timing The radio will align with ON devices running

Frame Period Select the Frame Period in of the radio. The support Frame Periods are 5 ms and 2.5 ms. Color Code Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Page 7-200 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Subscriber Color This timer may be utilized to initiate SM rescans in order to register to an Code Rescan (When AP configured with the SMs primary color code. not on a Primary Color Code) The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan (if this AP is not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will only fire once if the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a nonzero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan expires, the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle is started. If the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a zero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan timer expires, the SM will immediately go into rescan mode Subscriber Color The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan while idle (if this AP is Code Wait Period for not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will fire Idle periodic events. The fired event determines if any RF unicast traffic
(either inbound or outbound) has occurred since the last event. If the results of the event determine that no RF unicast traffic has occurred
(SM is idle), then the subscriber will rescan. Installation Color With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and Code remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If a SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Max Range Enter a number of miles (or kilometers divided by 1.61, then rounded to an integer) for the furthest distance from which a SM is allowed to register to this AP. Do not set the distance to any greater number of miles. A greater distance does not increase the power of transmission from the AP. can reduce aggregate throughput. Page 7-201 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Regardless of this distance, the SM must meet the minimum requirements for an acceptable link. If the AP is in cluster, then you must set this parameter on all other APs in the cluster exactly the same, except as described in the NOTE admonition below. The default value of this parameter is 2 miles (3.2 km). Downlink Data Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink
(frames transmitted from the AP to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput on the AP is 90 Mb, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 67.5 Mb for the downlink and 22.5 Mb for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 75%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Note This setting does not prevent a device connected to the Ethernet port from accessing the management interface of other SMs in the network. To prevent this, use the IP Access Filtering Enabled selection in the IP Access Control parameter of the SMs in the network. See IP Access Control below. Contention Slots This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured
(a.k.a. Control Slots) by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page7-238. Broadcast Repeat The default is 2 repeats (in addition to the original broadcast packet, for Count a total of 3 packets sent for every one needed), and is settable to 1 or 0 repeats (2 or 1 packets for every broadcast). ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) is not present in downlink broadcast packets, since it can cause unnecessary uplink traffic from every SM for each broadcast packet. For successful transport without ARQ, the AP repeats downlink broadcast packets. The SMs filter out all repeated broadcast packets and, thus, do not transport further. The default of 2 repeats is optimum for typical uses of the network as an internet access system. In applications with heavy download broadcast such as video distribution, overall throughput is significantly improved by setting the repeat count to 1 or 0. This avoids flooding the downlink with repeat broadcast packets. Transmitter Output This value represents the combined power of the APs two transmitters. Power Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example 900 MHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to maintain awareness of applicable regulations. Page 7-202 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. External Gain This value needs to correspond to the published gain of the antenna used to ensure the radio will meet regulatory requirements. SM Receive Target Each SMs Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP. The Level AP monitors the received power from each SM, and adjusts each SMs Transmitter Output Power so that the received power at the AP from that SM is not greater what is set in this field. This value represents the transmitted and received power (combined power) perceived on the SM. Multicast VC Data This pull down menu of the Multicast Data Control screen helps in Rate configuring multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 4X or 6X. The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. Multicast Repeat This value is the number of packets that are repeated for every multicast Count VC packet received on the AP (located under Radio tab of Configuration). Multicast (like Broadcast) packets go over a VC that is shared by all SMs, so there is no guaranteed delivery. The repeat count is an attempt to improve the odds of the packets getting over the link. If the user has issues with packets getting dropped, they can use this parameter to improve the performance at the cost of the overall throughput possible on that channel. The default value is 0. Multicast Downlink This value is the committed information rate for the multicast downlink CIR VC (located under the Radio tab of Configuration). The default value is 0 kbps. The range of this parameter is based on the number of repeat counts. The higher the repeat count, the lower the range for the multicast downlink CIR. Page 7-203 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters SM Registration All This field allows to control registration of all type 450 platform SM
(450i/450/430) or 450i Series SM only. PMP 430 SM Registration This field allows to control of PMP 430 SMs whether PMP 430 SMs are allowed to register to PMP 450 APs. By default, it is enabled and PMP 430 SM registrations are accepted. When this field is set to disabled, PMP 430 SMs registrations fail with reject reason 8. This will cause SMs to lock out the AP for 15 minutes. Note This option is not displayed if the Frame Period is set to 5 ms. This option applies only to PMP 450 5 GHz APs. Control Message Controls whether the control messages are sent in MIMO-B or MIMO-
A mode. MIMO-A is recommended. However, if an AP on 13.2 is attempting to connect to an SM on 13.1.3 or before, changing to MIMO-B may aid in getting the SM registered. PMP 450/430 Legacy Disabled: It is factory default setting. It allows to operate in 450i platform mode capabilities. Enabled: It allows to operate radio in Legacy mode PMP 450 or 430. PMP 430 Interop For n-1 compatibility, In SISO mode this forces the AP to only send Mode Control and Beacons over one of the RF paths. Receive Quality To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the Debug number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-
QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing. Frame Alignment Legacy Mode Mode Behavior (non-900 MHz Behavior (FSK 900 MHz radios) radios) OFF By default frame start is aligned with devices with Timing Port synchronization If the synchronization source changes (due to Autosync or otherwise) the radio will dynamically adjust its frame start to maintain alignment with the By default frame start is aligned with FSK 900 MHz devices with Timing Port synchronization If the synchronization source changes (due to Autosync or otherwise) the radio will dynamically adjust its frame start to maintain alignment with the Page 7-204 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters default frame start default frame start timing timing The radio will align with ON devices running

See Frequency Scan Radio Frequency Scan Selection List on page 7-231. Selection List Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Scan Note Selecting multiple channel bandwidths will increase registration and re-registration times. Cyclic Prefix Scan The cyclic prefix for which AP scanning is executed. AP Selection Method Operators may configure the method by which a scanning SM selects an AP. By default, AP Selection Method is set to Optimize for Throughput, which has been the mode of operation in releases prior to 12.0.3.1. Power Level: AP selection based solely on power level or Optimize for Throughput: AP selection based on throughput optimization the selection decision is based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM registrations to the AP (which affects system contention performance). Color Code 1 Color code allows you to force the SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Specify a value from 0 to 254. Page 7-207 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). SMs may be configured with up to 20 color codes. These color codes can be tagged as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, or Disable. When the SM is scanning for APs, it will first attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs primary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs secondary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs tertiary color codes. This is all done in the scanning mode of the SM and will repeat until a registration has occurred. Color codes in the same priority group are treated equally. For example, all APs matching one of the SMs primary color codes are analyzed equally. Likewise, this evaluation is done for the secondary and tertiary groups in order. The analysis for selecting an AP within a priority group is based on various inputs, including signal strength and number of SMs already registered to each AP. The first color code in the configuration is the pre-Release 9.5 color code. Thus, it is always a primary color code for legacy reasons. The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code. Installation Color With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and Code remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. External Gain This value represents the antenna gain. For ODUs with integrated antenna, this is set at te correct value in the factory. For Connectorized ODUs with external antenna, the user must set this value to the overall antenna gain, including any RF cable loss between the ODU and the antenna. Large VC data Queue AP and BH have a configurable option used to prevent packet loss in the uplink due to bursting IP traffic. This is designed for IP burst traffic particular to video surveillance applications. Page 7-208 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Receive Quality To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the Debug number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-

Note The frequencies that a user can select are controlled by the country or a region and the Channel Bandwidth selected. There can be a case where a user adds a custom frequency (from the Custom Frequencies page on page 7-234) and cannot see it in the pull down menu.

Control Message Receive Quality Debug Pager Reject Filter In 900 MHz, Pager Reject filter is placed on the AP to block Pager signals which could cause interference to the whole band. The Pager signals typically operate in the 928-930 frequency range. When the filter is enabled, the signals of 920 MHz and above are attenuated which enables better reception of signals in the rest of the band. Note that the AP/SM should not be configured on the frequencies of 920 MHz and above when this filter is enabled.

Table 125 PTP 450i BHM Radio page attributes 5 GHz Page 7-212 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning Frequency Band Select the operating frequency band of the radio. The supported bands are 4.9 GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz. Frequency Carrier Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the BHM and the BHS. Cyclic Prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-
pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used.

Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each link a different color code. Color code allows you to force a BHS to register to only a specific BHM. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Large VC data Q Enable Large VC Q for applications that burst data high rates. Large Qs may decrease effective throughput for TCP application. Disable Large VC Q if application need not handle bursts of data. Large Qs may decrease effective throughput for TCP application. Downlink Data Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink
(frames transmitted from the BHM to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput on the BHM is 132 Mbps, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 99 Mbps for the downlink and 33 Mbps for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 50%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Note In order to prevent self-interference, the frame configuration needs to align. This includes Downlink Data, Max Range and Contention slots.

Page 7-230 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Radio Frequency Scan Selection List The SM or BHS scans complete spectrum as per Full Spectrum Band Scan feature. SMs or BHS first boot into the smallest selected channel bandwidth (10 MHz, if selected) and scan all selected frequencies across both the 5.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz frequency bands. After this scan, if a wider channel bandwidth is selected (20 MHz), the SM/BHS automatically changes to 20 MHz channel bandwidth and then scans for APs/BHSs. After the SM/BHS finishes this final scan it will evaluate the best AP/BHM with which to register. If required for registration, the SM/BHS changes its channel bandwidth back to 10 MHz to match the best AP/BHM. The SM/BHS will attempt to connect to an AP/BHM based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM/BHS registrations to the AP/BHM (which affects system contention performance). If it is desired to prioritize a certain AP/BHM over other available APs/BHMs, operators may use the Color Code Priority feature on the SM/BHS. Utilization of the Color Code feature on the AP/BHM is recommended to further constrain the AP selection. If the SM does not find any suitable APs/BHMs for registration after scanning all channel bandwidths, the SM restarts the scanning process beginning with the smallest configured channel bandwidth. Selecting multiple frequencies and multiple channel bandwidths impacts the SM/BHS scanning time. The biggest consumption of time is in the changing of the SM/BHS channel bandwidth setting. The worst case scanning time is approximately two minutes after boot up (SM/BHS with all frequencies and channel bandwidths selected and registering to an AP/BHM at 10 MHz). If only one channel bandwidth is selected the time to scan all the available frequencies and register to an AP/BHM is approximately one minute after boot up. Other scanning features such as Color Code, Installation Color Code, and RADIUS authentication are unaffected by the Full Band Scan feature. Dedicated Multicast Virtual Circuit (VC) A Multicast VC allows to configure multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 4X or 8X. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 and PMP 450i and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. To configure Multicast VC, the AP must have this enabled. This can be enabled in the Multicast Data Control section (under Configuration > Radio page). The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. To enable, select the data rate that is desired for the Multicast VC Data Rate parameter and click Save Changes button. The radio requires no reboot after any changes to this parameter. The multicast VC allows three different parameters to be configured on the AP. These can be changed on the fly and are saved on the flash memory. Page 7-231 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Note If the Multicast VC Data Rate is set to a modulation that the radio is not currently capable of or operates in non-permitted channel conditions, multicast data is sent but not received. Ex: If Multicast VC Data Rate is set to 6x and the channel conditions only permit 4x mode of operation, then multicast data is sent at 6x modulation but the SM will not receive the data. Note The PMP 450 AP supports up to 119 VCs (instead of 238 VCs) when configured for 30 MHz channel bandwidth or 5 ms Frame Period. This limitation is not applicable for PMP 450i platform. Note Actual Multicast CIR honored by the AP = Configured Multicast CINR/ (Multicast Repeat Count + 1). Increasing the Multicast data rate has no impact on the Unicast data rate. For multicast and unicast traffic mix scenario examples, see Table 138. Table 138 Example for mix of multicast and unicast traffic scenarios Repeat Count Multicast Data Unicast Data Aggregate DL Data Rate (Mbps) Rate (Mbps) Rate (Mbps) 0 1 2 10 5 3.33 40 40 40 50 45 43.33 The statistics have been added to the Data VC page (under Statistics > Data VC). The table displays the multicast row on the PMP 450 platform AP. The SM displays the multicast row if it is a PMP 450 platform. Figure 122 Multicast VC statistics The AP and SM display Transmit and Receive Multicast Data Count (under the Statistics >
Scheduler page), as shown in Figure 123. Page 7-232 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Figure 123 Multicast scheduler statistics Page 7-233 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Custom Frequencies page In addition to the Radio tab, AP/SM/BH has another tab called Custom Frequencies as shown in Table 139. The custom frequency tab allows to configure custom frequency at 1 KHz raster. It means that the custom frequencies can be at granularity of 1 KHz e.g. 4910.123 MHz, 4922.333 MHz, 4933.421 MHz etc. Note Ensure that a customer frequency exists before using SNMP to set the radio to a Custom Frequency.

Page 7-236 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters DFS for 5 GHz Radios Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a requirement in several countries and regions for 5 GHz unlicensed systems to detect radar systems and avoid co-channel operation. DFS and other regulatory requirements drive the settings for the following parameters, as discussed in this section:
Country 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. Figure 124 AP DFS Status DFS operation The ODUs use region-specific DFS based on the Country Code selected on the modules Configuration, General page. By directing installers and technicians to set the Country Code correctly, the operator gains confidence the module is operating according to national or regional regulations without having to deal with the details for each region. The details of DFS operation for each Country Code, including whether DFS is active on the AP, SM, and which DFS regulations apply is shown in Table 229 on page 10-36. Page 7-237 Chapter 7: Configuration Contention slots Configuring radio parameters The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. Uplink Data Slots are used first for data. If they are not needed for data in a given frame, the remaining data slots can be used by the SMs for bandwidth requests. This allows SMs in sectors with a small number of Contention slots configured to still successfully transmit bandwidth requests using unused data slots. A higher number of Contention slots give higher probability that a SMs bandwidth request is correctly received when the system is heavily loaded, but with the tradeoff that sector capacity is reduced, so there is less capacity to handle the request. The sector capacity reduction is about 200 kbps for each Contention slot configured in a 20 MHz channel at QPSK MIMO-A modulation. The reduction in sector capacity is proportionally higher at MIMO-B modulations (2 times at QPSK MIMO-B, 4 times at 16 QAM MIMO-B, 6 times at 64 QAM MIMO-B and 8 times at 256 QAM MIMO-
B). If very few reserved Contention slots are specified, then latency increases in high traffic periods. If too many are specified, then the maximum capacity is unnecessarily reduced. The suggested Contention slot settings as a function of the number of active VCs in the sector are shown in the table below. Table 142 Contention slots and number of VCs Number of VCs Recommended Number of Contention slots 1 to 10 11 to 50 51 to 150 151 and above 3 4 6 8 Note that each SM uses one or two VCs. All SMs have a Low Priority Channel that uses one VC; if the High Priority Channel is enabled for the SM, then the SM uses a second VC. Therefore the number of active VCs in a sector is greater than or equal to the number of SMs registered to the AP in the sector. For example, a network including 20 SMs with High Priority Channel disabled and 20 SMs with High Priority Channel enabled has 60 active VCs and may be configured with 6 Contention slots. In a typical cluster, each AP must be set to the same number of Contention slots to assure proper timing in the send and receive cycles. However, where high incidence of small packets exists, as in a sector that serves several VoIP streams, additional Contention slots may provide better results. For APs in a cluster of mismatched Contention slots setting, or where PMP 450 is collocated with radios using different technologies, like PMP 430 or FSK, in the same frequency band, use the frame calculator.

Page 7-238 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters MIMO-A mode of operation PMP/PTP 450 platform supports MIMO-B mode using the following modulation levels: QPSK, 16-
QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM. System Release 13.2 introduces MIMO-A mode of operation using the same modulation levels as the MIMO-B mode. With MIMO-B, the radio sends different streams of data over the two antennas whereas with MIMO-A, the radio uses a scheme that tries to optimize coverage by transmitting the same data over both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver making it more robust, at the cost of throughput. In addition to introducing MIMO-A modes, improvements have been made to the existing rate adapt algorithm to switch between MIMO-A and MIMO-B seamlessly without any intervention or added configuration by the operator. The various modulation levels used by the PMP 450 are shown in Table 143.

Page 7-240 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Improved PPS performance of PMP 450 and 450i SMs The PMP 450 platforms Series provides improved packets per second (PPS) performance with regards to the PMP 450. Through hardware and software enhancements, the PPS performance of the PMP 450i AP has been improved to 40000 packets/second, measured through a standard RFC2544 test using 64 bytes packets. With this enhancement, operators are able to provide higher bandwidth including better VoIP and video services to end customers using existing SM deployments. Page 7-241 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Setting up SNMP agent Operators may use SNMP commands to set configuration parameters and retrieve data from the AP and SM modules. Also, if enabled, when an event occurs, the SNMP agent on the PMP/PTP 450 platform sends a trap to whatever SNMP trap receivers configured in the management network. SNMPv2c SNMPv3 Page 7-242 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Configuring SM/BHSs IP over-the-air access To access the SM/BHS management interface from a device situated above the AP, the SM/BHSs Network Accessibility parameter (under the web GUI at Configuration > IP) may be set to Public. Table 146 LAN1 Network Interface Configuration tab of IP page attributes Attribute Meaning IP Address Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Network Accessibility Specify whether the IP address of the SM/BHS must be visible to only a device connected to the SM/BHS by Ethernet (Local) or be visible to the AP/BHM as well (Public). Subnet Mask parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM/BHS for RF If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this management traffic. Gateway IP Address parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM/BHS for RF If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this management traffic. If Enabled is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the DHCP state values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable (read only), in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS IP Address DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS Server The first address used for DNS resolution. Page 7-243 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Alternate DNS If the Preferred DNS server cannot be reached, the Alternate DNS Server Server is used. Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Configuring SNMP The SNMP page configuration is explained below. Note The SNMP page for AP, SM, BHM and BHS has the same parameter attributes. SNMP page AP/SM/BHM/BHS The SNMP page is explained in Table 147. Page 7-244 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Table 147 SNMP page attributes Page 7-245 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Attribute Meaning SNMP Community Specify a control string that can allow a Network Management Station String 1
(NMS) to access SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopy. SNMP Community You can designate the SNMP Community String 1 to be the password String 1 Permissions for WM, for example, to have Read / Write access to the module via SNMP or for all SNMP access to the module to be Read Only. SNMP Community Specify an additional control string that can allow a Network String 2 (Read Only) Management Station (NMS) to read SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopyro. This password will never authenticate a user or an NMS to read/write access. The Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor. Additional security derives from the configuration of the Accessing Subnet, Trap Address, and Permission parameters. Engine ID The Engine ID may be between 5 and 32 hex characters. The hex character input is driven by RFC 3411 recommendations on the Engine ID. The default Engine ID is the MAC address of the device SNMPv3 Security Specify security model where users are defined and authenticated Level before granting access to any SNMP service. Each device can configure the security level of SNMPv3 to No authentication/No privacy, Authentication/No privacy, or Authentication/Privacy. Currently, the SNMPv3 authentication protocol MD5 is supported. SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol SNMPv3 Privacy Currently, the SNMPv3 privacy protocol CBC-DES is supported. Protocol SNMPv3 Read-Only This filed allows for a read-only user per devices. The default values for User the Read-Only users is:
Username = Canopyro Authentication Password = authCanopyro Privacy Password = privacyCanopyro SNMPv3 Read/Write Read-write user by default is disabled. The default values for the User Read/Write users is :
Username = Canopy Authentication Password = authCanopy Privacy Password = privacyCanopy SNMPv3 Trap Configuration When enabling transmission of SNMPv3 traps the read-only or read-
write user credentials must be used and selected properly in order for the SNMP manager to correctly interpret the traps. By default transmission of SNMPv3 traps is disabled and all traps sent from the radios are in SNMPv2c format. Page 7-246 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Accessing IP /
Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this Subnet Mask 1 to 10 AP. The NMS has an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form
/xx For example:
the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet). 192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range 192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the AP, presuming that the device supplies the correct Community String value. The default treatment is to allow all networks access. For more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on Classless Interdomain Routing. You are allowed to specify as many as 10 different accessing IP address, subnet mask combinations. RECOMMENDATION:
The subscriber can access the SM/BHS by changing the subscriber device to the accessing subnet. This hazard exists because the Community String and Accessing Subnet are both visible parameters. To avoid this hazard, configure the SM/BHS to filter (block) SNMP requests. SNMP Trap Server The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the DNS Usage name of the trap server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. The default SNMP trap server addresses for all 10 available servers is 0.0.0.0 with the appending of the DNS domain name disabled. Trap Address 1 to 10 Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or DNS names to which SNMP traps must be sent. Traps inform Wireless Manager or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent after a reboot of the module. when an NMS attempts to access agent information but either supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number. is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed. Trap Enable, Sync If the sync status traps (sync lost and sync regained) have to be sent to Status Wireless Manager or an NMS, select Enabled. If these traps have to be suppressed, select Disabled. Trap Enable, Session If you want session status traps sent to Wireless Manager or an NMS, Status select Enabled. Page 7-247 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Site Information Operators can enable or disable site information from appearing when a Viewable to Guest user is in GUEST account mode. Users Site Name Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is written into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Site Contact Enter contact information for the module administrator. This parameter is written into the sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Site Location Enter information about the physical location of the module. This parameter is written into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Page 7-248 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Configuring syslog PMP/PTP 450 platform Series includes below sections. Syslog event logging Configuring system logging Page 7-249 Chapter 7: Configuration Syslog event logging Following events are logged in syslog as explained in Table 148. Table 148 Syslog parameters Attribute Meaning Configuring syslog Timestamp All syslog messages captured from the radio have a timestamp. Configuration This includes any device setting that has changed and includes the old Changes or new parameter value, including the device reboots. User Login and Logout Add or Delete of user Syslog records each user login and logout, with username. accounts through Syslog captures any user accounts that are added or deleted. GUI and SNMP Spectrum Analysis Syslog records a message every time Spectrum Analysis runs. Note Since the AP/BHM must be set to a SM/BHS for Spectrum Analysis, syslog messages are not reported from the radio until the scan is done and the radio mode is switched back to AP/BHM. Link Test Syslog records a message every time a Link Test is run. Clear Statistics SM Register or De-
register BHS Connect or Disconnect Syslog sends a message when Statistics are cleared. This is done individually for each statistics page that is cleared. Syslog records a message when a SM registers or deregisters. Syslog records a message when a BHS connects or disconnects. Configuring system logging To configure system logging, select the menu option Configuration > Syslog. Syslog page of AP/BHM The Syslog Configuration page for AP/BHM is shown in Table 149. Page 7-250 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Table 149 Syslog Configuration attributes - AP Attribute Meaning Syslog DNS Server Usage To configure the AP/BHM to append or not append the DNS server name to the syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port AP Syslog Transmit Or BHM Syslog Transmit The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. When enabled, syslog messages are sent from the AP/BHM. SM Syslog Transmit When enabled, syslog messages are sent from all the registered Or BHS Syslog Transmit SMs/BHS, unless they are individually set to override this. This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. Syslog Minimum Level Syslog page of SM To configure system logging, select the menu option Configuration > Syslog. The Syslog Configuration page is shown in Table 150. Page 7-251 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Table 150 Syslog Configuration attributes - SM Attribute Meaning Syslog Configuration This control determines whether the SM will attempt to use the syslog Source server definition from the AP, or whether it will use a local server definition. When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the syslog server defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any. When set to Local only the SM ignores the APs definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for each SM. Syslog DNS Server To configure the SM to append or not the DNS server name to the Usage syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. Syslog Transmission Controls the SMs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to Learn from AP the AP will control whether this SM transmits syslog messages. When set to enable or disable the SM will control whether it sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override the AP settings for individual SMs in a sector. This control determines whether the SM attempts to use the minimum syslog level defined by the AP, or whether it uses a local defined value using the Syslog Minimum Level parameter. Syslog Minimum Level Source When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the Syslog Minimum Level defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting. When set to Local only the SM will always use its own Syslog Minimum Level setting and ignores the APs setting. Page 7-252 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Syslog Minimum Level This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. Syslog page of BHS The Syslog Configuration page is shown in Table 151. Table 151 Syslog Configuration attributes - BHS Attribute Meaning Syslog Configuration This control determines whether the BHS will attempt to use the syslog Source server definition from the BHM, or whether it will use a local server definition. When set to BHM preferred, use local when BHM configuration unavailable, and if the BHS can register with a BHM, then it uses the syslog server defined on that BHM. If the BHS cannot register then it will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any. When set to Local only the BHS ignores the BHMs definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for each BHS. Syslog DNS Server To configure the BHS to append or not to append the DNS server name Usage to the syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. Syslog Transmission Controls the BHSs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to Learn from BHM the BHM will control whether this BHS transmits syslog messages. When set to enable or disable the BHS will control Page 7-253 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Syslog Minimum Level Source Syslog Minimum Level whether it sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override the BHM settings for individual BHSs in a sector. This control determines whether the BHS attempts to use the minimum syslog level defined by the BHM, or whether it uses a local defined value using the Syslog Minimum Level parameter. When set to BHM preferred, use local when BHM configuration unavailable, and if the BHS can register with a BHM, then it uses the Syslog Minimum Level defined on that BHM. If the BHS cannot register then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting. When set to Local only the BHS will always use its own Syslog Minimum Level setting and ignores the BHMs setting. This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. Page 7-254 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring remote access Configuring remote access Accessing SM/BHS over-the-air by Web Proxy The SM/BHS may be accessed via the AP/BHM management GUI by navigating to Home > Session Status (or Home > Remote Subscribers for AP only) and clicking on the SMs hyperlink. For example, to access one of the SMs, click LUID: 002 [0a-00-3e-37-b9-fd], as shown in Figure 125. Figure 125 AP Session Status page The SessionStatus.xml hyper link allows user to export all displayed SM data in Session Status table into an xml file. To access any one of the SMs, click PMP450 platform SM hyperlink, as shown in Figure 126. Figure 126 AP Remote Subscribers page Page 7-255 Chapter 7: Configuration Monitoring the Link Monitoring the Link Link monitoring procedure After configuring the link, either an operator in the network office or the SM/BHS INSTALLER user in the field (if read access to the AP/BHM is available to the INSTALLER) must perform the following procedure. Who is authorized and able to do this depends on local operator password policy, management VLAN setup and operational practices. To monitor the link for performance, follow these instructions:
Procedure 22 Monitoring the AP-SM link 1 Access the web interface of the AP/BHM 2 In the left-side menu of the AP/BHM interface, select Home. 3 Click the Session Status tab. Figure 127 Session Status page 4 The Device tab of Session Status List display all displayed SMs MAC address, PMP/PTP Hardware, Software Version, FPGA Version and State Page 7-256 Chapter 7: Configuration Monitoring the Link 5 Click Session Count tab of Session Status List to display values for Session Count, Reg Count, and Re-Reg Count. Session Count: This field displays how many sessions the SM/BHS has had with the AP/BHM. Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. Reg Count: When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is not currently in session database and it is valid Registration Request, then the request increments the value of this field. Re-Reg Count: When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is currently in session database, then the request increments the value of this field. Typically, a Re-Reg is the case where both o SM/BHS attempts to reregister for having lost communication with the AP/BHM. o AP/BHM has not yet observed the link to the SM/BHS as being down. See Session tab on page 9-17 6 Click Power tab of Session Status list to display Downlink Rate, AP Rx Power (dBm), Signal Strength Radio (dB) for Uplink and Signal to Noise Radio (dB) for Uplink. See Power tab on page 9-19 7 Click Configuration tab of Session Status list to get QoS configuration details:
Sustained Data Rate (kbps) Burst Allocation (kbit) Max Burst Rate (kbit) Low Priority CIR (kbps) See Configuration tab on page 9-20 8 Briefly monitor these values, occasionally refreshing this page by clicking another tab and then the Session Status tab again. 9 If these values are low (for example, 1, 1, and 0, respectively, meaning that the SM/BHS registered and started a stable session once) and are not changing:
Consider the installation successful. Monitor these values from the network office over the next several hours and days. If these values are greater than 1, 1, and 0, or they increase while you are monitoring them, troubleshoot the link. (For example, Use Receive Power Level for aiming and then use Link Tests to confirm alignment). Refer Viewing Session Status on page 9-16 for more details.

Figure 128 Exporting Session Status page of PMP 450i AP In case of PMP, if the session status page does not list any SM, the SessionStatus.xml will still be visible but the file would be empty. The file will contain data from all of the 5 different tables. Export from command line The scripts users can also get this file from command line, you have to authenticate successfully in order to download the file.

Sustained Uplink Data Rate (kbps) Uplink Burst Allocation (kb) Sustained Downlink Data Rate (kbps) Downlink Burst Allocation (kb) Max Burst Downlink Data Rate (kbps) Max Burst Uplink Data Rate (kbps) Set each of these parameters per AP or per SM independently. Token Bucket Algorithm The software uses a token bucket algorithm that has the following features:
Stores credits (tokens) for the SM to spend on bandwidth for reception or transmission. Drains tokens during reception or transmission. Refills with tokens at the sustained rate set by the network operator. 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. When the SM transmits (or the AP transmits) a packet, the equivalent number of tokens is removed from the uplink (or downlink) bucket. Except when full, the bucket is continuously being refilled with tokens at rates that the applicable set of Sustained Uplink Data Rate and Sustained Downlink Data Rate parameters specify. The bucket often drains at a rate that is much faster than the sustained data rate but can refill at only the sustained data rate. Thus, the effects of the allocation and rate parameters on packet delay are as follows:
The burst allocation affects how many kilobits are processed before packet delay is imposed. The sustained data rate affects the packet delay that is imposed. Page 7-259 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service MIR Data Entry Checking Uplink and downlink MIR is enforced as shown in Figure 129. Note In these figures, entry refers to the setting in the data rate parameter, not the burst allocation parameter. Figure 129 Uplink and downlink rate caps adjusted to apply aggregate cap 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 is enforced for the SM can be calculated as shown in Figure 130. Figure 130 Uplink and downlink rate cap adjustment example
`
In this example case, the derived 1,167-kbps uplink and 5,833-kbps downlink MIR sum to the fixed 7,000-kbps aggregate cap of the SM. Committed Information Rate (CIR) The Committed Information Rate (CIR) capability feature enables the service provider to guarantee to any subscriber that bandwidth will never decrease to below a specified minimum unless CIR is oversubscribed or RF conditions are degraded. CIR is oversubscribed when there is not enough available bandwidth to support CIR configuration for all subscribers. In this condition, SMs which are configured with a nonzero CIR will all operate at the maximum data rate supported by the link
(subject to Maximum Information Rate and Burst Rate/Allocations). SMs which are configured with a CIR of 0 kbps will not transmit until CIR-configured SMs have completed transmission. CIR may be configured independently for high priority traffic and for low priority traffic. CIR parameters may be configured in the following ways:
Web-based management GUI SNMP Authentication Server (RADIUS) - when a SM successfully registers and authenticates, CIR information is retrieved from the RADIUS server.

Bandwidth from the SM Perspective In the SM, normal web browsing, e-mail, small file transfers and short streaming video are rarely rate limited with practical bandwidth management (QoS) settings. When the SM processes large downloads such as software upgrades and long streaming video or a series of medium-size downloads, the bucket rapidly drains, the burst limit is reached, and some packets are delayed. The subscriber experience is more affected in cases where the traffic is more latency sensitive. 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. After the burst, the bucket experiences a significant refill at the Sustained Data Rate. This configuration uses the advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. If both the Burst Allocation and the Sustained Data Rate are set to 128 kb, a burst is limited to the Burst Allocation value. This configuration does not take advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. If the Burst Allocation is set to 128 kb and the Sustained Data Rate is set to 256 kbps, the actual rate is the burst allocation (but in kbps). As above, this configuration does not take advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. High-priority Bandwidth To support low-latency traffic such as VoIP (Voice over IP) or video, the system implements a high-
priority channel. This channel does not affect the inherent latencies in the system but allows high-
priority traffic to be immediately served. The high-priority pipe separates low-latency traffic from traffic that is latency tolerant, such as standard web traffic and file downloads. The number of channels available on the AP is reduced by the number of SMs configured for the high-priority channel (each SM operating with high-priority enabled uses two channels (virtual circuits) instead of one). A module prioritizes traffic by reading the Low Latency bit (Bit 3) in the IPv4 Type of Service (ToS) byte in a received packet. Bit 3 is set by a device outside the system. reading the 802.1p field of the 802.1Q header in a received packet, where VLAN is enabled on the module. comparing the 6-bit Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field in the ToS byte of a received packet to a corresponding value in the Diffserv tab of the Configuration page of the module. A packet contains no flag that indicates whether the encoding is for the Low Latency bit or the DSCP field. For this reason, you must ensure that all elements in your trusted domain, including routers and endpoints, set and read the ToS byte with the same scheme. Modules monitor ToS bytes with DSCP fields, but with the following differences:
The 6-bit length of the field allows it to specify one of 64 service differentiations. Page 7-261 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service These correlate to 64 individual (CodePoint) parameters in the Diffserv tab of the Configuration page. Per RFC 2474, 3 of these 64 are preset and cannot be changed. (See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1902.html.) For any or all of the remaining 61 CodePoint parameters, you can specify a value of o 0 through 3 for low-priority handling. o 4 through 7 for high-priority handling. Note Ensure that your Differentiated Services domain boundary nodes mark any entering packet, as needed, so that it specifies the appropriate Code Point for that traffic and domain. This prevents theft of service level. An example of the Diffserv page in the Configuration menu and parameter descriptions are provided under DiffServ attributes AP/BHM on page 7-131. This tab and its rules are identical from module type to module type. However, any of the 61 configurable Code Points can be set to a different value from module to module, thus defining unique per-hop behavior for some traffic. This tab in the AP sets the priorities for the various packets in the downstream (sent from the public network). This tab in the SM 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. The default values in the Diffserv page allow your modules to prioritize traffic from the older devices roughly the same as they traditionally have. However, these default values may result in more high-priority traffic as DSCP fields from the newer devices are read and handled. So, after making changes in the Diffserv page, carefully monitor the high-priority channel for high packet rates in SMs that you have identified as those to initially set and watch. across your network when you have broadly implemented Code Point values, such as via SNMP.

See the dedicated user guide that supports the CMM that you are deploying. Packets that have a priority of 4 to 7 in either the DSCP or a VLAN 802.1p tag are automatically sent on the high-priority channel, but only where the high-priority channel is enabled. Page 7-263 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service Setting the Configuration Source The AP includes a Configuration Source parameter, which sets where SMs that register to the AP are controlled for MIR, CIR, VLAN, and the high-priority channel as follows. The Configuration Source parameter affects the source of:

See Maximum Information Rate (MIR) Parameters on page 7-259 Interaction of Burst Allocation and Sustained Data Rate Settings on page 7-261 Configuration Source on page 7-141 Broadcast Downlink Broadcast Downlink CIR (Committed Information Rate, a minimum) CIR supports system designs where downlink broadcast is desired to have higher priority than other traffic. For many other system designs, especially typical internet access networks, leave the Broadcast Downlink CIR at the default. Broadcast Downlink CIR is closely related to the Broadcast Repeat Count parameter, which is settable in the Radio tab of the Configuration page in the AP: when the Broadcast Repeat Count is changed, the total of available bandwidth is also changed, since packets are being sent one, two, or three times, according to the setting in the Broadcast Repeat Count parameter. Priority Precedence Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. PPPoE Control Operators may configure the SM to utilize the high priority channel for Message Priority PPPoE control messages. Configuring the SM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the SM. Prioritize TCP ACK To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements.

Page 7-271 Chapter 7: Configuration Installation Color Code Installation Color Code With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If an SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using the Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Figure 131 Installation Color Code of AP Page 7-272 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 This feature allows an SM to get its configuration via DHCP option 66. This can be used for the initial configuration of an SM as well as managing the configuration of SMs on an ongoing basis. Here is how it works in brief:
When the SM boots up, if it is set to use DHCP client, it will send out a DHCP Discover packet which includes a request for DHCP Option 66. In case of a brand new SM out of the box, the DHCP Discover packet is sent out if the SM connects to an AP using Installation Color Code (ICC), even though DHCP client is not enabled in factory default config. An appropriately configured DHCP server will respond with a DHCP Offer and include a URL in response to the Option 66 request. The URL should point to the configuration file. The device will download the configuration file and apply it. The device will reboot automatically if needed. (Note: this requires rebootIfRequired flag to be added to the config file. See Creating a Golden config file on page 7-274. Configuration Steps Procedure 23 Zero Touch Configuration steps 1 Create the golden config file(s) 2 Host it on an TFTP/FTP/HTTP/HTTPS server 3 Configure the DHCP server to return the URL of the golden config file in option 66 When the SM boots up, it will get the URL for the golden config from the DHCP server via option 66, download it and apply it. If all the SMs are configured exactly the same, then you can create just new golden config file that can be used with all SMs. If the SMs are not configured the same, see if it is possible to group the SMs such that SMs with the same configuration are served by the same DHCP pool. User can then create multiple golden config files and configure the DHCP server to use the appropriate config file for each pool. User can also create one config file per SM. This provides the most flexibility, but is practical only if you have a software tool/script to generate the config files for each MAC address. The files should be named <mac>.cfg where <mac> is the MAC address of the SM, and stored in the same directory on the file server. The DHCP server should be configured to return the directory name ending with a / in option 66. The SM will automatically add <mac>.cfg to the path and get its config file. Page 7-273 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 If some configuration is unique per SM, but rest of the configuration is common, the SMs can be staged with the unique part, and use option 66 to manage the common part. For example, if each SM needs to have its coordinates set, dont include the coordinates in the golden config file. Instead, configure the coordinates for each SM manually. Manage the rest of the configuration using DHCP option 66. Creating a Golden config file The easiest way to create the golden config file is to configure an SM, export its configuration and edit it. To export the configuration file from the GUI of the SM, go to Configuration > Unit Settings tab, go to the Download Configuration File section and click on the <mac>.cfg link. This will give you a text file in JSON format. You can edit this file in a text editor but its easier to use a JSON editor like https://www.jsoneditoronline.org/. Strip down the config file to remove sections and entries that dont care about, and keep only the items that require changes. If there are many required changes, it can easily get confusing. To identify the exact items changes, first reset the SM to factory default, export the config file, make the necessary changes, export a second config file, then use a tool like WinMerge
(http://winmerge.org/) to identify the differences. The config file contains the following informational entries at the top level.
"cfgUtcTimestamp": "cfgUtcTimestamp",
"swVersion": "CANOPY 13.3 (Build 15) SM-AES",
"cfgFileString": "Canopy configuration file",
"srcMacAddress": "0a-00-3e-a2-c2-74",
"deviceType": "5.4/5.7GHz MIMO OFDM - Subscriber Module",
"cfgFileVersion": "1.0"
The cfgUtcTimestamp, swVersion, srcMacAddress and deviceType lines can be deleted. Do not delete the cfgFileString and cfgFileVersion entries. Next, create an object named configFileParameters at the top level. Under that, add a parameter called rebootIfRequired and set it to true. This tells the SM to reboot automatically if a reboot is needed to apply the new configuration. A sample configuration file that has been edited for use via DHCP option 66 is given below.

In case, the SM needs to fetch the configuration file on each boot up even when not connecting to AP via ICC, set Network Accessibility to Public and DHCP State to Enabled in the Configuration > IP page before exporting the configuration. Hosting the config file Copy the golden configuration file to an FTP, TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS server. This location can be password protected; you just have to include the user name and password in the URL. DHCP server configuration Configure DHCP server to return the full URL to the golden config file as the value of DHCP option 66. Page 7-275 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 The following example explains how to make the change for Windows Server 2008. Adapt it to your specific DHCP server. Procedure 24 DHCP server configuration 1 Click Start > Administrative Tools > DHCP 2 If you have multiple Scopes defined, identify the correct Scope that will serve IP addresses for the SMs 3 Right click on Scope Option under the correct Scope and select Configure Options Page 7-276 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 4 In the Scope Options dialog, scroll down to 066 Boot Server Host Name, select the checkbox and enter the full URL to the golden config file as the String value. Then click OK. 5 In the DHCP snap-in window, right click and Refresh to see the DHCP option 66 in the list of DHCP options Supported URL Formats FTP, TFTP, HTTP and HTTPS URLs are supported. Some examples are given below. ftp://10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg ftp://admin:admin123@10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg (login as admin with password admin123) tftp://10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg http://10.120.163.253/golden-config.cfg https://10.120.163.253/smconfig/golden-config.cfg User can also specify the URL pointing to a directory and not a specific file. Terminate the URL with a / to indicate that it is a directory and not a file. Use this format when each SM has its own individual config file. The directory should contain files named <mac>.cfg, one for each SM. For example:
ftp://10.120.163.253/smconfig/
Page 7-277 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 In this case, the SM will append <mac>.cfg to the path and try to get that file. For example, if the SMs MAC address is 0a-00-3e-a2-c2-74, it will request for ftp://10.120.163.253/smconfig/0a003ea2c274.cfg. This mechanism can be used to serve individual config file for each SM. Troubleshooting 1 Ensure that te SM is running 13.3 or newer version of software. 2 If the SM has factory default config, confirm ICC is enabled on the AP, so the SM can connect to it. 3 If the SM is connecting to the AP using a color code other than ICC, make sure the SM has Network Accessibility set to Public and DHCP State set to Enabled in the Configuration > IP page. 4 Make sure the golden config file does not turn off Network Accessibility or DHCP State. If it does, the SM will no longer request the config file when it is rebooted. 5 Check the event log of the SM to see the status of the configuration file import including any errors that prevented it from importing the file. 6 Capture the DHCP Offer packet from the DHCP server to the SM and verify that Option 66 has the expected URL. Page 7-278 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring Radio via config file Configuring Radio via config file The PMP/PTP 450 platform supports export and import of a configuration file from the AP or SM as a text file. The configuration file is in JSON format. To export or import the configuration file, the logged in user needs to be an ADMINISTRATOR and it must not be a read-only account. The exported configuration file contains the complete configuration including all the default values. To keep a backup of the current configuration, the file can be saved as-is and imported later. While importing a configuration file, it can be either imported the full configuration or a sparse configuration containing only the items that need to be changed. If a sparse configuration file is imported, only the items in the file will be imported. Other configuration will remain unchanged. There could also be used a special flag in the configuration file to tell the device to apply the configuration starting from factory default (Refer Special Headers for configuration file on page 7-
280). Import and Export of config file The config file import and export is supported in Configuration > Unit Settings page. The procedure for importing and exporting config file is explained below.

Procedure 27 Special Headers for configuration file 1 A "configFileParameters" section can be added to the header to control the behaviour of the device when importing configuration. 2 The "setToDefaults" when set to "true" tell the device to reset to factory default configuration and apply the configuration in the file on top of that. So any attribute not in the configuration file will be set to its factory default value. By default, the configuration in the file is merged with the existing configuration on the device. The "rebootIfRequired" flag when set to "true" tell the device to reboot automatically if needed to apply the configuration change. By default, the device will not reboot automatically.

Page 7-280 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server in a PMP 450 platform network is optional, but can provide added security, increase ease of network management and provide usage-based billing data. Understanding RADIUS for PMP 450 platform PMP 450 platform modules include support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol supporting Authentication and Accounting. RADIUS Functions RADIUS protocol support provides the following functions:
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. SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), CIR
(Committed Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP. SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. Centralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events
(logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Networks Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account. Framed IP allows operators to use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules (framed IP address). Tested RADIUS Servers The Canopy RADIUS implementation has been tested and is supported on FreeRADIUS, Version 2.1.8 Aradial RADIUS, Version 5.1.12 Microsoft RADIUS (Windows Server 2012 R2 version) Cisco ACS, Version 5.7.0.15 Page 7-281 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Aradial 5.3 has a bug that prevents remote device login, so doesnt support the user name and password management feature. Choosing Authentication Mode and Configuring for Authentication Servers - AP On the APs Configuration > Security tab, select the RADIUS AAA Authentication Mode. The following describes the other Authentication Mode options for reference, and then the RADIUS AAA option. Disabled: Requires no authentication. Any SM (except a SM that itself has been configured to require RADIUS authentication by enabling Enforce Authentication as described below) is allowed to register to the AP. Authentication Server: Authentication Server in this instance refers to Wireless Manager in BAM-only mode. Authentication is required for a SM to register to the AP. Only SMs listed by MAC address in the Wireless Manager database is allowed to register to the AP. AP Pre-Shared Key: Canopy offers a pre-shared key authentication option. In this case, an identical key must be entered in the Authentication Key field on the APs Configuration >
Security tab and in the Authentication Key field on each desired SMs Configuration >
Security tab. RADIUS AAA: To support RADIUS authentication of SMs, on the APs Configuration >
Security tab select RADIUS AAA. Only properly configured SMs with a valid certificate is allowed to register to the AP. When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. The default IP address is 0.0.0.0. The default Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret can be up to 32 ASCII characters (no diacritical marks or ligatures, for example). Page 7-282 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Table 160 Security tab attributes Page 7-283 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Attribute Meaning Authentication Mode Operators may use this field to select the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate. Authentication Server the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration. AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its SMs and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none of the SMs is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network and does not progress trying the other servers. Authentication Server DNS Usage The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the authentication server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. Authentication Server 1 Authentication Server 2 Authentication Server 3 Enter the IP address or server name of the authentication server
(RADIUS or WM) and the Shared Secret configured in the authentication server. When Authentication Mode RADIUS AAA is selected, the default value of Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret Authentication may consist of up to 32 ASCII characters. Server 4 (BAM Only) Authentication Server 5 (BAM Only) Radius Port This field allows the operator to configure a custom port for RADIUS server communication. The default value is 1812. Authentication Key The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP Pre-Shared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Page 7-284 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Selection Key This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication Encryption Key Specify the type of airlink security to apply to this AP. The encryption setting must match the encryption setting of the SMs. None provides no encryption on the air link. DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. SM Display of AP You can use this field to suppress the display of data about this AP on Evaluation Data the AP Evaluation tab of the Tools page in all SMs that register. Web, Telnet, FTP Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, Session Timeout telnet, or ftp access to the AP. IP Access Control You can permit access to the AP from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address Allowed Source IP 1 If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the AP from any IP address. You may populate as many as all three. Allowed Source IP 2 If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control Allowed Source IP 3 parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted. Web Access The Radio supports secured and non-secured web access protocols. Select suitable web access from drop down list:
HTTP Only provides non-secured web access. The radio to be accessed via http://<IP of Radio>. HTTPS Only provides a secured web access. The radio to be accessed via https1://<IP of Radio>. Page 7-285 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server HTTP and HTTPS If enabled, the radio can be accessed via both http and https. SNMP This option allows to configure SNMP agent communication version. It can be selected from drop down list :
SNMPv2c Only Enables SNMP v2 community protocol. SNMPv3 Only Enables SNMP v3 protocol. It is secured communication protocol. SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 It enables both the protocols. Telnet FTP TFTP This option allows to Enable and Disable Telnet access to the Radio. This option allows to Enable and Disable FTP access to the Radio. This option allows to Enable and Disable TFTP access to the Radio. Page 7-286 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server SM Authentication Mode Require RADIUS or Follow AP If it is desired that a SM will only authenticate to an AP that is using RADIUS, on the SMs Configuration Security tab set Enforce Authentication to AAA. With this enabled, SM does not register to an AP that has any Authentication Mode other than RADIUS AAA selected. If it is desired that a SM use the authentication method configured on the AP it is registering to, set Enforce Authentication to Disabled. With Enforce Authentication disabled, a SM will attempt to register using whichever Authentication Mode is configured on the AP it is attempting to register to. Note Having SMs to use RADIUS by enabling Enforce Authentication avoids the security issue of SMs possibly registering to rogue APs, which have authentication disabled. Table 161 SM Security tab attributes Page 7-287 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Attribute Meaning Authentication Key Authentication Mode is set to AP PreShared Key. By default, this key is The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is Select Key used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication The SM may enforce authentication types of AAA and AP Pre-
Enforce sharedKey. The SM will not finish the registration process if the AP is not Authentication using the configured authentication method (and the SM locks out the AP for 15 minutes). Enforce Authentication default setting is Disable. The protocols supported for the Phase 1 (Outside Identity) phase of authentication are EAPTTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Tunneled Transport Layer Security) or MSCHAPv2 (Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2). Select the desired Phase 2 (Inside Identity) authentication protocol from the Phase 2 options of PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), and MSCHAP
(Microsofts version of CHAP, version 2 is used). The protocol must be consistent with the authentication protocol configured on the RADIUS server. Phase 1 Phase 2 Page 7-288 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Identity/Realm Username If Realms are being used, select Enable Realm and configure an outer identity in the Identity field and a Realm in the Realm field. These must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity and Realm configured in the RADIUS server. The default Identity is anonymous. The Identity can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. The default Realm is canopy.net. The Realm can also be up to 128 non-
special alphanumeric characters. Configure an outer Identity in the Username field. This must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity username configured in the RADIUS server. The default Phase 1/Outer Identity Username is anonymous. The Username can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. Enter a Username for the SM.

The Password can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. Page 7-291 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Handling Certificates Managing SM Certificates via the SM GUI The default public Canopy certificates are loaded into SMs upon factory software installation. The default certificates are not secure and are intended for use during lab and field trials as part of gaining experience with the RADIUS functionalities or as an option during debug. For secure operation, an operator will want to create or procure their own certificates. Resetting a SM to its factory defaults will remove the current certificates and restore the default certificates. Up to two certificates can be resident on a SM. An installed certificate can be deleted by clicking the Delete button in the certificates description block on the Configuration > Security tab. To restore the 2 default certificates, click the Use Default Certificates button in the RADIUS Certificate Settings parameter block and reboot the radio. To upload a certificate manually to a SM, first load it in a known place on your PC or network drive, then click on a Delete button on one of the Certificate description blocks to delete a certificate to provide space for your certificate. Click on Choose File, browse to the location of the certificate, and click the Import Certificate button, and then reboot the radio to use the new certificate. When a certificate is in use, after the SM successfully registers to an AP, an indication of In Use will appear in the description block of the certificate being used. The public certificates installed on the SMs are used with the private certificate on the RADIUS server to provide a public/private key encryption system. Note Root certificates of more than one level (Example - a certificate from someone who received their CA from Verisign) fails. Certificates must be either root or self-signed. Page 7-292 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Figure 133 SM Certificate Management Configuring RADIUS servers for SM authentication Your RADIUS server must be configured to use the following:
EAPTTLS or MSCHAPv2 as the Phase 1/Outer Identity protocol. If Enable Realm is selected on the SMs Configuration > Security tab, then the same Realm appears there (or access to it). The same Phase 2 (Inner Identity) protocol as configured on the SMs Configuration >
Security tab under Phase 2 options. The username and password for each SM configured on each SMs Configuration > Security tab. An IP address and NAS shared secret that is the same as the IP address and Shared Secret configured on the APs Configuration > Security tab for that RADIUS server. Page 7-293 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server A server private certificate, server key, and CA certificate that complement the public certificates distributed to the SMs, as well as the Canopy dictionary file that defines Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAa). Default certificate files and the dictionary file are available from the software site: https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 after entering your name, email address, and either Customer Contract Number or the MAC address of a module covered under the 12 month warranty. Optionally, operators may configure the RADIUS server response messages (Accept or Reject) so that the user has information as to why they have been rejected. The AP displays the RADIUS Authentication Reply message strings in the Session Status list as part of each SMs information. The SM will show this string (listed as Authentication Response on the SM GUI) on the main Status page in the Subscriber Module Stats section. Note Aradial AAA servers only support operator-configurable Authentication Accept responses, not Authentication Reject responses. Page 7-294 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Assigning SM management IP addressing via RADIUS Operators may use a RADIUS AAA server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules
(framed IP address). SMs now interpret attributes Framed-IP-Address, Framed-IP-Netmask, and Cambium-Canopy-Gateway from RADIUS. The RADIUS dictionary file has been updated to include the Cambium-Canopy-Gateway attribute and is available on the Cambium Software Support website. In order for these attributes to be assigned and used by the SM, the following must be true:
The system is configured for AAA authentication The SM is not configured for DHCP on its management interface. If DHCP is enabled and these attributes are configured in the RADIUS server, the attributes is ignored by the SM. The SM management interface must be configured to be publically accessible. If the SM is configured to have local accessibility, the management interface will still be assigned the framed addressing, and the SM iscome publicly accessible via the assigned framed IP addressing. When using these attributes, for the addressing to be implemented by the SM operators must configure Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS. If Framed-IP-Address is not configured but Framed-
IP-Netmask and/or Cambium-Canopy-Gateway is configured, the attributes is ignored. In the case where only the Framed-IP-Address is configured, Framed-IP-Netmask defaults to 255.255.0.0 (NAT disabled) / 255.255.255.0 (NAT enabled) and Cambium-Canopy-Gateway defaults to 0.0.0.0. Configuring RADIUS server for SM configuration Canopy Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) along with VSA numbers and other details are listed in Table 162. The associated SM GUI page, tab and parameter are listed to aid cross-referencing and understanding of the VSAs. A RADIUS dictionary file is available from the software site:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 The RADIUS dictionary file defines the VSAs and their values and is usually imported into the RADIUS server as part of server and database setup. Page 7-295 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Beginning with System Release 12.0.2, two RADIUS dictionary files are available on the Cambium website RADIUS Dictionary file Cambium and RADIUS Dictionary file Motorola. In addition to a renaming of attributes, the Cambium-branded dictionary file contains two new VSAs for controlling uplink and downlink Maximum Burst Data Rate (these VSAs are listed below in Table 162). If you are transitioning from the Motorola-branded dictionary file to the Cambium-
branded dictionary file, ensure that all RADIUS profiles containing Motorola-Canopy attribute references are updated to include Cambium-Canopy attribute references (for all applicable VSAs listed in Table 162). Also, ensure that all RADIUS configuration files reference the new dictionary file (as an alternative, operators may rename the Cambium-branded dictionary file to the filename currently in use by the RADIUS server). Once the profiles are updated and the new Cambium-branded dictionary file is installed on the RADIUS server, restart the RADIUS server to ensure that the new VSAs and attribute names are enabled.

Device Access Tracking is enabled separately from User Authentication Mode. A given AP or SM can be configured for both, either, or neither. RADIUS Device Data Accounting PMP 450 systems include support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. The attributes included in the RADIUS accounting messages are shown in the table below. Table 165 Device data accounting RADIUS attributes Sender Message Attribute Value Description AP Accounting-

The data accounting configuration is located on the APs Accounts > User Authentication and Access Tracking GUI menu, and the APs Authentication Mode must be set to Radius AAA for the menu to appear. The accounting may be configured via the AP GUI as shown in the figures below. By default accounting messages are not sent and the operator has the choice of configuring to send only Device Access accounting messages (when a user logs in or out of the radio), only Data Usage messages, or both. When Data Accounting is enabled, the operator must specify the interval of when the data accounting messages are sent (0 disabled, or in the range of 30-10080 minutes). The default interval is 30 minutes. Figure 136 RADIUS accounting messages configuration Page 7-305 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server The data accounting message data is based on the SM statistics that the AP maintains, and these statistics may be cleared on the AP by an operator. If an operator clears these messages and data accounting is enabled, an accounting stop message is sent followed by an accounting start message to notify the AAA of the change. If an operator clears the VC statistics on the device through the management GUI, a RADIUS stop message and data start message is issued for each device affected. The start and stop messages will only be sent once every 5 minutes, so if an operator clears these statistics multiple times within 5 minutes, only one set of data stop/start messages is sent. This may result in inaccurate data accumulation results. RADIUS Device Re-authentication PMP 450 platform systems include support for periodic SM re-authentication in a network without requiring the SM to re-register (and drop the session). The re-authentication may be configured to occur in the range of every 30 minutes to weekly. Figure 137 Device re-authentication configuration The re-authentication interval is only configurable on the AP. When this feature is enabled, each SM that enters the network will re-authenticate each the interval time has expired without dropping the session. The response that the SM receives from the AAA server upon re-
authentication is one of the following:
Success: The SM continues normal operation Reject: The SM de-registers and will attempt network entry again after 1 minute and then if rejected will attempt re-entry every 15 minutes Timeout or other error: The SM remains in session and attempt 5 times to re-authenticate with the RADIUS-REQUEST message. If these attempts fail, then the SM will go out of session and proceed to re-authenticate after 5 minutes, then every 15 minutes. Although re-authentication is an independent feature, it was designed to work alongside with the RADIUS data usage accounting messages. If a user is over their data usage limit the network operator can reject the user from staying in the network. Operators may configure the RADIUS Reply-Message attribute with an applicable message (i.e. Data Usage Limit Reached) that is sent to the subscriber module and displayed on the general page. Page 7-306 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server RADIUS Change of Authorization and Disconnect Message Prior to this feature, SM will get configuration parameters from a RADIUS server during authentication process. This feature allows an administrator to control configuration parameters in the SM while SM is in session. The configuration changes in SM are done using RADIUS Change of Authorization method (RFC 3576) on the existing RADIUS authentication framework for AP and SM. A typical use case could be changing the QOS parameters after a certain amount of bandwidth usage by a SM. Figure 138 RADIUS CoA configuration for AP The RADIUS CoA feature enables initiating a bi-directional communication from the RADIUS server(s) to the AP and SM. The AP listens on UDP port 3799 and accepts CoA requests from the configured RADIUS servers. This CoA request should contain SM MAC address in User-Name attribute as identifier and all other attributes which control the SM config parameters. For security reasons, a timestamp also needs to be added as Event-Timestamp attribute. Hence the time should also be synchronized between the RADIUS server(s) and the AP to fit within a window of 300 seconds. Once the configuration changes are applied on the SM, CoA-ACK message is sent back to RADIUS server. If the validation fails, the AP sends a CoA-NACK response to the RADIUS server with proper error code. A Disconnect-Message is sent by the RADIUS server to NAS in order to terminate a user session on a NAS and discard all associated session context. It is used when the authentication AAA server wants to disconnect the user after the session has been accepted by the RADIUS. In response of Disconnect-Request from RADIUS server, the NAS sends a Disconnect-ACK if all associated session context is discarded, or a Disconnect-NACK, if the NAS is unable to disconnect the session. Note The RADIUS CoA feature will only enabled if Authentication mode is set to RADIUS AAA. Page 7-307

Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Microsoft RADIUS support This feature allows to configure Microsoft RADIUS (Network Policy and Access Services a.k.a NPS) as Authentication server for SM and User authentication. For SM Authentication, SM will user PEAP-MSCHAPv2 since NPS doesn't support TTLS protocol. For User Authentication, the Canopy software will use EAP-MD5 but the user has to do certain configuration in order to enable EAP-MD5 on NPS. Note All this configuration has been tested on Windows Server 2012 R2 version. This feature is not supported on hardware board type P9 or lower platforms. SM Authentication Configuration There are no new configuration on AP. However SM has to be configured for PEAP authentication protocol. 1. 2. Go to Configuration > Security page Select eappeap for Phase 1 attribute under tab AAA Authentication Settings. Figure 139 EAPPEAP settings The Phase 2 will change automatically to MSCHAPv2 on select of Phase 1 attribute as EAP-PEAP. Other parameters of Phase 2 protocols like PAP/CHAP will be disabled. Import Certificate The SM certificate has to be imported to Windows Server for certificate authentication. 1. 2. Copy the certificate which is configured in SM under Configuration > Security -> Certificate1 to Windows Server machine. Right click and select 'Install Certificate'. This will install the certificate and it's ready for use. This certificate will be used while configuring PEAP-MSCHAPv2 in NPS.

The AP/BHM and SM/BHS perform spectrum analysis together in the Sector Spectrum Analyzer tool. Caution On start of the Spectrum Analyzer on a module, it enters a scan mode and drops any RF connection it may have had. When choosing Start Timed Spectrum Analysis, the scan is run for the amount of time specified in the Duration configuration parameter. When choosing Start Continuous Spectrum Analysis, the scan is run continuously for 24 hours, or until stopped manually (using the Stop Spectrum Analysis button). Any module can be used 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. Note 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. Mapping RF Neighbor Frequencies The neighbor frequencies can be analyzed using Spectrum Analyzer tool. Following modules allow user to:
Use a BHS or BHM for PTP and SM or AP for PMP as a Spectrum Analyzer. View a graphical display that shows power level in RSSI and dBm at 5 MHz increments throughout the frequency band range, regardless of limited selections in the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List parameter of the SM/BHS. Select an AP/BHM channel that minimizes interference from other RF equipment. Caution The following procedure causes the SM/BHS to drop any active RF link. If a link is dropped when the spectrum analysis begins, the link can be re-established when either a 15 minute interval has elapsed or the spectrum analyzer feature is disabled. Page 8-2 Chapter 8: Tools Using Spectrum Analyzer tool Temporarily deploy a SM/BHS for each frequency band range that need to monitor and access the Spectrum Analyzer tab in the Tools web page of the module.

The Tool provides color coded readings to facilitate in judging link quality. Note To get best performance of the link, the user has to ensure the maximum Receive Power Level during alignment by pointing correctly. The proper alignment is important to prevent interference in other cells. The achieving Receive Power Level green (>- 70 dBm) is not sufficient for the link.

The SM/BHS LEDs provide different status based on the mode of the SM/BHS. A SM/BHS in operating mode will register and pass traffic normally. A SM/BHS in aiming mode will not register or pass traffic, but will display (via LED panel) the strength of received radio signals (based on radio channel selected via Tools ->Aiming).. See SM/BHS LEDs on page 2-13. Note In order for accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. Refer Table 19 SM/BHS LED descriptions on page 2-14 for SM/BHS LED details. Aiming page of SM The Aiming page is similar to Spectrum Analyzer where it scans the spectrum but it does not establish any session with any Aps.

Normal Frequency Scan List: scans: scans all frequency of scan list. Single Frequency Select a particular frequency from drop down menu for scanning. Scan Radio Enabled: the radio is configured to aiming or alignment mode, Frequency Only wherein the LED panel displays an indication of receive power level. See Mode Table 19 SM/BHS LED descriptions on page 2-14. Disabled: the radio is configured to operating mode, wherein the SM registers and passes traffic normally. Aiming Results The Aiming Results are displayed in two sections Current entry and Other entries. Frequency: this field indicates the frequency of the AP which is transmitting the beacon information. Page 8-17 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Alignment Tool Power: This field indicates the current receive power level (vertical channel) for the frequency configured in parameter Radio Frequency. Users: This field indicates the number of SMs currently registered to the AP which is transmitting the beacon information. ESN: This field indicates the MAC, or hardware address of the AP/BHM which is transmitting the beacon information. Color Code: This field displays a value from 0 to 254 indicating the APs configured color code. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Multipoint or Backhaul: this field indicates type of configuration - point-

Page 8-19 Chapter 8: Tools Alignment Tone Using the Alignment Tool For coarse alignment of the SM/BHS, use the Alignment Tool located at Tools -> Alignment Tool. Optionally, connect a headset alignment tone kit to the AUX/SYNC port of the SM/BHS and listen to the alignment tone, which indicates greater SM/BHS receive signal power by pitch. By adjusting the SMs/BHSs position until the highest frequency pitch is obtained operators and installers can be confident that the SM/BHS is properly positioned.

RF Link Test: Fully tests radio-to-radio communication, but does not bridge traffic. Link Test with Bridge: Bridges traffic to simulated Ethernet ports, providing a status of the bridged link. Link Test with Bridge and MIR: Bridges the traffic during test and also adheres to any MIR
(Maximum Information Rate) settings for the link. Extrapolated Link Test: Estimates the link capacity by sending few packets and measuring link quality. The Link Capacity Test tab contains the settable parameter Packet Length with a range of 64 to 1714 bytes. This allows you to compare throughput levels that result from various packet sizes. The Current Results Status also displayed date and time of last performed Link Capacity Test. If there is any change in time zone, the date and time will be adjusted accordingly. Figure 159 Link Capacity Test - AP Note The Extrapolated Link Test can be run by Read-Only login also.. Page 8-21 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Link Capacity Test tool Performing RF Link Test, Link Test with Bridge or Link Test with Bridge and MIR To run a simple link capacity test, perform the following procedure:
Procedure 31 Performing a simple Link Capacity Test 1 Access the Link Capacity Test tab in the Tools web page of the module. 2 Select Link Test Mode RF Link Test, Link Test with Bridge or Link Test with Bridge and MIR. 3 4 Set Signal to Noise Ratio Calculation during Link Test attribute to enable to disable. Set Link Test VC Priority attribute to either High and Low Priority VCs or Low Priority VC only. 5 Select the subscriber module to test using the Current Subscriber Module parameter. This parameter is not available in BHM. 6 7 8 Type into the Duration field how long (in seconds) the RF link must be tested. Select the Direction Bi-directional, Uplink Only or Downlink Only. Type into the Number of Packets field a value of 0 to flood the link for the duration of the test. 6 Type into the Packet Length field a value of 1714 to send 1714-byte packets during the 7 8 test. Click the Start Test button. In the Current Results Status block of this tab, view the results of the test. See Figure 160 on page 8-22. Figure 160 Link Capacity Test tab with 1714-byte packet length Page 8-22 Chapter 8: Tools Performing Extrapolated Link Test Using the Link Capacity Test tool The Extraploated Link Test estimates the link capacity by sending few packets and measuring link quality. Once the test is initiated, the radio starts session at the lower modulation, 1X, As traffic is passed sucessfuly across the link, the radio decides to try the next modulation, 2X. This process repeats until it find best throughput to estimate capacity of link. Note It is recommended to run Extrapolated Link Test where the session must have been up and have traffic present on it in order to get accurate test results. This is essentail for the radio to modulate up to get an accurate measurement. Running the Extrapolated test just after establishing session will not provide accurate results. The procedure for performing Extrapolated Link Test is as follows:

Page 8-27 Chapter 8: Tools Using AP Evaluation tool Cyclic Prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-
pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefixes mean that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. The Cyclic Prefix 1/16 only can be selected at this time. ESN This field displays the MAC address (electronic serial number) of the AP. For operator convenience during SM aiming, this tab retains each detected ESN for up to 15 minutes. If the broadcast frequency of a detected AP changes during a 15-minute interval in the aiming operation, then a multiple instance of the same ESN is possible in the list. Eventually, the earlier instance expires and disappears and the later instance remains to the end of its interval, but you can ignore the early instance(s) whenever two or more are present. Region This field displays the APs configured Country Code setting. Power Level This field displays the SMs combined received power level from the APs transmission. Beacon Count A count of the beacons seen in a given time period.

MaxRange This field indicates the configured value for the APs Max Range parameter. TxBER EBcast A 1 in this field indicates the AP is sending Radio BER. A 1 in this field indicates the AP or BHM is encrypting broadcast packets. A 0 indicates it is not. Page 8-28 Chapter 8: Tools Using AP Evaluation tool Session Count This field displays how many sessions the SM (or BHS) has had with the AP (or BHM). Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. In the case of a multipoint link, if the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs, then this may indicate a link problem or an interference problem. NoLUIDs This field indicates how many times the AP has needed to reject a registration request from a 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. OutOfRange This field indicates how many times the AP has rejected a registration request from a SM because the SM is a further distance away than the range that is currently configured in the AP. This then locks the SM out of making any valid attempt for the next 15 minutes. AuthFail This field displays how many times authentication attempts from this SM have failed in the AP.

Rescan Req This field displays how many times a re-range request has occurred for the BHM that is being evaluated in the AP Eval page of a BHS. SMLimitReached This field displays 0 if additional SMs may be registered to the AP. If a 1 is displayed, the AP will not accept additional SM registrations. NoVCs This counter is incremented when the SM is registering to an AP which determines that no VC resources are available for allocation. This could be a primary data VC or a high priority data VC. VCRsvFail This counter is incremented when the SM is registering to an AP which has a VC resource available for allocation but cannot reserve the resource for allocation. VCActFail This counter is incremented when the SM is registering to an AP which has a VC resource available for allocation and has reserved the VC, but cannot activate the resource for allocation. AP Gain RcvT This field displays the total external gain (antenna) used by the AP. This field displays the APs configured receive target for receiving SM transmissions (this field affects automatic SM power adjust). Sector ID This field displays the value of the Sector ID field that is provisioned for the AP. Page 8-29 Chapter 8: Tools Using AP Evaluation tool Color Code This field displays a value from 0 to 254 indicating the APs configured color code. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). BeaconVersion This field indicates that the beacon is OFDM (value of 1).

Page 8-34 Chapter 8: Tools Using the OFDM Frame Calculator tool Using the OFDM Frame Calculator tool The first step to avoid interference in wireless systems is to set all APs/BHMs to receive timing from a synchronization source (Cluster Management Module, or Universal Global Positioning System). This ensures that the modules are in sync and start transmitting at the same time each frame. The second step to avoid interference is to configure parameters on all APs/BHMs 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/BHM attempting to receive the signal from a distant SM/BHS while a nearby AP transmits, which could overpower that signal. The following parameters on the AP determine the transmit/receive ratio:
Max Range Downlink Data percentage
(reserved) Contention Slots If OFDM (PMP 430, PMP 450, PTP 230) and FSK (PMP 1x0) APs/BHMs of the same frequency band are in proximity, or if APs/BHMs set to different parameters (differing in their Max Range values, for example), then operator must use the Frame Calculator to identify compatible settings. The frame calculator is available on the Frame Calculator tab of the Tools web page. To use the Frame Calculator, type various configurable parameter values into the calculator for each proximal AP and then record the resulting AP/BHM Receive Start value. Next vary the Downlink Data percentage in each calculation and iterate until the calculated AP/BHM Receive Start for all collocated AP/BHMs where the transmit end does not come before the receive start. The calculator does not use values in the module or populate its parameters. It is merely a convenience application that runs on a module. For this reason, you can use any FSK module (AP, SM, BHM, BHS) to perform FSK frame calculations for setting the parameters on an FSK AP and any OFDM module (AP, SM, BHM, BHS) to perform OFDM frame calculations for setting the parameters on an OFDM AP/BHM. For more information on PMP/PTP 450 platform co-location, see http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/solution-papersThe co-location is also supported for 900 MHz PMP 450i APs (OFDM) and PMP 100 APs (FSK). Please refer Co-location of PMP 450 and PMP 100 systems in the 900 MHz band and migration recommendations document for details. Caution APs/BHMs that have slightly mismatched transmit-to-receive ratios and low levels of data traffic may see little effect on throughput. A system that was not tuned for co-
location may work fine at low traffic levels, but encounter problems at higher traffic levels. The conservative practice is to tune for co-location before traffic ultimately increases. This prevents problems that occur as sectors are built. The OFDM Frame Calculator page is explained in Table 178.

Then, use the Frame Calculator tool procedure as described in Using the Frame Calculator on page 8-38, you will vary the value in this parameter to find the proper value to write into the Downlink Data parameter of all APs or BHMs in the cluster. PMP 450 platform Series APs or BHMs offer a range of 15% to 85% and default to 75%. The value that you set in this parameter has the following interaction with the value of the Max Range parameter
(above):
The default Max Range value is 5 miles and, at that distance, the maximum Downlink Data value (85% in PMP 450 platform) is functional.

Link Tests initiated from the AP or BHM are not included in the Link Status table. This table is useful for monitoring link test results for all SMs or BHS in the system. The Link Status table is color coded to display health of link between AP/BHM and SM/BHS. The current Modulation Level Uplink/Downlink is chosen to determine link health and color coded accordingly. Uplink/Downlink Rate Column will be color coded using current Rate as per the table below:

The Link Status tool results include values for the following fields for AP/BHM. Table 181 Link Status page attributes AP/BHM Page 8-40 Chapter 8: Tools Attribute Meaning Using the Link Status tool Subscriber This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID), MAC address and Site Name of the SM. As each SM registers to the AP, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM. If a SM loses registration with the AP and then regains registration, the SM will retain the same LUID. Note The LUID associated is lost when a power cycle of the AP occurs. Both the LUID and the MAC are hot links to open the interface to the SM. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Site Name indicates the name of the SM. You can assign or change this name on the Configuration web page of the SM. This information is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server. Uplink Statistics -
This field represents the combined received power level at the AP/BHM Power Level: Signal as well as the ratio of horizontal path signal strength to vertical path Strength Ratio signal strength. Uplink Statistics This field represents the percentage of fragments received at each Fragments Modulation modulation state, per path (polarization). Uplink Statistics This field represents the signal to noise ratio for the uplink (displayed Signal to Noise Ratio when parameter Signal to Noise Ratio Calculation during Link Test is enabled) expressed for both the horizontal and vertical channels. Uplink Statistics This field displays the efficiency of the radio link, expressed as a Link Test Efficiency percentage, for the radio uplink. Downlink Statistics This field represents the received power level at the SM/BHS as well as Power Level: Signal the ratio of horizontal path signal strength to vertical path signal Strength Ratio strength at the SM/BHS. Downlink Statistics This field represents the signal to noise ratio for the downlink (displayed Signal to Noise Ratio when parameter Signal to Noise Ratio Calculation during Link Test is enabled) expressed for both the horizontal and vertical channels. Downlink Statistics This field displays the efficiency of the radio link, expressed as a Link Test Efficiency percentage, for the radio downlink. Page 8-41 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Link Status tool BER Results This field displays the over-the-air Bit Error Rates for each downlink.
(The ARQ [Automatic Resend reQuest] ensures that the transport BER
[the BER seen end-to-end through a network] is essentially zero.) The level of acceptable over-the-air BER varies, based on operating requirements, but a reasonable value for a good link is a BER of 1e-4 (1 x 10-4) or better, approximately a packet resend rate of 5%. BER is generated using unused bits in the downlink. During periods of peak load, BER data is not updated as often, because the system puts priority on transport rather than on BER calculation. Reg Requests A Reg Requests count is the number of times the SM/BHS registered after the AP/BHM determined that the link had been down. If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs/BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a spectrum scan). ReReg Requests A ReReg Requests count is the number of times the AP/BHM received a SM/BHS registration request while the AP/BHM considered the link to be still up (and therefore did not expect registration requests). If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs/BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a spectrum scan).

Test Efficiency Percentage Session Status This field displays the current state, Virtual channel, high-priority/ low priority channel rate adaptation and MIMO-A/MIMO-B/SISO status of SM. Run Link Test See Exploratory Test section of Performing Extrapolated Link Test on page 8-23 Page 8-44 Chapter 8: Tools Using BER Results tool Using BER Results tool Radio BER data represents bit errors at the RF link level. Due to CRC checks on fragments and packets and ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest), the BER of customer data is essentially zero. Radio BER gives one indication of link quality. Other important indications to consider includes the received power level, signal to noise ratio and link tests. BER is only instrumented on the downlink and is displayed on the BER Results tab of the Tools page in any SM. Each time the tab is clicked, the current results are read and counters are reset to zero. The BER Results tab can be helpful in troubleshooting poor link performance. The link is acceptable if the value of this field is less than 104. If the BER is greater than 104, re-
evaluate the installation of both modules in the link. The BER test signal is broadcast by the AP/BHM (and compared to the expected test signal by the SM/BHS) only when capacity in the sector allows it. This signal is the lowest priority for AP/BHM transmissions. Figure 163 BER Results tab of the SM Page 8-45 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Sessions tool Using the Sessions tool The PMP 450 platform AP has a tab Sessions under the Tools category which allows operators to drop one or all selected SM sessions and force a SM re-registration. This operation is useful to force QoS changes for SMs without losing AP logs or statistics. This operation may take 5 minutes to regain all SM registrations.

This parameter provides click-through proxy access to the APs management interface. Color Code This field displays a value from 0 to 254 indicating the SMs configured color code. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Channel Frequency This field lists the current operating frequency of the radio.

This information is useful for managing and troubleshooting a system. This page also includes the current active values on each SM or BHS for MIR and VLAN, as well as the source of these values, representing the SM/BHS itself, Authentication Server, or the Authentication Server and SM/BHS. Note In order for accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. The Session Status List has four tab: Device, Session, Power and Configuration. The SessionStatus.xml hyper link allows user to export session status page from web management interface of AP or BHM. The session status page will be exported in xml file. Device tab The Device tab provides information on the Subscribers LUID and MAC, Hardware, Software, FPGA versions and the state of the SM/BHS (Registered and/or encrypted). Table 187 Device tab attributes Attribute Meaning Subscriber This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID), MAC address and Site Name of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. If a SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHS and then regains registration, the SM/BHS will retain the same LUID. Note The LUID associated is lost when a power cycle of the AP/BHM occurs. Page 9-16 Chapter 9: Operation System information Both the LUID and the MAC are hot links to open the interface to the SM/BHS. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Site Name indicates the name of the SM/BHS. Change this name on the Configuration web page of the SM/BHS. This information is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server. Hardware This field displays the SMs or BHS hardware type. Software Version This field displays the software release that operates on the SM/BHS, the release date and time of the software. FPGA Version This field displays the version of FPGA that runs on the SM/BHS State This field displays the current status of the SM/BHS as either IN SESSION to indicate that the SM/BHS is currently registered to the AP/BHM. IDLE to indicate that the SM/BHS was registered to the AP/BHM at one time, but now is not. This field also indicates whether the encryption scheme in the module is enabled. Session tab The Session tab provides information on the SMs or BHS Session Count, Reg Count, Re-Reg Count, Uptime, Air delay, PPPoE State and Timeouts. Table 188 Session tab attributes Attribute Meaning Subscriber See Table 187 on page 9-16. Page 9-17 Chapter 9: Operation System information Count This field displays how many sessions the SM/BHS has had with the AP/BHM. Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs or BHS, then this may indicate a link problem or an interference problem. Reg Count When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is not currently in session database and it is valid Registration Request, then the request increments the value of this field. In ideal situation, the Reg Count indicates total number of connected SMs to an AP. Note The user can clear Reg Count by droping all current sessions of SM (or BHS) from Configuration > Tools > Sessions menu. Re-Reg Count When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is currently in session database, then the request increments the value of this field. Typically, a Re-Reg is the case where both:
SM/BHS attempts to reregister for having lost communication with the AP/BHM. AP/BHM has not yet observed the link to the SM/BHS as being down. It is possible for a small period of time if there is no downlink traffic and AP/BHM still assumes the session is up, but the SM/BHS, loses session and quickly re-connects before the AP/BHM knew the session had dropped. This is how a re-registration happens. If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs or BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem
(conduct a spectrum scan). Uptime Once a SM/BHS successfully registers to an AP/BHM, this timer is started. If a session drops or is interrupted, this timer is reactivated once re-registration is complete. CC Priority The field displays Color Code Priority (ICC, Primary, Secondary or Tertiary) of all connected SM. Page 9-18 Chapter 9: Operation System information AirDelay This field displays the distance of the SM/BHS from the AP/BHM in meters, nanoseconds and bits. At close distances, the value in this field is unreliable. PPPoE state This field displays the current PPPoE state (whether configured) of the SM/BHS. Timeout This field displays the timeout in seconds for management sessions via HTTP, ftp access to the SM/BHS. 0 indicates that no limit is imposed. Power tab Table 189 Power tab attributes Attribute Meaning Subscriber See Table 187 on page 9-16. Hardware This field displays the SMs or BHS hardware type. Rate This field displays whether the high-priority channel is enabled in the SM/BHS and the status of rate adapt. For example, if 8X/4X is listed, the radio is capable of operating at 8X but is currently operating at 4X, due to RF conditions. This field also states whether it is MIMO-A or MIMO-B radio e.g. 8X/8X MIMO-B indicates MIMO-B and 8X/4X MIMO-A indicates MIMO-A. A VC starts at its lowest modulation and slowly rate adapts up, as traffic is successfully transmitted over the VC. It is normal for one VC to have a different modulation rate than another VC, if only one VC has traffic on it. For example if High Priority VC is enabled, but only low priority VC has traffic the reading will show:
REGISTERED VC 18 Rate 8X/8X MIMO-B VC 255 Rate 8X/1X MIMO-B AP Rx Power (dBm) This field indicates the APs or BHMs combined receive power level for the listed SM/BHS. Page 9-19 Chapter 9: Operation System information Signal Strength This field displays the ratio of the Vertical path received signal power to Ratio (dB) the Horizontal path received signal power. This ratio can be useful for determining multipathing conditions (high vertical to horizontal ratio) for Uplink. Signal to Noise Ratio This field lists the current signal-to-noise level, an indication of the
(dB) separation of the received power level vs. noise floor. In other words, it indicates signal to noise ratio for Uplink. Configuration tab The Configuration tab provides information on the SMs or BHS Uplink or Downlink (UL/DL) Sustained Data Rate, UL/DL Burst Allocation, UL/DL Burst Rate, UL/DL Low Priority CIR, UL/DL High CIR, UL/DL High Priority Queue Information and the UL/DL Broadcast or Multicast Allocation.

: 01/01/00. A reboot causes the preset time to pause or, in some cases, to run in reverse. Additionally, a power cycle resets the running time and date to the default 00:00:00 UT : 01/01/00. Thus, whenever either a reboot or a power cycle has occurred, must reset the time and date in the Time & Date web page of any module that is not set to receive sync. Event Log Data Collection The collection of event data continues through reboots and power cycles. When the buffer allowance for event log data is reached, the system adds new data into the log and discards an identical amount of the oldest data. Each line that contains the expression WatchDog flags an event that was both:
considered by the system software to have been an exception recorded in the preceding line. Conversely, a Fatal Error () message flags an event that is recorded in the next line. Some exceptions and fatal errors may be significant and require either operator action or technical support.

Viewing the Network Interface In any module, the LAN1 Network Interface section of this tab displays the defined Internet Protocol scheme for the Ethernet interface to the module. In SM/BHS devices, this page also provides an RF Public Network Interface section, which displays the Internet Protocol scheme defined for network access through the master device (AP/BHM). Figure 167 Network Interface tab of the AP Page 9-25 Chapter 9: Operation Figure 168 Network Interface tab of the SM System information Viewing the Layer 2 Neighbors In the Layer 2 Neighbors tab, a module reports any device from which it has received a message in Link Layer Discovery Protocol within the previous two minutes. Given the frequency of LLDP messaging, this means that the connected device will appear in this tab 30 seconds after it is booted and remain until two minutes after its shutdown. Figure 169 Layer 2 Neighbors page Page 9-26 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics System statistics This section describes how to use the system statistics pages to manage the performance of the PMP/PTP 450 platform link. Viewing the Scheduler statistics The Statistics > Scheduler page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) and the parameters are displayed as shown below:
Table 194 Scheduler tab attributes Attribute Meaning Transmit Unicast Data Count Transmit Broadcast Data Count Transmit Multicast Data Count Receive Unicast Data Count The total amount of unicast packets transmitted from the radio The total amount of broadcast packets transmitted from the radio The total amount of multicast packets transmitted by the radio The total amount of unicast packets received by the radio Page 9-27 Chapter 9: Operation Receive Broadcast Data Count System statistics The total amount of broadcast packets received by the radio Transmit Control The amount of radio control type messages transmitted (registration Count requests and grants, power adjust, etc.). Receive Control The amount of radio control type messages received (registration Count requests and grants, power adjust, etc.). In Sync Count Number of times the radio has acquired sync. In the case of an AP generating sync this is when generated sync has been locked, or if GPS synchronization is used it is number of times GPS sync acquired. For the SM, it is the number of times the SM successfully obtained sync with an AP. Out of Sync Count Number of times the radio lost same sync lock. Overrun Count Number of times FPGA frame has overrun its TX Frame Underrun Count Number of times FPGAs TX Frame aborted prematurely. Receive Corrupt Data Count Receive Bad Broadcast Control Count Bad In Sync ID Received Number of times a corrupt fragment has been received at the FPGA.

A remote radio has requested that this radio start a link test to it. Rcv LT Start HS Number of Link Test Start Handshake messages received. This radio requested that a remote radio start a link test and the remote radio has sent a handshake back acknowledging the start. Rcv LT Result This radio received Link Test results from the remote radio under test. When this radio initiates a link test, the remote radio will send its results to this radio for display. Xmt LT Result This radio transmitted its link test results to the remote radio under test. When the remote radio initiates a link test, this radio must send its results to the remote radio for display there.

Interpreting Bridging Table statistics If NAT (network address translation) is not active on the SM/BHS, then the Bridging Table page provides the MAC address of all devices that are attached to registered SMs/BHS (identified by LUIDs). The SM/BHS management MAC addresses are also added in bridge table upon SMs/BHS registration. These entries will be remove automically from the table once SMs/BHS is de-
registered. This alleviates the arp cache > bridge cache timeout problems. The bridging table allows data to be sent to the correct module as follows:
For the AP/BHM, the uplink is from RF to Ethernet. Thus, when a packet arrives in the RF interface to the AP/BHM, the AP/BHM reads the MAC address from the inbound packet and creates a bridging table entry of the source MAC address on the other end of the RF interface. For the SM/BHS, the uplink is from Ethernet to RF. Thus, when a packet arrives in the Ethernet interface to one of these modules, the module reads the MAC address from the inbound packet and creates a bridging table entry of the source MAC address on the other end of the Ethernet interface. Page 9-30 Chapter 9: Operation Figure 170 Bridging Table page System statistics The Bridging Table supports up to 4096 entries. Interpreting Translation Table statistics When Translation Bridging is enabled in the AP, each SM keeps a table mapping MAC addresses of devices attached to the AP to IP addresses, as otherwise the mapping of end-user MAC addresses to IP addresses is lost. (When Translation Bridging is enabled, an AP modifies all uplink traffic originating from registered SMs such that the source MAC address of every packet is changed to that of the SM which bridged the packet in the uplink direction.) Figure 171 Translation Table page of SM Page 9-31 Chapter 9: Operation Interpreting Ethernet statistics System statistics The Statistics > Ethernet page reports TCP throughput and error information for the Ethernet connection of the module. This page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). The Ethernet page displays the following fields. Table 198 Ethernet tab attributes Attribute Meaning Ethernet Link 1 indicates that an Ethernet link is established to the radio, 0 indicates Detected that no Ethernet link is established Ethernet Link Lost This field indicates a count of how many times the Ethernet link was lost. Undersized Toss This field indicates the number of packets that were too small to process Count and hence discarded. inoctets Count This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that deliver framing information. inucastpkts Count This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. Innucastpkts Count This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-
broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-
layer protocol. Page 9-32 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics indiscards Count This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. (Some of these packets may have been discarded to increase buffer space.) inerrors Count This field displays how many inbound packets contained errors that prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. inunknownprotos This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded because Count of an unknown or unsupported protocol. outoctets Count This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the interface, including those that deliver framing information. outucastpkts Count This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. outnucastpkts Count This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-
broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. outdiscards Count This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their transmission. (Some of these packets may have been discarded to increase buffer space.) outerrrors Count This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that prevented their transmission. RxBabErr This field displays how many receiver babble errors occurred. TxHbErr This field displays how many transmit heartbeat errors have occurred. EthBusErr This field displays how many Ethernet bus errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. CRCError This field displays how many CRC errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. RcvFifoNoBuf This field displays the number of times no FIFO buffer space was able to be allocated RxOverrun This field displays how many receiver overrun errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. Late Collision This field displays how many late collisions occurred on the Ethernet controller. A normal collision occurs during the first 512 bits of the frame transmission. A collision that occurs after the first 512 bits is considered a late collision. Page 9-33 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Caution A late collision is a serious network problem because the frame being transmitted is discarded. A late collision is most commonly caused by a mismatch between duplex configurations at the ends of a link segment. RetransLimitExp This field displays how many times the retransmit limit has expired. TxUnderrun This field displays how many transmission-underrun errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. CarSenseLost This field displays how many carrier sense lost errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. No Carrier This field displays how many no carrier errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. Page 9-34 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Interpreting RF Control Block statistics The Statistics > Radio page is applicable for all module (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). The Radio page of the Statistics page displays the following fields. Table 199 Radio (Statistics) page attributes Attribute Meaning inoctets Count This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that deliver framing information. inucastpkts Count This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. Innucastpkts Count This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-
broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-
layer protocol. 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 is 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. The likely case for indiscards is if the RF bridge queue is full. If this is the case the radio is most likely PPS limited due to excessive small packet traffic or a problem at the Ethernet interface. If there is a problem at the Ethernet interface there is likely to be discards at the Ethernet as well. inerrors Count This field displays how many inbound packets contained errors that prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. inunknownprotos This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded because Count of an unknown or unsupported protocol. Page 9-35 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics outoctets Count This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the interface, including those that deliver framing information. outucastpkts Count This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. outnucastpkts Count This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-
broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address.

(Some of these packets may have been discarded to increase buffer space.) outerrrors Count This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that prevented their transmission. Interpreting VLAN statistics The Statistics > VLAN page provides a list of the most recent packets that were filtered because of VLAN membership violations. It is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). Table 200 VLAN page attributes Attribute Meaning Unknown This must 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. Page 9-36 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Ingress When the packet entered through the wired Ethernet interface, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. Local Ingress When the packet was received from the local TCP/IP stack, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. This must not occur. Contact Technical Support. Egress When the packet attempted to leave through the wired Ethernet interface, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. Local Egress When the packet attempted to reach the local TCP/IP stack, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. Page 9-37 Chapter 9: Operation Interpreting Data VC statistics System statistics The Statistics > Data VC page displays information about Virtual Channel (VC) used in data communications. This page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). The Data VC tab displays the fields as explained in Table 201. Table 201 Data VC page attributes Attribute Meaning Subscriber This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID), MAC address and Site Name of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. If a SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHM and then regains registration, the SM/BHS retains the same LUID. VC This field displays the virtual channel number. Low priority channels start at VC18 and count up. High priority channels start at VC255 and count down. If one VC is displayed, the high-priority channel is disabled. If two are displayed, the high-priority channel is enabled. CoS This field displays the Class of Service for the virtual channel. The low priority channel is a CoS of 00 and the high priority channel is a CoS of 01. CoS of 02 through 07 are not currently used. Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, octets including those that deliver framing information. Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were ucastpkts delivered to a higher-layer protocol. Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-
nucastpkts broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-
layer protocol. Page 9-38 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without discards 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 must be close to the RF control block in discards. If indiscards are evenly distributed across SMs, then the radio is PPS limited due to either excessive small packet transmissions, or a problem at the Ethernet link. If indiscards are contained to one or a few SMs, then there is likely a problem at or underneath the SM which is incrementing the count. Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many inbound packets contained errors that errors prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the QPSK frgmts QPSK modulation scheme. Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the 16-QAM frgmts 16-QAM modulation scheme. Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the 64-QAM frgmts 64-QAM modulation scheme. Inbound Statistics, This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the 256-QAM frgmts 256-QAM modulation scheme. Outbound Statistics, This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the octets interface, including those that deliver framing information. Outbound Statistics, This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level ucastpkts protocols requested transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. Outbound Statistics, This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level nucastpkts protocols requested transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-
broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. Outbound Statistics, This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without discards errors that would have prevented their transmission. Outbound discard statistics are incremented if a VC is not active when a packet is ready to send. This is a rare condition. Outbound Statistics, This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that errors prevented their transmission. Page 9-39 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Queue Overflow This is a count of packets that were discarded because the queue for the VC was already full. If Queue Overflows are being seen across most or all SMs, then there is either an interferer local to the AP or the APs RF link is at capacity. If Queue Overflows are being seen at one or only a few SMs, then it is likely that there is a problem with those specific links whether it is insufficient signal strength, interferer, or a problem with the actual SM hardware. High Priority Queue This is a count of packets that were received on high priority queue. Interpreting Throughput statistics The PMP/PTP 450 platform has a Statistics > Throughput page which shows historical information about sector or backhaul throughput and packet discards. This page is applicable for AP and BHM modules. This information can be useful to identify an overloaded sector or heavy bandwidth users. This page also shows the user throughput in terms of data rate (kbps) and packet rate
(packets per second, or PPS), as well as the average packet size during the sample period. Operators may set the AP/BHM to send an SNMP trap when it detects an RF overload condition based on a configurable threshold. The following configuration parameters are available on the Throughput tab GUI pane and a radio reboot is not required when configuring these parameters:
Table 202 RF overload Configuration attributes AP/BHM Attribute Meaning Throughput Monitoring This enables or disables the monitoring of sector throughput and packet discards. This parameter is disabled by default. SNMP Trap on RF This enables or disables the sending of an SNMP trap when an AP/BHM Overload overload condition is reached (based on Downlink RF Overload Threshold). Downlink RF This parameter determines the overload threshold in percent of packets Overload Threshold discarded that triggers the generation of an SNMP trap. Page 9-40 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Downlink RF Link This field displays the status of the capacity of the RF link. Status Time Period Length These two configuration parameters determine what set of collection Time Period Ending samples to show on the GUI display. The Time Period Length can be set from one to three hours. Time Period Ending allows the operator to set the end time for the set of collection samples to display. Below the configuration settings are three tables that display the statistics that are collected. Board Performance statistics This table contains a row that corresponds to each 1 minute statistics collection interval. Each row contains the following data aggregated for the entire AP/BHM:
Ethernet Throughput - Statistics collected at the Ethernet port:
o kbps in average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps into the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface o kbps out average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps out of the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface o PPS in average packets per second over the collection interval into the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface o PPS out average packets per second over the collection interval out of the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface RF Throughput - Statistics collected at the RF Interface:
o kbps in average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps into the AP/BHM on the RF Interface o kbps out average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps out of the AP/BHM on the RF Interface o PPS in average packets per second over the collection interval into the AP/BHM on the RF Interface o PPS out average packets per second over the collection interval out of the AP/BHM on the RF Interface Aggregate Through Board Sum of bidirectional data transferred through (not originating or terminating at) the AP/BHM:
o kbps average bidirectional throughput over the collection interval in Kbps o PPS average bidirectional packets per second over the collection interval o Ave Pkt Size Average Packet size over the collection interval of bidirectional data transferred Board Throughput statistics This table contains a row that corresponds to each one minute statistics collection interval. This table may be used to determine if there are problems with any of the interfaces. For example, if the Ethernet in packets is much higher than the RF out packets it could indicate a denial of service
(DoS) attack on the AP/BHM. Each row contains the following data aggregated for the entire AP/BHM:
Page 9-41 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Ethernet Statistics - Statistics collected at the Ethernet port:
o inOctets Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o outOctets Number of octets (bytes) sent by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o inPkts Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o outPkts Number of packets sent by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o Discards (in/out) Number of packets that had to be discarded by the AP/BHM at the respective Ethernet Interface Queue RF Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface:
o inOctets Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface over the collection interval o outOctets Number of octets (bytes) sent by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface over the collection interval o inPkts Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface over the collection interval o outPkts Number of packets sent by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface over the collection interval o Discards (in/out) Number of packets that had to be discarded by the AP/BHM at the respective RF Interface Queue during the collection interval o Discards % (in/out) Percent of the total packets received / transmitted that had to be discarded during the collection interval LUID RF Throughput statistics This table contains a row that corresponds to each active LUID served by the AP/BHM. Note that an LUID may be assigned 1 or 2 VCs. If the LUID is assigned 2 VCs, then the data in the table is the sum of the activity for both VCs. This table may be used to determine which LUIDs are experiencing overload so that corrective action can be taken (i.e. fixing a poor RF link or moving a heavily loaded link to a less congested AP/BHM). Each row contains counters and statistics related to the RF Interface that are updated once per minute:
Inbound Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface for the Uplink:
o octets Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o pkts Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o Ave Pkt Size Average size of the packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o discards Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF In Queue was full o discards % Percent of the total packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF In Queue was full Outbound Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface for the Downlink:
o octets Number of octets (bytes) transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval Page 9-42 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics o pkts Number of packets transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o Ave Pkt Size Average size of the packets transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o discards Number of packets to be transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF Out Queue was full o discards % Percent of the total packets to be transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF Out Queue was full. Interpreting Overload statistics The Statistics > Overload page displays statistics on packet overload and resultant packet discards. Unlike the other fields, the Total Packets Overload Count is expressed in only this page. 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. This statistics page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) and explained in Table 203. Table 203 Overload page attributes AP/SM/BHM/BHS Attribute Meaning Total Packets This field represents the sum of all RF and Ethernet in/out discards. Overload Count Ethernet In Discards This field represents the number of packets tossed due to the Ethernet queue being full. If a climb in this stat accompanies a climb in RF Out Discards stat, then most likely the board is at RF capacity either due to traffic exceeding the RF pipe, or interference temporarily limiting the RF throughput. If this stat climbs without the RF Out Discards stat climbing, then the radio is most likely PPS limited. Page 9-43 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Ethernet Out This field represents the number of packets tossed due to an Ethernet Discards out overload. This stat must not 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. RF In Discards This field indicates the number of packets tossed due to no resources available within the radio to process them. This stat also must not be increasing because the system is designed to shed packets on the RF Out interface. If this stat is incrementing the board, it is most likely congested due to high PPS rate in combination with an Ethernet Out problem, which limits packet flow off the device. RF Out Discards This field indicates the number of packets tossed due to RF link at capacity. This stat will increase whenever the RF link is at capacity. When the internal FPGA RF input queue overflows, this stat is incremented. If this stat is seen to be incrementing at the AP, then the sector is congested. If seen at the SM, the number of Contention Slots must be looked at to ensure that enough Contention Slots are allocated to allow for bandwidth requests to be seen at the AP. Interpreting DHCP Relay statistics The Statistics > DHCP Relay page displays requests and replies received, relayed and discarded when the AP is configured as a DHCP relay. Typically, in a working DHCP relay configuration a one-to-one ratio is established between requests and replies that are received and relayed. This statistics page is only applicable for PMP (AP and SM modules) and it is explained in Table 204. Table 204 DHCP Relay page attributes AP/SM Page 9-44 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Attribute Meaning Requests Received This field represents the number of DHCP relay requests received by the AP. Requests Relayed This field represents the number of DHCP relay requests relayed by the AP. Requests Discarded This field represents the number of DHCP relay requests discarded by the AP due to errors in the request. Replies Received This field represents the number of DHCP relay replies received by the AP. Replies Relayed This field represents the number of DHCP relay replies relayed by the AP. Replies Discarded This field represents the number of DHCP relay replies discarded by the AP due to errors in the reply. Untrusted Message This field indicates messages that were discarded because the message Discards already contained Option 82 information with no Relay Agent specified. Max Hop Exceeded This field indicates messages that have been relayed too many times, Discards exceeding the max hop count (16). Invalid Relay Agent This field indicates messages that have been discarded because the Address Discards message relay agent address is already in place (relay agent address does not equal address of the AP). Relay Info Exceeding This field indicates DHCP messages too large to fit Option 82 data. These Max Message Size messages are sent on without Option 82 information.
(DHCP message relayed without Option 82) Page 9-45 Chapter 9: Operation Interpreting Filter statistics System statistics The Statistics > Filter page displays statistics on packets that have been filtered (dropped) due to the filters set on the Protocol Filtering page. The filter page of SM is explained in Table 205. Table 205 Filter page attributes - SM Attribute Meaning PPPoE Count Number of PPoE packets filtered. All IPv4 Count Number of IPv4 packets filtered.

Viewing ARP statistics The Statistics > ARP page in a SM module correlated the IP address of the Ethernet-connected device to its MAC address and provides data about the connection. Figure 172 ARP page of the SM Viewing NAT statistics When NAT is enabled on a SM, statistics are kept on the Public and Private (WAN and LAN) sides of the NAT and displayed on the Statistics > NAT Stats page.

Radio Recovery How to recover a PMP/PTP 450i unit from configuration errors or software image corruption How to override a PMP/PTP 450 unit from forgotten IP address and password to factory default Radio Recovery Console PMP/PTP 450i Recovery mode allows to restore IP address and password. Also, it allows new main application software to be loaded even when the integrity of the existing main application software image has been compromised. The most likely cause of an integrity problem with the installed main application software is where the power supply has been interrupted during a software upgrade. Note When Recovery has been entered through a power on/off/on cycle, the ODU will revert to normal operation if no web access has been made to the unit within 30 seconds. This prevents the unit remaining inadvertently in recovery following a power outage. Options in recovery mode are:
Boot with normal operation Boot with default Canopy system software settings Load a previous SW image The last most recent software images loaded to the board are retained. However the factory image is not retained. Boot with default Canopy system software settings (similar to the hardware Ddefault Plug based on PMP/PTP 450 platforms). Note The unit may enter recovery console automatically, in response to some failures. Note Once the unit has entered recovery, it will switch back to normal operation if no access has been made to the recovery web page within 30 seconds. Use below procedure to enter in recovery console manually. Page 9-61 Chapter 9: Operation Procedure 34 Radio Recovery Console 1 Apply power to PSU for at least 10 seconds. 2 Remove power for two seconds. 3 Re-apply power to the PSU. Radio Recovery 4 When the unit is in recovery mode, access the web interface by entering the default IP address 169.254.1.1. The Recovery Image Warning page is displayed. 5 Review the Boot Selection (Table 215). 6 Select a recovery option Figure 173 Recovery Options page Table 215 Recovery Options attributes Attribute Meaning Boot Selection Boot Default Mode: Use this option to temporarily set the IP and Ethernet attributes to factory defaults until the next reboot. Boot Normal: Use this option to reboot the unit. IP address, Netmask, These fields display IP address, Netmask and Gateway of the radio while Gateway it is in recovery or default mode. Page 9-62 Chapter 9: Operation Radio Recovery Default Mode (or Default/Override Plug) - PMP/PTP 450 The default mode allows to temporarily override some PMP/PTP 450 ODU settings and thereby regain control of the module by powering the module on with the Default Plug inserted into the units synchronization (RJ11) port. This override plug is needed for access to the module in any of the following cases:
You have forgotten either o o the IP address assigned to the ODU. the password that provides access to the ODU. The ODU has been locked by the No Remote Access feature. You want local access to a module that has had the 802.3 link disabled in the Configuration page. You can configure the module such that, when it senses the override plug, it responds by either resetting the LAN1 IP address to 169.254.1.1, allowing access through the default configuration without changing the configuration, whereupon you will be able to view and reset any non-
default values as you wish. resetting all configurable parameters to their factory default values. Note The Default Plug is available from Best-Tronics Manufacturing, Inc. See http://www.best-tronics.com/cambium.htm as Part BT-0583 (RJ-11 Default Plug). Alternatively, you can fabricate an override plug. See Override plug cable on page 5-14 for pinout. Using the Default/Override Plug The following section details usage of the override plug to regain access to PMP/PTP 450 ODU. Note While the override plug is connected to a PMP/PTP 450 ODU, the ODU can neither register nor allow registration of another ODU. Note Since the 900 MHz SM is based on the 450 platform, it only supports the "Default Plug"
mode of overriding. Page 9-63 Chapter 9: Operation Use below procedure to enter in default mode manually. Procedure 35 Default mode Radio Recovery 1 2 Insert the override plug into the RJ-11 GPS utility port of the module. Power cycle by removing, then re-inserting, the Ethernet cable. RESULT: The module boots with the default IP address of 169.254.1.1, password fields blank, and all other configuration values as previously set. 3 Wait approximately 30 seconds for the boot to complete. 4 5 6 7 8 Remove the override plug. Set passwords and IP address as desired. Change configuration values if desired. Click the Save Changes button. Click the Reboot button.

It has been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules in the USA. These limits have been designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. However the equipment can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference does not occur in a particular installation. Note A Class B Digital Device is a device that is marketed for use in a residential environment, notwithstanding use in commercial, business and industrial environments. Note Notwithstanding that Cambium has designed (and qualified) the PMP/PTP 450 platform products to generally meet the Class B requirement to minimize the potential for interference, the PMP/PTP 450 platform product range is not marketed for use in a residential environment.

These procedures can be performed either on a newly installed link, or on an operational link if communication is lost, or after a lightning strike. The following topics are described in this chapter:
General troubleshooting procedure on page 11-65 Troubleshooting procedures on page 11-68 Power-up troubleshooting on page 11-77 Registration and connectivity troubleshooting on page 11-78 Page 11-64 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting General troubleshooting procedure General troubleshooting procedure General planning for troubleshooting Effective troubleshooting depends in part on measures that you take before you experience trouble in your network. Cambium recommends the following measures for each site:
Identify troubleshooting tools that are available at your site (such as a protocol analyzer). Identify commands and other sources that can capture baseline data for the site. These may include:
o Ping o Tracert or traceroute o Link Capacity Test results o Throughput data o Configuration tab captures o Status tab captures o Session logs o Web browser used Start a log for the site. Include the following information in the log:
o Operating procedures o Site-specific configuration records o Network topology o Software releases, boot versions and FPGA firmware versions o Types of hardware deployed o Site-specific troubleshooting processes o Escalation procedures Capture baseline data into the log from the sources listed above Page 11-65 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting General troubleshooting procedure General fault isolation process Effective troubleshooting also requires an effective fault isolation methodology that includes the following:
Attempting to isolate the problem to the level of a system, subsystem, or link, such as o AP to SM o AP to CMM4 o AP to GPS o Backhaul(BH) o Backhaul(BH) to CMM4 o Power Researching Event Logs of the involved equipment Interpreting messages in the Event Log Answering the questions listed in the following sections. Reversing the last previous corrective attempt before proceeding to the next. Performing only one corrective attempt at a time. Questions to help isolate the problem When a problem occurs, attempt to answer the following questions:
What is the history of the problem?
o Have we changed something recently?
o Have we seen other symptoms before this?
How wide-spread is the symptom?
o o Is the problem on only a single SM? (If so, focus on that SM.) Is the problem on multiple SMs? If so is the problem on one AP in the cluster? (If so, focus on that AP) is the problem on multiple, but not all, APs in the cluster? (If so, focus on those APs) is the problem on all APs in the cluster? (If so, focus on the CMM4 and the GPS signal.) Based on data in the Event Log o does the problem correlate to External Hard Resets with no WatchDog timers? (If so, this indicates a loss of power. Correct your power problem.) o is intermittent connectivity indicated? (If so, verify your configuration, power level, cables and connections and the speed duplex of both ends of the link). o does the problem correlate to loss-of-sync events?
Are connections made via shielded cables?
Does the GPS antenna have an unobstructed view of the entire horizon?
Has the site grounding been verified?
Page 11-66 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting General troubleshooting procedure Secondary Steps After preliminary fault isolation is completed through the above steps, follow these:
Check the Canopy knowledge base (https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/forum) to find whether other network operators have encountered a similar problem. Proceed to any appropriate set of diagnostic steps. These are organized as follows:
o Module has lost or does not establish connectivity on page 11-68 o NAT/DHCP-configured SM has lost or does not establish connectivity on page 11-70 o SM Does Not Register to an AP on page 11-72 o Module has lost or does not gain sync on page 11-73 o Module does not establish Ethernet connectivity on page 11-74 o CMM4 does not pass proper GPS sync to connected modules on page 11-75 o Module Software Cannot be Upgraded on page 11-76 o Module Functions Properly, Except Web Interface Became Inaccessible on page 11-76 Page 11-67 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Troubleshooting procedures Proceed to any appropriate set of diagnostic steps. These are organized as follows:
Module has lost or does not establish connectivity on page 11-68 NAT/DHCP-configured SM has lost or does not establish connectivity on page 11-70 SM Does Not Register to an AP on page 11-72 Module has lost or does not gain sync on page 11-73 Module does not establish Ethernet connectivity on page 11-74 CMM4 does not pass proper GPS sync to connected modules on page 11-75 Module Software Cannot be Upgraded on page 11-76 Module Functions Properly, Except Web Interface Became Inaccessible on page 11-76 Module has lost or does not establish connectivity To troubleshoot a loss of connectivity, perform the following steps:
Procedure 36 Troubleshooting loss of connectivity 1 2 3 Isolate the end user/SM from peripheral equipment and variables such as routers, switches and firewalls. Set up the minimal amount of equipment. On each end of the link:
Check the cables and connections. Verify that the cable/connection schemestraight-through or crossoveris correct. Verify that the LED labeled LNK is green. Access the General Status tab in the Home page of the module. Verify that the SM is registered. Verify that Received Power Level is -87 dBm or higher. Access the IP tab in the Configuration page of the module. Verify that IP addresses match and are in the same subnet. If RADIUS authentication is configured, ensure that the RADIUS server is operational Page 11-68 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures 4 On the SM end of the link:
Verify that the PC that is connected to the SM is correctly configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP. Execute ipconfig (Windows) or ifconfig (linux) Verify that the PC has an assigned IP address. 5 On each end of the link:
Access the General tab in the Configuration page of each module. Verify that the setting for Link Speeds (or negotiation) matches that of the other module. Access the Radio tab in the Configuration page of each module. Verify that the Radio Frequency Carrier setting is checked in the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List. Verify that the Color Code setting matches that of the other module. Access the browser LAN settings (for example, at Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings in Internet Explorer). Verify that none of the settings are selected. Access the Link Capacity Test tab in the Tools page of the module. Perform a link test Verify that the link test results show efficiency greater than 90% in both the uplink and downlink Execute ping. o Verify that no packet loss was experienced. o Verify that response times are not significantly greater than 4 ms from AP to SM 15 ms from SM to AP o Replace any cables that you suspect may be causing the problem. Note A ping size larger than 1494 Bytes to a module times out and fails. However, a ping of this size or larger to a system that is behind a Canopy module typically succeeds. It is generally advisable to ping such a system, since Canopy handles that ping with the same priority as is given all other transport traffic. The results are unaffected by ping size and by the load on the Canopy module that brokers this traffic. 6 After connectivity has been re-established, reinstall network elements and variables that you removed in Step 1. Page 11-69 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures NAT/DHCP-configured SM has lost or does not establish connectivity Before troubleshooting this problem, identify the NAT/DHCP configuration from the following list:
NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP Server NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) NAT with DHCP Server NAT without DHCP To troubleshoot a loss of connectivity for a SM configured for NAT/DHCP, perform the following steps. Page 11-70 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Procedure 37 Troubleshooting loss of connectivity for NAT/DHCP-configured SM 1 2 3 Isolate the end user/SM from peripheral equipment and variables such as routers, switches and firewalls. Set up the minimal amount of equipment. On each end of the link:
Check the cables and connections. Verify that the cable/connection schemestraight-through or crossoveris correct. Verify that the LED labeled LNK is green. 4 At the SM:
Access the NAT Table tab in the Logs web page. Verify that the correct NAT translations are listed. RESULT: NAT is eliminated as a possible cause if these translations are correct. 5 If this SM is configured for NAT with DHCP, then at the SM:
Execute ipconfig (Windows) or ifconfig (Linux) Verify that the PC has an assigned IP address. If the PC does not have an assigned IP address, then o enter ipconfig /release Adapter Name. o enter ipconfig /renew Adapter Name. o reboot the PC. o after the PC has completed rebooting, execute ipconfig o if the PC has an assigned IP address, then o access the NAT DHCP Statistics tab in the Statistics web page of the SM. o verify that DHCP is operating as configured. 6 After connectivity has been re-established, reinstall network elements and variables that you removed in Step 1. Page 11-71 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures SM Does Not Register to an AP To troubleshoot a SM failing to register to an AP, perform the following steps. Procedure 38 Troubleshooting SM failing to register to an AP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Access the Radio tab in the Configuration page of the SM. Note the Color Code of the SM. Access the Radio tab in the Configuration page of the AP. Verify that the Color Code of the AP matches that of the SM. Note the Radio Frequency Carrier of the AP. Verify that the value of the RF Frequency Carrier of the AP is selected in the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List parameter in the SM. In the AP, verify that the Max Range parameter is set to a distance slightly greater than the distance between the AP and the furthest SM that must register to this AP. Verify that no obstruction significantly penetrates the Fresnel zone of the attempted link. Access the General Status tab in the Home page of each module. Remove the bottom cover of the SM to expose the LEDs. Power cycle the SM. RESULT: Approximately 25 seconds after the power cycle, the green LED labeled LNK must light to indicate that the link has been established. If the orange LED labeled SYN is lit instead, then the SM is in Alignment mode because the SM failed to establish the link. 12 If the AP is configured to require authentication, ensure proper configuration of RADIUS or Pre-shared AP key. 13 In this latter case and if the SM has encountered no customer-inflicted damage, then request an RMA for the SM. Page 11-72 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Module has lost or does not gain sync To troubleshoot a loss of sync, perform the following steps. Procedure 39 Troubleshooting loss of sync 1 2 3 4 Access the Event Log tab in the Home page of the SM Check for messages with the following format:
RcvFrmNum =
ExpFrmNum =
If these messages are present, check the Event Log tab of another SM that is registered to the same AP for messages of the same type. If the Event Log of this second SM does not contain these messages, then the fault is isolated to the first SM. If the Event Log page of this second SM contains these messages, access the GPS Status page of the AP. 5 If the Satellites Tracked field in the GPS Status page of the AP indicates fewer than 4 or the Pulse Status field does not indicate Generating Sync, check the GPS Status page of another AP in the same AP cluster for these indicators. GPS signal acquisition must not take longer than 5 minutes from unit startup. 6 If these indicators are present in the second AP, then:
Verify that the GPS antenna still has an unobstructed view of the entire horizon. Visually inspect the cable and connections between the GPS antenna and the CMM4. If this cable is not shielded, replace the cable with shielded cable 7 If these indicators are not present in the second AP, visually inspect the cable and connections between the CMM4 and the AP antenna. If this cable is not shielded, replace the cable with shielded cable. Page 11-73 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Module does not establish Ethernet connectivity To troubleshoot a loss of Ethernet connectivity, perform the following steps:
Procedure 40 Troubleshooting loss of Ethernet connectivity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Verify that the connector crimps on the Ethernet cable are not loose. Verify that the Ethernet cable is not damaged. If the Ethernet cable connects the module to a network interface card (NIC), verify that the cable is pinned out as a straight-through cable. If the Ethernet cable connects the module to a hub, switch, or router, verify that the cable is pinned out as a crossover cable. Verify that the Ethernet port to which the cable connects the module is set to auto-
negotiate speed. Verify VLAN configuration in the network, which may cause loss of module access if the accessing device is on a separate VLAN from the radio. Power cycle the module. RESULT: Approximately 25 seconds after the power cycle, the green LED labeled LNK must light up to indicate that the link has been established. If the orange LED labeled SYN is lit instead, then the module is in Alignment mode because the module failed to establish the link. 8 In this latter case and if the module has encountered no customer-inflicted damage, then request an RMA for the module. Page 11-74 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures CMM4 does not pass proper GPS sync to connected modules If the Event Log tabs in all connected modules contain Loss of GPS Sync Pulse messages, perform the following steps. Procedure 41 Troubleshooting CMM4 not passing sync 1 2 3 4 Verify that the GPS antenna has an unobstructed view of the entire horizon. Verify that the GPS coaxial cable meets specifications. Verify that the GPS sync cable meets specifications for wiring and length. If the web pages of connected modules indicate any of the following, then find and eliminate the source of noise that is being coupled into the GPS sync cable:
In the GPS Status page:
o anomalous number of Satellites Tracked (greater than 12, for example) o incorrect reported Latitude and/or Longitude of the antenna In the Event Log page:
o garbled GPS messages o large number of Acquired GPS Sync Pulse messages GPS signal acquisition must not take longer than 5 minutes from unit startup. 5 If these efforts fail to resolve the problem, then request an RMA for the CMM4. Page 11-75 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Module Software Cannot be Upgraded If your attempt to upgrade the software of a module fails, perform the following steps. Procedure 42 Troubleshooting an unsuccessful software upgrade 1 2 3 4 5 6 Download the latest issue of the target release and the associated release notes. Verify that the latest version of CNUT is installed. Compare the files used in the failed attempt to the newly downloaded software. Compare the procedure used in the failed attempt to the procedure in the newly downloaded release notes. If these comparisons reveal a difference, retry the upgrade, this time with the newer file or newer procedure. If, during attempts to upgrade the FPGA firmware, the following message is repeatable, then request an RMA for the module:
Error code 6, unrecognized device Module Functions Properly, Except Web Interface Became Inaccessible If a module continues to pass traffic and the SNMP interface to the module continues to function, but the web interface to the module does not display, perform the following steps:
Procedure 43 Restoring web management GUI access 1 2 3 4 Enter telnet DottedIPAddress. RESULT: A telnet session to the module is invoked. At the Login prompt, enter root. At the Password prompt, enter PasswordIfConfigured. At the Telnet +> prompt, enter reset. RESULT: The web interface is accessible again and this telnet connection is closed. Note The module may also be rebooted via an SNMP-based NMS (Wireless Manager, for example) 5 If the issue persists, turn off any SNMP-based network/radio monitoring software and repeat steps 1-4.

Values of 0 through 3 map to the low-priority channel; 4 through 7 to the high-priority channel. The mappings are the same as 802.1p VLAN priorities. (However, configuring DiffServ does not automatically enable the VLAN feature.) Among the settable parameters, the values are set in the AP for all downlinks within the sector and in the SM for each uplink. DMZ Demilitarized Zone as defined in RFC 2647.

Radio Frequency Scan Selection List The SM or BHS scans complete spectrum as per Full Spectrum Band Scan feature. SMs or BHS first boot into the smallest selected channel bandwidth (10 MHz, if selected) and scan all selected frequencies across both the 5.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz frequency bands. After this scan, if a wider channel bandwidth is selected (20 MHz), the SM/BHS automatically changes to 20 MHz channel bandwidth and then scans for APs/BHSs. After the SM/BHS finishes this final scan it will evaluate the best AP/BHM with which to register. If required for registration, the SM/BHS changes its channel bandwidth back to 10 MHz to match the best AP/BHM. The SM/BHS will attempt to connect to an AP/BHM based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM/BHS registrations to the AP/BHM
(which affects system contention performance). If it is desired to prioritize a certain AP/BHM over other available APs/BHMs, operators may use the Color Code Priority feature on the SM/BHS. Utilization of the Color Code feature on the AP/BHM is recommended to further constrain the AP selection. If the SM does not find any suitable APs/BHMs for registration after scanning all channel bandwidths, the SM restarts the scanning process beginning with the smallest configured channel bandwidth. Selecting multiple frequencies and multiple channel bandwidths impacts the SM/BHS scanning time. The biggest consumption of time is in the changing of the SM/BHS channel bandwidth setting. The worst case scanning time is approximately two minutes after boot up (SM/BHS with all frequencies and channel bandwidths selected and registering to an AP/BHM at 10 MHz). If only one channel bandwidth is selected the time to scan all the available frequencies and register to an AP/BHM is approximately one minute after boot up. Other scanning features such as Color Code, Installation Color Code, and RADIUS authentication are unaffected by the Full Band Scan feature. Page 7-170 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Dedicated Multicast Virtual Circuit (VC) A Multicast VC allows to configure multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 4X or 8X. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 and PMP 450i and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. To configure Multicast VC, the AP must have this enabled. This can be enabled in the Multicast Data Control section (under Configuration > Radio page). The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. To enable, select the data rate that is desired for the Multicast VC Data Rate parameter and click Save Changes button. The radio requires no reboot after any changes to this parameter. The multicast VC allows three different parameters to be configured on the AP. These can be changed on the fly and are saved on the flash memory. Note If the Multicast VC Data Rate is set to a modulation that the radio is not currently capable of or operates in non-permitted channel conditions, multicast data is sent but not received. Ex: If Multicast VC Data Rate is set to 6x and the channel conditions only permit 4x mode of operation, then multicast data is sent at 6x modulation but the SM will not receive the data. Note The PMP 450 AP supports up to 119 VCs (instead of 238 VCs) when configured for 30 MHz channel bandwidth or 5 ms Frame Period. This limitation is not applicable for PMP 450i/450m Series. Note Actual Multicast CIR honored by the AP = Configured Multicast CIR/ (Multicast Repeat Count + 1). Increasing the Multicast data rate has no impact on the Unicast data rate. For multicast and unicast traffic mix scenario examples, see Table 159. Table 159 Example for mix of multicast and unicast traffic scenarios Repeat Count 0 1 2 Multicast Data Rate (Mbps) 10 5 Unicast Data Rate (Mbps) 40 40 Aggregate DL Data Rate (Mbps) 50 45 3.33 40 43.33 The statistics have been added to the Data VC page (under Statistics > Data VC).

Figure 145 Multicast scheduler statistics Page 7-172 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Custom Frequencies page In addition to the Radio tab, AP/SM/BH has another tab called Custom Frequencies as shown in Table 160. The custom frequency tab allows to configure custom frequency at 1 KHz raster. It means that the custom frequencies can be at granularity of 1 KHz e.g. 4910.123 MHz, 4922.333 MHz, 4933.421 MHz etc. Note Ensure that a customer frequency exists before using SNMP to set the radio to a Custom Frequency.

Page 7-175 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters DFS for 5 GHz Radios Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a requirement in several countries and regions for 5 GHz unlicensed systems to detect radar systems and avoid co-channel operation. DFS and other regulatory requirements drive the settings for the following parameters, as discussed in this section:
Country 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. Figure 146 AP DFS Status DFS operation The ODUs use region-specific DFS based on the Country Code selected on the modules Configuration, General page. By directing installers and technicians to set the Country Code correctly, the operator gains confidence the module is operating according to national or regional regulations without having to deal with the details for each region. The details of DFS operation for each Country Code, including whether DFS is active on the AP, SM, and which DFS regulations apply is shown in Table 259 on page 10-47. Page 7-176 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Contention slots The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. Uplink Data Slots are used first for data. If they are not needed for data in a given frame, the remaining data slots can be used by the SMs for bandwidth requests. This allows SMs in sectors with a small number of Contention slots configured to still successfully transmit bandwidth requests using unused data slots. A higher number of Contention slots give higher probability that a SMs bandwidth request is correctly received when the system is heavily loaded, but with the tradeoff that sector capacity is reduced, so there is less capacity to handle the request. The sector capacity reduction is about 200 kbps for each Contention slot configured in a 20 MHz channel at QPSK MIMO-A modulation. The reduction in sector capacity is proportionally higher at MIMO-B modulations (2 times at QPSK MIMO-B, 4 times at 16 QAM MIMO-B, 6 times at 64 QAM MIMO-B and 8 times at 256 QAM MIMO-B). If very few reserved Contention slots are specified, then latency increases in high traffic periods. If too many are specified, then the maximum capacity is unnecessarily reduced. The suggested Contention slot settings as a function of the number of active SMs in the sector are shown in the table below. Table 163 Contention slots and number of SMs Number of SMs 1 to 10 Recommended Number of Contention slots 11 to 50 51 to 150 3 4 6 8 151 and above In a typical cluster, each AP must be set to the same number of Contention slots to assure proper timing in the send and receive cycles. However, where high incidence of small packets exists, as in a sector that serves several VoIP streams, additional Contention slots may provide better results. For APs in a cluster of mismatched Contention slots setting, or where PMP 450/450i Series is collocated with radios using different technologies, like PMP 430 or FSK, in the same frequency band, use the frame calculator. To download the PMP 450 Contention Slots Paper, see http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/solution-papers/pmp-450-contention-slots.

Page 7-177 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters MIMO-A mode of operation 450 Platform Family supports MIMO-B mode using the following modulation levels: QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-
QAM and 256-QAM. System Release 13.2 introduces MIMO-A mode of operation using the same modulation levels as the MIMO-B mode. With MIMO-B, the radio sends different streams of data over the two antennas whereas with MIMO-A, the radio uses a scheme that tries to optimize coverage by transmitting the same data over both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver making it more robust, at the cost of throughput. In addition to introducing MIMO-A modes, improvements have been made to the existing rate adapt algorithm to switch between MIMO-A and MIMO-B seamlessly without any intervention or added configuration by the operator. The various modulation levels used by the 450 Platform Family are shown in Table 164.

* For PMP 450 AP (3.6 GHz) and 450 platform APs with 450b SM (5 GHz) connected, Configuration -> Radio ->
Power Control -> Adjacent Channel Support must be enabled. Improved PPS performance of 450 Platform Family The 450m, 450i, and 450b Series provides improved packets per second (PPS) performance compared to 450 Series. Through hardware and software enhancements, the PPS performance of the PMP 450i Series AP and PMP 450b SM has been improved to 40k packets/second, measured through a standard RFC2544 test using 64 bytes packets. With this enhancement, operators are able to provide higher bandwidth including better VoIP and video services to end customers using existing SM deployments. PMP 450m supports 100k packets/second. Page 7-180 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Setting up SNMP agent Operators may use SNMP commands to set configuration parameters and retrieve data from the AP and SM modules. Also, if enabled, when an event occurs, the SNMP agent on the 450 Platform Family sends a trap to whatever SNMP trap receivers configured in the management network. SNMPv2c SNMPv3 Page 7-181 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Configuring SM/BHSs IP over-the-air access To access the SM/BHS management interface from a device situated above the AP, the SM/BHSs Network Accessibility parameter (under the web GUI at Configuration > IP) may be set to Public. Table 167 LAN1 Network Interface Configuration tab of IP page attributes Attribute IP Address Meaning Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Network Accessibility Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address DHCP state DNS IP Address Specify whether the IP address of the SM/BHS must be visible to only a device connected to the SM/BHS by Ethernet (Local) or be visible to the AP/BHM as well (Public). If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM/BHS for RF management traffic. If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM/BHS for RF management traffic. If Enabled is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable (read only), in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS Server The first address used for DNS resolution. Alternate DNS Server If the Preferred DNS server cannot be reached, the Alternate DNS Server is used. Page 7-182 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Page 7-183 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Configuring SNMP The SNMP page configuration is explained below. Note The SNMP page for AP, SM, BHM and BHS has the same parameter attributes. SNMP page AP/SM/BHM/BHS The SNMP page is explained in Table 168. Table 168 SNMP page attributes Page 7-184 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Attribute SNMP Community String 1 SNMP Community String 1 Permissions SNMP Community String 2 (Read Only) Meaning Specify a control string that can allow a Network Management Station (NMS) to access SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopy. You can designate the SNMP Community String 1 to be the password for WM, for example, to have Read / Write access to the module via SNMP or for all SNMP access to the module to be Read Only. Specify an additional control string that can allow a Network Management Station (NMS) to read SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopyro. This password will never authenticate a user or an NMS to read/write access. Page 7-185 Chapter 7: Configuration Engine ID SNMPv3 Security Level SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol SNMPv3 Read-Only User SNMPv3 Read/Write User Additional SNMP v3 User 1 Setting up SNMP agent The Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor. Additional security derives from the configuration of the Accessing Subnet, Trap Address, and Permission parameters. The Engine ID may be between 5 and 32 hex characters. The hex character input is driven by RFC 3411 recommendations on the Engine ID. The default Engine ID is the MAC address of the device Specify security model where users are defined and authenticated before granting access to any SNMP service. Each device can configure the security level of SNMPv3 to No authentication/No privacy, Authentication/No privacy, or Authentication/Privacy. Currently, the SNMPv3 authentication protocol MD5 is supported. Currently, the SNMPv3 privacy protocol CBC-DES is supported. This field allows for a read-only user per devices. The default values for the Read-Only users is:
Username = Canopyro Authentication Password = authCanopyro Privacy Password = privacyCanopyro Read-write user by default is disabled. The default values for the Read/Write users is :
Username = Canopy Authentication Password = authCanopy Privacy Password = privacyCanopy This field allows to configure the Additional SNMP v3 User 1. The configurations include:
Enable/Disable User: These fields allow to enable or disable the user using the Enable User or Disable User radio buttons. Authorizaton Key: This field allows to configure an authorization key for the user. Privacy Key: This field allows to configure a privacy key for the user. Note:
Set SNMP v3 Security Level field to :auth,priv to enable the Authorization Key and Privacy Key fields. Enabled User can be set with following privacy settings:
ReadWrite User ReadOnly User Page 7-186 Chapter 7: Configuration Additional SNMP v3 User 2 Additional SNMP v3 User 3 SNMPv3 Trap Configuration Accessing IP / Subnet Mask 1 to 10 Setting up SNMP agent This field allows to configure the Additional SNMP v3 User 2. The configurations include:
Enable/Disable User: These fields allow to enable or disable the user using the Enable User or Disable User radio buttons. Authorizaton Key: This field allows to configure an authorization key for the user. Privacy Key: This field allows to configure a privacy key for the user. Set SNMP v3 Security Level field to :auth,priv to enable the Authorization Key and Privacy Key fields. Enabled User can be set with following Privacy settings:
ReadWrite User ReadOnly User This field allows to configure the Additional SNMP v3 User 3. The configurations include:
Enable/Disable User: These fields allow to enable or disable the user using the Enable User or Disable User radio buttons. Authorizaton Key: This field allows to configure an authorization key for the user. Privacy Key: This field allows to configure a privacy key for the user. Set SNMP v3 Security Level field to :auth,priv to enable the Authorization Key and Privacy Key fields. Enabled User can be set with following Privacy settings:
ReadWrite User ReadOnly User When enabling transmission of SNMPv3 traps the read-only or read-write user credentials must be used and selected properly in order for the SNMP manager to correctly interpret the traps. By default transmission of SNMPv3 traps is disabled and all traps sent from the radios are in SNMPv2c format. Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this AP. The NMS has an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form /xx For example:
the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet). 192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range 192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the AP, presuming that the device supplies the correct Community String value. Page 7-187 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent SNMP Trap Server DNS Usage Trap Address 1 to 10 Trap Enable, Sync Status Trap Enable, Session Status Site Information Viewable to Guest Users Site Name Site Contact Site Location The default treatment is to allow all networks access. For more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on Classless Interdomain Routing. You are allowed to specify as many as 10 different accessing IP address, subnet mask combinations. RECOMMENDATION:
The subscriber can access the SM/BHS by changing the subscriber device to the accessing subnet. This hazard exists because the Community String and Accessing Subnet are both visible parameters. To avoid this hazard, configure the SM/BHS to filter (block) SNMP requests. The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the trap server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. The default SNMP trap server addresses for all 10 available servers is 0.0.0.0 with the appending of the DNS domain name disabled. Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or DNS names to which SNMP traps must be sent. Traps inform Wireless Manager or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent after a reboot of the module. when an NMS attempts to access agent information but either If the sync status traps (sync lost and sync regained) have to be sent to Wireless Manager or an NMS, select Enabled. If these traps have to be suppressed, select Disabled. supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number. is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed. If you want session status traps sent to Wireless Manager or an NMS, select Enabled. Operators can enable or disable site information from appearing when a user is in GUEST account mode. Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is written into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Enter contact information for the module administrator. This parameter is written into the sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Enter information about the physical location of the module. This parameter is written into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Page 7-188 Configuring syslog Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog 450 Platform Family includes:
Syslog event logging Configuring system logging Page 7-189 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Syslog event logging Following events are logged in syslog as explained in Table 169. Table 169 Syslog parameters Attribute Timestamp Configuration Changes User Login and Logout Add or Delete of user accounts through GUI and SNMP Meaning All syslog messages captured from the radio have a timestamp. This includes any device setting that has changed and includes the old or new parameter value, including the device reboots. Syslog records each user login and logout, with username. Syslog captures any user accounts that are added or deleted. Spectrum Analysis Syslog records a message every time Spectrum Analysis runs. Note Since the AP/BHM must be set to a SM/BHS for Spectrum Analysis, syslog messages are not reported from the radio until the scan is done and the radio mode is switched back to AP/BHM. Syslog records a message every time a Link Test is run. Syslog sends a message when Statistics are cleared. This is done individually for each statistics page that is cleared. Syslog records a message when a SM registers or deregisters. Syslog records a message when a BHS connects or disconnects. Link Test Clear Statistics SM Register or De-
register BHS Connect or Disconnect Configuring system logging To configure system logging, select the menu option Configuration > Syslog. Syslog page of AP/BHM The Syslog Configuration page for AP/BHM is shown in Table 170. Page 7-190 Chapter 7: Configuration Table 170 Syslog Configuration attributes - AP Configuring syslog Attribute Syslog DNS Server Usage Syslog Server Meaning To configure the AP/BHM to append or not append the DNS server name to the syslog server name. The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. AP Syslog Transmit Or BHM Syslog Transmit SM Syslog Transmit Or BHS Syslog Transmit Syslog Minimum Level When enabled, syslog messages are sent from the AP/BHM. When enabled, syslog messages are sent from all the registered SMs/BHS, unless they are individually set to override this. This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. Syslog page of SM To configure system logging, select the menu option Configuration > Syslog. The Syslog Configuration page is shown in Table 171. Page 7-191 Chapter 7: Configuration Table 171 Syslog Configuration attributes - SM Configuring syslog Attribute Syslog Configuration Source Meaning This control determines whether the SM will attempt to use the syslog server definition from the AP, or whether it will use a local server definition. When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the syslog server defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any. When set to Local only the SM ignores the APs definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for each SM. Syslog DNS Server Usage To configure the SM to append or not the DNS server name to the syslog server name. Syslog Server Syslog Server Port Syslog Transmission Syslog Minimum Level Source The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. Controls the SMs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to Learn from AP the AP will control whether this SM transmits syslog messages. When set to enable or disable the SM will control whether it sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override the AP settings for individual SMs in a sector. This control determines whether the SM attempts to use the minimum syslog level defined by the AP, or whether it uses a local defined value using the Syslog Minimum Level parameter. When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the Syslog Minimum Level defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting. When set to Local only the SM will always use its own Syslog Minimum Level setting and ignores the APs setting. Page 7-192 Chapter 7: Configuration Syslog Minimum Level Configuring syslog This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. Syslog page of BHS The Syslog Configuration page is shown in Table 172. Table 172 Syslog Configuration attributes - BHS Attribute Syslog Configuration Source Meaning This control determines whether the BHS will attempt to use the syslog server definition from the BHM, or whether it will use a local server definition. When set to BHM preferred, use local when BHM configuration unavailable, and if the BHS can register with a BHM, then it uses the syslog server defined on that BHM. If the BHS cannot register then it will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any. When set to Local only the BHS ignores the BHMs definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for each BHS. Syslog DNS Server Usage To configure the BHS to append or not to append the DNS server name to the syslog server name. Syslog Server Syslog Server Port Syslog Transmission The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. Controls the BHSs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to Learn from BHM the BHM will control whether this BHS transmits syslog messages. When set to enable or disable the BHS will control whether it Page 7-193 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override the BHM settings for individual BHSs in a sector. This control determines whether the BHS attempts to use the minimum syslog level defined by the BHM, or whether it uses a local defined value using the Syslog Minimum Level parameter. When set to BHM preferred, use local when BHM configuration unavailable, and if the BHS can register with a BHM, then it uses the Syslog Minimum Level defined on that BHM. If the BHS cannot register then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting. When set to Local only the BHS will always use its own Syslog Minimum Level setting and ignores the BHMs setting. This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. Syslog Minimum Level Source Syslog Minimum Level Page 7-194 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring remote access Configuring remote access Accessing SM/BHS over-the-air by Web Proxy The SM/BHS may be accessed via the AP/BHM management GUI by navigating to Home > Session Status (or Home > Remote Subscribers for AP only) and clicking on the SMs hyperlink. For example, to access one of the SMs, click LUID: 002 [0a-00-3e-37-b9-fd], as shown in Figure 147. Figure 147 AP Session Status page The SessionStatus.xml hyper link allows user to export all displayed SM data in Session Status table into an xml file. To access any one of the SMs, click 450 Platform Family - SM hyperlink, as shown in Figure 148. Figure 148 AP Remote Subscribers page Page 7-195 Chapter 7: Configuration Monitoring the Link Monitoring the Link Link monitoring procedure After configuring the link, either an operator in the network office or the SM/BHS INSTALLER user in the field (if read access to the AP/BHM is available to the INSTALLER) must perform the following procedure. Who is authorized and able to do this depends on local operator password policy, management VLAN setup and operational practices. To monitor the link for performance, follow these instructions:
Procedure 22 Monitoring the AP-SM link 1 Access the web interface of the AP/BHM 2 3 Click the Session Status tab. In the left-side menu of the AP/BHM interface, select Home. Figure 149 Session Status page 4 The Device tab of Session Status List display all displayed SMs MAC address, PMP/PTP Hardware, Software Version, FPGA Version and State Page 7-196 Chapter 7: Configuration Monitoring the Link 5 Click Session Count tab of Session Status List to display values for Session Count, Reg Count, and Re-Reg Count. Session Count: This field displays how many sessions the SM/BHS has had with the AP/BHM. Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. Reg Count: When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is not currently in session database and it is valid Registration Request, then the request increments the value of this field. Re-Reg Count: When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is currently in session database, then the request increments the value of this field. Typically, a Re-Reg is the case where both o SM/BHS attempts to reregister for having lost communication with the AP/BHM. o AP/BHM has not yet observed the link to the SM/BHS as being down. See Session tab on page 9-21 6 Click Power tab of Session Status list to display Downlink Rate, AP Rx Power (dBm), Signal Strength Radio (dB) for Uplink and Signal to Noise Radio (dB) for Uplink. See Power tab on page 9-23 7 Click Configuration tab of Session Status list to get QoS configuration details:
Sustained Data Rate (kbps) Burst Allocation (kbit) Max Burst Rate (kbit) Low Priority CIR (kbps) See Configuration tab on page 9-25 8 Briefly monitor these values, occasionally refreshing this page by clicking another tab and 9 then the Session Status tab again. If these values are low (for example, 1, 1, and 0, respectively, meaning that the SM/BHS registered and started a stable session once) and are not changing:
Consider the installation successful. Monitor these values from the network office over the next several hours and days. If these values are greater than 1, 1, and 0, or they increase while you are monitoring them, troubleshoot the link. (For example, Use Receive Power Level for aiming and then use Link Tests to confirm alignment). Refer Viewing Session Status on page 9-20 for more details. Page 7-197 Chapter 7: Configuration Monitoring the Link Exporting Session Status page of AP/BHM The SessionStatus.xml hyper link allows user to export all displayed SMs or BHS data in Session Status table into an xml file. Figure 150 Exporting Session Status page of PMP 450m AP In case of PMP, if the session status page does not list any SM, the SessionStatus.xml will still be visible but the file would be empty. The file will contain data from all of the 5 different tables. Export from command line The scripts users can also get this file from command line, you have to authenticate successfully in order to download the file.

Sustained Uplink Data Rate (kbps) Uplink Burst Allocation (kb) Sustained Downlink Data Rate (kbps) Downlink Burst Allocation (kb) Max Burst Downlink Data Rate (kbps) Max Burst Uplink Data Rate (kbps) Set each of these parameters per AP or per SM independently. Note You can refer below whitepaper for 450 Platform Family Max Burst MIR:
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/resources/pmp-450-maxburst/
Token Bucket Algorithm The software uses a token bucket algorithm that has the following features:
Stores credits (tokens) for the SM to spend on bandwidth for reception or transmission. Drains tokens during reception or transmission. Refills with tokens at the sustained rate set by the network operator. 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. When the SM transmits (or the AP transmits) a packet, the equivalent number of tokens is removed from the uplink (or downlink) bucket. Except when full, the bucket is continuously being refilled with tokens at rates that the applicable set of Sustained Uplink Data Rate and Sustained Downlink Data Rate parameters specify. The bucket often drains at a rate that is much faster than the sustained data rate but can refill at only the sustained data rate. Thus, the effects of the allocation and rate parameters on packet delay are as follows:
The burst allocation affects how many kilobits are processed before packet delay is imposed. The sustained data rate affects the packet delay that is imposed. Page 7-199 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service MIR Data Entry Checking Uplink and downlink MIR is enforced as shown in Figure 151. Note In these figures, entry refers to the setting in the data rate parameter, not the burst allocation parameter. Figure 151 Uplink and downlink rate caps adjusted to apply aggregate cap uplink cap enforced =
downlink cap enforced =
uplink entry x aggregate cap for the SM uplink entry + downlink entry downlink entry x aggregate cap for the SM uplink entry + downlink entry 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 is enforced for the SM can be calculated as shown in Figure 152. Figure 152 Uplink and downlink rate cap adjustment example uplink cap enforced =
2,000 kbps x 7,000 kbps 2,000 kbps + 10,000 kbps
= 1,167 kbps downlink cap enforced =
`
10,000 kbps x 7,000 kbps 2,000 kbps + 10,000 kbps
= 5,833 kbps In this example case, the derived 1,167-kbps uplink and 5,833-kbps downlink MIR sum to the fixed 7,000-
kbps aggregate cap of the SM. Committed Information Rate (CIR) The Committed Information Rate (CIR) capability feature enables the service provider to guarantee to any subscriber that bandwidth will never decrease to below a specified minimum unless CIR is oversubscribed or RF conditions are degraded. CIR is oversubscribed when there is not enough available bandwidth to support CIR configuration for all subscribers. In this condition, SMs which are configured with a nonzero CIR will all operate at the maximum data rate supported by the link (subject to Maximum Information Rate and Burst Rate/Allocations). SMs which are configured with a CIR of 0 kbps will not transmit until CIR-configured SMs have completed transmission. CIR may be configured independently for high priority traffic and for low priority traffic. CIR parameters may be configured in the following ways:
Web-based management GUI SNMP Authentication Server (RADIUS) - when an SM successfully registers and authenticates, CIR information is retrieved from the RADIUS server. Page 7-200 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service Active CIR configuration can be verified via the APs Home > Session Status page. Bandwidth from the SM Perspective In the SM, normal web browsing, e-mail, small file transfers and short streaming video are rarely rate limited with practical bandwidth management (QoS) settings. When the SM processes large downloads such as software upgrades and long streaming video or a series of medium-size downloads, the bucket rapidly drains, the burst limit is reached, and some packets are delayed. The subscriber experience is more affected in cases where the traffic is more latency sensitive. 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. After the burst, the bucket experiences a significant refill at the Sustained Data Rate. This configuration uses the advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. If both the Burst Allocation and the Sustained Data Rate are set to 128 kb, a burst is limited to the Burst Allocation value. This configuration does not take advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. If the Burst Allocation is set to 128 kb and the Sustained Data Rate is set to 256 kbps, the actual rate is the burst allocation (but in kbps). As above, this configuration does not take advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. High-priority Bandwidth To support low-latency traffic such as VoIP (Voice over IP) or video, the system implements a high-priority channel. This channel does not affect the inherent latencies in the system but allows high-priority traffic to be immediately served. The high-priority pipe separates low-latency traffic from traffic that is latency tolerant, such as standard web traffic and file downloads. The number of channels available on the AP is reduced by the number of SMs configured for the high-
priority channel (each SM operating with high-priority enabled uses two channels (virtual circuits) instead of one). A module prioritizes traffic by reading the Low Latency bit (Bit 3) in the Ipv4 Type of Service (ToS) byte in a received packet. Bit 3 is set by a device outside the system. reading the 802.1p field of the 802.1Q header in a received packet, where VLAN is enabled on the module. comparing the 6-bit Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field in the ToS byte of a received packet to a corresponding value in the Diffserv tab of the Configuration page of the module. A packet contains no flag that indicates whether the encoding is for the Low Latency bit or the DSCP field. For this reason, you must ensure that all elements in your trusted domain, including routers and endpoints, set and read the ToS byte with the same scheme. Modules monitor ToS bytes with DSCP fields, but with the following differences:
The 6-bit length of the field allows it to specify one of 64 service differentiations. These correlate to 64 individual (CodePoint) parameters in the Diffserv tab of the Configuration page. Page 7-201 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service Per RFC 2474, 3 of these 64 are preset and cannot be changed. (See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1902.html.) For any or all of the remaining 61 CodePoint parameters, you can specify a value of o 0 through 3 for low-priority handling. o 4 through 7 for high-priority handling. Note Ensure that your Differentiated Services domain boundary nodes mark any entering packet, as needed, so that it specifies the appropriate Code Point for that traffic and domain. This prevents theft of service level. An example of the Diffserv page in the Configuration menu and parameter descriptions are provided under DiffServ attributes AP/BHM on page 7-60. This tab and its rules are identical from module type to module type. However, any of the 61 configurable Code Points can be set to a different value from module to module, thus defining unique per-hop behavior for some traffic. This tab in the AP sets the priorities for the various packets in the downstream (sent from the public network). This tab in the SM 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. The default values in the Diffserv page allow your modules to prioritize traffic from the older devices roughly the same as they traditionally have. However, these default values may result in more high-priority traffic as DSCP fields from the newer devices are read and handled. So, after making changes in the Diffserv page, carefully monitor the high-priority channel for high packet rates across your network when you have broadly implemented Code Point values, such as via SNMP. in SMs that you have identified as those to initially set and watch. Page 7-202 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service Traffic Scheduling The characteristics of traffic scheduling in a sector are summarized in Table 173. Table 173 Characteristics of traffic scheduling Category Throughput Latency Factor Aggregate throughput, less additional overhead Number of frames required for the scheduling process Round-trip latency AP broadcast the download schedule Treatment 132 Mbps 1 6 ms No High-priority Channel Allocation for uplink high-priority traffic on amount of high-priority traffic Dynamic, based on amount of high-

priority traffic Order of transmission CIR high-priority CIR low-priority Other high-priority Other low-priority Caution Power requirements affect the recommended maximums for power cord length feeding the CMM4. See the dedicated user guide that supports the CMM that you are deploying. Packets that have a priority of 4 to 7 in either the DSCP or a VLAN 802.1p tag are automatically sent on the high-priority channel, but only where the high-priority channel is enabled. Page 7-203 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service Setting the Configuration Source The AP includes a Configuration Source parameter, which sets where SMs that register to the AP are controlled for MIR, CIR, VLAN, and the high-priority channel as follows.

See Maximum Information Rate (MIR) Parameters on page 7-198 Interaction of Burst Allocation and Sustained Data Rate Settings on page 7-200 Configuration Source on page 7-69 Broadcast Downlink CIR (Committed Information Rate, a minimum) supports system designs where downlink broadcast is desired to have higher priority than other traffic. For many other system designs, especially typical internet access networks, leave the Broadcast Downlink CIR at the default. Broadcast Downlink CIR is closely related to the Broadcast Repeat Count parameter, which is settable in the Radio tab of the Configuration page in the AP: when the Broadcast Repeat Count is changed, the total of available bandwidth is also changed, since packets are being sent one, two, or three times, according to the setting in the Broadcast Repeat Count parameter. Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. Operators may configure the SM to utilize the high priority channel for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the SM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the SM. To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements.

Page 7-211 Chapter 7: Configuration Installation Color Code Installation Color Code With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If an SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using the Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Figure 153 Installation Color Code of AP Page 7-212 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 This feature allows an SM to get its configuration via DHCP option 66. This can be used for the initial configuration of an SM as well as managing the configuration of SMs on an ongoing basis. Here is how it works in brief:
When the SM boots up, if it is set to use DHCP client, it will send out a DHCP Discover packet which includes a request for DHCP Option 66. In case of a brand new SM out of the box, the DHCP Discover packet is sent out if the SM connects to an AP using Installation Color Code (ICC), even though DHCP client is not enabled in factory default config. An appropriately configured DHCP server will respond with a DHCP Offer and include a URL in response to the Option 66 request. The URL should point to the configuration file. The device will download the configuration file and apply it. The device will reboot automatically if needed. (Note: this requires rebootIfRequired flag to be added to the config file. See Creating a Golden config file on page 7-213. Configuration Steps Procedure 23 Zero Touch Configuration steps 1 Create the golden config file(s) 2 Host it on an TFTP/FTP/HTTP/HTTPS server 3 Configure the DHCP server to return the URL of the golden config file in option 66 When the SM boots up, it will get the URL for the golden config from the DHCP server via option 66, download it and apply it. If all the SMs are configured exactly the same, then you can create just new golden config file that can be used with all SMs. If the SMs are not configured the same, see if it is possible to group the SMs such that SMs with the same configuration are served by the same DHCP pool. User can then create multiple golden config files and configure the DHCP server to use the appropriate config file for each pool. User can also create one config file per SM. This provides the most flexibility, but is practical only if you have a software tool/script to generate the config files for each MAC address. The files should be named
<mac>.cfg where <mac> is the MAC address of the SM, and stored in the same directory on the file server. The DHCP server should be configured to return the directory name ending with a / in option 66. The SM will automatically add <mac>.cfg to the path and get its config file. Page 7-213 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 If some configuration is unique per SM, but rest of the configuration is common, the SMs can be staged with the unique part, and use option 66 to manage the common part. For example, if each SM needs to have its coordinates set, dont include the coordinates in the golden config file. Instead, configure the coordinates for each SM manually. Manage the rest of the configuration using DHCP option 66. Creating a Golden config file The easiest way to create the golden config file is to configure an SM, export its configuration and edit it. To export the configuration file from the GUI of the SM, go to Configuration > Unit Settings tab, go to the Download Configuration File section and click on the <mac>.cfg link. This will give you a text file in JSON format. You can edit this file in a text editor but its easier to use a JSON editor like https://www.jsoneditoronline.org/. Strip down the config file to remove sections and entries that dont care about, and keep only the items that require changes. If there are many required changes, it can easily get confusing. To identify the exact items changes, first reset the SM to factory default, export the config file, make the necessary changes, export a second config file, then use a tool like WinMerge (http://winmerge.org/) to identify the differences. The config file contains the following informational entries at the top level. cfgUtcTimestamp: cfgUtcTimestamp, swVersion: CANOPY 15.1 SM-AES, cfgFileString: Canopy configuration file, srcMacAddress: 0a-00-3e-a2-c2-74, deviceType: 5.4/5.7GHz MIMO OFDM - Subscriber Module, cfgFileVersion: 1.0 The cfgUtcTimestamp, swVersion, srcMacAddress and deviceType lines can be deleted. Do not delete the cfgFileString and cfgFileVersion entries. Next, create an object named configFileParameters at the top level. Under that, add a parameter called rebootIfRequired and set it to true. This tells the SM to reboot automatically if a reboot is needed to apply the new configuration. A sample configuration file that has been edited for use via DHCP option 66 is given below.
{

}
]
}, networkConfig: {

}
}, cfgFileVersion: 1.0, cfgFileString: Canopy configuration file, configFileParameters: {
rebootIfRequired: true
}
}
When configuration is imported, only the items that exist in the configuration file are modified. Parameters that are not in the imported file are not changed. If user wish to revert those settings to their factory default values, please add a setToDefaults item under configFileParameters section with a value of true. cfgFileVersion: 1.0, cfgFileString: Canopy configuration file, configFileParameters: {
rebootIfRequired: true, setToDefaults: true
}
In case, the SM needs to fetch the configuration file on each boot up even when not connecting to AP via ICC, set Network Accessibility to Public and DHCP State to Enabled in the Configuration > IP page before exporting the configuration. Hosting the config file Copy the golden configuration file to an FTP, TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS server. This location can be password protected; you just have to include the user name and password in the URL. DHCP server configuration Configure DHCP server to return the full URL to the golden config file as the value of DHCP option 66. The following example explains how to make the change for Windows Server 2008. Adapt it to your specific DHCP server. Page 7-215 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Procedure 24 DHCP server configuration 1 Click Start > Administrative Tools > DHCP 2 If you have multiple Scopes defined, identify the correct Scope that will serve IP addresses for the SMs 3 Right click on Scope Option under the correct Scope and select Configure Options Page 7-216 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 4 In the Scope Options dialog, scroll down to 066 Boot Server Host Name, select the checkbox and enter the full URL to the golden config file as the String value. Then click OK. 5 In the DHCP snap-in window, right click and Refresh to see the DHCP option 66 in the list of DHCP options ftp://10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg ftp://admin:admin123@10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg (login as admin with password admin123) tftp://10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg Supported URL Formats FTP, TFTP, HTTP and HTTPS URLs are supported. Some examples are given below. http://10.120.163.253/golden-config.cfg https://10.120.163.253/smconfig/golden-config.cfg User can also specify the URL pointing to a directory and not a specific file. Terminate the URL with a /
to indicate that it is a directory and not a file. Use this format when each SM has its own individual config file. The directory should contain files named <mac>.cfg, one for each SM. For example:
ftp://10.120.163.253/smconfig/
In this case, the SM will append <mac>.cfg to the path and try to get that file. For example, if the SMs MAC address is 0a-00-3e-a2-c2-74, it will request for ftp://10.120.163.253/smconfig/0a003ea2c274.cfg. This mechanism can be used to serve individual config file for each SM. Page 7-217 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Troubleshooting 1 Ensure that the___14 SM is running 13.3 or newer version of software. 2 If the SM has factory default config, confirm ICC is enabled on the AP, so the SM can connect to it. If the SM is connecting to the AP using a color code other than ICC, make sure the SM has Network Accessibility set to Public and DHCP State set to Enabled in the Configuration > IP page. 3 4 Make sure the golden config file does not turn off Network Accessibility or DHCP State. If it does, the SM will no longer request the config file when it is rebooted. 5 Check the event log of the SM to see the status of the configuration file import including any errors that prevented it from importing the file. 6 Capture the DHCP Offer packet from the DHCP server to the SM and verify that Option 66 has the expected URL. Page 7-218 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring Radio via config file Configuring Radio via config file The 450 Platform Family supports export and import of a configuration file from the AP or SM as a text file. The configuration file is in JSON format. To export or import the configuration file, the logged in user needs to be an ADMINISTRATOR and it must not be a read-only account. The exported configuration file contains the complete configuration including all the default values. To keep a backup of the current configuration, the file can be saved as-is and imported later. While importing a configuration file, it can be either imported the full configuration or a sparse configuration containing only the items that need to be changed. If a sparse configuration file is imported, only the items in the file will be imported. Other configuration will remain unchanged. There could also be used a special flag in the configuration file to tell the device to apply the configuration starting from factory default (Refer Special Headers for configuration file on page 7-219). Import and Export of config file The config file import and export is supported in Configuration > Unit Settings page. The procedure for importing and exporting config file is explained below. Figure 154 Configuration File upload and download page The DHCP server configuration procedure is as follows:
Procedure 25 DHCP server configuration 1 Login to the GUI and go to Configuration > Unit Settings. 2 Under Download Configuration File tab, click on the <mac>.cfg link, where <mac> is the MAC address of the device (for example, 01003ea2c274.cfg). 3 Save the file to the local disk. The below procedure is to be followed for Importing a config file Procedure 26 Import the configuration from the GUI 1 Login to the GUI and go to Configuration Unit Settings.

Then click on Reboot to reboot with the imported configuration The special headers for config file is explained below:
Procedure 27 Special Headers for configuration file 1 A configFileParameters section can be added to the header to control the behavior of the device when importing configuration. 2 The setToDefaults when set to true tell the device to reset to factory default configuration and apply the configuration in the file on top of that. So any attribute not in the configuration file will be set to its factory default value. By default, the configuration in the file is merged with the existing configuration on the device. The rebootIfRequired flag when set to true tell the device to reboot automatically if needed to apply the configuration change. By default, the device will not reboot automatically.

Minimum required software version of 14.2.1. Device software images can be downloaded from http://support.cambiumnetworks.com or from the On Premises cnMaestro server by navigating to Operate >Software Update->Manage Images. Select Device type to display the available images and then click the download icon as shown in Figure 155. Figure 155 Software Upgrade from cnMaestro IP connectivity between PMP Device and the cnMaestro server is established. Ensure Port 443 is open in the firewall as this port is used for secure communication between the PMP device and the cnMaestro server through web sockets. In addition, if the PMP device and cnMaestro server are on different subnets, proper routes should be established for communication. For PMP AP, a valid DNS setting is required so that the AP will be able to resolve the cnMaestro URL. DNS settings can be verified by performing a DNS lookup under Tools->DNS Test on the AP as shown in Figure 156.

Troubleshooting-Device-or/m-p/54503#U54503 Zero Touch on boarding of the PMP SMs when the corresponding AP is on boarded First a link should be established between the PMP AP and SM either by configuring manually or using the ICC. Once the AP and SM link is established, the AP must be onboarded to cnMaestro using one of several ways detailed above under the Onboarding section. Once the AP is onboarded to cnMaestro Cloud or On premises cnMaestroserver, the SMs under the AP will automatically onboard to cnMaestro using a Zero touch token that is communicated between the AP and SMs. This is applicable to existing SMs registered to the AP as well as new SMs registering to the AP for the first time. The SMs appear on the onboarding queue of cnMaestro and the operator must Approve the devices in order to manage them. The following operations for PMP Devices are available on cnMaestro Monitor the device details in the Dashboard page by navigating to the Monitor >Dashboard menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Monitor notifications related to the PMP AP/SM by navigating to the Monitor >Notifications Menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Monitor device statistics on the statistics page by navigating to the Monitor >Statistics menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree, then selecting the PMP AP or PMP SM in the Device type dropdown. Monitor Performance graphs related to the PMP AP/SM by navigating to the Monitor >Performance menu and selecting the required performance graph (i.e Throughput, SMs, Modulation) and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Troubleshoot the device on the Troubleshooting page by navigating to the Monitor >Tools menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Page 7-225 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring cnMaestroTM Connectivity Configure the devices by navigating to the Configure >Devices menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree and selecting the config template that needs to be pushed to the device. Configuration templates need to be created before the configuration can be pushed to the device. The template can be created by copying the existing configuration from the view device configuration link provided in the same page and then modifying the template as needed and then pushing to the same device or other similar devices. Template needs to be properly reviewed for IP Address and other critical parameters to avoid stranding SMs (resulting in a truck roll) by pushing an incorrect configuration. Configuration templates can be created by navigating to the Configure->Templates page and selecting the PMP device type while creating the template. Once on 14.2.1, PMP devices can be upgraded to future supported versions from cnMaestro by navigating to the Operate > Software Update page and selecting the PMP Sectors option from the device type drop down and the version to which the device needs to be upgraded. It is recommended to upgrade the AP first, then the SMs. PMP Device Inventory details can be reviewed by navigating to the Monitor >Inventory page. Page 7-226 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server in a PMP 450 Platform network is optional, but can provide added security, increase ease of network management and provide usage-based billing data. Understanding RADIUS for PMP 450 Platform Family PMP 450 Platform modules include support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol supporting Authentication and Accounting. RADIUS Functions RADIUS protocol support provides the following functions:
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. SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), CIR
(Committed Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP. User Authentication allows users to configure a separate User authentication server along with the SM authentication server. If firmware is upgraded while using this functionality and no User authentication servers are configured, then AP continues to use the SM authentication server for User authentication SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. Centralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Networks Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account. Framed IP allows operators to use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules (framed IP address). Tested RADIUS Servers The Canopy RADIUS implementation has been tested and is supported on FreeRADIUS, Version 2.1.8 Aradial RADIUS, Version 5.1.12 Microsoft RADIUS (Windows Server 2012 R2 version) Cisco ACS, Version 5.7.0.15 Page 7-227 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Aradial 5.3 has a bug that prevents remote device login, so doesnt support the user name and password management feature. Choosing Authentication Mode and Configuring for Authentication Servers - AP On the APs Configuration > Security tab, select the RADIUS AAA Authentication Mode. The following describes the other Authentication Mode options for reference, and then the RADIUS AAA option. Disabled: Requires no authentication. Any SM (except a SM that itself has been configured to require RADIUS authentication by enabling Enforce Authentication as described below) is allowed to register to the AP. Authentication Server: Authentication Server in this instance refers to Wireless Manager in BAM-
only mode. Authentication is required for a SM to register to the AP. Only SMs listed by MAC address in the Wireless Manager database is allowed to register to the AP. AP Pre-Shared Key: Canopy offers a pre-shared key authentication option. In this case, an identical key must be entered in the Authentication Key field on the APs Configuration > Security tab and in the Authentication Key field on each desired SMs Configuration > Security tab. RADIUS AAA: To support RADIUS authentication of SMs, on the APs Configuration > Security tab select RADIUS AAA. Only properly configured SMs with a valid certificate is allowed to register to the AP. When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. The default IP address is 0.0.0.0. The default Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret can be up to 32 ASCII characters (no diacritical marks or ligatures, for example). Page 7-228 Chapter 7: Configuration Table 182 Security tab attributes Configuring a RADIUS server Page 7-229 Chapter 7: Configuration Attribute Authentication Mode Authentication Server DNS Usage Authentication Server 1 Authentication Server 2 Authentication Server 3 Authentication Server 4 (BAM Only) Authentication Server 5 (BAM Only) Radius Port Authentication Key Configuring a RADIUS server Meaning Operators may use this field to select the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate. Authentication Server the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration. AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its SMs and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none of the SMs is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network and does not progress trying the other servers. The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the authentication server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. Enter the IP address or server name of the authentication server (RADIUS or WM) and the Shared Secret configured in the authentication server. When Authentication Mode RADIUS AAA is selected, the default value of Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret may consist of up to 32 ASCII characters. This field allows the operator to configure a custom port for RADIUS server communication. The default value is 1812. The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP Pre-Shared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Selection Key This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:

The encryption setting must match the encryption setting of the SMs. None provides no encryption on the air link. DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. You can use this field to suppress the display of data about this AP on the AP Evaluation tab of the Tools page in all SMs that register. Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet, or ftp access to the AP. You can permit access to the AP from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the AP from any IP address. You may populate as many as all three. If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted. The Radio supports secured and non-secured web access protocols. Select suitable web access from drop down list:
HTTP Only provides non-secured web access. The radio to be accessed via http://<IP of Radio>. HTTPS Only provides a secured web access. The radio to be accessed via https1://<IP of Radio>. HTTP and HTTPS If enabled, the radio can be accessed via both http and https. This option allows to configure SNMP agent communication version. It can be selected from drop down list :

It is secured communication protocol. SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 It enables both the protocols. This option allows to Enable and Disable Telnet access to the Radio. This option allows to Enable and Disable FTP access to the Radio. This option allows to Enable and Disable TFTP access to the Radio. Page 7-232 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server SM Authentication Mode Require RADIUS or Follow AP If it is desired that a SM will only authenticate to an AP that is using RADIUS, on the SMs Configuration Security tab set Enforce Authentication to AAA. With this enabled, SM does not register to an AP that has any Authentication Mode other than RADIUS AAA selected. If it is desired that a SM use the authentication method configured on the AP it is registering to, set Enforce Authentication to Disabled. With Enforce Authentication disabled, a SM will attempt to register using whichever Authentication Mode is configured on the AP it is attempting to register to. Note Having SMs to use RADIUS by enabling Enforce Authentication avoids the security issue of SMs possibly registering to rogue APs, which have authentication disabled. Table 183 SM Security tab attributes Page 7-233 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Attribute Authentication Key Select Key Enforce Authentication Phase 1 Phase 2 Meaning The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP PreShared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication The SM may enforce authentication types of AAA and AP Pre-sharedKey. The SM will not finish the registration process if the AP is not using the configured authentication method (and the SM locks out the AP for 15 minutes). Enforce Authentication default setting is Disable. The protocols supported for the Phase 1 (Outside Identity) phase of authentication are EAPTTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Tunneled Transport Layer Security) or MSCHAPv2 (Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2). Select the desired Phase 2 (Inside Identity) authentication protocol from the Phase 2 options of PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), and MSCHAP (Microsofts version of CHAP, version 2 is used). The protocol must be consistent with the authentication protocol configured on the RADIUS server. Page 7-234 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Identity/Realm Username Password Confirm Password Upload Certificate File If Realms are being used, select Enable Realm and configure an outer identity in the Identity field and a Realm in the Realm field. These must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity and Realm configured in the RADIUS server. The default Identity is anonymous.

Page 7-237 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Handling Certificates Managing SM Certificates via the SM GUI The default public Canopy certificates are loaded into SMs upon factory software installation. The default certificates are not secure and are intended for use during lab and field trials as part of gaining experience with the RADIUS functionalities or as an option during debug. For secure operation, an operator will want to create or procure their own certificates. Resetting a SM to its factory defaults will remove the current certificates and restore the default certificates. Up to two certificates can be resident on a SM. An installed certificate can be deleted by clicking the Delete button in the certificates description block on the Configuration > Security tab. To restore the 2 default certificates, click the Use Default Certificates button in the RADIUS Certificate Settings parameter block and reboot the radio. To upload a certificate manually to a SM, first load it in a known place on your PC or network drive, then click on a Delete button on one of the Certificate description blocks to delete a certificate to provide space for your certificate. Click on Choose File, browse to the location of the certificate, and click the Import Certificate button, and then reboot the radio to use the new certificate. When a certificate is in use, after the SM successfully registers to an AP, an indication of In Use will appear in the description block of the certificate being used. The public certificates installed on the SMs are used with the private certificate on the RADIUS server to provide a public/private key encryption system. Note Root certificates of more than one level (Example - a certificate from someone who received their CA from Verisign) fails. Certificates must be either root or self-signed. Page 7-238 Chapter 7: Configuration Figure 159 SM Certificate Management Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring RADIUS servers for SM authentication Your RADIUS server must be configured to use the following:
EAPTTLS or MSCHAPv2 as the Phase 1/Outer Identity protocol. If Enable Realm is selected on the SMs Configuration > Security tab, then the same Realm appears there (or access to it). The same Phase 2 (Inner Identity) protocol as configured on the SMs Configuration > Security tab under Phase 2 options. The username and password for each SM configured on each SMs Configuration > Security tab. An IP address and NAS shared secret that is the same as the IP address and Shared Secret configured on the APs Configuration > Security tab for that RADIUS server. Page 7-239 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server A server private certificate, server key, and CA certificate that complement the public certificates distributed to the SMs, as well as the Canopy dictionary file that defines Vendor Specific Attributes
(VSAa). Default certificate files and the dictionary file are available from the software site:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 after entering your name, email address, and either Customer Contract Number or the MAC address of a module covered under the 12 month warranty. Optionally, operators may configure the RADIUS server response messages (Accept or Reject) so that the user has information as to why they have been rejected. The AP displays the RADIUS Authentication Reply message strings in the Session Status list as part of each SMs information. The SM will show this string (listed as Authentication Response on the SM GUI) on the main Status page in the Subscriber Module Stats section. Note Aradial AAA servers only support operator-configurable Authentication Accept responses, not Authentication Reject responses. Page 7-240 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Assigning SM management IP addressing via RADIUS Operators may use a RADIUS AAA server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules (framed IP address). SMs now interpret attributes Framed-IP-Address, Framed-IP-Netmask, and Cambium-
Canopy-Gateway from RADIUS. The RADIUS dictionary file has been updated to include the Cambium-
Canopy-Gateway attribute and is available on the Cambium Software Support website. In order for these attributes to be assigned and used by the SM, the following must be true:
The system is configured for AAA authentication The SM is not configured for DHCP on its management interface. If DHCP is enabled and these attributes are configured in the RADIUS server, the attributes is ignored by the SM. The SM management interface must be configured to be publically accessible. If the SM is configured to have local accessibility, the management interface will still be assigned the framed addressing, and the SM iscome publicly accessible via the assigned framed IP addressing. When using these attributes, for the addressing to be implemented by the SM operators must configure Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS. If Framed-IP-Address is not configured but Framed-IP-
Netmask and/or Cambium-Canopy-Gateway is configured, the attributes is ignored. In the case where only the Framed-IP-Address is configured, Framed-IP-Netmask defaults to 255.255.0.0 (NAT disabled) / 255.255.255.0 (NAT enabled) and Cambium-Canopy-Gateway defaults to 0.0.0.0. Configuring RADIUS server for SM configuration Canopy Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) along with VSA numbers and other details are listed in Table 184. The associated SM GUI page, tab and parameter are listed to aid cross-referencing and understanding of the VSAs. A RADIUS dictionary file is available from the software site:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 The RADIUS dictionary file defines the VSAs and their values and is usually imported into the RADIUS server as part of server and database setup. Page 7-241 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Beginning with System Release 12.0.2, two RADIUS dictionary files are available on the Cambium website RADIUS Dictionary file Cambium and RADIUS Dictionary file Motorola. In addition to a renaming of attributes, the Cambium-branded dictionary file contains two new VSAs for controlling uplink and downlink Maximum Burst Data Rate (these VSAs are listed below in Table 184). If you are transitioning from the Motorola-branded dictionary file to the Cambium-branded dictionary file, ensure that all RADIUS profiles containing Motorola-Canopy attribute references are updated to include Cambium-Canopy attribute references (for all applicable VSAs listed in Table 184). Also, ensure that all RADIUS configuration files reference the new dictionary file (as an alternative, operators may rename the Cambium-branded dictionary file to the filename currently in use by the RADIUS server). Once the profiles are updated and the new Cambium-branded dictionary file is installed on the RADIUS server, restart the RADIUS server to ensure that the new VSAs and attribute names are enabled.

RADIUS Device Data Accounting PMP 450 Platform systems include support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. The attributes included in the RADIUS accounting messages are shown in the table below. Table 187 Device data accounting RADIUS attributes Sender Message Attribute AP Acct-Status-Type Value 1 - Start Description Page 7-251 Configuring a RADIUS server Description This message is sent every time a SM registers with an AP, and after the SM stats are cleared.

Page 7-253 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server The data accounting configuration is located on the APs Accounts > User Authentication and Access Tracking GUI menu, and the APs Authentication Mode must be set to Radius AAA for the menu to appear. The accounting may be configured via the AP GUI as shown in the figures below. By default accounting messages are not sent and the operator has the choice of configuring to send only Device Access accounting messages (when a user logs in or out of the radio), only Data Usage messages, or both. When Data Accounting is enabled, the operator must specify the interval of when the data accounting messages are sent (0 disabled, or in the range of 30-10080 minutes). The default interval is 30 minutes. Figure 161 RADIUS accounting messages configuration The data accounting message data is based on the SM statistics that the AP maintains, and these statistics may be cleared on the AP by an operator. If an operator clears these messages and data accounting is enabled, an accounting stop message is sent followed by an accounting start message to notify the AAA of the change. If an operator clears the VC statistics on the device through the management GUI, a RADIUS stop message and data start message is issued for each device affected. The start and stop messages will only be sent once every 5 minutes, so if an operator clears these statistics multiple times within 5 minutes, only one set of data stop/start messages is sent. This may result in inaccurate data accumulation results. RADIUS Device Re-authentication PMP 450 Platform systems include support for periodic SM re-authentication in a network without requiring the SM to re-register (and drop the session). The re-authentication may be configured to occur in the range of every 30 minutes to weekly. Figure 162 Device re-authentication configuration The re-authentication interval is only configurable on the AP. When this feature is enabled, each SM that enters the network will re-authenticate each the interval time has expired without dropping the session. The response that the SM receives from the AAA server upon re-authentication is one of the following:
Success: The SM continues normal operation Reject: The SM de-registers and will attempt network entry again after 1 minute and then if rejected will attempt re-entry every 15 minutes Page 7-254 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Timeout or other error: The SM remains in session and attempt 5 times to re-authenticate with the RADIUS-REQUEST message. If these attempts fail, then the SM will go out of session and proceed to re-authenticate after 5 minutes, then every 15 minutes. Although re-authentication is an independent feature, it was designed to work alongside with the RADIUS data usage accounting messages. If a user is over their data usage limit the network operator can reject the user from staying in the network. Operators may configure the RADIUS Reply-Message attribute with an applicable message (i.e. Data Usage Limit Reached) that is sent to the subscriber module and displayed on the general page. Page 7-255 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server RADIUS Change of Authorization and Disconnect Message Prior to this feature, SM will get configuration parameters from a RADIUS server during authentication process. This feature allows an administrator to control configuration parameters in the SM while SM is in session. The configuration changes in SM are done using RADIUS Change of Authorization method
(RFC 3576) on the existing RADIUS authentication framework for AP and SM. A typical use case could be changing the QOS parameters after a certain amount of bandwidth usage by a SM. Figure 163 RADIUS CoA configuration for AP The RADIUS CoA feature enables initiating a bi-directional communication from the RADIUS server(s) to the AP and SM. The AP listens on UDP port 3799 and accepts CoA requests from the configured RADIUS servers. This CoA request should contain SM MAC address in User-Name attribute as identifier and all other attributes which control the SM config parameters. For security reasons, a timestamp also needs to be added as Event-Timestamp attribute. Hence the time should also be synchronized between the RADIUS server(s) and the AP to fit within a window of 300 seconds. Once the configuration changes are applied on the SM, CoA-ACK message is sent back to RADIUS server. If the validation fails, the AP sends a CoA-NACK response to the RADIUS server with proper error code. A Disconnect-Message is sent by the RADIUS server to NAS in order to terminate a user session on a NAS and discard all associated session context. It is used when the authentication AAA server wants to disconnect the user after the session has been accepted by the RADIUS. In response of Disconnect-Request from RADIUS server, the NAS sends a Disconnect-ACK if all associated session context is discarded, or a Disconnect-NACK, if the NAS is unable to disconnect the session. Note The RADIUS CoA feature will only enabled if Authentication mode is set to RADIUS AAA. Page 7-256 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Microsoft RADIUS support This feature allows to configure Microsoft RADIUS (Network Policy and Access Services a.k.a NPS) as Authentication server for SM and User authentication. For SM Authentication, SM will user PEAP-MSCHAPv2 since NPS doesnt support TTLS protocol. For User Authentication, the Canopy software will use EAP-MD5 but the user has to do certain configuration in order to enable EAP-MD5 on NPS. Note All this configuration has been tested on Windows Server 2012 R2 version. This feature is not supported on hardware board type P9 or lower platforms. SM Authentication Configuration There are no new configuration on AP. However SM has to be configured for PEAP authentication protocol. 1. 2. Go to Configuration > Security page Select eappeap for Phase 1 attribute under tab AAA Authentication Settings. Figure 164 EAPPEAP settings The Phase 2 will change automatically to MSCHAPv2 on select of Phase 1 attribute as EAP-PEAP. Other parameters of Phase 2 protocols like PAP/CHAP will be disabled. Windows Server Configuration Import Certificate The SM certificate has to be imported to Windows Server for certificate authentication. 1. Copy the certificate which is configured in SM under Configuration > Security -> Certificate1 to Windows Server machine. Right click and select Install Certificate. This will install the certificate and its ready for use. This certificate will be used while configuring PEAP-MSCHAPv2 in NPS. 2.

The AP/BHM and SM/BHS perform spectrum analysis together in the Sector Spectrum Analyzer tool. Caution On start of the Spectrum Analyzer on a module, it enters a scan mode and drops any RF connection it may have had. When choosing Start Timed Spectrum Analysis, the scan is run for the amount of time specified in the Duration configuration parameter. When choosing Start Continuous Spectrum Analysis, the scan is run continuously for 24 hours, or until stopped manually (using the Stop Spectrum Analysis button). Any module can be used 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. Note 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. Mapping RF Neighbor Frequencies The neighbor frequencies can be analyzed using Spectrum Analyzer tool. Following modules allow user to:
Use a BHS or BHM for PTP and SM or AP for PMP as a Spectrum Analyzer. View a graphical display that shows power level in RSSI and dBm at 5 MHz increments throughout the frequency band range, regardless of limited selections in the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List parameter of the SM/BHS. Select an AP/BHM channel that minimizes interference from other RF equipment. Caution The following procedure causes the SM/BHS to drop any active RF link. If a link is dropped when the spectrum analysis begins, the link can be re-established when either a 15 minute interval has elapsed or the spectrum analyzer feature is disabled. Temporarily deploy a SM/BHS for each frequency band range that need to monitor and access the Spectrum Analyzer tab in the Tools web page of the module. Page 8-2 Chapter 8: Tools Using Spectrum Analyzer tool Using the Remote Spectrum Analyzer tool Using Spectrum Analyzer tool Spectrum Analyzer tool Analyzing the spectrum To use the built-in spectrum analyzer functionality of the AP/SM/BH, proceed as follows:

Page 8-11 Chapter 8: Tools Table 193 Remote Spectrum Analyzer attributes - AP Using Spectrum Analyzer tool Attribute Registered SM Count Maximum Count of Registered SMs Current Subscriber Module Duration Scanning Bandwidth Meaning This field displays the number of SMs that were registered to the AP before the SA was started. This helps the user know all the SMs re-registered after performing a SA. This field displays the largest number of SMs that have been simultaneously registered in the AP since it was last rebooted. This count can provide some insight into sector history and provide comparison between current and maximum SM counts at a glance. The SM with which the Link Capacity Test is run. This field allows operators to configure a specified time for which the spectrum is scanned. If the entire spectrum is scanned prior to the end of the configured duration, the analyzer will restart at the beginning of the spectrum. This parameter defines the size of the channel scanned when running the analyzer.

The Tool provides color coded readings to facilitate in judging link quality. Note To get best performance of the link, the user has to ensure the maximum Receive Power Level during alignment by pointing correctly. The proper alignment is important to prevent interference in other cells. The achieving Receive Power Level green (>- 70 dBm) is not sufficient for the link. Figure 180 Alignment Tool tab of SM Receive Power Level > -70 dBm Figure 181 Alignment Tool tab of SM Receive Power Level between -70 to -80 dBm Figure 182 Alignment Tool tab of SM Receive Power Level < -80 dBm Page 8-14 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Alignment Tool Aiming page and Diagnostic LED SM/BHS The SMs/BHSs Alignment Tool (located in GUI Tools -> Aiming) may be used to configure the SMs/BHSs LED panel to indicate received signal strength and to display decoded beacon information/power levels. The SM/BHS LEDs provide different status based on the mode of the SM/BHS. A SM/BHS in operating mode will register and pass traffic normally. A SM/BHS in aiming mode will not register or pass traffic, but will display (via LED panel) the strength of received radio signals (based on radio channel selected via Tools ->Aiming). See SM/BHS LEDs on page 2-17. Note In order for accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. Refer Table 23 SM/BHS LED descriptions on page 2-18 for SM/BHS LED details. Aiming page of SM The Aiming page is similar to Spectrum Analyzer where it scans the spectrum but it does not establish any session with any APs. It has two modes Single Frequency Only and Normal Frequency Scan List. The Aiming page of SM is explained in Table 195. Page 8-15 Chapter 8: Tools Table 195 Aiming page attributes SM Using the Alignment Tool Attribute Aiming Mode Single Frequency Scan Radio Frequency Only Mode Aiming Results Meaning Single Frequency Only: scans only selected single frequency. Normal Frequency Scan List: scans: scans all frequency of scan list. Select a particular frequency from drop down menu for scanning. Enabled: the radio is configured to aiming or alignment mode, wherein the LED panel displays an indication of receive power level. See Table 23 SM/BHS LED descriptions on page 2-18. Disabled: the radio is configured to operating mode, wherein the SM registers and passes traffic normally. The Aiming Results are displayed in two sections Current entry and Other entries. Frequency: this field indicates the frequency of the AP which is transmitting the beacon information. Page 8-16 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Alignment Tool Power: This field indicates the current receive power level (vertical channel) for the frequency configured in parameter Radio Frequency. Users: This field indicates the number of SMs currently registered to the AP which is transmitting the beacon information. ESN: This field indicates the MAC, or hardware address of the AP/BHM which is transmitting the beacon information. Color Code: This field displays a value from 0 to 254 indicating the APs configured color code. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Multipoint or Backhaul: this field indicates type of configuration - point-
Multipoint(PMP) or Backhaul (PTP). Page 8-17 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Alignment Tool Aiming page of BHS The Alignment page of BHS is explained in Table 196.

Meaning Page 8-18 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Alignment Tool Alignment Tone For coarse alignment of the SM/BHS, use the Alignment Tool located at Tools -> Alignment Tool. Optionally, connect a headset alignment tone kit to the AUX/SYNC port of the SM/BHS and listen to the alignment tone, which indicates greater SM/BHS receive signal power by pitch. By adjusting the SMs/BHSs position until the highest frequency pitch is obtained operators and installers can be confident that the SM/BHS is properly positioned.

Page 8-20 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Link Capacity Test tool Using the Link Capacity Test tool The Link Capacity Test tab allows you to measure the throughput and efficiency of the RF link between two modules. Many factors, including packet length, affect throughput. The Link Capacity Test tool has following modes:
Link Test with Multiple VCs: Tests radio-to-radio communication across selected or all registered VCs, but does not bridge traffic (PMP 450m Series AP only). Link Test without Bridging: Tests radio-to-radio communication, but does not bridge traffic. Link Test with Bridging: Bridges traffic to simulated Ethernet ports, providing a status of the bridged link. Link Test with Bridging and MIR: Bridges the traffic during test and also adheres to any MIR
(Maximum Information Rate) settings for the link. Extrapolated Link Test: Estimates the link capacity by sending few packets and measuring link quality. The Link Capacity Test tab contains the settable parameter Packet Length with a range of 64 to 1714 bytes. This allows you to compare throughput levels that result from various packet sizes. The Current Results Status also displayed date and time of last performed Link Capacity Test. If there is any change in time zone, the date and time will be adjusted accordingly. Note The Extrapolated Link Test can be run by Read-Only login also. Performing Link Test The link test is a tool that allows the user to test the performance of the RF link. Packets are added to one or more queues in the AP in order to fill the frame. Throughput and efficiency are then calculated during the test. The 450 and 450i APs offer link test options to one SM at a time. The 450m AP offers the option of a link test to multiple VCs at the same time. This allows the user to test throughput in MU-MIMO mode, in which multiple SMs are served at the same time. This new link test can be found under Tools > Link Capacity Test Page 8-21 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Link Capacity Test tool Link Test with Multiple VCs Note The Link Test with Multiple VCs Link Capacity Test is supported for PMP 450m Series AP only.

Figure 187 Link Test without Bridging (1714-byte packet length) Page 8-25 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Link Capacity Test tool Performing Extrapolated Link Test The Extrapolated Link Test estimates the link capacity by sending few packets and measuring link quality. Once the test is initiated, the radio starts session at the lower modulation, 1X, as traffic is passed successfully across the link, the radio decides to try the next modulation, 2X. This process repeats until it find best throughput to estimate capacity of link. Note It is recommended to run Extrapolated Link Test where the session must have been up and have traffic present on it in order to get accurate test results. This is essential for the radio to modulate up to get an accurate measurement. Running the Extrapolated test just after establishing session will not provide accurate results. The procedure for performing Extrapolated Link Test is as follows:

Page 8-38 Chapter 8: Tools Using the OFDM Frame Calculator tool Using the OFDM Frame Calculator tool The first step to avoid interference in wireless systems is to set all APs/BHMs to receive timing from a synchronization source (Cluster Management Module, or Universal Global Positioning System). This ensures that the modules are in sync and start transmitting at the same time each frame. The second step to avoid interference is to configure parameters on all APs/BHMs 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/BHM attempting to receive the signal from a distant SM/BHS while a nearby AP transmits, which could overpower that signal. The following parameters on the AP determine the transmit/receive ratio:
Max Range Frame Period Downlink Data percentage
(reserved) Contention Slots If OFDM (PMP 430, PMP 450, PTP 230) and FSK (PMP 1x0) APs/BHMs of the same frequency band are in proximity, or if APs/BHMs set to different parameters (differing in their Max Range values, for example), then operator must use the Frame Calculator to identify compatible settings. The frame calculator is available on the Frame Calculator tab of the Tools web page. To use the Frame Calculator, type various configurable parameter values into the calculator for each proximal AP and then record the resulting AP/BHM Receive Start value. Next vary the Downlink Data percentage in each calculation and iterate until the calculated AP/BHM Receive Start for all collocated AP/BHMs where the transmit end does not come before the receive start. The calculator does not use values in the module or populate its parameters. It is merely a convenience application that runs on a module. For this reason, you can use any FSK module (AP, SM, BHM, BHS) to perform FSK frame calculations for setting the parameters on an FSK AP and any OFDM module (AP, SM, BHM, BHS) to perform OFDM frame calculations for setting the parameters on an OFDM AP/BHM. For more information on PMP/PTP 450 Platform co-location, see http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/solution-papers The co-location is also supported for 900 MHz PMP 450i APs (OFDM) and PMP 100 APs (FSK). Please refer Co-location of PMP 450 and PMP 100 systems in the 900 MHz band and migration recommendations document for details. Caution APs/BHMs that have slightly mismatched transmit-to-receive ratios and low levels of data traffic may see little effect on throughput. A system that was not tuned for co-location may work fine at low traffic levels, but encounter problems at higher traffic levels. The conservative practice is to tune for co-location before traffic ultimately increases. This prevents problems that occur as sectors are built.

This filed displays the time in ns, that SM/BHS is away from the AP/BHM. This field displays an approximate distance in miles (feet) that the SM/BHS is away from the AP/BHM. To use the Frame Calculator to ensure that all APs or BHMs are configured to transmit and receive at the same time, follow the procedure below:
Procedure 34 Using the Frame Calculator 1 Populate the OFDM Frame Calculator parameters with appropriate values as described above. Scroll down the tab to the Calculated Frame Results section 2 Click the Calculate button. 3 4 Record the value of the AP Receive Start field 5 Enter a parameter set from another AP in the system for example, an AP in the same cluster that has a higher Max Range value configured. 6 Click the Calculate button. 7 8 Scroll down the tab to the Calculated Frame Results section If the recorded values of the AP Receive Start fields are within 150 bit times of each other, skip to step 10. If the recorded values of the AP Receive Start fields are not within 150 bit times of each other, modify the Downlink Data parameter until the calculated results for AP Receive Start are within 300 bit time of each other, if possible, 150 bit time. 10 Access the Radio tab in the Configuration web page of each AP in the cluster and change its Downlink Data parameter (percentage) to the last value that was used in the Frame Calculator. Page 8-42 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Subscriber Configuration tool Using the Subscriber Configuration tool The Subscriber Configuration page in the Tools page of the AP displays:
The current values whose control may be subject to the setting in the Configuration Source parameter. An indicator of the source for each value. This page may be referenced for information on how the link is behaving based on where the SM is retrieving certain QoS and VLAN parameters. Figure 189 SM Configuration page of AP The AP displays one of the following for the configuration source:
(SM) QoS/VLAN parameters are derived from the SMs settings
(APCAP) QoS/VLAN parameters are derived from the APs settings, including any keyed capping
(for radios capped at 4 Mbps, 10 Mbps, or 20 Mbps)
(D) QoS/VLAN parameters are retrieved from the device, due to failed retrieval from the AAA or WM server.
(AAA) QoS/VLAN parameters are retrieved from the RADIUS server
(BAM) QoS/VLAN parameters are retrieved from a WM BAM server Page 8-43 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Link Status tool Using the Link Status tool The Link Status Tool displays information about the most-recent Link Test initiated on the SM or BHS. Link Tests initiated from the AP or BHM are not included in the Link Status table. This table is useful for monitoring link test results for all SMs or BHS in the system. The Link Status table is color coded to display health of link between AP/BHM and SM/BHS. The current Modulation Level Uplink/Downlink is chosen to determine link health and color coded accordingly. Uplink/Downlink Rate Column will be color coded using current Rate as per the table below:
Table 204 Color code versus uplink/downlink rate column Actual Rate 1x 2x 3x 4x ORANGE GREEN BLUE ORANGE GREEN BLUE 6x NA NA 8x NA NA RED NA ORANGE GREEN BLUE SISO MIMO-A MIMO B RED RED NA Link Status AP/BHM The current Uplink Rate (both low and high VC) for each SM or BHS in Session in now available on AP or BHM Link Status Page. The Link Status tool results include values for the following fields for AP/BHM. Page 8-44 Chapter 8: Tools Table 205 Link Status page attributes AP/BHM Using the Link Status tool Attribute Subscriber Meaning This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID), MAC address and Site Name of the SM. As each SM registers to the AP, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM. If a SM loses registration with the AP and then regains registration, the SM will retain the same LUID. Note The LUID associated is lost when a power cycle of the AP occurs. Both the LUID and the MAC are hot links to open the interface to the SM. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Site Name indicates the name of the SM. You can assign or change this name on the Configuration web page of the SM. This information is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server. Uplink Statistics -
Power Level: Signal Strength Ratio This field represents the combined received power level at the AP/BHM as well as the ratio of horizontal path signal strength to vertical path signal strength. Uplink Statistics Fragments Modulation This field represents the percentage of fragments received at each modulation state, per path (polarization). Page 8-45 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Link Status tool Uplink Statistics Signal to Noise Ratio This field represents the signal to noise ratio for the uplink (displayed when parameter Signal to Noise Ratio Calculation during Link Test is enabled) expressed for both the horizontal and vertical channels. Uplink Statistics Link Test Efficiency This field displays the efficiency of the radio link, expressed as a percentage, for the radio uplink. Downlink Statistics Beacon % Received Curr/Min/Max/Avg This field displays a count of beacons received by the SM in percentage. This value must be between 99-100%. If it is lower than 99%, it indicates a problematic link. This statistic is updated every 16 seconds. Downlink Statistics Power Level: Signal Strength Ratio Downlink Statistics Signal to Noise Ratio Downlink Statistics Link Test Efficiency Downlink Statistics SU-MIMO Rate Downlink Statistics MU-MIMO Rate BER Results Reg Requests This field represents the received power level at the SM/BHS as well as the ratio of horizontal path signal strength to vertical path signal strength at the SM/BHS. This field represents the signal to noise ratio for the downlink (displayed when parameter Signal to Noise Ratio Calculation during Link Test is enabled) expressed for both the horizontal and vertical channels. This field displays the efficiency of the radio link, expressed as a percentage, for the radio downlink. The SU-MIMO rate applies to all AP platforms. For 450m, this field indicates the rate being used for symbols where this particular VC is not being MU-MIMO grouped with other SMs. For 450 and 450i platforms, there is no grouping and this field indicates the modulation rate for all symbols. The MU-MIMO rate applies only to the 450m AP. This field indicates the modulation rate used for symbols where this particular low priority VC is MU-
MIMO scheduled by grouping it in the same slot with other low priority VCs. This field displays the over-the-air Bit Error Rates for each downlink. (The ARQ [Automatic Resend 8-46equest] ensures that the transport BER [the BER seen end-to-end through a network] is essentially zero.) The level of acceptable over-the-air BER varies, based on operating requirements, but a reasonable value for a good link is a BER of 1e-4 (1 x 10-4) or better, approximately a packet resend rate of 5%. BER is generated using unused bits in the downlink. During periods of peak load, BER data is not updated as often, because the system puts priority on transport rather than on BER calculation. A Reg Requests count is the number of times the SM/BHS registered after the AP/BHM determined that the link had been down. If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs/BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a spectrum scan). Page 8-46 Chapter 8: Tools ReReg Requests Using the Link Status tool A ReReg Requests count is the number of times the AP/BHM received a SM/BHS registration request while the AP/BHM considered the link to be still up (and therefore did not expect registration requests). If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs/BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a spectrum scan). Link Status SM/BHS The Link Status tool of SM/BHS displays Downlink Status and Uplink Status information. Table 206 Link Status page attributes SM/BHS Attribute Downlink Status Receive Power Signal Strength Ratio Signal to Noise Ratio Meaning This field lists the current combined receive power level, in dBm. This field displays the difference of the Vertical path received signal power to the Horizontal path received signal power for downlink. This field lists the current signal-to-noise level, an indication of the separation of the received power level vs. noise floor for downlink. Page 8-47 Chapter 8: Tools Beacons Using the Link Status tool Displays a count of beacons received by the SM in percentage. This value must be typically between 99-100%. If lower than 99%, it indicates a problematic link. This statistic is updated every 16 seconds. Received Fragments Modulation This field represents the percentage of fragments received at each modulation state, per path (polarization) Latest Remote Link Test Efficiency Percentage BER Total Avg Results Beacons Received Last 15 minutes Uplink Status Transmit Power Max Transmit Power Power Level Signal Strength Ratio Signal to Noise Ratio Latest Remote Link Test Efficiency Percentage Session Status Spatial Frequency Run Link Test This field is not applicable. This field displays the over-the-air average Bit Error Rates (BER) for downlink. The beacon count on the SM can be used to estimate the interference in the channel. The min/avg/max beacon percentage displayed based on this value for the last 15 mins. This field displays the current combined transmit power level, in dBm. This field displays the maximum transmit power of SM. This field indicates the combined power level at which the SM is set to transmit, based on the Country Code and Antenna Gain settings. This field displays the difference of the Vertical path received signal power to the Horizontal path received signal power for uplink. This field lists the current signal-to-noise level, an indication of the separation of the received power level vs. noise floor for uplink. This field is not applicable. This field displays the current state, Virtual channel, high-priority/ low priority channel rate adaptation and MIMO-A/MIMO-B/SISO status of SM. This filed displays the spatial frequency value of the VC or SM. See Exploratory Test section of Performing Extrapolated Link Test on page 8-
26 Page 8-48 Chapter 8: Tools Using BER Results tool Using BER Results tool Radio BER data represents bit errors at the RF link level. Due to CRC checks on fragments and packets and ARQ (Automatic Repeat 8-49equest), the BER of customer data is essentially zero. Radio BER gives one indication of link quality. Other important indications to consider includes the received power level, signal to noise ratio and link tests. BER is only instrumented on the downlink and is displayed on the BER Results tab of the Tools page in any SM. Each time the tab is clicked, the current results are read and counters are reset to zero. The BER Results tab can be helpful in troubleshooting poor link performance. The link is acceptable if the value of this field is less than 104. If the BER is greater than 104, re-evaluate the installation of both modules in the link. The BER test signal is broadcast by the AP/BHM (and compared to the expected test signal by the SM/BHS) only when capacity in the sector allows it. This signal is the lowest priority for AP/BHM transmissions. Figure 190 BER Results tab of the SM Page 8-49 Chapter 8: Tools Using the Sessions tool Using the Sessions tool The PMP 450 Platform Family AP has a tab Sessions under the Tools category which allows operators to drop one or all selected SM sessions and force a SM re-registration. This operation is useful to force QoS changes for SMs without losing AP logs or statistics. This operation may take 5 minutes to regain all SM registrations.

This field lists the current signal-to-noise level, an indication of the separation of the received power level vs. noise floor. Page 9-16 Chapter 9: Operation System information Beacons Air Delay Data Slots Down Data Slots Up Regional Code Site Name Displays a count of beacons received by the BHM in percentage. This value must be typically between 99-100%. If lower than 99%, it indicates a problematic link. This statistic is updated every 16 seconds. This field displays the distance in feet between this BHS and the BHM. To derive the distance in meters, multiply the value of this parameter by 0.3048. Distances reported as less than 200 feet (61 meters) are unreliable. This field lists the number of slots used for downlink data transmission. This field lists the number of slots used for uplink data transmission. A parameter that offers multiple fixed selections, each of which automatically implements frequency band range restrictions for the selected region. Units shipped to regions other than the United States must be configured with the corresponding Country Code to comply with local regulatory requirements. This field indicates the name of the physical module. Assign or change this name in the Configuration > SNMP page. This information is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server. Page 9-17 Chapter 9: Operation System information General Status page of BHS The BHSs General Status page is explained in Table 211. Table 211 General Status page attributes - BHS Page 9-18 Chapter 9: Operation System information Attribute Device Type Board Type Software Version Board MSN FPGA Version Uptime System Time Ethernet Interface Antenna Type Temperature Session Status Session Uptime Registered Backhaul Channel Frequency Receive Power Signal Strength Ratio Transmit Power Signal to Noise Ratio Beacons Air Delay Data Slots Down Data Slots Up Regional Code Site Name Site Contact Site Location Time Updated and Location Code Meaning See Table 211 on page 9-18 See Table 211 on page 9-18 Page 9-19 Chapter 9: Operation System information Viewing Session Status The Session Status page in the Home page provides information about each SM or BHS that has registered to the AP or BHM. This information is useful for managing and troubleshooting a system. This page also includes the current active values on each SM or BHS for MIR and VLAN, as well as the source of these values, representing the SM/BHS itself, Authentication Server, or the Authentication Server and SM/BHS. Note In order for accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. The Session Status List has four tab: Device, Session, Power and Configuration. The SessionStatus.xml hyper link allows user to export session status page from web management interface of AP or BHM. The session status page will be exported in xml file. Device tab The Device tab provides information on the Subscribers LUID and MAC, Hardware, Software, FPGA versions and the state of the SM/BHS (Registered and/or encrypted). Table 212 Device tab attributes Attribute Subscriber Meaning This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID), MAC address and Site Name of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. If a SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHS and then regains registration, the SM/BHS will retain the same LUID. Page 9-20 Chapter 9: Operation System information Note The LUID associated is lost when a power cycle of the AP/BHM occurs. Both the LUID and the MAC are hot links to open the interface to the SM/BHS. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Site Name indicates the name of the SM/BHS. Change this name on the Configuration web page of the SM/BHS. This information is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server. This field displays the SMs or BHS hardware type. This field displays the software release that operates on the SM/BHS, the release date and time of the software. This field displays the version of FPGA that runs on the SM/BHS This field displays the current status of the SM/BHS as either IN SESSION to indicate that the SM/BHS is currently registered to the AP/BHM. IDLE to indicate that the SM/BHS was registered to the AP/BHM at one time, but now is not. Hardware Software Version FPGA Version State This field also indicates whether the encryption scheme in the module is enabled. Session tab The Session tab provides information on the SMs or BHS Session Count, Reg Count, Re-Reg Count, Uptime, Air delay, PPPoE State and Timeouts. Table 213 Session tab attributes Attribute Subscriber Meaning See Table 212 on page 9-20. Page 9-21 Chapter 9: Operation Count Reg Count Re-Reg Count Uptime CC Priority AirDelay System information This field displays how many sessions the SM/BHS has had with the AP/BHM. Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs or BHS, then this may indicate a link problem or an interference problem. When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is not currently in session database and it is valid Registration Request, then the request increments the value of this field. In ideal situation, the Reg Count indicates total number of connected SMs to an AP. Note The user can clear Reg Count by dropping all current sessions of SM (or BHS) from Configuration > Tools > Sessions menu. When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is currently in session database, then the request increments the value of this field. Typically, a Re-Reg is the case where both:
SM/BHS attempts to reregister for having lost communication with the AP/BHM. AP/BHM has not yet observed the link to the SM/BHS as being down. It is possible for a small period of time if there is no downlink traffic and AP/BHM still assumes the session is up, but the SM/BHS, loses session and quickly re-connects before the AP/BHM knew the session had dropped. This is how a re-registration happens. If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs or BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a spectrum scan). Once a SM/BHS successfully registers to an AP/BHM, this timer is started. If a session drops or is interrupted, this timer is reactivated once re-registration is complete. The field displays Color Code Priority (ICC, Primary, Secondary or Tertiary) of all connected SM. This field displays the distance of the SM/BHS from the AP/BHM in meters, nanoseconds and bits. At close distances, the value in this field is unreliable. Page 9-22 Chapter 9: Operation PPPoE state Timeout System information This field displays the current PPPoE state (whether configured) of the SM/BHS. This field displays the timeout in seconds for management sessions via HTTP, ftp access to the SM/BHS. 0 indicates that no limit is imposed. Power tab Table 214 Power tab attributes Attribute Subscriber Hardware Downlink Rate SU-
MIMO Downlink Rate MU-
MIMO Meaning See Table 212 on page 9-20. This field displays the SMs or BHS hardware type. This field displays whether the high-priority channel is enabled in the SM/BHS and the status of rate adapt. For example, if 8X/4X is listed, the radio is capable of operating at 8X but is currently operating at 4X, due to RF conditions. This field also states whether it is MIMO-A or MIMO-B radio e.g. 8X/8X MIMO-B indicates MIMO-B and 8X/4X MIMO-A indicates MIMO-A. A VC starts at its lowest modulation and slowly rate adapts up, as traffic is successfully transmitted over the VC. It is normal for one VC to have a different modulation rate than another VC, if only one VC has traffic on it. For example if High Priority VC is enabled, but only low priority VC has traffic the reading will show:
REGISTERED VC 18 Rate 8X/8X MIMO-B VC 255 Rate 8X/1X MIMO-B Note: The SU-MIMO rate applies to all AP platforms. For 450m, this field indicates the rate being used for symbols where this particular VC is not being MU-MIMO grouped with other SMs. The MU-MIMO rate applies only to the 450m AP. This rate indicates the modulation used for symbols where this particular low priority VC is MU-
MIMO scheduled, by grouping it in the same slot with other low priority VCs AP Rx Power (dBm) This field indicates the APs or BHMs combined receive power level for the listed SM/BHS. Page 9-23 Chapter 9: Operation System information Signal Strength Ratio
(dB) Signal to Noise Ratio
(dB) This field displays the ratio of the Vertical path received signal power to the Horizontal path received signal power. This ratio can be useful for determining multipathing conditions (high vertical to horizontal ratio) for Uplink. This field lists the current signal-to-noise level, an indication of the separation of the received power level vs. noise floor. In other words, it indicates signal to noise ratio for Uplink. Page 9-24 Chapter 9: Operation System information Configuration tab The Configuration tab provides information on the SMs or BHS Uplink or Downlink (UL/DL) Sustained Data Rate, UL/DL Burst Allocation, UL/DL Burst Rate, UL/DL Low Priority CIR, UL/DL High CIR, UL/DL High Priority Queue Information and the UL/DL Broadcast or Multicast Allocation.

This field indicates the minimum rate at which high priority traffic is sent over the uplink and downlink (unless CIR is oversubscribed or RF link quality is degraded). Broadcast/Multicast Allocation This field displays the data rate at which Broadcast and Multicast traffic is sent via the radio link. RADIUS Authentication Reply RADIUS Authentication Server This field displays whether RADIUS server is reachable or not. This field displays the associated RADIUS Authentication Server for each SM where it was authenticated. This information is useful when there are multiple RADIUS servers (maximum three servers supported by Cambium). If one server is not reachable, other configured servers are tried in sequential order as a fall-back. In this scenario, the Session Status is useful to identify associate RADIUS Authentication Server for all connected SMs. Page 9-26 Chapter 9: Operation System information Table 216 Session Status > Configuration CIR configuration denotations Attribute

Viewing Remote Subscribers This page allows to view the web pages of registered SMs or BHS over the RF link. To view the pages for a selected SM/BHS, click its link. The General Status page of the SM opens. Figure 193 Remote Subscribers page of AP Interpreting messages in the Event Log 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 expand the window till all lines are shown beginning with time and date stamp. Time and Date Stamp The time and date stamp reflect one of the following:
GPS time and date directly or indirectly received from the CMM4. NTP time and date from a NTP server (CMM4 may serve as an NTP server) The running time and date that you have set in the Time & Date web page. Page 9-29 Chapter 9: Operation System information Note In the Time & Date web page, if you have left any time field or date field unset and clicked the Set Time and Date button, then the time and date default to 00:00:00 UT :
01/01/00. A reboot causes the preset time to pause or, in some cases, to run in reverse. Additionally, a power cycle resets the running time and date to the default 00:00:00 UT : 01/01/00. Thus, whenever either a reboot or a power cycle has occurred, must reset the time and date in the Time & Date web page of any module that is not set to receive sync. Event Log Data Collection The collection of event data continues through reboots and power cycles. When the buffer allowance for event log data is reached, the system adds new data into the log and discards an identical amount of the oldest data. Each line that contains the expression WatchDog flags an event that was both:

Page 9-36 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Interpreting Bridging Table statistics If NAT (network address translation) is not active on the SM/BHS, then the Bridging Table page provides the MAC address of all devices that are attached to registered SMs/BHS (identified by LUIDs). The SM/BHS management MAC addresses are also added in bridge table upon SMs/BHS registration. These entries will be remove automically from the table once SMs/BHS is de-registered. This alleviates the arp cache > bridge cache timeout problems. The bridging table allows data to be sent to the correct module as follows:
For the AP/BHM, the uplink is from RF to Ethernet. Thus, when a packet arrives in the RF interface to the AP/BHM, the AP/BHM reads the MAC address from the inbound packet and creates a bridging table entry of the source MAC address on the other end of the RF interface. For the SM/BHS, the uplink is from Ethernet to RF. Thus, when a packet arrives in the Ethernet interface to one of these modules, the module reads the MAC address from the inbound packet and creates a bridging table entry of the source MAC address on the other end of the Ethernet interface. Figure 198 Bridging Table page The Bridging Table supports up to 4096 entries. Interpreting Translation Table statistics When Translation Bridging is enabled in the AP, each SM keeps a table mapping MAC addresses of devices attached to the AP to IP addresses, as otherwise the mapping of end-user MAC addresses to IP addresses is lost. (When Translation Bridging is enabled, an AP modifies all uplink traffic originating from registered SMs such that the source MAC address of every packet is changed to that of the SM which bridged the packet in the uplink direction.)

This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that deliver framing information. This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. (Some of these packets may have been discarded to increase buffer space.) This field displays how many inbound packets contained errors that prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol.

This field displays how many Ethernet bus errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. This field displays how many CRC errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. This field displays the number of times no FIFO buffer space was able to be allocated. Page 9-39 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Note:
PMP 450 AP running in Gigabit Ethernet Mode displays error RcfFifoNoBuf which indicates packet loss. For 450 AP platforms, if ethernet auto-negotation is set to Gigabit, then it is a known limitation that RcfFifoNoBuf error will be seen. This issue is not seen if autonegotation is set to 100Mbps or lower, and the issue is not seen on 450i or 450m AP's. RxOverrun Late Collision This field displays how many receiver overrun errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. This field displays how many late collisions occurred on the Ethernet controller. A normal collision occurs during the first 512 bits of the frame transmission. A collision that occurs after the first 512 bits is considered a late collision. Caution A late collision is a serious network problem because the frame being transmitted is discarded. A late collision is most commonly caused by a mismatch between duplex configurations at the ends of a link segment. RetransLimitExp This field displays how many times the retransmit limit has expired. TxUnderrun CarSenseLost No Carrier This field displays how many transmission-underrun errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. This field displays how many carrier sense lost errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. This field displays how many no carrier errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. Page 9-40 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Interpreting RF Control Block statistics The Statistics > Radio page is applicable for all module (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). The Radio page of the Statistics page displays the following fields. Table 225 Radio (Statistics) page attributes RF Control Block Attribute inoctets Count inucastpkts Count Innucastpkts Count indiscards Count Meaning This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that deliver framing information. This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. This stat is 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. The likely case for indiscards is if the RF bridge queue is full. If this is the case the radio is most likely PPS limited due to excessive small packet traffic or a problem at the Ethernet interface. If there is a problem at the Ethernet interface there is likely to be discards at the Ethernet as well. inerrors Count This field displays how many inbound packets contained errors that prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. inunknownprotos Count This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.

TRACKING: Valid measurements resulted in good channel estimates and spatial frequency. This VC can now be used for MU-MIMO. INVALID: Inconsistent measurements resulting in no channel estimate or spatial frequency. This VC cannot be used for MU-MIMO and it will ultimately be re-assessed. Page 9-1 Chapter 9: Operation soundingFault System statistics Generally if VC is UNTRUSTED, this means something went wrong. The fault codes can help to describe what is wrong with this channel (If VC is TRACKING this will generally indicate 0 (SOUNDING_FAULT_NONE)). Error codes are:
SOUNDING_FAULT_VC_CEST: Channel Estimate Error, could be due to issues with the channel.. SOUNDING_FAULT_NULLING_SNR: Channel Estimate Error, could be due to issues with the channel. SOUNDING_FAULT_SM_ERROR: SM returned Error code when taking channel measurements. SOUNDING_FAULT_CHANNEL_DISTORTION: Channel Distortion is beyond tolerance, could be due to issues with the channel. SOUNDING_FAULT_UNSTABLE_SF: Inconsistent Spatial Frequency, could be due to issues with the channel. SOUNDING_FAULT_SF_DEVIATION: Inconsistent Spatial Frequency, could be due to issues with the channel. SOUNDING_FAULT_INTERNAL_ERROR: Could be due to incompatible software (AP SM), or other catastrophic software issue. mumimoVetoCount If excessive channel distortion is observed during condensed nulling (tracking state) this count will increment and VC will transition back to assessing state. channelDistortion nullingSNR cnResponseCountSM Channel distortion readings. Signal to noise ratio of condensed nulling error response. The SM adds a counter to the CN (Condensed Nulling) response. This indicates how many responses were sent by that SM. cnResponseCountAP The AP increments a count for each CN response received. missedTagCount This is the number of CN responses transmitted by SM but not received at AP. Page 9-2 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Page 9-3 Interpreting Sounding statistics for SM In the SM GUI, sounding statistics can be found under Statistics > Radio. The top section, RF Control Block Statistics, is applicable to the SM communicating to any AP (450, 450i, or 450m), and it is always visible. The bottom section, Sounding Statistics, is visible only if the SM is communicating with a 450m AP. Table 227 Radio (Statistics - SM) page attributes - Sounding Attribute Responses Responses Suppressed Errors Version Mismatch Meaning Number of sounding responses (full VC assessments or condensed nulling) sent from the SM to the AP Number of sounding requests suppressed by the SM. The reason why a sounding response is suppressed is because the error calculated during the sounding process is lower than the threshold set by the AP. In this case, the SM does not need to transmit a sounding response to the AP Number of errors in the sounding process at the SM Examples of events that count as errors:
Sounding type is not supported IQ capture not enabled: for example, if sounding requested too soon after SM boot IQ capture did not complete Sounding processing took too long Number of sounding requests with mismatched version numbers The Sounding Acquisition Command contains a version number. The SM checks its own version number and flags any mismatch. Currently, AP and SMs use V1. Max Request Interval Avg Request Interval Largest time between two sounding requests received from the 450m AP Average time between two sounding requests received from the 450m AP Page 9-1 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics The following attributes are applicable only for 450m:

This Signal to noise ratio of condensed nulling error response. indicates how many responses were sent by that SM. The AP increments a count for each CN response received. This is the number of CN responses transmitted by SM but not received at AP. cnResponseCountAP missedTagCount Interpreting VLAN statistics The Statistics > VLAN page provides a list of the most recent packets that were filtered because of VLAN membership violations. It is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). Table 228 VLAN page attributes Attribute Unknown Only Tagged Ingress Meaning This must not occur. Contact Technical Support. The packet was filtered because the configuration is set to accept only packets that have an 802.1Q header and this packet did not. When the packet entered through the wired Ethernet interface, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. Page 9-2 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Local Ingress Egress Local Egress When the packet was received from the local TCP/IP stack, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. This must not occur. Contact Technical Support. When the packet attempted to leave through the wired Ethernet interface, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. When the packet attempted to reach the local TCP/IP stack, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. Page 9-3 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Interpreting Data VC statistics The Statistics > Data VC page displays information about Virtual Channel (VC) used in data communications. This page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). The Data VC tab displays the fields as explained in Table 229. Table 229 Data VC page attributes Attribute Subscriber VC CoS Inbound Statistics, octets Inbound Statistics, ucastpkts Inbound Statistics, nucastpkts Inbound Statistics, discards Meaning This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID), MAC address and Site Name of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. If a SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHM and then regains registration, the SM/BHS retains the same LUID. This field displays the virtual channel number. Low priority channels start at VC18 and count up. High priority channels start at VC255 and count down. If one VC is displayed, the high-priority channel is disabled. If two are displayed, the high-priority channel is enabled. This field displays the Class of Service for the virtual channel. The low priority channel is a CoS of 00 and the high priority channel is a CoS of 01. CoS of 02 through 07 are not currently used. This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that deliver framing information. This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. 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 must be close to the RF control block in discards. If indiscards are evenly distributed across SMs, then the radio is PPS limited due to either excessive small packet transmissions, or a problem at the Ethernet link. If indiscards are contained to one or a few SMs, then there is likely a problem at or underneath the SM which is incrementing the count.

This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their transmission. Outbound discard statistics are incremented if a VC is not active when a packet is ready to send. This is a rare condition. Outbound Statistics, errors This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that prevented their transmission. Queue Overflow This is a count of packets that were discarded because the queue for the VC was already full. If Queue Overflows are being seen across most or all SMs, then there is either an interferer local to the AP or the APs RF link is at capacity. If Queue Overflows are being seen at one or only a few SMs, then it is likely that there is a problem with those specific links whether it is insufficient signal strength, interferer, or a problem with the actual SM hardware. High Priority Queue This is a count of packets that were received on high priority queue. Page 9-5 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Interpreting Throughput statistics The 450 Platform Family has a Statistics > Throughput page which shows historical information about sector or backhaul throughput and packet discards. This page is applicable for AP and BHM modules. This information can be useful to identify an overloaded sector or heavy bandwidth users. This page also shows the user throughput in terms of data rate (kbps) and packet rate (packets per second, or PPS), as well as the average packet size during the sample period. Operators may set the AP/BHM to send an SNMP trap when it detects an RF overload condition based on a configurable threshold. The following configuration parameters are available on the Throughput tab GUI pane and a radio reboot is not required when configuring these parameters:
Table 230 RF overload Configuration attributes AP/BHM Attribute Throughput Monitoring This enables or disables the monitoring of sector throughput and packet Meaning discards. This parameter is disabled by default. SNMP Trap on RF Overload Downlink RF Overload Threshold Downlink RF Link Status Time Period Length Time Period Ending This enables or disables the sending of an SNMP trap when an AP/BHM overload condition is reached (based on Downlink RF Overload Threshold). This parameter determines the overload threshold in percent of packets discarded that triggers the generation of an SNMP trap. This field displays the status of the capacity of the RF link. These two configuration parameters determine what set of collection samples to show on the GUI display. The Time Period Length can be set from one to three hours. Time Period Ending allows the operator to set the end time for the set of collection samples to display. Below the configuration settings are three tables that display the statistics that are collected. Board Performance statistics This table contains a row that corresponds to each 1 minute statistics collection interval. Each row contains the following data aggregated for the entire AP/BHM:
Page 9-6 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Ethernet Throughput - Statistics collected at the Ethernet port:
o kbps in average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps into the AP/BHM on the o kbps out average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps out of the AP/BHM on the o PPS in average packets per second over the collection interval into the AP/BHM on the o PPS out average packets per second over the collection interval out of the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface Ethernet Interface Ethernet Interface Ethernet Interface RF Throughput - Statistics collected at the RF Interface:

o kbps average bidirectional throughput over the collection interval in Kbps o PPS average bidirectional packets per second over the collection interval o Ave Pkt Size Average Packet size over the collection interval of bidirectional data transferred Board Throughput statistics This table contains a row that corresponds to each one minute statistics collection interval. This table may be used to determine if there are problems with any of the interfaces. For example, if the Ethernet in packets is much higher than the RF out packets it could indicate a denial of service (DoS) attack on the AP/BHM. Each row contains the following data aggregated for the entire AP/BHM:
Ethernet Statistics - Statistics collected at the Ethernet port:
o inOctets Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o o outOctets Number of octets (bytes) sent by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval inPkts Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o outPkts Number of packets sent by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection o Discards (in/out) Number of packets that had to be discarded by the AP/BHM at the respective interval Ethernet Interface Queue RF Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface:

Note that an LUID may be assigned 1 or 2 VCs. If the LUID is assigned 2 VCs, then the data in the table is the sum of the activity for both VCs. This table may be used to determine which LUIDs are experiencing overload so that corrective action can be taken (i.e. fixing a poor RF link or moving a heavily loaded link to a less congested AP/BHM). Each row contains counters and statistics related to the RF Interface that are updated once per minute:
Inbound Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface for the Uplink:
o octets Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval collection interval o pkts Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the o Ave Pkt Size Average size of the packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o discards Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF In Queue was full o discards % Percent of the total packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF In Queue was full Outbound Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface for the Downlink:

Page 9-8 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Interpreting Overload statistics The Statistics > Overload page displays statistics on packet overload and resultant packet discards. Unlike the other fields, the Total Packets Overload Count is expressed in only this page. 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. This statistics page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) and explained in Table 231. Table 231 Overload page attributes AP/SM/BHM/BHS Attribute Total Packets Overload Count Ethernet In Discards Meaning This field represents the sum of all RF and Ethernet in/out discards. This field represents the number of packets tossed due to the Ethernet queue being full. If a climb in this stat accompanies a climb in RF Out Discards stat, then most likely the board is at RF capacity either due to traffic exceeding the RF pipe, or interference temporarily limiting the RF throughput. If this stat climbs without the RF Out Discards stat climbing, then the radio is most likely PPS limited. Ethernet Out Discards This field represents the number of packets tossed due to an Ethernet out RF In Discards overload. This stat must not 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. This field indicates the number of packets tossed due to no resources available within the radio to process them. This stat also must not be increasing because the system is designed to shed packets on the RF Out interface. If this stat is incrementing the board, it is most likely congested due to high PPS rate in combination with an Ethernet Out problem, which limits packet flow off the device. Page 9-9 Chapter 9: Operation RF Out Discards System statistics This field indicates the number of packets tossed due to RF link at capacity. This stat will increase whenever the RF link is at capacity. When the internal FPGA RF input queue overflows, this stat is incremented. If this stat is seen to be incrementing at the AP, then the sector is congested. If seen at the SM, the number of Contention Slots must be looked at to ensure that enough Contention Slots are allocated to allow for bandwidth requests to be seen at the AP. Note 450m Overload:
The 450m Series AP is designed to handle high load in terms of high throughput and high PPS. In terms of throughput, 450m is designed to achieve 3x or more throughput improvement over 450 and 450i Series products. In terms of packets per second (PPS), 450m is designed to handle up to 100k PPS. Overload occurs when the offered load exceeds the above limits. When overload occurs, 450m will start discarding packets and TCP throughput will degrade due to packet loss. Its worth noting that Frame Utilization statistics (Statistics > Frame Utilization tab: Frame Utilization: Downlink and Uplink) are not necessarily indicative of overload condition. They show how much the TDD frame is utilized. High frame utilization depends on:
High traffic during busy periods: those statistics will be close to 100% and almost all slots will be utilized. In this case if the Overload statistics show that packets are discarded then this is an indication of overload condition. High percentage of VCs with low modulation with moderate traffic. Those VCs will require more slots to service them (due to low modulation) and the frame utilization will be high. In this case the TDD frame is fully utilized but the system is at low capacity and is not in an overload condition. 450m has higher PPS than 450 and 450i and supports higher throughput through spatial multiplexing, therefore when a 450m replaces an overloaded 450 or 450i AP the 450m will not be overloaded under the same conditions but the frame utilization may still show close to 100%; this should not alarm the customer. The overload statistics shall be monitored on 450m to see if it is overloaded or not. Interpreting DHCP Relay statistics The Statistics > DHCP Relay page displays requests and replies received, relayed and discarded when the AP is configured as a DHCP relay. Typically, in a working DHCP relay configuration a one-to-one ratio is established between requests and replies that are received and relayed. This statistics page is only applicable for PMP (AP and SM modules) and it is explained in Table 232.

This field represents the number of DHCP relay requests relayed by the AP. This field represents the number of DHCP relay requests discarded by the AP due to errors in the request. This field represents the number of DHCP relay replies received by the AP. This field represents the number of DHCP relay replies relayed by the AP. This field represents the number of DHCP relay replies discarded by the AP due to errors in the reply. Untrusted Message Discards This field indicates messages that were discarded because the message already contained Option 82 information with no Relay Agent specified. Max Hop Exceeded Discards This field indicates messages that have been relayed too many times, exceeding the max hop count (16). This field indicates messages that have been discarded because the message relay agent address is already in place (relay agent address does not equal address of the AP). This field indicates DHCP messages too large to fit Option 82 data. These messages are sent on without Option 82 information.

The page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). The Syslog Statistics page is explained in Table 241. Table 241 Syslog statistics page attributes AP/SM/BH Attribute Syslog Server Syslog Server Port Syslog Status Syslog Message Transmissions Syslog Message Dropped Meaning This displays dotted decimal or DNS name (if the DNS is enabled) of the syslog server address. The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. This indicates status of syslog messaging. It can be Enable or Disabled based on configuration This field indicates the count of syslog messages sent to UDP layer. This field indicates the count of dropped syslog messages. Interpreting Frame Utilization statistics The Frame Utilization Statistics is a feature helps user to understand how effectively the RF channel is being utilized. This feature allows to check Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame utilization pattern and diagnose for any excessive usage in uplink or downlink direction. This forms the first step of identifying the TDD frame utilization information. If the user finds excessive utilization based on this stats, the second step would be to take several actions like sectorization, tuning the uplink/downlink ratio etc. to improve RF channel utilization. Efficient use of the TDD frame will help to achieve optimum performance of link. Page 9-25 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Note The backhauls (BHM and BHS) will have only the downlink scheduler based statistics Table 242 Frame utilization statistics for PMP 450m AP Page 9-26 Chapter 9: Operation System statistics Page 9-27 Chapter 9: Operation Attribute Frame Utilization Interval Statistics Display interval MU-MIMO Utilization Spatial Utilization Spatial Utilization System statistics Meaning This allows to configure timer interval to monitor and display the frame utilization statistics. It can be configured for 1 minute (low interval), 5 minutes (medium interval) or 15 minutes (high interval) based on requirement. This is a table (32 rows) that lists frame utilization for each spatial frequency (SF) range with following information:
Spatial frequency: Range of spatial frequency for each bin. Each bin includes 32 consecutive spatial frequency values. Azimuth (degrees): Azimuth range in degrees corresponding to the spatial frequencies of the bin. The zero degree azimuth is boresight. Note:
Some SF ranges correspond to multiple azimuth ranges. This is due to the fact that for some spatial frequencies the AP generates beams in multiple azimuth directions. The SM can be physically located in any of the azimuth ranges. Instantaneous (%): Frame utilization for the SF bin, updated every 500 ms. The frame utilization percentage accounts for all traffic, both sector mode and MU-MIMO transmissions. Total (%): Average utilization in the SF bin for the past 1/5/15 minutes, as selected in the Statistics Display Interval. Max (%): Maximum Instantaneous utilization in the 1/5/15 minute interval Min (%): Minimum Instantaneous utilization in the 1/5/15 minute interval VCs in Range: List of VCs with spatial frequency falling in the bin. Note:
The size of each SF bin is smaller than the beam generated by the AP during a MU-MIMO transmission. This means that when a VC in a bin is scheduled for a MU-MIMO transmission, the adjacent bins also receive the signal, and the transmission is counted towards their utilization as well. Bins with consistent low utilization indicate the areas of the sector where more SMs could be installed, or the customers that could be offered higher data plans. Page 9-28 Chapter 9: Operation Grouping Instantaneous Distribution System statistics This specifies the distribution of group size for the past 1/5/15 minutes. For each group size, from 0 to 7, the table shows the percentage of slots using that group size. A group size of 0 corresponds to unused slots. A group size of 1 corresponds to sector mode transmissions
(ungrouped). A group size of 2 to 7 corresponds to MU-MIMO transmissions. This table is updated every 500 ms and displays the following:
Group: Each row corresponds to the top (most active) 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256 VCs. Median Slot Count: Median value of the average number of slots scheduled for the VCs in each group in the past 500 ms. VCs in Group: List of VCs belonging to each bin where each bin includes all VCs listed in preceding rows along with the VCs listed in the corresponding row. For example, the row labeled Top 32 VCs considers up to 32 VCs, which are: one VC listed in Top VC row, plus one VC listed in Top 2 VCs row, plus 2 VCs listed in Top 4 VCs row, plus four VCs listed in Top 8 VCs row, plus 8 VCs listed in Top 16 VCs rows, plus up to 16 VCs listed in Top 32 VCs row. If the number of VCs in the sector is less than 32, this row will include less than 16 VCs; if the number of VCs in the sector is equal to or greater than 32, this row will include 16 VCs. Note:
For best MU-MIMO operation, the distribution of the median values in this table should be as close to flat as possible. If many VCs are equally active, there is a higher probability of being able to group their transmissions. If only a few VCs are active, the probability of grouping transmissions is lower, and both the Average MU-MIMO Group size and the Multiplexing Gain are expected to be lower. Average MU-MIMO Group Size Sector Utilization MU-MIMO Utilization SU-MIMO Utilization This specifes the average number of users in the MU-MIMO groups formed in the last 1/5/15 minutes. This specifes the average of the 32 values of the Spatial Utilization table. This specifies the portion of the Sector Utilization used for MU-MIMO transmissions. This specifies the portion of the Sector Utilization used for SU-MIMO transmissions. Page 9-29 Chapter 9: Operation Canopy MAC Acknowledgment Utilization Broadcast/Multicast Utilization Multiplexing Gain Frame Utilization Downlink Uplink Bandwidth Requests System statistics This specifies the portion of the Sector Utilization used for acknowledgments transmission. This specifies the portion of the Sector Utilization used for broadcast and multicast transmissions. This specifies the ratio between the number of logical slots and the number of physical slots used. A physical slot is an OFDM symbol. In non MU-MIMO mode, each logical slot is sent during one physical slot. In MU-MIMO mode a number of logical slots are sent during a physical slot, equal to the number of VCs in the group. A logical slot carries new information; if data is repeated in a group, because some VCs have more data to send then others, then the repeated transmissions are not counted as a logical slots. Without MU-MIMO operation, the multiplexing gain would always be equal to 1. With MU-MIMO operation, this number accounts for parallel transmissions to multiple users in the MU-MIMO group. The difference between the Average MU-MIMO Group Size and the Multiplexing Gain is that the Average MU-MIMO Group Size only considers the MU-MIMO groups, and it averages the number of VCs in the Group. The Multiplexing Gain also considers non MU-MIMO transmissions, which are counted as groups of size 1. This indicates the percentage of downlink data slots used against the maximum number of slots possible in the configured interval. This indicates the percentage of uplink data slots used against the maximum number of uplink slots possible in the configured interval. The "Bandwidth Request" is a message sent from the SM to the AP asking to be scheduled for bandwidth to send in the uplink. This gets transmitted in the unscheduled portion of the uplink. Unscheduled uplink is defined as Contention Slots + unscheduled uplink slots. Since this is sent in the unscheduled portion of the uplink, it will result in collisions when SMs randomly pick the same slot. The "Bandwidth Request Missed" metrics are to add data to know how many of requests are colliding. If it is near 100%, then near all of the SMs bandwidth requests are getting through to the AP, so this a is near perfect scenario. If it is significantly less than that, you may be experiencing uplink latency as your SMs are attempting to request bandwidth and are unable to do so. Also note that if it is consistently at 100% the AP may be able to reduce its contention slots to a lower value and gain more data slots.

How to recover a PMP/PTP 450i and PMP 450m Series ODUs from configuration errors or software image corruption How to override a PMP/PTP 450 Series ODUs from forgotten IP address and password to factory default Radio Recovery Console PMP/PTP 450i/450b and PMP 450m Recovery mode allows to restore IP address and password. Also, it allows new main application software to be loaded even when the integrity of the existing main application software image has been compromised. The most likely cause of an integrity problem with the installed main application software is where the power supply has been interrupted during a software upgrade. Note When Recovery has been entered through a power on/off/on cycle, the ODU will revert to normal operation if no web access has been made to the unit within 30 seconds. This prevents the unit remaining inadvertently in recovery following a power outage. Options in recovery mode are:
Boot with normal operation Boot with default Canopy system software settings Load a previous SW image The last most recent software images loaded to the board are retained. However the factory image is not retained. Boot with default Canopy system software settings (similar to the hardware Default Plug based on 450 Platforms Family). Note The unit may enter recovery console automatically, in response to some failures. Note Once the unit has entered recovery, it will switch back to normal operation if no access has been made to the recovery web page within 30 seconds. Use below procedure to enter in recovery console manually. Page 9-36 Chapter 9: Operation Radio Recovery Page 9-37 Chapter 9: Operation Procedure 35 Radio Recovery Console Radio Recovery 1 Apply power to PSU for at least 10 seconds. 2 Remove power from the PSU, and then re-apply it as soon as the power indicator light goes out (about 1 - 2 seconds). 3 When the unit is in recovery mode, access the web interface by entering the default IP address 169.254.1.1. The Recovery Image Warning page is displayed. 4 Review the Boot Selection (Table 244). 5 Select a recovery option Figure 201 Recovery Options page Attribute Boot Selection Table 244 Recovery Options attributes Meaning Boot Default Mode: Use this option to temporarily set the IP and Ethernet attributes to factory defaults until the next reboot. Boot Normal: Use this option to reboot the unit. These fields display IP address, Netmask and Gateway of the radio while it is in recovery or default mode. IP address, Netmask, Gateway Page 9-38 Chapter 9: Operation Radio Recovery Note The radio enters recovery mode when a short power cycle is used. The radio will boot normally if power has been removed for a longer period (typically 5 - 10 seconds). Default Mode (or Default/Override Plug) - PMP/PTP 450 Series The default modeallows to temporarily override some PMP/PTP 450 Series ODU settings and thereby regain control of the module by powering the module on with the Default Plug inserted into the units synchronization (RJ11) port. This override plug is needed for access to the module in any of the following cases:
You have forgotten either o o the IP address assigned to the ODU. the password that provides access to the ODU. The ODU has been locked by the No Remote Access feature. You want local access to a module that has had the 802.3 link disabled in the Configuration page. You can configure the module such that, when it senses the override plug, it responds by either resetting the LAN1 IP address to 169.254.1.1, allowing access through the default configuration without changing the configuration, whereupon you will be able to view and reset any non-default values as you wish. resetting all configurable parameters to their factory default values. Note The Default Plug is available from Best-Tronics Manufacturing, Inc. See http://www.best-tronics.com/cambium.htm as Part BT-0583 (RJ-11 Default Plug). Alternatively, you can fabricate an override plug. See Override plug cable on page 5-15 for pinout. Page 9-39 Chapter 9: Operation Radio Recovery Using the Default/Override Plug The following section details usage of the override plug to regain access to PMP/PTP 450 Series ODU. Note While the override plug is connected to a PMP/PTP 450 Series ODU, the ODU can neither register nor allow registration of another ODU. Note Since the 900 MHz SM is based on the 450 Series, it only supports the "Default Plug" mode of overriding. Use below procedure to enter in default mode manually. Procedure 36 Default mode 1 2 Insert the override plug into the RJ-11 GPS utility port of the module. Power cycle by removing, then re-inserting, the Ethernet cable. RESULT: The module boots with the default IP address of 169.254.1.1, password fields blank, and all other configuration values as previously set. 3 Wait approximately 30 seconds for the boot to complete. 4 Remove the override plug. 5 6 Change configuration values if desired. 7 Click the Save Changes button. 8 Click the Reboot button. Set passwords and IP address as desired. Page 9-40 Chapter 10: Reference information This chapter contains reference information and regulatory notices that apply to the 450 Platform Family ODUs.

Chapter 10: Reference information Equipment Disposal FCC specific information FCC compliance testing With GPS synchronization installed, the system has been tested for compliance to US (FCC) specifications. It has been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules in the USA. These limits have been designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. However the equipment can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other radio communications. There is no guarantee that interference does not occur in a particular installation.

General troubleshooting procedure on page 11-2 Troubleshooting procedures on page 11-5 Power-up troubleshooting on page 11-13 Registration and connectivity troubleshooting on page 11-14 Page 11-1 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting General troubleshooting procedure General troubleshooting procedure General planning for troubleshooting Effective troubleshooting depends in part on measures that you take before you experience trouble in your network. Cambium recommends the following measures for each site:
Identify troubleshooting tools that are available at your site (such as a protocol analyzer). Identify commands and other sources that can capture baseline data for the site. These may include:
o Ping o Tracert or traceroute o Link Capacity Test results o Throughput data o Configuration tab captures o Status tab captures o Session logs o Web browser used Start a log for the site. Include the following information in the log:
o Operating procedures o Site-specific configuration records o Network topology o Software releases, boot versions and FPGA firmware versions o Types of hardware deployed o Site-specific troubleshooting processes o Escalation procedures Capture baseline data into the log from the sources listed above Page 11-2 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting General troubleshooting procedure General fault isolation process Effective troubleshooting also requires an effective fault isolation methodology that includes the following:
Attempting to isolate the problem to the level of a system, subsystem, or link, such as o AP to SM o AP to CMM4 o AP to GPS o Backhaul(BH) o Backhaul(BH) to CMM4 o Power Interpreting messages in the Event Log Researching Event Logs of the involved equipment Answering the questions listed in the following sections. Reversing the last previous corrective attempt before proceeding to the next. Performing only one corrective attempt at a time. Questions to help isolate the problem When a problem occurs, attempt to answer the following questions:
What is the history of the problem?
o Have we changed something recently?
o Have we seen other symptoms before this?
How wide-spread is the symptom?
o o Is the problem on only a single SM? (If so, focus on that SM.) Is the problem on multiple SMs? If so is the problem on one AP in the cluster? (If so, focus on that AP) is the problem on multiple, but not all, APs in the cluster? (If so, focus on those APs) is the problem on all APs in the cluster? (If so, focus on the CMM4 and the GPS signal.) Based on data in the Event Log o does the problem correlate to External Hard Resets with no WatchDog timers? (If so, this indicates a loss of power. Correct your power problem.) is intermittent connectivity indicated? (If so, verify your configuration, power level, cables and connections and the speed duplex of both ends of the link). o o does the problem correlate to loss-of-sync events?
Are connections made via shielded cables?
Does the GPS antenna have an unobstructed view of the entire horizon?
Has the site grounding been verified?
Secondary Steps After preliminary fault isolation is completed through the above steps, follow these:

Procedure 37 Troubleshooting loss of connectivity 1 2 3 Isolate the end user/SM from peripheral equipment and variables such as routers, switches and firewalls. Set up the minimal amount of equipment. On each end of the link:
Check the cables and connections. Verify that the cable/connection schemestraight-through or crossoveris correct. Verify that the LED labeled LNK is green. Access the General Status tab in the Home page of the module. Verify that the SM is registered. Verify that Received Power Level is -87 dBm or higher. Access the IP tab in the Configuration page of the module. Verify that IP addresses match and are in the same subnet. If RADIUS authentication is configured, ensure that the RADIUS server is operational Page 11-5 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures 4 5 On the SM end of the link:
Verify that the PC that is connected to the SM is correctly configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP. Execute ipconfig (Windows) or ifconfig (linux) Verify that the PC has an assigned IP address. On each end of the link:

Note A ping size larger than 1494 Bytes to a module times out and fails. However, a ping of this size or larger to a system that is behind a Canopy module typically succeeds. It is generally advisable to ping such a system, since Canopy handles that ping with the same priority as is given all other transport traffic. The results are unaffected by ping size and by the load on the Canopy module that brokers this traffic. 6 After connectivity has been re-established, reinstall network elements and variables that you removed in Step 1.

Page 11-7 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures SM Does Not Register to an AP To troubleshoot a SM failing to register to an AP, perform the following steps. Procedure 39 Troubleshooting SM failing to register to an AP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Access the Radio tab in the Configuration page of the SM. Note the Color Code of the SM. Access the Radio tab in the Configuration page of the AP. Verify that the Color Code of the AP matches that of the SM. Note the Radio Frequency Carrier of the AP. Verify that the value of the RF Frequency Carrier of the AP is selected in the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List parameter in the SM. In the AP, verify that the Max Range parameter is set to a distance slightly greater than the distance between the AP and the furthest SM that must register to this AP. Verify that no obstruction significantly penetrates the Fresnel zone of the attempted link. Access the General Status tab in the Home page of each module. Remove the bottom cover of the SM to expose the LEDs. Power cycle the SM. RESULT: Approximately 25 seconds after the power cycle, the green LED labeled LNK must light to indicate that the link has been established. If the orange LED labeled SYN is lit instead, then the SM is in Alignment mode because the SM failed to establish the link. If the AP is configured to require authentication, ensure proper configuration of RADIUS or Pre-shared AP key. In this latter case and if the SM has encountered no customer-inflicted damage, then request an RMA for the SM. Page 11-8 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Module has lost or does not gain sync To troubleshoot a loss of sync, perform the following steps. Procedure 40 Troubleshooting loss of sync 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Access the Event Log tab in the Home page of the SM Check for messages with the following format:
RcvFrmNum =

If these messages are present, check the Event Log tab of another SM that is registered to the same AP for messages of the same type. If the Event Log of this second SM does not contain these messages, then the fault is isolated to the first SM. If the Event Log page of this second SM contains these messages, access the GPS Status page of the AP. If the Satellites Tracked field in the GPS Status page of the AP indicates fewer than 4 or the Pulse Status field does not indicate Generating Sync, check the GPS Status page of another AP in the same AP cluster for these indicators. GPS signal acquisition must not take longer than 5 minutes from unit startup. If these indicators are present in the second AP, then:
Verify that the GPS antenna still has an unobstructed view of the entire horizon. Visually inspect the cable and connections between the GPS antenna and the CMM4. If this cable is not shielded, replace the cable with shielded cable If these indicators are not present in the second AP, visually inspect the cable and connections between the CMM4 and the AP antenna. If this cable is not shielded, replace the cable with shielded cable. Page 11-9 Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Module does not establish Ethernet connectivity To troubleshoot a loss of Ethernet connectivity, perform the following steps:
Procedure 41 Troubleshooting loss of Ethernet connectivity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Verify that the connector crimps on the Ethernet cable are not loose. Verify that the Ethernet cable is not damaged. If the Ethernet cable connects the module to a network interface card (NIC), verify that the cable is pinned out as a straight-through cable. If the Ethernet cable connects the module to a hub, switch, or router, verify that the cable is pinned out as a crossover cable. Verify that the Ethernet port to which the cable connects the module is set to auto-
negotiate speed. Verify VLAN configuration in the network, which may cause loss of module access if the accessing device is on a separate VLAN from the radio. Power cycle the module. RESULT: Approximately 25 seconds after the power cycle, the green LED labeled LNK must light up to indicate that the link has been established. If the orange LED labeled SYN is lit instead, then the module is in Alignment mode because the module failed to establish the link. In this latter case and if the module has encountered no customer-inflicted damage, then request an RMA for the module.

http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/resources/pmp-450m/
450m overload The 450m Series AP is designed to handle high load in terms of high throughput and high PPS. In terms of throughput, 450m is designed to achieve 3x or more throughput improvement over 450 and 450i Series products. In terms of packets per second (PPS), 450m is designed to handle up to 100k PPS. Overload occurs when the offered load exceeds the above limits. When overload occurs, 450m will start discarding packets and TCP throughput will degrade due to packet loss. The 450 family of products have a set of overload statistics that can be used to monitor overload conditions (Statistics >Overload tab). Page I Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Logs The above statistics shall be monitored over time for overload conditions over consecutive periods. Refer to Interpreting Overload statistics for description of those statistics. Its worth noting that Frame Utilization statistics (Statistics >Frame Utilization tab: Frame Utilization:
Downlink and Uplink) are not necessarily indicative of overload condition. They show how much the TDD frame is utilized. High frame utilization depends on:
1. high traffic during busy periods: those statistics will be close to 100% and almost all slots will be utilized. In this case if the Overload statistics show that packets are discarded then this is an indication of overload condition. 2. high percentage of VCs with low modulation with moderate traffic. Those VCs will require more slots to service them (due to low modulation) and the frame utilization will be high. In this case the TDD frame is fully utilized but the system is at low capacity and is not in an overload condition. 450m has higher PPS than 450 and 450i and supports higher throughput through spatial multiplexing, therefore when a 450m replaces an overloaded 450 or 450i AP the 450m will not be overloaded under the same conditions but the frame utilization may still show close to 100%; this should not alarm the customer. The overload statistics shall be monitored on 450m to see if it is overloaded or not.

GPS (Global Positioning System) absolute time, which is passed from one module to another. Sync enables timing that prevents modules from transmitting or receiving interference. Sync also provides correlative time stamps for troubleshooting efforts. Alternatively known as Transmission Control Protocol or Transport Control Protocol. The Transport Layer in the TCP/IP protocol stack. This protocol is applied to assure that data packets arrive at the target network element and to control the flow of data through the Internet. Defined in RFC 793. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc793.html. Time Division Duplexing. Synchronized data transmission with some time slots allocated to devices transmitting on the uplink and some to the device transmitting on the downlink. Utility that allows a client computer to update a server. A firewall can prevent the use of the telnet utility to breach the security of the server. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc818.html, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc854.html and http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc855.html. Theoretical amounts of data. See also Buckets. This field displays how many transmission-underrun errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. User Datagram Protocol. A set of Network, Transport, and Session Layer protocols that RFC 768 defines. These protocols include checksum and address information but does not retransmit data or process any errors. See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc768.html. User-defined type of port. Page XII Chapter 11: Troubleshooting Logs Term U-NII VID VLAN VPN Definition Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure radio frequency band, in the 5.1GHz through 5.8 GHz ranges. VLAN identifier. See also VLAN. Virtual local area network. An association of devices through software that contains broadcast traffic, as routers would, but in the switch-level protocol. Virtual private network for communication over a public network. One typical use is to connect remote employees, who are at home or in a different city, to their corporate network over the Internet. Any of several VPN implementation schemes is possible. SMs support L2TP over IPSec
(Level 2 Tunneling Protocol over IP Security) VPNs and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPNs, regardless of whether the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature enabled. Page XIII

Page 3 Important regulatory information The 450 Platform Family products are certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands). Application software Download the latest 450 Platform Family software and install it in the Outdoor Units (ODUs) before deploying the equipment. Instructions for installing software are provided in Upgrading the software version and using CNUT on page 7-64. USA specific information Caution This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference, and This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires manufacturers to implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz. Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of FCC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to the FCC. Cambium supplies variants of the 450i and 450m Series specifically for operation in the USA in order to comply with FCC requirements (KDB 905462 D02 UNII DFS Compliance Procedures New Rules v01r02). These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. Similarly, Cambium supplies variants of the 450 Series specifically for operation in the USA in order to comply with FCC requirements (KDB 443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01r04). These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. To ensure compliance when using PMP 450 Series and PTP 450 Series, follow the recommendation in Avoidance of weather radars
(USA only). Page 4 External antennas When using a connectorized version of the product, the conducted transmit power may need to be reduced to ensure the regulatory limit on transmitter EIRP is not exceeded. The installer must have an understanding of how to compute the effective antenna gain from the actual antenna gain and the feeder cable losses. The range of permissible values for maximum antenna gain and feeder cable losses are included in this user guide together with a sample calculation. The product GUI automatically applies the correct conducted power limit to ensure that it is not possible for the installation to exceed the EIRP limit, when the appropriate values for antenna gain and feeder cable losses are entered into the GUI. Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) To comply with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470 -
5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), units which are installed within 35 km (22 miles) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system (or have a line of sight propagation path to such a system) must be configured to avoid any frequency within +30 MHz or 30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR device. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km (22 miles) radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km (22 miles) radius of the TDWRs. If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used. Devices with bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation. When planning a link in the USA, visit http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx, enter the location of the planned link and search for TDWR radars. If a TDWR system is located within 35 km (22 miles) or has line of sight propagation to the PTP device, perform the following tasks:
Register the installation on http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx. Make a list of channel center frequencies that must be barred, that is, those falling within +30 MHz or 30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR radars. The 450 Platform Family AP must be configured to not operate on the affected channels. Canada specific information Caution This device complies with ISEDC s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. ISEDC requires manufacturers to implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz. Page 5 Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of ISEDC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to ISEDC . In order to comply with these ISEDC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the 450 Platform Family for operation in Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with ISEDC rules. In particular, operation of radio channels overlapping the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz is not allowed and these channels are permanently barred. In addition, other channels may also need to be barred when operating close to weather radar installations. Other variants of the 450 Platform Family are available for use in the rest of the world, but these variants are not supplied to Canada except under strict controls, when they are needed for export and deployment outside Canada.

Page 1-15 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Wireless operation This section describes how the 450 Platform Family wireless link is operated, including modulation modes, power control and security. Time division duplexing The system uses Time Division Duplexing (TDD) one channel alternately transmits and receives rather than using one channel for transmitting and a second channel for receiving. To accomplish TDD, the AP/BHM must provide sync to its SM/BHS. Furthermore, collocated APs/BHMs must be synced together an unsynchronized AP/BHM that transmits during the receive cycle of a collocated AP/BHM can prevent a second AP/BHM from being able to decode the signals from its APs/BHSs. In addition, across a geographical area, APs/BHMs that can hear each other benefit from using a common sync to further reduce self-interference within the network. Modules use TDD on a common frequency to divide frames for uplink (orange) and downlink (green) usage, as shown in the figure below. For more information on synchronization configuration options, see GPS synchronization on page 2-45. Figure 2 TDD frame division Time Page 1-16 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation TDD frame parameters The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following:
Channel Bandwidth Cyclic Prefix Frame Period Frame configuration - Downlink Data Link operation Dynamic Rate Adaptation OFDM and channel bandwidth The PMP/PTP 450 Platform Family transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This wideband signal consists of many equally spaced sub-carriers. Although each sub carrier is modulated at a low rate using conventional modulation schemes, the resultant data rate from the sub-
carriers is high. OFDM works exceptionally over a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) channel. The channel bandwidth of the OFDM signal is configurable to one of the following values: 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 MHz. Higher bandwidths provide greater link capacity at the expense of using more bandwidth. Systems configured for a narrower channel bandwidth provide better receiver sensitivity and can also be an appropriate choice in deployments where the amount of free spectrum is limited. Note The channel bandwidth must be configured to the same value at both ends of the link. Not all channel bandwidths are available in all regulatory bands. Cyclic Prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. For your convenience, the 450 Platform Family ODUs have been locked to a 1/16 CP. Frame Period The frame period or frame duration is the time between the beginning of a frame and the end of the frame. The 450 Platform Family supports two frame periods: 2.5 ms and 5 ms. Note PMP 450m AP supports 2.5 ms Frame Period only. The 5ms frame period configuration provides higher throughput as a result of reduced frame overhead during transmission. In turn, the 2.5 ms frame period configuration affords reduced latency in the system, half of that introduced by the 5 ms frame configuration. Page 1-17 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Frame configuration - Downlink Data The percentage of frame assigned to transport downlink data. The downlink data specifies the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted from the AP/BHM to the subscriber). The configurable range is 15% to 85%. Note The maximum configurable range is 34% to 66% for 40 MHz with 5 ms frame. Link operation Dynamic Rate Adapt The 450 Platform Family ODUs offer eight levels or speeds of operation 2X MIMO-B and 1X MIMO-A
(QPSK), 4X MIMO-B and 2X MIMO-A (16-QAM), 6x MIMO-B and 3X MIMO-A (64-QAM) and 8X MIMO-B and 4X MIMO-A (265-QAM). If received power varies due to distance between the AP/BHM and the SM/BHS or due to obstructions, or if interference affects the RF environment, the system automatically and dynamically adjusts the links to the best operation level. The system chooses its modulation rate dynamically, based on an internal ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) error control method. With ARQ, every data slot of every frame sent over the air (except downlink broadcast) is expected to be acknowledged by the receiver, and if acknowledgement is not received, the data is resent. The sending unit monitors these re-sends and adjusts the modulation rate accordingly. It is normal to have links that change levels of operation as the RF environment changes. Furthermore, the uplink or downlink portions of TDD duty cycle operate independently. The various modulation levels used by 450 Platform Family are shown in Table 11. Table 11 Modulation levels Rate QPSK MIMO-B MIMO-A 2X MIMO-B 1X MIMO-A 16-QAM 4X MIMO-B 2X MIMO-A 64-QAM 6X MIMO-B 3X MIMO-A 256-QAM 8X MIMO-B 4X MIMO-A Note MIMO-A achieves half the throughput of MIMO-B but adds a combining diversity (gain) which enhances the link budget or availability. Page 1-18 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Encryption The 450 Platform Family supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The 450 Platform Family supports the following forms of encryption for security of the wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys and 256-bit key size to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. The default setting on an AP is "Disabled". MIMO Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and increase the probability that the receiver decodes a usable signal. When the effects of MIMO are combined with those of OFDM techniques and a high link budget, there is a high probability of a robust connection over a non-
line-of-sight path. The sub-features that comprises the MIMO techniques utilized in the 450 Platform Family ODUs are:
MIMO-A: This technique enables 450 Platform Family radio to use a scheme that optimizes coverage by transmitting the same data over both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver making it more robust. MIMO-B: This technique provides the ability to double the throughput of a radio transmission under proper RF conditions. Different data streams are transmitted simultaneously on two different antennas. MU-MIMO Multiple-input multiple-output, or MIMO, is a range of technologies used to multiply the capacity of a wireless connection without requiring more spectrum. Although traditional MIMO techniques are focused on increasing the bandwidth available between two wireless nodes, multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) applies these technologies to increase overall wireless network capacity by allowing an access point to communicate wirelessly with more than one wireless node at once. A MU-MIMO access point features an array of antennas. When the AP decides to communicate with multiple nodes at the same time, it creates multiple simultaneous beams each directed to a specific node. This is contrast to a traditional wireless system, where two wireless nodes cannot communicate on the same channel to the same access point at the same time, without causing significant self-interference and degrading the overall wireless network performance. Page 1-19 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation A MU-MIMO access point estimates and measures what a transmission from each wireless node sounds like, by applying knowledge of the wireless path characteristics between the access point and node. Known as channel estimation, this process is of vital importance; without it, the access point cannot distinguish properly between wireless nodes, affecting performance. Channel estimation is achieved by the access point sending a specific signal to a wireless node, which the node then reflects back. By measuring how the signal was received back from the node, the access point can estimate the wireless conditions between itself and the node, and know to expect these same conditions to be applied to other communications from that node. This is known as channel sounding. Channel estimation and sounding must be regularly repeated to ensure wireless network performance remains high; the speed at which a system is able to accurately estimate the channel has a large impact on performance. Once channel estimation is completed for a wireless node, the MU-MIMO access point can electrically tune each antenna to provide the highest performance for that node. The access point uses beamforming to create a radio beam to that node which is tuned for optimum performance and avoids beams directed to other nodes, reducing interference and helping to improve overall wireless network capacity. A MU-MIMO access point can communicate to multiple wireless nodes simultaneously using this process. As the majority of nodes are unable to make full use of the whole access point capacity at once, communicating with several nodes simultaneously can greatly improve the overall capacity achieved in the wireless network. Page 1-20 Chapter 1: Product description System management System management This section introduces the 450 Platform Family management system, including the web interface, installation, configuration, alerts and upgrades. Management agent The 450 Platform Family radios are managed through an embedded management agent. Management workstations, network management systems or PCs can be connected to this agent using the modules Ethernet port or over-the air (SM/BHS) The management agent supports the following interfaces:
Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) Hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) RADIUS authentication Simple network management protocol (SNMP) v2c and v3 Network time protocol (NTP) System logging (Syslog) Wireless Manager (WM) software Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) software cnMaestro Web server The 450 Platform Family management agent contains a web server. The web server supports access via the HTTP/HTTPS interface. Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the 450 Platform Family radios from a locally connected computer or from a network management workstation connected through a management network, without requiring any special management software. The web and SNMP are the interfaces supported for installation of 450 Platform Family radios and for the majority of configuration management tasks. Page 1-21 Chapter 1: Product description System management Web pages The web-based management interfaces provide comprehensive web-based fault, configuration, performance and security management functions organized into the following groups:
Access Point or Backhaul Master:
Home Configuration Statistics Tools Logs Accounts Quick Start Copyright Subscriber Module or Backhaul Slave Home Configuration Statistics Tools Logs Accounts PDA Copyright Identity-based user accounts When identity-based user accounts are configured, a security officer can define from one to four user accounts, each of which may have one of the four possible roles:
ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of the root and admin users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of them creates. INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR except that the installer cannot add or delete users or change the password of any other user. TECHNICIAN, who has permissions to modify basic radio parameters and view informational web pages GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status tab Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to only see the items. See Managing module access by passwords for detailed information on account permissions. Page 1-22 Chapter 1: Product description System management Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) The PMP configuration of 450 Platform Family includes support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol functionality including:
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 not used for APs. SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP. User Authentication allows users to configure a separate User authentication server along with the SM authentication server. If firmware is upgraded while using this functionality and no User authentication servers are configured, then AP continues to use the SM authentication server for User authentication SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. Centralized AP and SM user name and password management: Allows AP and SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician and Read-Only) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account. Framed-IP-Address: Operators may use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules. SNMP The management agent supports fault and performance management by means of an SNMP interface. The management agent is compatible with SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using Management Information Base (MIB) files which are available for download from the Cambium Networks Support website:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450 https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 Network Time Protocol (NTP) The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or without a connection to a network time server (NTP). It can be configured to display local time by setting the time zone and daylight saving in the Time web page. If an NTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time at regular intervals. The 450 Platform Family radios may receive NTP data from a CMM4 module or an NTP server configured in the systems management network. Page 1-23 Chapter 1: Product description System management The Time Zone option is configurable on the APs/BHMs Time Configuration page, and may be used to offset the received NTP time to match the operators local time zone. When set on the AP/BHM, the offset is set for the entire sector (AP/BHSs is notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time Zone change is applied, the AP/BHSs are notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some AP/BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log. An AP/BHM which is receiving NTP date and time information from an NTP server or from a GPS synchronization source may be used as an NTP server. Any client which has IP connectivity to the BHM may request NTP date and time information from the AP/BHM. No additional configuration (other than the AP/BHM receiving valid NTP data) is required to use the AP/BHM as an NTP server.

Page 2-33 Chapter 2: System hardware Cabling Outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet cable Outdoor Cat5e cable is used for all connections that terminate outside the building. For example, connections between the ODU, surge suppressors (if installed), UGPS receivers (if installed) and the power supply injector. This is known as a drop cable (Figure 21). The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
Use only shielded cables and connectors to resist interference and corrosion. For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief. Include a 2 ft (0.6 m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed. Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the device. Properly crimp all connectors. Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion. Order Superior Essex type BBDGe cable from Cambium Networks (Table 39). Other lengths of this cable are available from Superior Essex.

Page 2-44 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization GPS synchronization GPS synchronization description Cambium offers GPS synchronization to limit the networks own self-interference. The Cluster Management CMM provides Global Positioning System (GPS) synchronization to the Access Point (AP) and all associated Subscriber Modules (SM). Network operators have a choice of UGPS and CMM solutions to select the option that works best for the environment. Universal GPS (UGPS) The UGPS provides network synchronization for smaller networks where a CMM may not be cost effective. The UGPS provides synchronization for one or two modules so that even remote areas at the edge of the network can operate with synchronization for improved performance. The UGPS works with all Cambium PMP radios. The UGPS has a small footprint and is easy to deploy. Figure 28 UGPS Note PMP 450/450i/450m Series - APs can power up a UGPS via the Aux/Timing port. Page 2-45 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization CMM5 The CMM5 (Cluster Management Module) is the latest generation of solutions for the distribution of TDD Sync signals and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) in the field. The CMM5 is a modular design with individual 4-port power injectors and an optional controller used for remote management. Key features of the CMM5 include:
Support for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BaseT) Modular and scalable from 4 ports to 32 ports Direct +/- 48VDC input (optional AC/DC power supplies are available from Cambium Networks) Uses Cambium Networks UGPS for a synchronization source Dual resilient power inputs Rack mountable Secure remote management when used with the optional CMM5 Controller Module Support for PMP 450m (cnMedusa) Future support for integration into (cnMedusa) for cloud or NOC-based management It consists of four subsystems, described in the following sections:

For operators who prefer indoor CMM mounting, Cambium offers the Rack-Mounted Cluster Management Module 4. The unit is designed to be mounted onto a standard 19-inch telecommunications rack and to allow the Cambium CMM4 to be co-located with other telecommunications equipment. Figure 33 CMM4 (Rack Mount) The CMM4 has two DC power inputs, one 29 V and one 56V. It can be used to power and synchronize both 29 V legacy products such as the PMP 450 Series and 56V products such as the PMP 450i Series simultaneously. If the 29 V legacy products are connected to the CMM4, a 29 V power supply needs to be connected. If the 450i Series is connected to the CMM4, a 56 V power supply needs to be connected. The CMM4 supports having two of the 56 V and two of the 29 V supplies for redundancy. Warning PMP 450i Series requires different wiring between the CMM4 and device. If a PMP450 Series ODU is replaced by a PMP 450i Series and the existing drop cable needs to be re-
used, the Ethernet cable adapter for CMM4 - N000045L001A" must be used between the CMM4 and the existing drop cable.

Page 2-53 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization CMM4 (Cabinet with switch) Designed to deliver consistent and reliable wireless broadband service, the PMP/PTP system gracefully scales to support large deployments. The cluster management module is the heart of the systems synchronization capability which allows network operators to re-use frequencies and add capacity while ensuring consistency in the quality of service to customers. As a result, subscribers can experience carrier-grade service even at the outer edge of the network. Figure 36 CMM4 (Cabinet with switch) CMM4 (Cabinet without switch) This CMM includes all of the functionality listed above but there is no switch. This provides the network operator the flexibility to use the switch of their choice with the power and synchronization capabilities of the CMM4. Page 2-54 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization CMM3/CMMmicro The CMM3 or CMMmicro (Cluster Management Module micro) provides power, GPS timing, and networking connections for an AP cluster. The CMM3 is configurable through a web interface. The CMM3 contains an 8-port managed switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE this is Cambium PoE, not the standard 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. The CMM3 can auto-negotiate speed to match inputs that are either 100Base-TX or 10Base-T, and either full duplex or half duplex, where the connected device is set to auto-negotiate. Alternatively, these parameters are settable. A CMM3 requires only one cable, terminating in an RJ-45 connector, for each connected module to distribute Ethernet signaling. power to as many as 8 co-located modulesAPs, BHMs, or BHSs. Through a browser interface to the managed switch, ports can be powered or not. sync to APs and BHMs. The CMM3 receives 1-pulse per second timing information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites through an antenna (included) and passes the timing pulse embedded in the 24-V power to the connected modules. GPS status information is available at the CMM3, however CMM3 provides time and date information to BHMs and APs if both the CMMmicro is operating on CMMmicro Release 2.1 or later and the AP/BHM is operating on System Release 4.2 or later. See Configuring time settings on Page 7-17. CMM3 does not provide time and date information to BHMs and APs if either the CMM3 is operating on a release earlier than CMMmicro Release 2.1 or the AP/BHM is operating on a release earlier than System Release 4.2. A CMM3/CMMicro is shown in Figure 37 and Figure 38.

Site selection for PMP/PTP radios When selecting a site for the ODU, consider the following factors:
Height and location to ensure that people are kept away from the antenna; see Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-24. Height and location to achieve the best radio path. Indoor location where the power supply LED indicators will be visible, so the drop cable length will not exceed the maximum recommended length; see Power supply site selection on page 3-8. Ability to meet the requirements specified in Grounding and lightning protection on page 3-8. Aesthetics and planning permission issues. Cable lengths; see Ethernet standards and cable lengths on page 2-33. The effect of strong winds on the installation; see ODU wind loading on page 3-11. Page 3-7 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Power supply site selection When selecting a site for the ODU power supply, consider the following factors:
Indoor location with no possibility of condensation, flooding or high humidity. Availability of a mains electricity supply. Located in an environment where it is not likely to exceed its operational temperature rating, allowing for natural convection cooling. Accessibility for viewing status indicator LED and connecting Ethernet cables. Cable lengths; see Ethernet standards and cable lengths on page 2-33. Maximum cable lengths When installing PMP/PTP 450i Series ODU, the maximum permitted length of the shielded copper Ethernet interface cable is 330 feet (100m) from AP/BHM/SM/BHS to their associated power supplies or CMM4. When installing PMP 450m Series ODU, the maximum permitted length of the shielded copper Ethernet interface cable is 330 feet ( 100m) from ODU to the network interface equipment. Grounding and lightning protection Warning Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The recommendations in this guide, when followed correctly, give the user the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor possible. Structures, equipment and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by lightning) by conducting the surge current to ground via a separate preferential solid path. The actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. To adequately protect a PMP/PTP 450 Platform installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are required. Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the international standards IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 or section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code. Warning International and national standards take precedence over the requirements in this guide. Page 3-8 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Lightning protection zones Use the rolling sphere method (Figure 45) to determine where it is safe to mount equipment. An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), all the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection (Zone B). Similarly, where the sphere rests on two finials, the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection. Figure 45 Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones Zone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment in this zone. Zone B: In this zone, direct EMD (lightning) effects are still possible, but mounting in this zone significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike. Mount equipment in this zone. Warning Never mount equipment in Zone A. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment, structures and life at risk. Page 3-9 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Site grounding system Confirm that the site has a correctly installed grounding system on a common ground ring with access points for grounding the 450 Platform Family ODU. If the outdoor equipment is to be installed on the roof of a high building (Figure 42), confirm that the following additional requirements are met:
A grounding conductor is installed around the roof perimeter to form the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring. Air terminals are installed along the length of the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring, typically every 6.1m (20ft). The main roof perimeter lightning protection ring contains at least two down conductors connected to the grounding electrode system. The down conductors should be physically separated from one another, as far as practical. ODU and external antenna location Find a location for the ODU (and external antenna for connectorized units) that meets the following requirements:
The equipment is high enough to achieve the best radio path. People can be kept a safe distance away from the equipment when it is radiating. The safe separation distances are defined in Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-
24. The equipment is lower than the top of the supporting structure (tower, mast or building) or its lightning air terminal. If the ODU is connectorized, select a mounting position that gives it maximum protection from the elements, but still allows easy access for connecting and weatherproofing the cables. To minimize cable losses, select a position where the antenna cable lengths can be minimized. If diverse or two external antennas are being deployed, it is not necessary to mount the ODU at the midpoint of the antennas. ODU ambient temperature limits Select a location where the ODU can operate within safe ambient temperature limits. The following points need to be considered while selecting a location for the ODU:
The ODU must be mounted in a Restricted Access Location (as defined in EN 60950-1) if the operating ambient temperature may exceed 40C, including solar radiation. If the ambient temperature never exceeds 40C, the temperature of the external metal case parts of the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 70C. If the ambient temperature never exceeds 60C, the temperature of the external metal case parts of the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 90C. Page 3-10 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Note A restricted access location is defined (in EN 60950-1) as one where access may only be gained by use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location. Access must only be gained by persons who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that must be taken. Examples of permissible restricted access locations are a lockable equipment room or a lockable cabinet. ODU wind loading Ensure that the ODU and the structure on which it is mounted are capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds at a proposed 450 Platform site. Wind speed statistics are available from national meteorological offices. The ODU and its mounting bracket are capable of withstanding wind speeds of:
Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450m Series AP 5 GHz Up to 124 mph (Integrated) for PMP/PTP 450i all models 3 GHz and 5 GHz Up to 200 mph (Connectorized) for PMP/PTP 450i all models 3 GHz and 5 GHz Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP/PTP 450 all models Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450 Ruggedized Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450i all models 900 MHz Up to 118 mph (191 kph) for PMP 450b Up to 90 mph (145 kph) for PMP 450d Up to 100 mph (161 kph) for 900 MHz antennas Wind blowing on the ODU will subject the mounting structure to significant lateral force. The magnitude of the force depends on both wind strength and surface area of the ODU. Wind loading is estimated using the following formulae:
Force (in kilograms) = 0.1045aV2 where:
o o a is the surface area in square meters, and V is the wind speed in meters per second. Force (in pounds) = 0.0042Av2 where:

The drop cable shield must be grounded near the ODU at the first point of contact between the drop cable and the mast, tower or building. The drop cable shield must be grounded at the building entry point. For mast or tower installations (Figure 40), use the following additional criteria:
The drop cable shield must be grounded at the bottom of the tower, near the vertical to horizontal transition point. This ground cable must be bonded to the tower or tower ground bus bar (TGB), if installed. Page 3-15 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning If the tower is greater than 61 m (200 ft) in height, the drop cable shield must be grounded at the tower midpoint, and at additional points as necessary to reduce the distance between ground cables to 61 m (200 ft) or less. In high lightning-prone geographical areas, the drop cable shield must be grounded at spacing between 15 to 22 m (50 to 75 ft). This is especially important on towers taller than 45 m (150 ft). For roof installations (Figure 42), use the following additional criteria:
The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at its top entry point (usually on the roof). The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at the entry point to the equipment room. Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) location Find a location for the bottom LPU that meets the following requirements:
The bottom LPU can be connected to the drop cable from the ODU. The bottom LPU is within 600 mm (24 in) of the point at which the drop cable enters the building, enclosure or equipment room within a larger building. The bottom LPU can be bonded to the grounding system. Page 3-16 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Radio Frequency planning This section describes how to plan 450 Platform Family links to conform to analysis of spectrum and the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation. Regulatory limits Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the 450 Platform Family. Refer to Equipment Disposal (Chapter 10: Reference information) on page 10-49 to determine what the maximum transmitted power and EIRP for PMP/PTP 450 Plaftrom that can be used in each of countries and frequency band. Caution It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the PMP/PTP ODU is operated in accordance with local regulatory limits. Note Contact the applicable radio regulator to find out whether or not registration of the PMP/PTP 450 Platform link is required. Conforming to the limits Ensure the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements by configuring the PMP 450/450i Series AP or PTP 450/450i Series BHM for the correct country. In the following situations, this does not prevent operation outside the regulations:
When using connectorized ODUs with external antennas, the regulations may require the maximum transmit power to be reduced. Available spectrum The available spectrum for operation depends on the regulatory band. When configured appropriately, the unit will only allow operation on those channels which are permitted by the regulations. Page 3-17 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. The number and identity of channels barred in a given regulatory band is dependent on the channel bandwidth and channel raster selected. 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. Regardless of how these parameters are measured and log or chart the results (through the Spectrum Analyzer feature or by using a spectrum analyzer), ensure measurements are performed:
At various times of day. On various days of the week. Periodically into the future. As new RF neighbors move in or consumer devices proliferate in currently used spectrum, this keeps the user aware of the dynamic possibilities for interference within the network. Channel bandwidth Select the required channel bandwidth for the link. The selection depends upon the regulatory band selected. The wider the channel bandwidth, the greater the capacity. As narrower channel bandwidths take up less spectrum, selecting a narrow channel bandwidth may be a better choice when operating in locations where the spectrum is very busy. Both ends of the link must be configured to operate on the same channel bandwidth. Anticipating Reflection of Radio Waves In the signal path, any object that is larger than the wavelength of the signal can reflect the signal. Such an object can even be the surface of the earth or of a river, bay or lake. The wavelength of the signal is approximately 2 inches (or 5 cm) for 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz signals. 12 inches for 900 MHz signals A reflected signal can arrive at the antenna of the receiver later than the non-reflected signal arrives. These two or more signals cause the condition known as multipath. Multipath may increase or decrease the signal level, resulting in overall attenuation that may be higher or lower than that caused by the link distance. This is problematic at the margin of the link budget, where the standard operating margin (fade margin) may be compromised. Page 3-18 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Obstructions in the Fresnel Zone The Fresnel (pronounced freNEL) 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. Seasonal density, moisture content of the foliage, and other factors such as wind may change the amount of loss. Plan to perform frequent and regular link tests if you must transmit through foliage. Planning for co-location The first step to avoid interference in wireless systems is to set all AP/BHMs to receive timing from a synchronization source (Cluster Management Module, or Universal Global Positioning System). This ensures that the modules are in sync and start transmitting at the same time each frame. The second step to avoid interference is to configure parameters on all AP/BHMs 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/BHM attempting to receive the signal from a distant SM/BHS while a nearby AP/BHM transmits, which could overpower that signal. Note Refer to Frame Alignment Legacy Mode parameter of Configuration > Radio > Adavance tab for legacy product settings (See Table 142 PMP 450i AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-132).
(reserved) Contention slots The following parameters on the AP/BHM determine the transmit/receive ratio:
Downlink Data percentage Frame Period Max Range If OFDM (450 Platform Family, PMP/PTP 230) and FSK (PMP/PTP 1x0) APs/BHMs of the same frequency band and channel bandwidth are in proximity, or if you want BHMs set to different parameters then you must use the Frame Calculator to identify compatible settings for APs/BHMs. The co-location is also supported for 900 MHz PMP 450i Series APs (OFDM) and PMP 100 Series APs
(FSK). The Frame Calculator is available on the web management interface Tools > Frame Calculator. To use the Frame Calculator, type into the calculator various configurable parameter values for each proximal AP/BHM and then record the resulting AP/BHM Receive Start value. Next vary the Downlink Data percentage in each calculation and iterate until a calculated AP/BHM Receive Start for all co-located AP/BHMs where the transmit end does not come before the receive start. Cambium also provides co-location tool which helps in co-location planning:

However, this is only a recommendation. An installation may dictate a different pattern of channel assignments. Figure 46 Example layout of 16 Access Point sectors (ABCD), 90 degree sectors An example for assignment of frequency channels is provided in the following table. Table 76 Example 5.8 GHz 4-channel assignment by access site Symbol Frequency A B C D 5.740 GHz 5.780 GHz 5.760 GHz 5.800 GHz Page 3-20 Chapter 3: System planning Figure 47 Example layout of 6 Access Point sectors (ABC), 60 degree sectors Radio Frequency planning An example for assignment of frequency channels and sector IDs is provided in the following table. Table 77 Example 5.8 GHz 3-channel assignment by access site Symbol Frequency A B C 5.740 GHz 5.760 GHz 5.780 GHz Page 3-21 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Considerations on back-to-back frequency reuse Cambium Networks recommends to use back-to-back (ABAB) frequency reuse, as shown in Figure 46. This means that a base site of four sectors can be created using two frequencies, which works very well and helps define networks in situations where high capacity is required in a limited amount of spectrum. The conditions necessary to implement this plan are:
GPS synchronization: all the access points transmit at the same time Uplink and Downlink timings across APs do not overlap: they can be adjusted using the frame calculators and co-location tools provided by Cambium Uplink power control to ensure that all signals are received on the uplink at the same level: this is automatically enabled on all sectors There are no reflecting objects which are too large in the exclusion zones defined in this section. The SMs do not normally have line-of-sight (LoS) to an interfering base station. The worst case range ratio in Figure 46 is 5:1 which in LoS only gives 14 dB protection. Greater than 30 dB is required for 256QAM capability. Down tilt can be used to advantage when the elevation beamwidth is low. Also the range ratio applies to the longest distance SM, shorter distance SMs have a better range ratio. This frequency reuse plan may not always give 256QAM for the longest distance SMs. It is usually a good compromise between using more spectrum and guaranteed modulation rate. Reflecting objects Figure 48 shows two diagrams of the same reflecting object. Uplink interference demonstrates the situation when the two SMs are transmitting at the same time. SM2 should be received cleanly by the AP for Sector 3. At the same time interference can arise from SM1 via the reflecting object and cause a lower Signal-to-Interference ratio than required at AP3. This may either cause transmission errors which are corrected by ARQ or cause the selected modulation rate to be lowered. Either may cause a lower throughput from SM2 and therefore sector 3. Downlink interference shows the situation when AP3 interferes with SM1. Again the transmission may be reduced by errors or a reduction in modulation rate. Page 3-22 Chapter 3: System planning Figure 48 Reflection Radio Frequency planning Reflection likelihood guidance As shown in the previous section, reflection can cause a decrease in throughput in an ABAB base site. This section provides guidance on whether a reflection is likely to cause interference. The first condition for whether a reflection can cause the data rate to reduce is that the reflecting object must be in view of the AP and the SM in order to re-transmit the signal. If this is not the case, then the object cannot cause interference. Given that the potential reflecting object is seen by the AP and the SM, there are a range of object sizes and a range of zones where we can predict that interference will occur which may reduce the throughput when both sector 1 and sector 3 are carrying traffic. Figure 49 and Figure 50 show regions enumerated A, B, C, and D. We also need to consider objects of size 1, 2, 3 and 4 and define the areas where the objects may interfere. object size 1: a flat building face with a clear reflecting property from sector to AP object size 2: random metalwork such as a wireless tower object size 3: a 0.5 X 0.5m flat metallic face or tree object size 4: a 0.2 X 0.2m random metal structure or 0.5 X 0.5m foliage. The conditions for no interference are:
The size 1 object can interfere at large distances. It is necessary to look at the geometry by which reflection could occur and cause interference. Typically, this will occur at a restricted range of azimuths and ranges. size 2 outside zone B size 3 outside zone C size 4 outside zone D Page 3-23 Chapter 3: System planning Figure 49 Sector Antenna Radio Frequency planning Page 3-24 Chapter 3: System planning Figure 50 cnMedusa Antenna Radio Frequency planning Page 3-25 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Figure 49 and Figure 50 each have three diagrams scaled in meters where Figure 49 is for the sector antenna and Figure 50 is for cnMedusa. In each figure the distances and heights assume a typical down tilt of 4. In each figure the top diagram represents the clearances required at zero azimuth. The middle diagram represents the scaling required to the top diagram to allow for differences in azimuth of the considered reflecting object. The bottom diagram is the scaled version of the top diagram allowing for the dotted azimuth line in the middle diagram.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 51 PMP 450m Series AP antenna beam PMP 450m installation recommendations
. Page 3-26 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning For best performance it is recommended to have a clearance zone around the mast. The clearance zone depends on the surrounding environment and the antennas down tilt. If the mast is surrounded by metal then larger clearance is required compared to an environment where the antenna is surrounded by foliage SMs should be spread in azimuth of AP antenna 450m is susceptible to movement, for best MU-MIMO performance it is recommended that the 450m AP is mounted/installed on a mast that is extremely rigid (no movement and is 100% vertical). LINKPlanner can be used to plan SMs across the AP antenna azimuth Page 3-27 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. This information is necessary in order to achieve an accurate link feasibility assessment. The 450 Platform Family is designed to operate in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) and Line-of-Sight (LoS) environments. An NLOS environment is one in which there is no optical line-of-sight, that is, there are obstructions between the antennas. OFDM technology can often use multi-pathing to an advantage to overcome nLOS, especially in cases where the Fresnel zone is only partially blocked by buildings, urban canyons, or foliage. OFDM tends to help especially when obstacles are near the middle of the link, and less so when the obstacles are very near the ODU. However, attenuation through walls and trees is substantial for any use of the 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz frequency bands. The lower frequency radio waves of 900 MHz radios provide greater penetration through walls, trees and other obstacles, making it optimal for most non-line-of-sight applications. Even with OFDM, these products are not expected to penetrate walls or extensive trees and foliage. Path loss 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). The following calculation needs to be performed to judge whether a particular link can be installed:
L free _ space L excess L fade L seasonal L capability Where:

space _ freeL L excess L fade L seasona Free Space Path Loss (dB) Excess Path Loss (dB) Fade Margin Required (dB) Seasonal Fading (dB) Page 3-28 Chapter 3: System planning L capability Equipment Capability (dB) Link planning Calculating Link Loss The link loss is the total attenuation of the wireless signal between two point-to-multipoint units. The link loss calculation is presented below:
Link Loss (dB) = Transmit power of the remote wireless unit (dBm) Tx Cable loss (dB) Received power at the local unit (dBm) Rx cable loss (dB) + Antenna gain at the remote unit (dBi) + Antenna gain at the local unit (dBi) Calculating Rx Signal Level The determinants in Rx signal level are illustrated in Figure 52. Figure 52 Determinants in Rx signal level Rx signal level is calculated as follows:
Rx signal level dB = Tx power Tx cable loss + Tx antenna gain free space path loss + Rx antenna gain Rx cable loss Note This Rx signal level calculation presumes that a clear line of sight is established between the transmitter and receiver and that no objects encroach in the Fresnel zone. Page 3-29 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. A higher fade margin is characteristic of a more reliable link. Adaptive modulation Adaptive modulation ensures that the highest throughput that can be achieved instantaneously will be obtained, taking account of propagation and interference. When the link has been installed, web pages provide information about the link loss currently measured by the equipment, both instantaneously and averaged. The averaged value will require maximum seasonal fading to be added, and then the radio reliability of the link can be computed. For details of the system throughput, link loss and maximum distance for each frequency band in all modulation modes, see Link on page 10-45. Page 3-30 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. However the integrated units may not be sufficient in some areas, for example:
Where the path is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an NLOS link. Where long LOS links are required. Where there are known to be high levels of interference. In these areas, connectorized ODUs and external antennas should be used. Choosing external antennas When selecting external antennas, consider the following factors:
The required antenna gain. Ease of mounting and alignment. Use dual-polarization antenna (as the integrated antenna). Note Enter the antenna gain and cable loss into the Installation Wizard, if the country selected has an EIRP limit, the corresponding maximum transmit power will be calculated automatically by the unit. Calculating RF cable length (5.8 GHz FCC only) The 5.8 GHz band FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the ODU and antenna of not less than 1.2 dB. If cable loss is below 1.2 dB with a 1.3 m (4 ft) diameter external antenna, the connectorized 450 Platform Family may exceed the maximum radiated spurious emissions allowed under FCC 5.8 GHz rules. Cable loss depends mainly upon cable type and length. To meet or exceed the minimum loss of 1.2 dB, use cables of the type and length specified in Table 78 (source: Times Microwave). This data excludes connector losses. Table 78 RF cable lengths required to achieve 1.2 dB loss at 5.8 GHz RF cable type Minimum cable length Page 3-31 Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units LMR100 LMR200 LMR300 LMR400 LMR600 0.6 m (1.9 ft) 1.4 m (4.6 ft) 2.2 m (7.3 ft) 3.4 m (11.1 ft) 5.0 m (16.5 ft) Page 3-32 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. The first segment identifies the network. The second identifies the hosts or devices on the network. The subnet mask marks a boundary between these two sub-addresses. Dynamic or static addressing For any computer to communicate with a module, the computer must be configured to either use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). In this case, when not connected to the network, the computer derives an IP address on the 169.254 network within two minutes. have an assigned static IP address (for example, 169.254.1.5) on the 169.254 network. Note If an IP address that is set in the module is not the 169.254.x.x network address, then the network operator must assign the computer a static IP address in the same subnet. 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. When a computer is brought on line and a DHCP server is not accessible (such as when the server is down or the computer is not plugged into the network), Microsoft and Apple operating systems default to an IP address of 169.254.x.x and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (169.254/16, where /16 indicates that the first 16 bits of the address range are identical among all members of the subnet). Page 3-33 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning DNS Client The DNS Client is used to resolve names of management servers within the operators management domain (see Figure 53). 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. Figure 53 Cambium networks management domain Network Address Translation (NAT) NAT, DHCP Server, DHCP Client and DMZ in SM The system provides NAT (network address translation) for SMs in the following combinations of NAT and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
NAT Disabled NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP Server NAT with DHCP Client(DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) NAT with DHCP Server NAT without DHCP NAT NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet/wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic (separate from its address for management), terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet/wired side of the SM. Page 3-34 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. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each SM provides:
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. The first three octets of this IP address must be identical to the first three octets of the NAT private IP address. 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 must either:
Assign a non-routable IP address. Assign a routable IP address only if a firewall is present to protect the module. You assign an IP addresses to computers and network components by either static or dynamic IP addressing. You will also assign the appropriate subnet mask and network gateway to each module. Address Resolution Protocol As previously stated, the MAC address identifies a module in:
Communications between modules. The data that modules store about each other. The IP address is essential for data delivery through a router interface. Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) correlates MAC addresses to IP addresses. Page 3-35 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning 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. For each router between the sending module and the destination, this sequence applies. The ARP correlation is stored until the ARP cache times out. Allocating subnets The subnet mask is a 32-bit binary number that filters the IP address. Where a subnet mask contains a bit set to 1, the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network address. Example IP address and subnet mask In Figure 54, the first 16 bits of the 32-bit IP address identify the network:
Figure 54 Example of IP address in Class B subnet Octet 1 Octet 4 IP address 169.254.1.1 10101001 11111110 00000001 00000001 Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 11111111 11111111 00000000 00000000 Octet 2 Octet 3 In this example, the network address is 169.254 and 216 (65,536) hosts are addressable. IP address of 169.254.1.1 Selecting non-routable IP addresses The factory default assignments for network elements are:
Unique MAC address Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 Network gateway address of 169.254.0.0 For each radio and CMM4, assign an IP address that is both consistent with the IP addressing plan for your network and cannot be accessed from the Internet. IP addresses within the following ranges are not routable from the Internet, regardless of whether a firewall is configured:
10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255 Also, the subnet mask and network gateway for each CMM4 can be assigned. 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:
Page 3-36 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Not more than 128 IP devices at any time are valid to send data to the AP from behind the SM. SM populates the Translation Table tab of its Statistics web page, displaying the MAC address and IP address of all the valid connected devices. Each entry in the Translation Table is associated with the number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM. If 128 are connected, and another attempts to connect:
o o If no Translation Table entry is older than 255 minutes, the attempt is ignored. If an entry is older than 255 minutes, the oldest entry is removed and the attempt is successful. The Send Untranslated ARP parameter in the General tab of the Configuration page can be:
o Disabled, so that the AP overwrites the MAC address in ARP packets before forwarding them. o Enabled, so that the AP forwards ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. This is the Translation Bridging feature, which you can enable in the General page of the Configuration web page in the AP. When this feature is disabled, the setting of the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect, because all packets are forwarded untranslated (with the source MAC address intact). See Address Resolution Protocol on Page 3-35. Engineering VLANs The radios support VLAN functionality as defined in the 802.1Q (Virtual LANs) specification, except for the following aspects of that specification:
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) Embedded source routing (ERIF) in the 802.1Q header Multicast pruning Flooding unknown unicast frames in the downlink As an additional exception, the AP/BHM does not flood downward the unknown unicast frames to the SM/BHS. A VLAN configuration in Layer 2 establishes a logical group within the network. Each computer in the VLAN, regardless of initial or eventual physical location, has access to the same data. For the network operator, this provides flexibility in network segmentation, simpler management, and enhanced security. Page 3-37 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Special case VLAN numbers This system handles special case VLAN numbers according to IEEE specifications:
Table 79 Special case VLAN IDs VLAN Number 0 1 Purpose These packets have 802.1p priority, but are otherwise handled as untagged. Usage Constraint Must not be used as a management VLAN. Although not noted as special case by IEEE specifications, these packets identify traffic that was untagged upon ingress into the SM and must remain untagged upon egress. This policy is hard-coded in the AP. Must not be used for system VLAN traffic. 4095 This VLAN is reserved for internal use. Must not be used at all. 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. The network operator can define a work group of SMs, regardless of the AP(s) to which they register. Page 3-38 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning PMP 450 Platform Family modules provide the VLAN frame filters that are described in Table 80. Table 80 VLAN filters in point-to-multipoint modules Where VLAN is active, if this parameter value is selected any combination of VLAN parameter settings any combination of VLAN parameter settings Allow Frame Types:
Tagged Frames Only Allow Frame Types:
Untagged Frames Only Local SM Management:
Disable in the SM, or All Local SM Management:
Disable in the AP any combination of VLAN parameter settings any combination of VLAN parameter settings then a frame is discarded if entering the bridge/
NAT switch through Ethernet with a VID not in the membership table TCP/IP because of this VLAN filter in the software:
Ingress with a VID not in the membership table Local Ingress with no 802.1Q tag with an 802.1Q tag, regardless of VID with an 802.1Q tag and a VID in the membership table Only Tagged Only Untagged Local SM Management leaving the bridge/
NAT switch through Ethernet with a VID not in the membership table TCP/IP Egress with a VID not in the membership table Local Egress 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 a 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. 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. Page 3-39 Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning VLAN settings can also cause the module to convert received non-VLAN packets into VLAN packets. In this case, the 802.1p priority in packets leaving the module is set to the priority established by the DiffServ configuration. If VLAN is enabled, immediately monitor traffic to ensure that the results are as desired. For example, high-priority traffic may block low-priority. Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) Tagging (802.1ad) PMP and PTP modules can be configured with 802.1ad Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) tagging which is a way for an operator to put an 802.1Q VLAN inside of an 802.1ad VLAN. A nested VLAN, which is the original 802.1Q tag and a new second 802.1ad tag, allows for bridging of VLAN traffic across a network and segregates the broadcast domains of 802.1Q VLANs. Q-in-Q can be used with PPPoE and/or NAT. The 802.1ad standard defines the S-VLAN as the Service Provider VLAN and the C-VLAN as the customer VLAN. The radio software does 2 layer Q-in-Q whereby the C-VLAN is the 802.1Q tag and the S-VLAN is the second layer Q tag as shown in Table 81. Table 81 Q-in-Q Ethernet frame Ethernet Header S-VLAN EthType 0x88a8 C-VLAN EthType 0x8100 IP Data EthType 0x0800 The 802.1ad S-VLAN is the outer VLAN that is configurable on the Configuration > VLAN web page of the AP/BHM. The Q-in-Q EtherType parameter is configured with a default EtherType of 0x88a8 in addition to four alternate EtherTypes that can be configured to aid in interoperability with existing networks that use a different EtherType than the default. The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top level concept, this operates on the outermost tag at any given time, either pushing a tag on or popping a tag off. This means packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag pushed on) or an untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag popped off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.1Q frame (with the tag popped off) since the radio software only supports 2 levels of tags. Page 3-40 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. warmStart, which signals that the SNMPv2c element is reinitializing such that its configuration is unaltered. authenticationFailure, which signals that the SNMPv2c element has received a protocol message that is not properly authenticated (contingent on the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object setting). linkDown, as defined in RFC 1573 linkUp, as defined in RFC 1573 egpNeighborLoss, as defined in RFC 1213 whispGPSInSync, which signals a transition from not synchronized to synchronized. whispGPSOutSync, which signals a transition from synchronized to not synchronized. whispRegComplete, which signals registration completed. whispRegLost, which signals registration lost. whispRadarDetected, which signals that the one-minute scan has been completed, radar has been detected and the radio will shut down. whispRadarEnd, which signals that the one-minute scan has been completed, radar has not been detected and the radio will resume normal operation. Note The proprietary MIBs are provided in the 450 Platform Family software download files in the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1). Enabling SNMP Enable the SNMP interface for use by configuring the following attributes in the SNMP Configuration page:
SNMP State (default disabled) SNMP Version (default SNMPv2c) SNMP Port Number (default 161) Page 3-41 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. 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.
/16 subnets have 16 reserved networks, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255.
/24 subnets have 256 reserved networks, 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Encrypting radio transmissions Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP systems employ the following form of encryption for security of the wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. The default encryption setting for 450 Platform Family ODU is "None". Page 3-42 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Planning for HTTPS operation Before starting to configure HTTPS operation, ensure that the cryptographic material listed in Table 82 is available. Table 82 HTTPS security material Item User Defined Security Banner Port numbers for HTTP, HTTPS and Telnet Description 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. Quantity required Normally one per link. This depends upon network policy. Port numbers allocated by the network. As allocated by network. Planning for SNMPv3 operation SNMP security mode Decide how SNMPv3 security will be configured. MIB-based security management uses standard SNMPv3 MIBs to configure the user-based security model and the view-based access control model. This approach provides considerable flexibility, allowing a network operator to tailor views and security levels appropriate for different types of user. MIB-based security management may allow a network operator to take advantage of built-in security management capabilities of existing network managers. Web-based security management allows an operator to configure users, security levels, privacy and authentication protocols, and passphrases using the 450 Platform Family web-based management interface. The capabilities supported are somewhat less flexible than those supported using the MIB-
based security management, but will be sufficient in many applications. Selection of web-based management for SNMPv3 security disables the MIB-based security management. 450 Platform Family does not support concurrent use of MIB-based and web-based management of SNMPv3 security. Web-based management of SNMPv3 security Initial configuration of SNMPv3 security is available only to HTTP or HTTPS user accounts with security role of Security Officer. Identify the format used for SNMP Engine ID. The following formats are available:
MAC address (default) 5 and 32 hex characters (the hex character input is driven by RFC 3411 recommendations on the Engine ID) Identify the user names and security roles of initial SNMPv3 users. Two security roles are available:
Page 3-43 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning 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. If privacy will be used, identify the protocol. The privacy protocol available is cbc-des. Managing module access by passwords From the factory, each module has a preconfigured administrator-level account in the name root, which initially requires no associated password. When you upgrade a module:
An account is created in the name admin. Both admin and root inherit the password that was previously used to access the module, if:
o Full Access password, if one was set. o Display-Only Access password, if one was set and no Full Access password was set. Caution If you use Wireless Manager, do not delete the root account from any module. If you use a NMS that communicates with modules through SNMP, do not delete the root account from any module unless you first can confirm that the NMS does not rely on the root account for access to the modules. Each module supports four or fewer user accounts, regardless of account levels. The available levels are ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of the root and admin users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of them creates. INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR except that the installer cannot add or delete users or change the password of any other user. TECHNICIAN, who has permissions to modify basic radio parameters and view informational web pages. GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status tab. Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to only see the items. The ability to view information of General Status tab can be controlled by the "Site Information Viewable to Guest Users" under the SNMP tab. 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. Page 3-44 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning After a password has been set for any ADMINISTRATOR-level account, initial access to the module GUI opens the view of GUEST level. Planning for RADIUS operation Configure RADIUS where remote authentication is required for users of the web-based interface. Remote authentication has the following advantages:
Control of passwords can be centralized. Management of user accounts can be more sophisticated. For example; users can be prompted by a network manager to change passwords at regular intervals. As another example, passwords can be checked for inclusion of dictionary words and phrases. Passwords can be updated without reconfiguring multiple network elements. User accounts can be disabled without reconfiguring multiple network elements. Remote authentication has one significant disadvantage in a wireless link product such as 450 Platform Family. If the wireless link is down, a unit on the remote side of the broken link may be prevented from contacting a RADIUS Server, with the result that users are unable to access the web-based interface. One useful strategy would be to combine RADIUS authentication for normal operation with a single locally-authenticated user account for emergency use. PMP 450 Platform Family SM provides a choice of the following authentication methods:
Phase 1:
o EAP-MSCHAPv2 o EAP-TTLS o EAP PEAP Phase 2:
o PAP o CHAP o MSCHAPv2 Ensure that the authentication method selected in 450 Platform Family is supported by the RADIUS server. Filtering protocols and ports Configure filters for specified protocols and ports from leaving the AP/BHM and SM/BHS and entering the network. This protects the network from both intended and inadvertent packet loading or probing by network users. By keeping the specified protocols or ports off the network, this feature also provides a level of protection to users from each other. 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. Page 3-45 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Port Filtering with NAT Enabled Where NAT is enabled on the SM/BHS, the filtering can be enabled for only the user-defined ports. The following are examples for situations where the configure port can be filtered 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. To block a subscriber from access to SNMP, you can filter Ports 161 and 162 (the SNMP ports) for both the TCP and UDP protocols. Note In only the SNMP case, filtering occurs before the packet interacts with the protocol stack. Protocol and Port Filtering with NAT Disabled Where NAT is disabled on the SM/BHS, the filtering can be enabled for both protocols and the three user-
defined ports. Using the check boxes on the interface, it can be either:
Allow all protocols except those that user wish to block. Block all protocols except those that user wish to allow. Allow or block any of the following protocols:
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) Any or all of the following IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) protocols:
Any or all of the following IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) protocols:
o SMB (Network Neighborhood) o SNMP o Bootp Client o Bootp Server o Up to 3 user-defined ports o All other IPv4 traffic (see Figure 29) Any or all of the following IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) protocols:
o SMB (Network Neighborhood) o SNMP o Bootp Client o Bootp Server o Up to 3 user-defined ports o All other IPv6 traffic (see Figure 29) Filter Direction Upstream and Downstream ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Page 3-46 Chapter 3: System planning Figure 55 Categorical protocol filtering Security planning BootP Client BootP Server SNMP User Defined Port 1 All Other IPv4 User Defined Port 2 User Defined Port 3 PPPoE All Others IPv4 Multica st SMB ARP The following are example situations in which the protocol filtering is configured where NAT is disabled:
If a subscriber is blocked from only PPPoE and SNMP, then the subscriber retains access to all other protocols and all ports. If PPPoE, IPv4, and Uplink Broadcast are blocked, and also check the All others selection, then only Address Resolution Protocol is not filtered. The ports filtered as a result of protocol selections in the Protocol Filtering tab of the SM/BHS are listed in Table 83. Page 3-47 Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Table 83 Ports filtered per protocol selections Protocol Selected SMB SNMP Bootp Client Port Filtered (Blocked) Destination Ports UDP : 137, 138, 139, 445, 3702 and 1900 Destination Ports TCP : 137, 138, 139, 445, 2869, 5357 and 5358 Destination Ports TCP and UDP : 161 and 162 Source Port 68 UDP Bootp Server User Defined Port 1..3 IPv4 Multicast Source Port 67 UDP User defined ports for filtering UDP and TCP Block IPv4 packet types except other filters defined IPv6 Multicast ARP Upstream Downstream Block IPv6 packet types except other filters defined Filter all Ethernet packet type 806 Applies packet filtering to traffic coming into the FEC interface Applies packet filtering to traffic destined to exit the FEC interface Port Configuration 450 Platform Family supports access to various communication protocols and only the ports required for these protocols are available for access by external entities. Operators may change the port numbers for these protocols via the radio GUI or SNMP.

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. Isolating SMs in PMP In an AP, SMs in the sector can be prevented from directly communicating with each other. In CMM4, the connected APs can be prevented from directly communicating with each other, which prevents SMs that are in different sectors of a cluster from communicating with each other. In the AP, the SM Isolation parameter is available in the General tab of the Configuration web page. Configure the SM Isolation feature by any of the following selections from drop-down menu:
Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs. Enable Option 1 - Block SM destined packets from being forwarded. This prevents both multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication. Enable Option 2 - Forward SM destined packets upstream. This not only prevents multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends the packets, which otherwise may have been handled SM to SM, through the Ethernet port of the AP. In the CMM and the CMM4, SM isolation treatment is the result of how to manage the port-based VLAN feature of the embedded switch, where all traffic can be switched from any AP to a specified uplink port. However, this is not packet level switching. It is not based on VLAN IDs. Filtering management through Ethernet Configure the SM to disallow any device that is connected to its Ethernet port from accessing the IP address of the SM. If the Ethernet Access Control parameter is set to Enabled, then:
No attempt to access the SM management interface (by http, SNMP, ftp, or tftp) through Ethernet is granted. 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. Page 3-49 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). If the selection is:
IP Access Filtering Disabled, then management access is allowed from any IP address, even if the Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 parameters are populated. IP Access Filtering Enabled, and specify at least one address in the Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 parameter, then management access is limited to the specified address(es). Configuring management IP by DHCP The Configuration > IP web page of every radio contains a LAN1 Network Interface Configuration, DHCP State parameter that, if enabled, causes the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) to be obtained through DHCP instead of the values of those individual parameters. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable, but is not settable, in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. In the SM/BHS, this parameter is settable in the NAT tab of the Configuration web page, but only if NAT is enabled. in the IP tab of the Configuration web page, but only if the Network Accessibility parameter in the IP tab is set to Public. DHCP option 81 The DHCP server can be used to register and update the pointer (PTR) and host (A) DNS resource records on behalf of its DHCP-enabled clients. The DHCP option 81 permits the client to provide its fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as well as instructions to the DHCP server on how it would like the server to process DNS dynamic updates (if any) on its behalf. The hostname is poplulated as SiteName.DomainName depending upon following conditions:
The SiteName should only be a-z | A-Z | 0-9 and period(.) and dash(-). The domain name part should not start or end with dash (-). The underscore or space in domain name part will be converted to dash(-), anything else apart from If Sitename is default i.e. No Site Name , mac address will be used instead. valid characters will be skipped. Page 3-50 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. When set to Disabled, the AP does NOT allow PPPoE PADI packets to be sent out of the AP RF interface (downstream) but will allow PPPoE PADI packets to enter the RF interface
(upstream) and exit the Ethernet interface. Page 3-51 Chapter 3: System planning Remote AP Deployment Remote AP Deployment reach around obstructions or penetrate foliage with non-LoS throughput. reach new, especially widely distributed, residential subscribers with broadband service. In cases where the subscriber population is widely distributed, or conditions such as geography restrict network deployment, you can add a Remote AP to:
provide high-throughput service to near LoS business subscribers. pass sync to an additional RF hop. In the remote AP configuration, a remote AP is co-located with an SM. The remote AP distributes the signal to SMs that are logically behind the co-located SM. A remote AP deployment is illustrated in Figure 56. Figure 56 Remote AP deployment The co-located SM receives data in one channel, and the remote AP must redistribute the data in a different channel. The two channels need to have a frequency gap equal to at least two times the used channel bandwidth. Base your selection of frequency band ranges on regulatory restrictions, environmental conditions, and throughput requirements. Note Each relay hop (additional daisy-chained remote AP) adds approximately 5-7 msec round trip latency. Page 3-52 Chapter 3: System planning Remote AP Deployment Remote AP (RAP) Performance The performance of a remote AP is identical to the AP performance in cluster. Throughputs, ranges, and antenna coverage are identical. As with all equipment operating in the unlicensed spectrum, Cambium strongly recommends that you perform site surveys before you add network elements. These will indicate that spectrum is available in the area where you want to grow. Keep in mind that:
non-LoS ranges heavily depend on environmental conditions. in most regions, not all frequencies are available. your deployments must be consistent with local regulatory restrictions. 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 5 GHz AP. In this case, the ability of the 900-MHz wavelength to be effective around foliage at short range solves the foliage penetration problem. An example of this use case is shown in Figure 57. In this example, the 5 GHz AP is a PMP 450i AP in the 5.8 GHz band operating on a 20 MHz channel with a 2.5 ms frame; the SMs are 5 GHz PMP 450 integrated SMs. The SM connected to the remote AP is a PMP 450i SM. The remote AP is a PMP 450i AP in the 900 MHz band, also operating in a 20 MHz channel with a 2.5 ms frame; the SMs are 900 MHz PMP 450 connectorized SMs using the Cambium 23 dBi gain antenna. Page 3-53 Chapter 3: System planning Figure 57 Example for 900-MHz remote AP behind 5 GHz SM Remote AP Deployment The 5 GHz modules provide a sustained aggregate throughput of up to 126 Mbps to the sector. One of the SMs in the sector is wired to a 900-MHz remote AP, which provides NLoS sustained aggregate throughput2 of:
126 Mbps to 900-MHz SMs up to 4 miles away in the sector. 94 Mbps to 900-MHz SMs between 4 and 10 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. However, not all devices are compatible with all other devices. The following table shows which SMs can be connected to which APs. Devices PMP 450 AP/BHM PMP 450i AP/BHM PMP 450m AP PMP 450 SM/BHS PMP 450i SM/BHS X X X Examples of passing sync over cable are shown under Passing Sync in an Additional Hop on page 3-57. 2 NLoS ranges depend on environmental conditions. Your results may vary from these. Page 3-54 Chapter 3: System planning Remote AP Deployment For PMP 450, the sync is passed in a cable that connects Pins 1 and 6 of the RJ-11 timing ports of the two modules. For PMP 450i/450m the sync is passed in a cable that connects Pins7 and 8 of the RJ-45 timing ports of the two modules. When connecting modules in this way, make sure the AP and SM are properly configured, as described in the Wiring to Extend Network Sync. Physical Connections Involving the Remote AP The SM to which a remote AP is connected to can be either an SM that serves a customer or an SM that simply serves as a relay. If the SM serves a customer, wire the remote AP to the SM as shown in Figure 58. Figure 58 Remote AP wired to SM that also serves a customer If 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 59. Page 3-55 Chapter 3: System planning Figure 59 Remote AP wired to SM that serves as a relay Remote AP Deployment Page 3-56 Remote AP Deployment Chapter 3: System planning Passing Sync signal Passing Sync in a Single Hop Network sync can be passed in a single hop in the following network designs:
Design 1 o A CMM provides sync to a co-located AP. o This AP sends the sync over the air to SMs. Design 2 o A CMM provides sync to a co-located BH timing master. o This BH timing master sends the sync over the air to a BH timing slave. Passing Sync in an Additional Hop Network sync can be extended by one additional link in any of the following network designs:
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 2.4 GHz 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 60. Figure 60 Additional link to extend network sync, Design 3 Design 4 Page 3-57 Remote AP Deployment Chapter 3: System planning 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 BHM. o This BHM passes the sync in the additional link over the air to a BHS. This design is illustrated in Figure 61.

Page 3-59 Chapter 3: System planning Remote AP Deployment Wiring to Extend Network Sync The following procedure can be used to extend network sync by one additional hop, as described under Passing Sync in an Additional Hop on page 3-57. When a co-located module receives sync over the air, the co-located modules can be wired to pass the sync as follows:
1. Connect the GPS Utility ports of the co-located modules using a sync cable with RJ-11 (for 450) or RJ-45 (for 450i/450m) connectors. 2. Set the Sync Input parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located AP or BH timing master to AutoSync. 3. Set the Device Type parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located AP or BH timing master to Remote. 4. Set the Sync Output to Aux Port parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located AP or BH timing master to Disabled. 5. Set the UGPS Power parameter on the Configuration page of the co-located AP or BH timing master to Disabled. 6. 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.

See the ICNIRP web site at http://www.icnirp.de/ and Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields. Power density exposure limit Install the radios for the 450 Platform Family of wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from all persons. The applicable FCC power density exposure limit for RF energy in the 4.9, 5.4 and 5.8 GHz frequency bands is 10 W/m2 and in 900 MHz frequency band is 6 W/m2. For more information, see Human exposure to radio frequency energy on page 4-22. The applicable ISEDC power density exposure limit for RF energy in unlicensed bands is 0.02619 *
(f^(0.6834)), where f is the lowest frequency of the supported band. For licensed bands, the power density exposure limit is 0.6455 * (f^(0.5)), where f is the lowest frequency of the supported band. Page 4-23 Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Compliance with safety standards Calculation of power density The following calculation is based on the ANSI IEEE C95.1-1991 method, as that provides a worst case analysis. Details of the assessment to EN50383:2002 can be provided, if required. Peak power density in the far field of a radio frequency point source is calculated as follows:
S
. GP 4 d 2 Where:
S P G d Is:
power density in W/m2 maximum average transmit power capability of the radio, in W total Tx gain as a factor, converted from dB distance from point source, in m d
. GP
.4 S Rearranging terms to solve for distance yields:
Calculated distances and power compliance margins Table 88 and Table 89 shows calculated minimum separation distances, recommended distances and resulting margins for each frequency band and antenna combination for the USA and Canada. These are conservative distances that include compliance margins. At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below generally accepted limits for the general population. 450 Platform Family ODU adheres to all applicable EIRP limits for transmit power when operating in MIMO mode. Separation distances and compliance margins include compensation for both transmitters. Explanation of terms used in Table 88 and Table 89:

The regulations require that the power used for the calculations is the maximum power in the transmit burst subject to allowance for source-based time-averaging. At 5.4 GHz and EU 5.8 GHz, the products are generally limited to a fixed EIRP which can be achieved with the Integrated Antenna. The calculations above assume that the maximum EIRP allowed by the regulations is being transmitted. Remarque Gain de l'antenne en dBi = 10 * log(G). Les rglements exigent que la puissance utilise pour les calculs soit la puissance maximale de la rafale de transmission soumis une rduction pour prendre en compte le rapport cyclique pour les signaux moduls dans le temps. Pour une opration dans la CEE dans les bandes 5,4 GHz et 5,8 GHz, les produits sont gnralement limits une PIRE qui peut tre atteinte avec l'antenne intgre. Les calculs ci-dessus supposent que la PIRE maximale autorise par la rglementation est atteinte. Note If there are no EIRP limits in the country of deployment, use the distance calculations for FCC 5.8 GHz for all frequency bands. At FCC 5.8 GHz, for antennas between 0.6m (2ft) and 1.8m (6ft), alter the distance proportionally to the antenna gain. Remarque Si aucune limite de PIRE existe pour le pays de dploiement, utilisez les calculs de distance pour FCC 5,8 GHz pour toutes les bandes de frquence. Pour la band FCC 5,8 GHz et les antennes entre 0,6 m (2 pieds) et 1,8 m (6 pieds), modifier la distance proportionnellement au gain de l'antenne.

Regulatory Requirements for CEPT Member States
(www.cept.org) When operated in accordance with the instructions for use, Cambium Wireless equipment operating in the 5.1 GHz and 5.4 GHz bands is compliant with CEPT Resolution 229 (REV. WRC-12). Operating the 450 Platform Family in the bands 5150 to 5350 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz is granted providing it is not causing interference to the existing primary services allocated to those bands. For compliant operation in the 5250 to 5350 MHz band, the transmit power from the integrated antenna or a connectorized antenna shall be limited to a maximum mean EIRP of 200 mW and a maximum mean EIRP density of 10 mW/MHz in any 1 MHz band. For compliant operation in the 5470 to 5725 MHz band, the transmit power shall be restricted to a maximum of 250 mW with a maximum mean EIRP of 1 W and a maximum mean EIRP density of 50 mW/MHz in any 1 MHz band. Page 4-36 Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Compliance with radio regulations For compliant operation in the bands 5 250-5 350 MHz and 5 470-5 725 MHz, the 450 Platform Family employs transmitter power control. For EU member states, RLAN equipment in the 5.4GHz bands is exempt from individual licensing under Commission Recommendation 2003/203/EC. Contact the appropriate national administrations for details on the conditions of use for the bands in question and any exceptions that might apply. Also see www.ero.dk for further information. Cambium Radio equipment operating in the 5470 to 5725 MHz band are categorized as Class 1 devices within the EU in accordance with ECC DEC(04)08 and are CE marked to show compliance with the European Radio & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (R&TTE) directive 1999/5/EC. The relevant Declaration of Conformity can be found at http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support/ec_doc/ . A European Commission decision, implemented by Member States on 31 October 2005, makes the frequency band 5470-5725 MHz available in all EU Member States for wireless access systems. Under this decision, the designation of Canopy 5.4GHz products become Class 1 devices and these do not require notification under article 6, section 4 of the R&TTE Directive. Consequently, these 5.4GHz products are only marked with the symbol and may be used in any member state. Page 4-37 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation This chapter describes how to stage and test the hardware for a 450 Platform network. This chapter is arranged as follows:
Safety on page 5-2: Describes the precautions to be observed and checks to be performed before proceeding with the installation Preparing for installation on page 5-5: Describes the pre-configuration procedure before proceed with installation. Testing system components on page 5-7: Describes the procedures for unpacking and performing and initial staging of the 450 Platform Family ODU. Configuring Link for Test on page 5-16: Describes the procedures for testing the equipments radio links. Page 5-1 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Safety Safety Warning To prevent loss of life or physical injury, observe the following safety guidelines. In no event shall Cambium Networks be liable for any injury or damage caused during the installation of the Cambium 450 Platform Family. Ensure that only qualified personnel install a 450 Platform link. Hazardous locations Warning When installing the PMP/PTP 450i ATEX/HAZLOC product variants in hazardous locations, follow the instructions contained in the PMP/PTP 450i Series Hazardous Location Guide
(supplied in box with the products), in addition to the instructions in this user guide. Power lines Exercise extreme care when working near power lines. Working at heights Exercise extreme care when working at heights. Power supply Always use one of the Cambium 450 Platform Family power supply units (PSU) to power the ODU. Failure to use a Cambium supplied PoE could result in equipment damage and will invalidate the safety certification and may cause a safety hazard. Grounding and protective earth The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It is the users responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with national regulations. In the USA follow the requirements of the National Electrical code NFPA 70-2005 and 780-2004 Installation of Lightning Protection Systems. In Canada, follow Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. Other regulations may apply in different countries and therefore it is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a professional installer. Page 5-2 Safety Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Powering down before servicing Always power down and unplug the equipment before servicing. Primary disconnect device The ODU power supply is the primary disconnect device. External cables Safety may be compromised if outdoor rated cables are not used for connections that will be exposed to the outdoor environment. For outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet interfaces, always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel. RF exposure near the antenna Strong radio frequency (RF) fields will be present close to the antenna when the transmitter is on. Always turn off the power to the ODU before undertaking maintenance activities in front of the antenna. Minimum separation distances Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units start to radiate RF energy as soon as they are powered up. Never work in front of the antenna when the ODU is powered. Install the ODUs so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from all persons. For minimum separation distances, see Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-24. Grounding and lightning protection requirements Ensure that the installation meets the requirements defined in Grounding and lightning protection on page 3-8. Grounding cable installation methods To provide effective protection against lightning induced surges, observe these requirements:
Grounding conductor runs are as short, straight and smooth as possible, with bends and curves kept to a minimum. Grounding cables must not be installed with drip loops. Page 5-3 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Safety All bends must have a minimum radius of 200 mm (8 in) and a minimum angle of 90. A diagonal run is preferable to a bend, even though it does not follow the contour or run parallel to the supporting structure. All bends, curves and connections must be routed towards the grounding electrode system, ground rod, or ground bar. Grounding conductors must be securely fastened. Braided grounding conductors must not be used. Approved bonding techniques must be used for the connection of dissimilar metals. Siting ODUs and antennas ODUs, external antennas and GPS receivers are not designed to survive direct lightning strikes. For this reason they must be installed in Zone B as defined in Lightning protection zones on page 3-9. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment, structures and life at risk. Thermal Safety The ODU enclosure may be hot to the touch when in operation. The ODU must not be operated in ambient temperatures exceeding 40C unless mounted in a Restricted Access Location. For more information, see ODU ambient temperature limits on page 3-10. Warning Do not install the ODU in a location where the ambient temperature could exceed 40C unless this is a Restricted Access Location as defined by EN 60950-1. Alerte Lunit externe ne doit pas tre installe dans un endroit o la temprature ambiante est suprieure 40C moins que laccs soit limit au personnel autoris. Page 5-4 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Preparing for installation Preparing for installation ODU pre-configuration It is common practice to pre-configure the units during staging before site installation by performing the following tasks:
Connecting to the unit Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Upgrading the software version and using CNUT General configuration Configuring security Configuring radio parameters Setting up SNMP agent Configuring syslog Configuring remote access Monitoring the Link Configuring quality of service Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Configuring Radio via config file Configuring a RADIUS server If the units are to be pre-configured during staging, the safety precautions below MUST be observed. Preparing personnel In no event shall Cambium Networks be liable for any injury or damage caused during the installation of the Cambium 450 Platform Family ODU. Ensure that only qualified personnel undertake the installation of a 450 Platform system. Ensure that all safety precautions are observed. Preparing inventory Perform the following inventory checks:
Check that the correct components are available, as described in Ordering the components on page 2-60. Check the contents of all packages against their packing lists. Page 5-5 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Preparing for installation Preparing tools Check that following specific tools are available, in addition to general tools:
RJ45 crimp tool (it must be the correct tool for the type of RJ45 being used). Personal Computer (PC) with 10 or 100 or 1000 BaseT Ethernet port Web browser Ethernet patch cables Page 5-6 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components Testing system components The best practice is to connect all componentsAP/BHM, SMs/BHS, GPS antenna (if applicable) and CMM (if applicable)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 work-
flow affecting. Unpacking Components When a delivery arrives, inspect all packages immediately for damages. Carefully unpack the equipment, verify that all the components have arrived as per order and are in good condition. Save all packaging materials for equipment transportation to the installation site. Preparing the ODU After the equipment is unpacked, the units may be configured for staging tests. Use either of two methods to configure an AP/BHM:
Use the Quick Start feature of the product (via GUI menu Quick Start) Manually set each parameter After changing configuration parameters on a GUI web page:
Before you leave a web page, click the Save button to save the change(s) After making change(s) on multiple web pages, click the Reboot button to reboot the module and implement the change(s) Configuring the Computing Device for Test If the computer is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), disconnect the computer from the network. If the computer is instead configured for static IP addressing Set the static address in the 169.254 network Set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. For detailed instructions, see section Configuring the management PC on page 5-16. Page 5-7 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components Factory default Configuration From the factory, the APs/BHMs and SMs/BHSs are all configured to not transmit on any frequency. This configuration ensures that equipment operators 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. when one module transmits while an unintended module nearby receives signal, the transmitting module may interfere with or desense the receiving module. In this context, interference is self-
interference (within the same network). ODU interfaces See section 450 Platform Family interfaces on page 2-7 ODU diagnostic LEDs See section AP/BHM LEDs on page 2-15. See section SM/BHS LEDs on page 2-17. Recommended Tools for Installation The following tools may be needed for installation:

Operators may use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect a network interface card (NIC), hub, router, or switch to these modules. This guide follows the EIA/TIA-568B colour code standard. Page 5-9 Chapter 5: Preparing for installation Testing system components Best Practices for Cabling The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
Use only shielded cables to resist interference. For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief. Include a 2-ft (0.6-m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed. Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the device. Properly crimp all connectors. Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion. Use only shielded connectors to resist interference and corrosion. Wiring Connectors The following diagrams correlate pins to wire colors and illustrate crossovers where applicable. Pin 1, relative to the lock tab on the connector of a straight-through cable is located as shown below.

Installing the AC Power Injector on page 6-63 describes how to install a power supply unit for the PMP/PTP 450 platform, either the AC Power Injector. Supplemental installation information on page 6-65 contains detailed installation procedures that are not included in the above topics, such as how to strip cables, create grounding points and weatherproof connectors. Note These instructions assume that LPUs are being installed from the 450 Platform Family LPU and grounding kit (Cambium part number C000065L007). If the installation does not require LPUs, adapt these instructions as appropriate. If LPUs are being installed, only use the five black-capped EMC cable glands supplied in the LPU and grounding kit. The silver-capped cable glands supplied in the ODU kits must only be used in 450 Platform installations which do not require LPUs.

Connect that cable to one of the Ethernet jacks. 7 8 9 10 Connect an Ethernet cable to the other Ethernet jack of the 600SSH and to the power adapter. 11 Replace the cover of the 600SSH. General protection installation To adequately protect a 450 Platform Family installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are required. Grounding cable requirements When routing, fastening and connecting grounding cables, the following requirements must be implemented:
Grounding conductors must be run as short, straight, and smoothly as possible, with the fewest possible number of bends and curves. Grounding cables must not be installed with drip loops. All bends must have a minimum radius of 203 mm (8 in) and a minimum angle of 90 (Figure 72). A diagonal run is preferable to a bend, even though it does not follow the contour or run parallel to the supporting structure. All bends, curves and connections must be routed towards the grounding electrode system, ground rod, or ground bar. Grounding conductors must be securely fastened. Braided grounding conductors must not be used. Approved bonding techniques must be used for the connection of dissimilar metals. Page 6-13 Chapter 6: Installation Figure 72 Grounding cable minimum bend radius and angle Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor Caution Do not attach grounding cables to the ODU mounting bracket bolts, as this arrangement will not provide full protection. Page 6-14 Chapter 6: Installation Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor Basic requirements The following basic protection requirements must be implemented:
ODU must be in Zone B (see Lightning protection zones on page 3-9). ODU must be grounded to the supporting structure. A surge suppression unit must be installed on the outside of the building. The distance between the ODU and Gigabit Surge Suppressor should be kept to a minimum. The drop cable must not be laid alongside a lightning air terminal. All grounding cables must be a minimum size of 10 mm2 csa (8AWG), preferably 16 mm2 csa
(6AWG), or 25 mm2 csa (4AWG). Protection requirements for a wall installation If the ODU is to be mounted on the wall of a building, then in addition to the general protection requirements (above), the following requirements must be observed:
The equipment must be lower than the top of the building or its lightning air terminal. The building must be correctly grounded. Schematic examples of wall installations are shown in Figure 73. Figure 73 Grounding and lightning protection on wall Page 6-15 Chapter 6: Installation Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor Protection requirements for a mast or tower installation If the ODU is to be mounted on a metal tower or mast, then in addition to the general protection requirements (above), the following requirements must be observed:
The equipment must be lower than the top of the tower or its lightning air terminal. The metal tower or mast must be correctly grounded. Schematic examples of mast or tower installations are shown in Figure 74. Page 6-16 Chapter 6: Installation Figure 74 Grounding and lightning protection on mast or tower Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor Outdoor CAT5e cable Cat5e cable Ground Cable Tower/building ground system AP/BHM Ground to opposite side ODU grounding lug Gigabit surge suppressor Equipment building Gigabit surge suppressor External ground bar Power supply Network switch Ground ring Page 6-17 Chapter 6: Installation Mount the ODU, LPU and surge suppressor Protection requirements on a multifloor building If the ODU is to be mounted on a high rise building, it is likely that cable entry is at roof level (Figure 42) and the equipment room is several floors below. The following additional requirements must be observed:
The ODU must be below the lightning terminals and finials. A grounding conductor must be installed around the roof perimeter to form the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring. Air terminals are typically installed along the length of the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring typically every 6.1m (20ft). The main roof perimeter lightning protection ring must contain at least two down conductors connected to the grounding electrode system. The down conductors should be physically separated from one another, as far as practical. Figure 75 Grounding and lightning protection on building Page 6-18 Chapter 6: Installation Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface To install the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface, use the following procedures:
Install the main drop cable on page 6-19 Install the bottom LPU to PSU drop cable on page 6-21 Installing external antennas to a connectorized ODU on page 6-23 Caution To avoid damage to the installation, do not connect or disconnect the drop cable when power is applied to the PSU or network terminating equipment. Caution Always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel. Alternative types of Cat5e cable are not supported by Cambium Networks. Cambium Networks supply this cable (Cambium part numbers WB3175 and WB3176), RJ45 connectors (Cambium part number WB3177) and a crimp tool (Cambium part number WB3211). The LPU and grounding kit contains a 600 mm length of this cable. Install the main drop cable Warning The metal screen of the drop cable is very sharp and may cause personal injury. ALWAYS wear cut-resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut resistant). ALWAYS wear protective eyewear. ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable (DO NOT use a bladed knife). Warning Failure to obey the following precautions may result in injury or death:
Use the proper hoisting grip for the cable being installed. If the wrong hoisting grip is used, slippage or insufficient gripping strength will result. Do not reuse hoisting grips. Used grips may have lost elasticity, stretched, or become weakened. Reusing a grip can cause the cable to slip, break, or fall. The minimum requirement is one hoisting grip for each 60 m (200 ft) of cable. Page 6-19 Chapter 6: Installation Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface Cut to length and fit hoisting grips 1 Cut the main drop cable to length from the top LPU to the bottom LPU. 2 Slide one or more hoisting grips onto the top end of the drop cable. 3 Secure the hoisting grip to the cable using a special tool, as recommended by the manufacturer. Terminate with RJ45 connectors Caution Check that the crimp tool matches the RJ45 connector, otherwise the cable or connector may be damaged. 1 Strip the cable outer sheath and fit the RJ45 connector load bar. 2 Fit the RJ45 connector housing as shown.

Page 6-35 Chapter 6: Installation Installing external antennas to a connectorized ODU Note Use shielded cable for all infrastructure connections associated with APs, SMs, and CMMs. The environment that these modules operate in often has significant unknown or varying RF energy. Operator experience consistently indicates that the additional cost of shielded cables is more than compensated by predictable operation and reduced costs for troubleshooting and support. 1 Attach the included bracket to the rear of the AP using the (4) M5 x 7mm bolts Figure 96 Attaching bracket to the rear of the AP 2 Attach the AP to the antenna by sliding the bracket onto the bolts and tighten the (4) serrated flange nuts using a 13 mm spanner wrench.

Figure 99 Attaching the AP antenna upper bracket to the pole 2 3 Attach the lower bracket of the antenna to the mount point by closing the rear strap around the pole and tightening the (2) serrated flange nuts using a 13mm spanner wrench. These must be tightened evenly on the pole to avoid jumping/stripping threads. Figure 100 Attaching the AP antenna lower bracket to the pole Use a local map, compass, and/or GPS device as needed to determine the direction that one or more APs require to each cover the 90 sector. Page 6-38 Chapter 6: Installation Installing external antennas to a connectorized ODU 4 5 6 7 Choose the best mounting location for your particular application. Note Use the embedded spectrum analyzer or a commercial analyzer to evaluate the frequencies present in various locations. OFDM APs need not be mounted next to each other. They can be distributed throughout a given site. However, the 90 offset must be maintained. If you want to collocate these APs with PMP 100 Series APs of the 5.4-GHz frequency band range, plan to allow at least 25 MHz of separation between their center channels. Secure a ground strap to the ground lug on the back of the AP. Secure the ground strap to the pole, tower, or other trusted ground. The bracket of the standard antenna has provision for measured down tilt. The recommended practice is to use one of the many radio analysis and mapping tools or on-line tools to calculate down tilt based on antenna height above the service area. 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. The number of degrees to offset (from vertical) the mounting hardware leg of the support tube is equal to the angle of elevation from the lower module to the higher module (<B in the example provided in Figure 65).

Page 6-65 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information Creating a drop cable grounding point Use this procedure to connect the screen of the main drop cable to the metal of the supporting structure using the cable grounding kit (Cambium part number 01010419001). To identify suitable grounding points, refer to Hazardous locations on page 3-15. 1 Remove 60 mm (2.5 inches) of the drop cable outer sheath. 2 Cut 38mm (1.5 inches) of rubber tape (self-amalgamating) and fit to the ground cable lug. Wrap the tape completely around the lug and cable. 3 Fold the ground wire strap around the drop cable screen and fit cable ties. Page 6-66 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information 4 Tighten the cable ties with pliers. Cut the surplus from the cable ties. 5 Cut a 38mm (1.5 inches) section of self-amalgamating tape and wrap it completely around the joint between the drop and ground cables. 6 Use the remainder of the self-amalgamating tape to wrap the complete assembly. Press the tape edges together so that there are no gaps. Page 6-67 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information 7 Wrap a layer of PVC tape from bottom to top, starting from 25 mm (1 inch) below and finishing 25 mm (1 inch) above the edge of the self-amalgamating tape, overlapping at half width. 8 Repeat with a further four layers of PVC tape, always overlapping at half width. Wrap the layers in alternate directions (top to bottom, then bottom to top). The edges of each layer should be 25mm (1 inch) above (A) and 25 mm (1 inch) below (B) the previous layer. 9 Prepare the metal grounding point of the supporting structure to provide a good electrical contact with the grounding cable clamp. Remove paint, grease or dirt, if present. Apply anti-oxidant compound liberally between the two metals. 10 Clamp the bottom lug of the grounding cable to the supporting structure using site approved methods. Use a two-hole lug secured with fasteners in both holes. This provides better protection than a single-hole lug. Page 6-68 Chapter 6: Installation Supplemental installation information Attaching and weatherproofing an N type connector The following procedure should be used to weatherproof the N type connectors fitted to the connectorized ODU (AP/SM/BH) and antenna. This procedure must be followed to ensure that there is no moisture ingress at the radio ports. Failure to properly seal N-type antenna connectors can result in poor link performance or complete loss of radio communication. Note Cambium recommends to assemble the antenna, attach the ODU and cabling, and to seal the RF connections before installing the unit at the deployment site. Note N type connectors should be tightened using a torque wrench, set to 15 lb in or 1.7 Nm. If a torque wrench is not available, N type connectors may be finger tightened. Use this procedure to weatherproof the N type connectors fitted to the connectorized ODU and external antenna (if recommended by the antenna manufacturer). 1 Ensure the connection is tight. A torque wrench should be used if available:
2 Wrap the connection with a layer of 19 mm (0.75 inch) PVC tape, starting 25 mm (1 inch) below the connector body. Overlap the tape to half-width and extend the wrapping to the body of the LPU. Avoid making creases or wrinkles:
Page 6-69 Chapter 6: Installation 3 Smooth the tape edges:

When the AP responds by opening the Configuration page to the General page, click the Time tab. Figure 125 Time tab of the AP/BHM To have each log in the AP/BHM correlated to a meaningful time and date, either a reliable network element must pass time and date to the AP/BHM or you must set the time and date whenever a power cycle of the AP/BHM has occurred. A network element passes time and date in any of the following scenarios:
A connected CMM4 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received). A separate NTP server is addressable from the AP/BHM. If the AP/BHM should obtain time and date from a CMM4, or a separate NTP server, enter the IP address of the CMM4 or NTP server on this tab. To force the AP/BHM to obtain time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP server, click Get Time through NTP.

With the other hand, depress the lever in the back of the base cover (smaller shell). Remove the base cover. Plug one end of a CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the SM PSU port Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the jack in the pig tail that hangs from the power supply Roughly aim the SM/BHS toward the AP/BHM Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet Warning From this point until you remove power from the AP/BHM, stay at least as far from the AP/BHM as the minimum separation distance specified in Calculated distances and power compliance margins. 6 Repeat the foregoing steps for each SM/BHS that you wish to include in the test. Page 7-19 Chapter 7: Configuration Quick link setup Viewing the Session Status of the AP/BHM to determine test registration Once the SMs/BHS under test are powered on, return to the computing device to determine if the SM/BHS units have registered to the AP/BHM. Note In order for accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. The Session Status tab provides information about each SM/BHS that has registered to the AP/BHM. This information is useful for managing and troubleshooting a system. All information that you have entered in the Site Name field of the SM/BHS displays in the Session Status tab of the linked AP/BHM. The Session Status tab also includes the current active values on each SM( or BHS) (LUID) for MIR, and VLAN, as well as the source of these values (representing the SM/BHS itself, Authentication Server, or the AP/BHM and cap, if anyfor example, APCAP as shown above).. As an SM/BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the configuration source that this page displays for the associated LUID may change. After registration, however, the displayed source is stable and can be trusted. Idle subscribers may be included or removed from the session status display by enabling or disabling, respectively, the Show Idle Sessions parameter. Enabling or disabling this parameter only affects the GUI display of subscribers, not the registration status. The SessionStatus.xml hyperlink allows user to export session status page from web management interface of AP/BHM. The session status page will be exported in xml file.

This address is used by family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Defines the address range of the connected IP network. The IP address of a computer on the current network that acts as a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets from and to other networks. If Enabled is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable (read only), in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management Page 7-25 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces interface of the device. DNS servers may be configured automatically from the DHCP response when DHCP is enabled for the management interface of the device. Optionally devices may be configured to set the DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is enabled for the management interface. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS Server The first address used for DNS resolution. Alternate DNS Server Domain Name Advanced LAN1 IP Configuration Default alternate LAN1 IP address If the Preferred DNS server cannot be reached, the Alternate DNS Server is used.

Page 7-27 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT, DHCP Server, DHCP Client and DMZ Applicable products PMP :
SM The system provides NAT (Network Address Translation) for SMs in the following combinations of NAT and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
NAT Disabled NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP Server NAT with DHCP Client(DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) NAT with DHCP Server NAT without DHCP NAT NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic (separate from its address for management), terminates transport traffic and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. 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. Note When NAT is enabled, a reduction in throughput is introduced in the system (due to processing overhead). DHCP DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each SM provides the following:
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 allotment of one IP address behind the SM for a device to logically exist outside the firewall and receive network traffic. The first three octets of this IP address must be identical to the first three octets of the NAT private IP address. 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. Page 7-28 Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Chapter 7: Configuration NAT Disabled The NAT Disabled implementation is illustrated in Figure 128.

One typical use of a VPN is to connect employees remotely (who are at home or in a different city), with their corporate network through a public Internet. Any of several VPN implementation schemes is possible. By design, NAT translates or changes addresses, and thus interferes with a VPN that is not specifically supported by a given NAT implementation. With NAT enabled, SM supports L2TP over IPSec (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol over IP Security) VPNs and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPNs. With NAT disabled, SM supports all types of VPNs. Page 7-32 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP interface with NAT disabled - SM The IP page of SM with NAT disabled is explained in Table 106. Table 106 IP attributes - SM with NAT disabled Attribute IP Address Network Accessibility Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address DHCP state Meaning Enter the non-routable IP address to associate with the Ethernet connection on this SM. (The default IP address from the factory is 169.254.1.1.) If you forget this parameter, you must both:
physically access the module. use recovery mode to access the module configuration parameters at 169.254.1.1. See Radio recovery mode on page 1-26 Note Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. Specify whether the IP address of the SM must be visible to only a device connected to the SM by Ethernet (Local) or be visible to the AP/BHM as well
(Public). Enter an appropriate subnet mask for the SM to communicate on the network. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Enter the appropriate gateway for the SM to communicate with the network. The default gateway is 169.254.0.0. If you select Enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable, but not settable, in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. In this tab, DHCP State is settable only if the Network Accessibility parameter in the IP tab is set to Public. This parameter is also settable in the NAT tab of the Configuration web page, but only when NAT is enabled. Page 7-33 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DHCP DNS IP Address If the DHCP state parameter is set to Enabled in the Configuration > IP sub-menu of the SM/BHS, do not check the BootpClient option for Packet Filter Types in its Protocol Filtering tab, because doing so can block the DHCP request. (Filters apply to all packets that leave the SM via its RF interface, including those that the SM itself generates.) If you want to keep DHCP enabled and avoid the blocking scenario, select the Bootp Server option instead. This will result in responses being appropriately filtered and discarded. Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. DNS servers may be configured automatically from the DHCP response when DHCP is enabled for the management interface of the device. Optionally devices may be configured to set the DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is enabled for the management interface. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS Server The first DNS server used for DNS resolution. Alternate DNS Server Domain Name The second DNS server used for DNS resolution. The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Page 7-34 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP interface with NAT enabled - SM The IP page of SM with NAT enabled is explained in Table 107. Table 107 IP attributes - SM with NAT enabled Meaning Assign an IP address for SM/BHS management through Ethernet access to the SM/BHS. Set only the first three bytes. The last byte is permanently set to 1. This address becomes the base for the range of DHCP-assigned addresses. Assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a more restrictive subnet mask. Set only the last byte of this subnet mask. Each of the first three bytes is permanently set to 255. Attribute IP Address Subnet Mask Page 7-35 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT tab with NAT disabled - SM The NAT tab of SM with NAT disabled is explained in Table 108. Table 108 NAT attributes - SM with NAT disabled Page 7-36 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute NAT Enable/Disable IP Address Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address ARP Cache Timeout TCP Session Garbage Timeout Meaning This parameter enables or disables the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature for the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP/BHM, but this may constrain network design. This field displays the IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. This field displays the subnet mask for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. This field displays the gateway IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes), enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field is 20 minutes. Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter to lower than the default value of 120 minutes. This action makes additional resources available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates. You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based on network performance. The default value of this parameter is 4 minutes. UDP Session Garbage Timeout Translation Table Size Total number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM/BHS. Note When NAT is disabled, the following parameters are not required to be configurable:

Table 109 NAT attributes - SM with NAT enabled Page 7-38 Chapter 7: Configuration Attribute NAT Enable/Disable WAN Interface Connection Type Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address Reply to Ping on WAN Interface LAN Interface IP Address Subnet Mask DMZ Enable Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Meaning This parameter enables or disabled the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature for the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP, but this may constrain network design. The WAN interface is the RF-side address for transport traffic. This parameter may be set to Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must be properly populated. DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the DHCP server configures the interface. PPPoEwhen this is the selection, the information from the PPPoE server configures the interface. If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM for RF transport traffic. If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM for RF transport traffic. By default, the radio interface does not respond to pings. If you use a management system (such as WM) that will occasionally ping the SM, set this parameter to Enabled. The LAN interface is both the management access through the Ethernet port and the Ethernet-side address for transport traffic. When NAT is enabled, this interface is redundantly shown as the NAT Network Interface Configuration on the IP tab of the Configuration web page in the SM. Assign an IP address for SM/BHS management through Ethernet access to the SM. This address becomes the base for the range of DHCP-assigned addresses. Assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a more restrictive subnet mask. Set only the last byte of this subnet mask. Each of the first three bytes is permanently set to 255. Either enable or disable DMZ for this SM/BHS. Page 7-39 Chapter 7: Configuration DMZ IP Address DHCP Server DHCP Server Enable/Disable DHCP Server Lease Timeout DHCP Start IP Number of IPs to Lease DNS Server Proxy DNS IP Address Preferred DNS IP Address Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces If you enable DMZ in the parameter above, set the last byte of the DMZ host IP address to use for this SM when DMZ is enabled. Only one such address is allowed. The first three bytes are identical to those of the NAT private IP address. Ensure that the device that receives network traffic behind this SM is assigned this address. The system provides a warning if you enter an address within the range that DHCP can assign. This is the server (in the SM) that provides an IP address to the device connected to the Ethernet port of the SM. Select either Enabled or Disabled. Enable to:
Allow this SM to assign IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway IP addresses to attached devices. Assign a start address for DHCP. Designate how many IP addresses may be temporarily used (leased). Disable to:
Restrict SM/BHS from assigning addresses to attached devices. Based on network performance, enter the number of days between when the DHCP server assigns an IP address and when that address expires. The range of values for this parameter is 1 to 30 days. The default value is 30 days. If you enable DHCP Server below, set the last byte of the starting IP address that the DHCP server assigns. The first three bytes are identical to those of the NAT private IP address. Enter how many IP addresses the DHCP server is allowed to assign. The default value is 50 addresses. This parameter enables or disables advertisement of the SM/BHS as the DNS server. On initial boot up of a SM with the NAT WAN interface configured as DHCP or PPPoE, the SM module will not have DNS information immediately. With DNS Server Proxy disabled, the clients will renew their lease about every minute until the SM has the DNS information to give out. At this point the SM will go to the full configured lease time period which is 30 days by default. With DNS Server Proxy enabled, the SM will give out full term leases with its NAT LAN IP as the DNS server. Select either:
Obtain Automatically to allow the system to set the IP address of the DNS server or Set Manually to enable yourself to set both a preferred and an alternate DNS IP address. Enter the preferred DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is set to Set Manually. Page 7-40 Chapter 7: Configuration Alternate DNS IP Address Remote Management Interface Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Enter the DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is set to Set Manually and no response is received from the preferred DNS IP address. To offer greater flexibility in IP address management, the NAT-enabled SMs configured WAN Interface IP address may now be used as the device Remote Management Interface (unless the SMs PPPoE client is set to Enabled) Disable: When this interface is set to Disable, the SM is not directly accessible by IP address. Management access is only possible through either the LAN (Ethernet) interface or a link from an AP web page into the WAN
(RF-side) interface. Enable (Standalone Config): When this interface is set to Enable
(Standalone Config), to manage the SM/BHS the device must be accessed by the IP addressing information provided in the Remote Configuration Interface section. Note When configuring PPPoE over the link, use this configuration option (PPPoE traffic is routed via the IP addressing specified in section Remote Configuration Interface). Enable (Use WAN Interface): When this interface is set to Enable (Use WAN Interface), the Remote Configuration Interface information is greyed out, and the SM is managed via the IP addressing specified in section WAN Interface). Note When using this configuration, the ports defined in section Configuration, Port Configuration are consumed by the device. For example, if FTP Port is configured as 21 by the SM, an FTP server situated below the SM must use a port other than 21. This also applies to DMZ devices; any ports specified in section Configuration, Port Configuration will not be translated through the NAT, they is consumed by the devices network stack for management. Connection Type IP Address Subnet Mask This parameter can be set to:
Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must be properly populated. DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the DHCP server configures the interface. If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the IP address of the SM for RF management traffic. If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM for RF management traffic. Page 7-41 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Gateway IP Address DHCP DNS IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM for RF management traffic. Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. Select either:

Preferred DNS Server Enter the preferred DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is set to Set Manually. Alternate DNS Server Enter the DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is set to Set Manually and no response is received from the preferred DNS IP address. Domain Name ARP Cache Timeout TCP Session Garbage Timeout Domain Name to use for management DNS configuration. This domain name may be concatenated to DNS names used configured for the remote configuration interface. If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes), enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field is 20 (minutes). Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter to lower than the default value of 120 (minutes). This action makes additional resources available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates. UDP Session Garbage Timeout You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based on network performance. The default value of this parameter is 4 (minutes). Page 7-42 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT DNS Considerations - SM SM DNS behavior is different depending on the accessibility of the SM. When NAT is enabled the DNS configuration that is discussed in this document is tied to the RF Remote Configuration Interface, which must be enabled to utilize DNS Client functionality. Note that the WAN DNS settings when NAT is enabled are unchanged with the addition of the management DNS feature discussed in this document.

Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each BHS provides:
A DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the BHS by Ethernet protocol. A DHCP client that receives an IP address for the BHS from a network DHCP server. Reconnecting to the management PC If the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address of the unit have been updated to meet network requirements, then reconfigure the local management PC to use an IP address that is valid for the network. See Configuring the management PC on page 7-3. Once the unit reboots, log in using the new IP address. See Logging into the web interface on page 7-5. VLAN configuration for PMP Applicable products PMP : AP SM VLAN Remarking VLAN Remarking feature allows the user to change the VLAN ID and priority of both upstream and downstream packets at the Ethernet Interface. The remarking configuration is available for:
1. VLAN ID re-marking 2. 802.1p priority re-marking Note For Q-in-Q VLAN tagged frame, re-marking is performed on the outer tag. Page 7-44 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN ID Remarking SM supports the ability to re-mark the VLAN ID on both upstream and downstream VLAN frames at the Ethernet interface. For instance, a configuration can be added to re-mark VLAN ID x to VLAN ID y as shown in Table 112. AP does not support VLAN ID remarking. Table 112 VLAN Remarking Example VLAN frame direction Upstream Downstream Remarking SM receives VLAN ID x frame at the Ethernet interface, checks the configuration and re-marks to VLAN ID y. So VLAN ID y frame comes out of APs Ethernet interface. When SM re-marks, a dynamic entry in VLAN membership table for y is added to allow reception of VLAN ID y downstream packet. AP receives VLAN ID y frame at the Ethernet interface and sends to SM. SM accepts the frame as it has an entry in the membership table and re-marks to VLAN ID x. This reverse re- marking is necessary because the downstream devices do not know of re-marking and are expecting VLAN x frames. This remarking is done just before sending the packet out on Ethernet interface. 802.1P Remarking AP/BHM and SM/BHS allow re-marking of 802.1p priority bits for the frames received at the Ethernet interface. Priority bits are not re-marked for the packets sent out of Ethernet interface (reverse direction). Configuration must be added at SM/BHS for upstream frames and at AP/BHM for downstream frames. VLAN Priority Bits configuration VLAN Priority Bits Configuration feature allows the user to configure the three 802.1p bits upon assigning VLAN to an ingress packet. The priority bits configuration is available for:
Default Port VID Provider VID MAC Address mapped Port VID Management VID Default Port VID This VID is used for untagged frames and will correspond to the Q-Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is QinQ). The priority bits used in the Q-tag/C-tag are configurable. The configuration can be:
Promote IPv4/IPv6 priority The priority in the IP header is copied to the Q-tag/C-tag. Page 7-45 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Define priority Specify the priority in the range of 0 to 7. This value is used as priority in the Q-
tag/C-tag. MAC Address Mapped VID If a packet arrives at the SM/BHS that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frames Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (QinQ port). The priority bits used in the Q-tag/C-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Provider VID The provider VID is used for the S-tag. The priority bits used in the S-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Provider VID has an extra priority configuration:
Copy inner tag 802.1p priority The priority in the C-tag is copied to the S-tag. Management VID This VID is used to communicate with AP/BHM and SM/BHS for management purposes. The priority bits used in the Q-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Use APs Management VID for ICC connected SM This feature allows the SM to use the APs management VLAN ID when the SM is registered to the AP via ICC. This feature is useful for the customer who uses a different management VID for the SM and AP and Zero Touch feature is enabled for configuration. This parameter may be accessed via the Configuration > VLAN page on the APs web management interface.

Enter the VID that the operator wishes to use to communicate with the module manager. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. Modules can be configured with 802.1ad Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) tagging which is a way for an operator to put an 802.1Q VLAN inside of an 802.1ad VLAN. A nested VLAN, which is the original 802.1Q tag and a new second 802.1ad tag, allows for bridging of VLAN traffic across a network and segregates the broadcast domains of 802.1Q VLANs. Q-in-Q can be used with PPPoE and/or NAT. The 802.1ad standard defines the S-VLAN as the Service Provider VLAN and the C-VLAN as the customer VLAN. The radio software does 2 layer Q-in-Q whereby the C-VLAN is the 802.1Q tag and the S-VLAN is the second layer Q tag as shown below:
Table 114 Q-in-Q Ethernet frame S-VLAN EthType Ethernet Header 0x88a8 C-VLAN EthType 0x8100 IP Data EthType 0x0800 The 802.1ad S-VLAN is the outer VLAN that is configurable on the Configuration > VLAN web page of the AP. The Q-in-Q EtherType parameter is configured with a default EtherType of 0x88a8 in addition to four alternate EtherTypes that can be configured to aid in interoperability with existing networks that use a different EtherType than the default. The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top level concept, this operates on the outermost tag at any given time, either pushing a tag on or popping a tag off. This means packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag pushed on) or an untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag popped off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.1Q frame (with the tag popped off) since the radio software only supports 2 levels of tags This field allows the SM to use the APs management VLAN ID when the SM is registered to the AP via ICC. When VLAN is enabled in the AP, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not.

As the user adds a number between 1 and 4094, this number is populated here. Enter the VID for which the operator wishes to remark the 802.1p priority for the downstream packets. The range of values is 1 to 4094. The default value is 1. This is the priority you can assign to the VLAN Tagged packet. Priority of 0 is the highest. As the user enters a VLAN and a Remarking priority, this information is added in this table.

The other option is Q-in-Q, which indicates that it must be adding and removing the S-Tag, and adding a C-Tag if necessary for untagged packets. The VLAN Port type corresponds to the Ethernet port of the SM/BHS. Currently, the internal management interfaces will always operate as Q ports. Page 7-50 Chapter 7: Configuration Accept QinQ Frames Allow Frame Types Dynamic Learning VLAN Aging Timeout Management VID SM Management VID Pass-through Default Port VID Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces This option is valid for the Q-in-Q port so that the user may force blocking of existing 802.1ad Q-in-Q frames. This way, only untagged or single tagged packets will come in and out of the Ethernet interface. If a Q-in-Q frame is about ingress or egress the Ethernet interface and this is disabled, it is dropped and a filter entry will show up on the VLAN Statistics page as DVLAN Egress or DVLAN Ingress. Select the type of arriving frames that the SM must tag, using the VID that is stored in the Untagged Ingress VID parameter. The default value is All Frames. Tagged Frames Only: The SM only tags incoming VLAN-tagged frames Untagged Frames Only: The SM will only tag incoming untagged frames Specify whether the SM must (Enable) or not (Disable) add the VIDs of upstream frames (that enter the SM through the wired Ethernet interface) to the VID table. The default value is Enable. Specify how long the SM/BHS must keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). Note VIDs that you enter for the Untagged Ingress VID and Management VID parameters do not time out. Enter the VID that the SM/BHS must share with the AP/BHM. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. Specify whether to allow the SM/BHS (Enabled) or the AP/RADIUS
(Disabled) to control the VLAN settings of this SM. The default value is Enabled. When VLAN is enabled in the AP to whom this SM is registered, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. If disabled, MVID traffic is not allowed to or from the SM wired interface. Also, if Management VID is the same as a Port VID (Default or MAC-based), then this setting is ignored and assumed to be Enabled. This is the VID that is used for untagged frames and will correspond to the Q-
Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is Q-in- Q). Page 7-51 Chapter 7: Configuration Port VID MAC Address Mapping Provider VID Active Configuration, Default Port VID Active Configuration, MAC Address VID Map Active Configuration, Management VID Active Configuration, SM Management VID Pass-Through Active Configuration, Dynamic Aging Timeout Active Configuration, Allow Learning Active Configuration, Allow Frame Type Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces These parameters allow operators to place specific devices onto different VLANs (802.1Q tag or 802.1ad C-tag) based on the source MAC address of the packet. If the MAC address entry is 00-00-00-00-00-00 then that entry is not used. If a packet arrives at the SM that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frames Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (Q-in-Q port). If there is no match, then the Default Port VID is used. This table is also used in the downstream direction for removal of the tag based on the destination MAC address so that an untagged (for Q port) or Q-Tagged (for Q-in-Q port) frame is delivered to the end device. You may use wildcards for the non-OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) portion of the MAC address, which is the last 3 bytes. MAC addresses contain 6 bytes, the first 3 of which are the OUI of the vendor that manufactured the device and the last 3 are unique to that vendor OUI. If you want to cover all devices from a known vendors OUI, you have to specify 0xFF for the remaining 3 bytes. So, for example, if you wanted all devices from a specific vendor with an OUI of 00-95-5b (which is a Netgear OUI) to be on the same VID of 800, you have to specify an entry with MAC address 00-95-5b-ff-ff-ff. Then, any device underneath of the SM with MAC addresses starting with 00-95-5b is put on VLAN 800. The provider VID is used for the S-tag. It is only used if the Port Type is Q-
in-Q and will always be used for the S-tag. If an existing 802.1Q frame arrives, the Provider VID is what is used for adding and removing of the outer S-tag. If an untagged frame arrives to a Q-in-Q port, then the Provider VID is the S-tag and the Default Port VID (or Port VID MAC Address Mapping, if valid) is used for the C-tag. This is the value of the parameter of the same name, configured above. This is the listing of the MAC address VIDs configured in Port VID MAC Address Mapping. This is the value of the parameter of the same name, configured above. This is the value of the parameter of the same name, configured above.

This column lists the ID numbers of the VLANs in which this module is a member, whether through assignment or through dynamic learning. For each VID number in the first column, the entry in this column correlates the way in which the module became and continues to be a member:
PermanentThis indicates that the module was assigned the VID number through direct configuration by the operator. DynamicThis indicates that the module adopted the VID number through enabled dynamic learning, when a tagged packet from a SM behind it in the network or from a customer equipment that is behind the SM in this case, was read. For each VID number in the first column of the table, the entry in this column reflects whether or when the VID number will time out:
Permanent type - Number never times out and this is indicated by the digit 0. Dynamic type - Age reflects what is configured in the VLAN Aging Timeout parameter in the Configuration => VLAN tab of the AP or reflects a fewer number of minutes that represents the difference between what was configured and what has elapsed since the VID was learned. Each minute, the Age decreases by one until, at zero, the AP deletes the learned VID, but can it again from packets sent by elements that are beneath it in the network. Note Values in this Active Configuration block can differ from attempted values in configurations:

Page 7-57 Chapter 7: Configuration PPPoE page of SM Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Applicable products PMP :
SM Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a protocol that encapsulates PPP frames inside Ethernet frames (at Ethernet speeds). Benefits to the network operator may include Access control Service monitoring Generation of statistics about activities of the customer Re-use of infrastructure and operational practices by operators who already use PPP for other networks PPPoE options are configurable for the SM only, and the AP indicates whether or not PPPoE is enabled for a specific subscriber. When PPPoE is enabled, once the RF session comes up between the SM and the AP, the SM will immediately attempt to connect to the PPPoE Server. You can monitor the status of this by viewing the PPPoE Session Log in the Logs section (Administrator only). Every time the RF session comes up, the SM will check the status of the link and if it is down, the SM will attempt to redial the link if necessary depending on the Timer Type. Also, on the Configuration page, the user may Connect or Disconnect the session manually. This can be used to override the session to force a manual disconnect and/or reconnect if there is a problem with the session. In order to enable PPPoE, NAT MUST be enabled on the SM and Translation Bridging MUST be disabled on the AP. These items is strictly enforced for you when you are trying to enable PPPoE. A message will indicate any prerequisites not being met. Also, the NAT Public IP DHCP client cannot be enabled, because the NAT Public IP is received through the IPCP process of the PPPoE discovery stages. The pre-requisites are:
NAT MUST be enabled on the SM o NAT DHCP Client is disabled automatically. The NAT public IP is received from the PPPoE Server. o NAT Public Network Interface Configuration will not be used and must be left to defaults. Also NAT Public IP DHCP is disabled if it is enabled. Translation Bridging MUST be DISABLED on the AP o This will only be determined if the SM is in session since the SM wont know the AP configuration otherwise. If the SM is not in session, PPPoE can be enabled but if the SM goes into session to a Translation Bridge-enabled AP, then PPPoE will not be enabled. The PPPoE configuration parameters are explained in Table 119. Page 7-58 Chapter 7: Configuration Table 119 SM PPPoE attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Access Concentrator Service Name Authentication Type User Name Password MTU Meaning An optional entry to set a specific access concentrator to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is blank, the SM will accept the first access concentrator which matches the service name (if specified). This is limited to 32 characters. An optional entry to set a specific service name to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is left blank the SM will accept the first service option that comes back from the access concentrator specified above, if any. This is limited to 32 characters. None means that no PPPoE authentication is implemented CHAP/PAP means that CHAP authentication is attempted first, then PAP authentication. The same password is used for both types. This is the CHAP/PAP user name that is used if CHAP/PAP authentication is selected. If None is selected for authentication then this field is unused. This is limited to 32 characters. This is the CHAP/PAP password that is used if PAP authentication is selected. If None is selected for authentication then this field is unused. This is limited to 32 characters. Use MTU Received from PPPoE Server causes the SM to use the MRU of the PPPoE server received in LCP as the MTU for the PPPoE link. Page 7-59 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Timer Type Timer Period TCP MSS Clamping Use User Defined MTU allows the operator to specify an MTU value to use to override any MTU that may be determined in the LCP phase of PPPoE session setup. If this is selected, the user is able to enter an MTU value up to 1492. However, if the MTU determined in LCP negotiations is less than this user-specified value, the SM will use the smaller value as its MTU for the PPPoE link. Keep Alive is the default timer type. This timer will enable a keepalive that will check the status of the link periodically. The user can set a keepalive period. If no data is seen from the PPPoE server for that period, the link is taken down and a reconnection attempt is started. For marginal links, the keep alive timer can be useful so that the session will stay alive over periodic dropouts. The keepalive timer must be set such that the session can outlast any session drop. Some PPPoE servers will have a session check timer of their own so that the timeouts of the server and the SM are in sync, to ensure one side does not drop the session prematurely. Idle Timeout enables an idle timer that checks the usage of the link from the customer side. If there is no data seen from the customer for the idle timeout period, the PPPoE session is dropped. Once data starts flowing from the customer again, the session is started up again. This timer is useful for users who may not be using the connection frequently. If the session is idle for long periods of time, this timer will allow the resources used by the session to be returned to the server. Once the connection is used again by the customer, the link is reestablished automatically. The length in seconds of the PPPoE keepalive timer. If this is enabled, then the SM will alter TCP SYN and SYN-ACK packets by changing the Maximum Segment Size to be compatible with the current MTU of the PPPoE link. This way, the user does not have to worry about MTU on the client side for TCP packets. The MSS is set to the current MTU 40 (20 bytes for IP headers and 20 bytes for TCP headers). This will cause the application on the client side to not send any TCP packets larger than the MTU. If the network is exhibiting large packet loss, try enabling this option. This may not be an option on the PPPoE server itself. The SM will NOT reassemble IP fragments, so if the MTUs are incorrect on the end stations, then MSS clamping will solve the problem for TCP connections.

A priority set to a specific CodePoint will apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Table 120 DiffServ attributes AP/BHM Attribute CodePoint 1 through CodePoint 47 CodePoint 49 through CodePoint 55 CodePoint 57 through CodePoint 63 Meaning Priorities of 0 through 3 map to the low-priority channel; 4 through 7 to the high- priority channel. The mappings are the same as 802.1p VLAN priorities. Consistent with RFC 2474 CodePoint 0 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 0 (low-priority channel). CodePoint 48 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 6 (high-priority channel). CodePoint 56 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 7 (high-
priority channel). Operator cannot change any of these three fixed priority values. Among the settable parameters, the priority values (and therefore the handling of packets in the high or low priority channel) are set in the AP/BHM for all downlinks within the sector and in the SM/BHS for each uplink. Page 7-61 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces CodePoint Select This represents the CodePoint Selection to be modified via Priority Select Priority Select Priority Precedence PPPoE Control Message Priority The priority setting input for the CodePoint selected in CodePoint Select Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. Operators may configure the AP/BHM to utilize the high priority channel for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the AP/BHM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the AP/BHM. IPv4 and IPv6 Filtering The operator can filter (block) specified IPv6 protocols including IPv4 and ports from leaving the AP/BHM and SM/BHS and entering the network. This protects the network from both intended and inadvertent packet loading or probing by network users. By keeping the specified protocols or ports off the network, this feature also provides a level of protection to users from each other. Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Filtering IPv6 filters are set using the Protocol Filtering tab on the AP/BHM and SM/BHS (at Configuration >
Protocol Filtering). Once a filter is set for a packet type, those packets will not be sent over the RF interface depending on Filter Direction setting. Page 7-62 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 121 Packet Filter Configuration attributes Attribute Packet Filter Types Meaning For any box selected, the Protocol and Port Filtering feature blocks the associated protocol type. To filter packets in any of the user-defined ports, you must do all of the following:

Provide a port number at Port #n. in the User Defined Port Filtering Configuration section of this tab Page 7-63 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Filter Direction User Defined Port Filtering Configuration Enable TCP and/or UDP by clicking the associated radio button Operators may choose to filter upstream (uplink) RF packets or downstream

Checking the installed software version on page 7-64 Upgrading to a new software version on page 7-64 Caution If the link is operational, ensure that the remote end of the link is upgraded first using the wireless connection, and then the local end can be upgraded. Otherwise, the remote end may not be accessible. Use CNUT 4.10.4 or later version and always refer to the software release notes before upgrading system software. The release notes are available at:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450 Checking the installed software version To check the installed software version, follow these instructions:
Procedure 18 Checking the installed software version 1 2 3 4 Click on General tab under Home menu. Note the installed Software Version (under Device Information):
PMP/PTP 450/450i/450m Go to the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1) and find Point-to-
Multipoint software updates. Check that the latest 450 Platform Family software version is the same as the installed Software Version. To upgrade software to the latest version, see Upgrading to a new software version on page 7-
64. Upgrading to a new software version All 450 platform modules are upgraded using the Canopy Network Updater Tool. The Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) manages and automates the software upgrade process for a Canopy radio, 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/BHM while using the Autoupdate feature) to upgrade the modules. Page 7-65 Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Note Please ensure that you have the most up-to-date version of CNUT by browsing to the Customer Support Web Page located:
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support/management-tools/cnut This section includes an example of updating a single unit before deployment. System-wide upgrading procedures may be found in the CNUT Online Help manual, which can be found on the Cambium support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1). CNUT functions The Canopy Network Updater tool has the following functions:
Automatically discovers all network elements Executes a UDP command that initiates and terminates the Auto-update mode within APs/BHMs. This command is both secure and convenient:
o For security, the AP/BHM accepts this command from only the IP address that you specify in the Configuration page of the AP/BHM. o For convenience, Network Updater automatically sets this Configuration parameter in the APs/BHMs to the IP address of the Network Updater server when the server performs any of the update commands. CNUT supports HTTP and HTTPS Allows you to choose the following among updating:
o Your entire network. o Only elements that you select. o Only network branches that you select. Provides a Script Engine that you can use with any script that:
o You define. o Cambium supplies. Configurability of any of the following to be the file server for image files:
o The AP/BHM, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via UDP messaging o CNUT HTTP/HTTPS Server, for upgrading via SNMP commands and monitoring via SNMP messaging. This also supports an option to either set the image order specifically for this file server or to allow the AP to determine the order. o Local TFTP Server, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via UDP messaging. This supports setting the number of simultaneous image transfers per AP/BHM The capability to launch a test of connectivity and operational status of the local HTTP, HTTPS and TFTP file servers An interface that supports efficient specification of the proper IP address for the local file server(s) where Network Updater resides on a multi-homed computer An md5 checksum calculator utility for identifying corruption of downloaded image files before Network Updater is set to apply them. Network element groups With the Canopy Network Updater Tool, you can identify element groups composed of network elements that you select. Identifying these element groups does the following:
Page 7-66 Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Organizes the display of elements (for example, by region or by AP/BHM cluster). Allows to:
o Perform an operation on all elements in the group simultaneously. o Set group-level defaults for ftp password access and SNMP Community String (defaults that can be overridden in an individual element when necessary). Network layers A typical network contains multiple layers of elements, with each layer farther from the Point of Presence. For example, SMs (or BHS) are behind an AP/BHM and thus, in this context, at a lower layer than the AP/BHM. Correctly portraying these layers in Network Updater is essential so that Network Updater can perform radio and AP/BHM cluster upgrades in an appropriate order. Script engine Script Engine is the capability in Network Updater that executes any user-defined script against any network element or element group. This capability is useful for network management, especially for scripts that you repetitively execute across your network. The Autodiscovery capability in Network Updater finds all of your network elements. This comprehensive discovery:
Ensures that, when you intend to execute a script against all elements, the script is indeed executed against all elements. Maintains master lists of elements (element groups) against which you selectively execute scripts. The following scripts are included with CNUT:

Multipoint software updates. Download and save the required software image. Start CNUT If you dont start up with a blank new network file in CNUT, then open a new network file with the New Network Archive operation (located at File > New Network). Enter a new network element to the empty network tree5-9 using the Add Elements to Network Root operation (located at Edit > Add Elements to Network Root). In the Add Elements dialogue, select a type of Access Point or Subscriber Module and enter the IP address of 169.254.1.1. Make sure that the proper Installation Package is active with the Package Manager dialogue
(located at Update > Manage Packages). To verify connectivity with the radio, perform a Refresh, Discover Entire Network operation
(located at View > Refresh/Discover Entire Network). You must see the details columns for the new element filled in with ESN and software version information. Initiate the upgrade of the radio using Update Entire Network Root operation (located at Update > Update Entire Network Root). When this operation finishes, the radio is done being upgraded.

From the drop-down list, select the region in which the radio is operating. From the drop-down list, select the country in which the radio is operating. Unlike selections in other parameters, your Country selection requires a Save Changes and a Reboot cycle before it will force the context-sensitive GUI to display related options (for example, Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 and 2 in the Configuration > Radio tab). PMP 450i Series ODUs shipped to the United States is locked to a Region Code setting of United States. Units shipped to regions other than the United States must be configured with the corresponding Region Code to comply with local regulatory requirements. Country Code settings affect the radios in the following ways:
Maximum transmit power limiting (based on radio transmitter power plus configured antenna gain) DFS operation is enabled based on the configured region code, if applicable For more information on how transmit power limiting and DFS is implemented for each country, see the PMP 450 Planning Guide. Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the web-based interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to never be automatically refreshed. Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing network infrastructure. The Bridge Entry Timeout must be a longer period than the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network. Caution An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss of communication with some end users. Optionally, you can configure the AP to change the source MAC address in every packet it receives from its SMs to the MAC address of the SM that bridged the packet, before forwarding the packet toward the public network. If you do, then:
Not more than 128 IP devices at any time are valid to send data to the AP from behind the SM. SM populates the Translation Table tab of its Statistics web page, displaying the MAC address and IP address of all the valid connected devices. Page 7-71 Chapter 7: Configuration General configuration Each entry in the Translation Table is associated with the number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM. If 128 are connected and another attempts to connect:
If no Translation Table entry is older than 255 minutes, the attempt is ignored. If an entry is older than 255 minutes, the oldest entry is removed and the attempt is successful. the Send Untranslated ARP parameter in the General tab of the Configuration page can be:
Disabled, so that the AP overwrites the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them. Enabled, so that the AP forwards ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. When this feature is disabled, the setting of the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect, because all packets are forwarded untranslated
(with the source MAC address intact). If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Enabled, then the Send Untranslated ARP parameter can be:
Disabled - so that the AP will overwrite the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them. Enabled - so that the AP will forward ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Disabled, then the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect. Prevent or allow SM-to-SM communication by selecting from the following drop-down menu items:
Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs. Block SM Packets from being forwarded. This prevents both multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication. Block and Forward SM Packets to Backbone. This not only prevents multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends the packets, which otherwise are handled SM to SM, through the Ethernet port of the AP. Enabled: All unknown Unicast packets (no entry in the APs bridge table) received via the APs Ethernet LAN interface are forwarded to registered SMs. If the target device is situated beneath a particular SM, when the device responds the SM and AP will learn and add the device to their bridge tables so that subsequent packets to that device is bridged to the proper SM. Disabled: All unknown Unicast packets (no entry in the APs bridge table) received via the APs Ethernet LAN interface are discarded at the AP. Enter the address of the server to access for software updates on this AP and registered SMs. Page 7-72 Send Untranslated ARP SM Isolation Forward Unknown Unicast Packets Update Application Address Chapter 7: Configuration Prioritize TCP ACK Multicast Destination Address DHCP Relay Agent DHCP Server (Name or IP Address) Latitude Longitude Height General configuration To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements. This parameter, when enabled, can be particularly useful when running bi-direction FTP sessions over the link. If a link is primarily used for video surveillance, it is recommended to set this parameter to Disable. Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a module exchanges multicast addresses with the device to which it is wired on the Ethernet interface. Although some switches (CMM4, for example) do not pass LLDP addresses upward in the network, a radio can pass it as the value of the Multicast Destination Address parameter value in the connected device that has it populated. The AP may act as a DHCP relay for SMs and CPEs underneath it. The AP will make use of the DHCP Option 82 (DHCP Relay Agent Information) from RFC 3046 when performing relay functions. The AP offers two types of DHCP relay functionality:
Full Relay Information. Configuring the DHCP Full Relay Operation will take broadcast DHCP packets and send them to a Unicast server in unicast mode. This way the DHCP requests and replies can be routed like any other UDP packet. Only Insert Option 82. This option leaves the DHCP request on its broadcast domain as opposed to DHCP Full Relay Operation which will turn it into a unicast packet. In order to accommodate setting up pools or classes for different VLANs, the Option 82 field will include information to tell the server what VLAN the client is on. The DHCP relay server may be either a DNS name or a static IP address in dotted decimal notation. Additionally the management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the DHCP relay server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. The default DHCP relay server addresses is 255.255.255.255 with the appending of the DNS domain name disabled. Physical radio location data may be configured via the Latitude, Longitude and Height fields. Latitude and Longitude is measured in Decimal Degree while the Height is calculated in Meters.

It is configurable from 4 to 4096. Note Configure Bridge Table Restriction parameter to Drop packets if MAC address is not in bridge table option to restrict the number of devices configured from connecting to SM. Bridge Table Restriction Frame Timing Pulse Gated Multicast Destination Address This parameter allows to either allow or restrict devices to connect to SM using the following options:
Drop packets if MAC address is not in bridge table: Select this option to restrict communication from devices not listed in bridge table. Forward packets even if MAC address is not in bridge table: Select this option to allow communication from any device. If this SM extends the sync pulse to a BH master or an AP, select either EnableIf this SM loses sync from the AP, then do not propagate a sync pulse to the BH timing master or other AP. This setting prevents interference in the event that the SM loses sync. DisableIf this SM loses sync from the AP, then propagate the sync pulse to the BH timing master or other AP. Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a module exchanges multicast addresses with the device to which it is wired on the Ethernet interface. Although some switches (CMM4, for example) do not pass LLDP addresses upward in the network, a radio can pass it as the value of the Multicast Destination Address parameter value in the connected device that has it populated. Latitude Longitude Height Physical radio location data may be configured via the Latitude, Longitude and Height fields. Latitude and Longitude is measured in Decimal Degree while the Height is calculated in Meters.

To have each log in the AP/BHM correlated to a meaningful time and date, either a reliable network element must pass time and date to the AP/BHM or must set the time and date whenever a power cycle of the AP/BHM has occurred. A network element passes time and date in any of the following scenarios:
A connected CMM4 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received). A connected CMM4 passes the time and date (GPS time and date, if received), but only if both the CMMr is operating on CMMr Release 2.1 or later release. (These releases include NTP server functionality.) Page 7-96 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up time and date NTP Server(s) in Use Time Zone System Time Last NTP Time Update Time Date NTP Update Log A separate NTP server (including APs/BHMs receiving NTP data) is addressable from the AP/BHM. If the AP/BHM needs to obtain time and date from a CMM4, or a separate NTP server, enter the IP address or DNS name of the CMM4 or NTP server on this tab. To force the AP/BHM to obtain time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP server, click Get Time via NTP. The polling of the NTP servers is done in a sequential fashion, and the polling status of each server is displayed in the NTP Update Log section of the Time Configuration page. An entry of 0.0.0.0 in any of the NTP Server fields indicates an unused server configuration. Lists the IP addresses of servers used for NTP retrieval. The Time Zone option may be used to offset the received NTP time to match the operators local time zone. When set on the AP/BHM, the offset is set for the entire sector SMs (or BHS) are notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time Zone change is applied, the SMs(or BHS) is notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some SMs//BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log of the AP/BHM and SM/BHS. The current time used by the system. The last time that the system time was set via NTP.

Page 7-97 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring synchronization Configuring synchronization Applicable products PMP : AP PTP: BHM This section describe synchronization options for PMP and PTP configuration. This Sync Input parameter can be configured under Sync Setting tab of Configure > General page (see General configuration on page 7-68). PMP/PTP 450i Series has following synchronization options:
AutoSync AutoSync + Free Run Generate Sync Free Run Before GPS Sync Figure 137 Sync Setting configuration AutoSync For PTP, the BHM automatically receives sync from one of the following sources:
GPS Sync over Timing Port (UGPS, co-located AP GPS sync output, or Remote Device feed from a registered SMs GPS sync output) GPS Sync over Power Port (CMM4) Upon AP/BM power on, the AP/BHM does not transmit until a valid synchronization pulse is received from one of the sources above. If there is a loss of GPS synchronization pulse, within two seconds the AP/BHM automatically attempts to source GPS signaling from another source. In case of PMP, when there are synchronization sources on both the timing port and the power port, the power port GPS source is chosen first. If no valid GPS signal is received, the AP/BHM ceases transmission and SM/BHS registration is lost until a valid GPS signal is received again on the AP or BHM. Note After an AP reboot, the sync acquisition takes a little longer than it had on 450i (anywhere from 40 seconds to 120 seconds difference). Page 7-98 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring synchronization AutoSync + Free Run This mode operates similarly to mode AutoSync, but if a previously received synchronization signal is lost and no GPS signaling alternative is achieved, the AP/BHM automatically changes to synchronization mode Generate Sync. While SM registration ins maintained, in this mode there is no synchronization of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; the AP/BHM will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Once a valid GPS signal is obtained again, the AP/BHM automatically switches to receiving synchronization via the GPS source and SM/BHS registration is maintained. When the Sync Input field is set to Autosync or Autosync + Free Run, other options become available to be set e.g. UGPS Power and other fields. This is true on APs and BHMs. Note In mode AutoSync + Free Run, if a GPS signal is never achieved initially, the system will not switch to Free Run mode, and SMs/BHS will not register to the AP/BHM. A valid GPS signal must be present initially for the AP to switch into Free Run mode (and to begin self-generating a synchronization pulse). Also, When an AP/BHM is operating in Free Run mode, over a short time it will no longer be synchronized with co-located or nearby APs/BHMs (within radio range). Due to this lack of transmit and receive synchronization across APs/BHMs or across systems, performance while in Free Run mode may be degraded until the APs/BHMs operating in Free Run mode regain a external GPS synchronization source. Careful attention is required to ensure that all systems are properly receiving an external GPS synchronization pulse, and please consider Free Run mode as an emergency option. Generate Sync (factory default) This option may be used when the AP/BHM is not receiving GPS synchronization pulses from either a CMM4 or UGPS module, and there are no other APs/BHMs active within the link range. Using this option will not synchronize transmission of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; it will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Note When an AP/BHM has its "Regional Code" set to "None", The radio will not provide valid Sync Pulse Information. There is a RED warning that the radio will not transmit, but the user might expect to see a valid sync if the radio is connected to a working CMM4 or UGPS.

Page 7-104 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Requiring SM Authentication Applicable products PMP : AP SM Through the use of a shared AP key, or an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server, it enhances network security by requiring SMs to authenticate when they register. For descriptions of each of the configurable security parameters on the AP, see Configuring Security on page 7-114. For descriptions of each of the configurable security parameters on the SM, see Security on page 7-119. Operators may use the APs Authentication Mode field to select from among the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate (factory default setting). Authentication Server the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its SMs and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none of the SMs is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. For more information on configuring the PMP 450 Platform network to utilize a RADIUS server, see Configuring a RADIUS server on page 7-226. Page 7-105 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Filtering protocols and ports Applicable products PMP : AP SM PTP: BHM BMS The filtering protocols and ports allows to configure filters for specified protocols and ports from leaving the AP/SM/BHM/BHS and entering the network.

RF Telnet Access PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding RF Telnet Access restricts Telnet access to the AP/BHM from a device situated below a network SM/BHS (downstream from the AP/BHM). This is a security enhancement to restrict RF-interface sourced AP access specifically to the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address (Radio Private Address, typically 192.168.101.[LUID]). This restriction disallows unauthorized users from running Telnet commands on the AP/BHM that can change AP/BHM configuration or modifying network-critical components such as routing and ARP tables. Enabled: the AP/BHM allows downstream and upstream transmission of PPPoE PADI packets. By default, PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding is set to Enabled. Disabled: the AP/BHM disallows PPPoE PADI packets from entering the Ethernet interface and exiting the RF interface (downstream to the SM/BHS). PPPoE PADI packets are still allowed to enter the APs RF interface and exit the APs /BHMs Ethernet interface (upstream).

Allowing management only from specified IP addresses See Allowing management from only specified IP addresses on page 3-50. Restricting radio Telnet access over the RF interface RF Telnet Access restricts Telnet access to the AP from a device situated below a network SM
(downstream from the AP). This is a security enhancement to restrict RF-interface sourced AP access specifically to the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address (Radio Private Address, typically 192.168.101.
[LUID]). This restriction disallows unauthorized users from running Telnet commands on the AP that can change AP configuration or modifying network-critical components such as routing and ARP tables. The RF Telnet Access may be configured via the AP GUI or via SNMP commands, and RF Telnet Access is set to Enabled by default. Once RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled, if there is a Telnet session attempt to the AP originating from a device situated below the SM (or any downstream device), the attempt is dropped. This also includes Telnet session attempts originated from the SMs management interface (if a user has initiated a Telnet session to a SM and attempts to Telnet from the SM to the AP). In addition, if there are any active Telnet connections to the AP originating from a device situated below the SM (or any downstream device), the connection is dropped. This behavior must be considered if system administrators use Telnet downstream from an AP (from a registered SM) to modify system parameters. Setting RF Telnet Access to Disabled does not affect devices situated above the AP from accessing the AP via Telnet, including servers running the CNUT (Canopy Network Updater tool) application. Also, setting RF Telnet Access to Disabled does not affect any Telnet access into upstream devices (situated above or adjacent to the AP) through the AP (see Figure 140). The figure below depicts a user attempting two telnet sessions. One is targeted for the AP (orange) and one is targeted for the network upstream from the AP (green). If RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled
(factory default setting), the Telnet attempt from the user to the AP is blocked, but the attempt from the user to Network is allowed to pass through the Cambium network. Figure 140 RF Telnet Access Restrictions (orange) and Flow through (green) Page 7-110 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Key Security Considerations when using the RF Telnet Access Feature To ensure that the network is fully protected from unauthorized AP Telnet sessions, the following topics must be considered:
Securing AP Clusters When working with a cluster of AP units, to eliminate potential security holes allowing Telnet access, ensure that the RF Telnet Access parameter is set to Disabled for every AP in the cluster. In addition, since users situated below the AP are able to pass Telnet sessions up through the SM and AP to the upstream network (while AP RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled), ensure that all CMM4 or other networking equipment is secured with strong passwords. Otherwise, users may Telnet to the CMM4 or other networking equipment, and subsequently access network APs (see Figure 141) via their Ethernet interfaces (since RF Telnet Access only prevents Telnet sessions originating from the APs wireless interface). Figure 141 RF Telnet Access Restriction (orange) and Potential Security Hole (green) As a common practice, AP administrator usernames and passwords must be secured with strong, non-
default passwords. Restricting AP RF Telnet Access AP Telnet access via the RF interface may be configured in two ways the AP GUI and SNMP. Controlling RF Telnet Access via the AP GUI To restrict all Telnet access to the AP via the RF interface from downstream devices, follow these instructions using the AP GUI:
Procedure 20 Restricting RF Telnet access Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials 1 2 On the AP GUI, navigate to Configuration > Protocol Filtering Page 7-111 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security 3 Under GUI heading Telnet Access over RF Interface, set RF Telnet Access to Disabled Click the Save button 4 5 Once the Save button is clicked, all RF Telnet Access to the AP from devices situated below the AP is blocked. Note The factory default setting for RF Telnet Access is disabled and PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding is enabled. Page 7-112 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Configuring SNMP Access The SNMPv3 interface provides a more secure method to perform SNMP operations. This standard provides services for authentication, data integrity and message encryption over SNMP. Refer to Planning for SNMPv3 operation on page 3-43 for details. Note The factory default setting for SNMP is SNMPv2c Only. Procedure 21 Configuring SNMPv3 1 Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials 2 On the AP/SM GUI, navigate to Configuration > Security Page 3 Under GUI heading Security Mode, set SNMP to SNMPv3 Only 4 Click the Save Changes button 5 Go to Configuration > SNMP Page 6 Under GUI heading SNMPv3 setting, set Engine ID, SNMPv3 Security Level, SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol, SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol, SNMPv3 Read-Only User, SNMPv3 Read/Write User, SNMPv3 Trap Configuration parameters:
Engine ID :
Each radio (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) has a distinct SNMP authoritative engine identified by a unique Engine ID. While the Engine ID is configurable to the operator it is expected that the operator follow the guidelines of the SNMPEngineID defined in the SNMP-FRAMEWORK-
MIB (RFC 3411). The default Engine ID is the MAC address of the device. SNMPv3 security level, Authentication and Privacy Protocol The authentication allows authentication of SNMPv3 user and privacy allows for encryption of SNMPv3 message. 450 Platform Family supports MD5 authentication and CBC-DES privacy protocols.

Disabledthe AP/BHM requires no SMs/BHS to authenticate. (Factory default). Authentication Server the AP/BHM requires any SM/BHS that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration. AP PreShared Key - The AP/BHM acts as the authentication server to its SMs/BHS and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP/BHM and all SMs/BHS desired to register to that AP/BHM. There is also an option of leaving the AP/BHM and SMs/BHS at their default setting of using the Default Key.

Note Only the frequencies available for your region and the selected Channel bandwidth are displayed. Table 141 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz Page 7-128 Chapter 7: Configuration Attribute Frequency Band Frequency Carrier Channel Bandwidth Cyclic Prefix Color Code Subscriber Color Code Rescan (When not on a Primary Color Code) Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle Configuring radio parameters Meaning Select the desired operating frequency band. Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the AP and the SM. The supported Channel Bandwidths are 5MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40 MHz. OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol
(slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). This timer may be utilized to initiate SM rescans in order to register to an AP configured with the SMs primary color code. The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan (if this AP is not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will only fire once if the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a nonzero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan expires, the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle is started. If the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a zero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan timer expires, the SM will immediately go into rescan mode The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan while idle (if this AP is not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will fire periodic events. The fired event determines if any RF unicast traffic (either inbound or outbound) has occurred since the last event. If the results of the event determine that no RF unicast traffic has occurred (SM is idle), then the subscriber will rescan. Page 7-129 Chapter 7: Configuration Installation Color Code Max Range Downlink Data Configuring radio parameters With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-
10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If a SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Enter a number of miles (or kilometers divided by 1.61, then rounded to an integer) for the furthest distance from which a SM is allowed to register to this AP. Do not set the distance to any greater number of miles. A greater distance does not increase the power of transmission from the AP. For example, with a 20 MHz channel and 2.5 ms frame, every additional 2.24 miles reduces the data air time by one symbol (around 1% of the frame). Regardless of this distance, the SM must meet the minimum requirements for an acceptable link. The parameters have to be selected so that there is no overlap between one AP transmitting and another AP receiving. A co-location tool is provided to help with selecting sets of parameters that allow co-
location. The default value of this parameter is 2 miles (3.2 km). Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted from the AP to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate
(uplink and downlink total) throughput on the AP is 90 Mb, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 67.5 Mb for the downlink and 22.5 Mb for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 75%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. can reduce aggregate throughput. Note In order to prevent self-interference, the frame configuration needs to align which includes Downlink Data, Max Range and Contention slots. For DFS regions, the maximum Downlink % for a 5.4 GHz radio is 75% only. Contention Slots
(a.k.a. Control Slots) This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page 7-176. Page 7-130 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters EIRP SM Receive Target Level Receive Quality Debug Near Field Operation This field indicates the combined power level at which the AP will transmit, based on the Country Code. It also includes the antenna gain and array gain. Each SMs Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP. The AP monitors the received power from each SM, and adjusts each SMs Transmitter Output Power so that the received power at the AP from that SM is not greater what is set in this field. This value represents the transmitted and received power (combined power) perceived on the SM. To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-
QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing. This parameter is enabled by the Near Field Operation control. This is only available when the EIRP is set to 22 dBm or below. When Near Field Operation is enabled, the Near Field Range is used to apply compensation to the units calibration to support operation in the near field.

(a.k.a. Control Slots) Broadcast Repeat Count Transmitter Output Power Configuring radio parameters This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page7-176. The default is 2 repeats (in addition to the original broadcast packet, for a total of 3 packets sent for every one needed), and is settable to 1 or 0 repeats
(2 or 1 packets for every broadcast). ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) is not present in downlink broadcast packets, since it can cause unnecessary uplink traffic from every SM for each broadcast packet. For successful transport without ARQ, the AP repeats downlink broadcast packets. The SMs filter out all repeated broadcast packets and, thus, do not transport further. The default of 2 repeats is optimum for typical uses of the network as an internet access system. In applications with heavy download broadcast such as video distribution, overall throughput is significantly improved by setting the repeat count to 1 or 0. This avoids flooding the downlink with repeat broadcast packets. This value represents the combined power of the APs two transmitters. Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example 900 MHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to maintain awareness of applicable regulations. calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. External Gain SM Receive Target Level Multicast VC Data Rate This value needs to correspond to the published gain of the antenna used to ensure the radio will meet regulatory requirements. See Table 141 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-127 This pull down menu of the Multicast Data Control screen helps in configuring multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 4X or 6X. The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 Series and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. Page 7-135 Chapter 7: Configuration Multicast Repeat Count Multicast Downlink CIR SM Registration All PMP 430 SM Registration Control Message PMP 450/430 Legacy mode PMP 430 Interop Mode Receive Quality Debug Configuring radio parameters This value is the number of packets that are repeated for every multicast VC packet received on the AP (located under Radio tab of Configuration). Multicast (like Broadcast) packets go over a VC that is shared by all SMs, so there is no guaranteed delivery. The repeat count is an attempt to improve the odds of the packets getting over the link. If the user has issues with packets getting dropped, they can use this parameter to improve the performance at the cost of the overall throughput possible on that channel. The default value is 0. This value is the committed information rate for the multicast downlink VC
(located under the Radio tab of Configuration). The default value is 0 kbps. The range of this parameter is based on the number of repeat counts. The higher the repeat count, the lower the range for the multicast downlink CIR. This field allows to control registration of all type 450 Platform Family SM including 430 Series SM(450i/450/430) or 450i Series SM only. This field allows to control of PMP 430 SMs whether PMP 430 SMs are allowed to register to PMP 450i APs. By default, it is enabled and PMP 430 SM registrations are accepted. When this field is set to disabled, PMP 430 SMs registrations fail with reject reason 8. This will cause SMs to lock out the AP for 15 minutes. Note This option is not displayed if the Frame Period is set to 5 ms. This option applies only to PMP 450/450i Series APs -
5 GHz. Controls whether the control messages are sent in MIMO-B or MIMO-A mode. MIMO-A is recommended. However, if an AP on 13.2 is attempting to connect to an SM on 13.1.3 or before, changing to MIMO-B may aid in getting the SM registered. Disabled: It is factory default setting. It allows to operate in 450i Series capabilities. Enabled: It allows to operate radio in Legacy mode PMP 450 or 430. For n-1 compatibility, In SISO mode this forces the AP to only send Control and Beacons over one of the RF paths. To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing.

See Radio Frequency Scan Selection List on page 7-169. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Note Selecting multiple channel bandwidths will increase registration and re-registration times. Cyclic Prefix Scan The cyclic prefix for which AP scanning is executed. AP Selection Method Operators may configure the method by which a scanning SM selects an AP. Color Code 1 By default, AP Selection Method is set to Optimize for Throughput, which has been the mode of operation in releases prior to 12.0.3.1. Power Level: AP selection based solely on power level Note For operation with a PMP 450m AP, select the Power Level option or Optimize for Throughput: AP selection based on throughput optimization the selection decision is based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM registrations to the AP (which affects system contention performance). Color code allows you to force the SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Specify a value from 0 to 254. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). SMs may be configured with up to 20 color codes. These color codes can be tagged as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, or Disable. When the SM is scanning for APs, it will first attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs primary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs secondary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs tertiary color codes. This is all done in the scanning mode of the SM and will repeat until a registration has occurred. Page 7-142 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Color codes in the same priority group are treated equally. For example, all APs matching one of the SMs primary color codes are analyzed equally. Likewise, this evaluation is done for the secondary and tertiary groups in order. The analysis for selecting an AP within a priority group is based on various inputs, including signal strength and number of SMs already registered to each AP. The first color code in the configuration is the pre-Release 9.5 color code. Thus, it is always a primary color code for legacy reasons. The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code. With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration
(Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. This value represents the antenna gain. For ODUs with integrated antenna, this is set at the correct value in the factory. For Connectorized ODUs with external antenna, the user must set this value to the overall antenna gain, including any RF cable loss between the ODU and the antenna. Installation Color Code External Gain Large VC data Queue SM and BH have a configurable option used to prevent packet loss in the Receive Quality Debug uplink due to bursting IP traffic. This is designed for IP burst traffic particular to video surveillance applications. To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing. Note The frequencies that a user can select are controlled by the country or a region and the Channel Bandwidth selected. There can be a case where a user adds a custom frequency
(from the Custom Frequencies page on page 7-172) and cannot see it in the pull down menu.

The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the AP and the SM. The supported Channel Bandwidths are 5, 7, 10 and 20 MHz. See Table 141 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-127. See Table 141 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-127. See Table 142 PMP 450i AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-132. See Table 141 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-127 In 900 MHz, Pager Reject filter is placed on the AP to block Pager signals which could cause interference to the whole band. The Pager signals typically operate in the 928-930 frequency range. When the filter is enabled, the signals of 920 MHz and above are attenuated which enables better reception of signals in the rest of the band. Note that the AP/SM should not be configured on the frequencies of 920 MHz and above when this filter is enabled. Page 7-145 Chapter 7: Configuration Frame Alignment Legacy Mode Configuring radio parameters See Table 142 PMP 450i AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-132. Radio page - PTP 450i BHM 5 GHz The Radio page of PTP 450i BHM is explained in Table 145. Table 145 PTP 450i BHM Radio page attributes 5 GHz Page 7-146 Chapter 7: Configuration Attribute Frequency Band Frequency Carrier Configuring radio parameters Meaning Select the operating frequency band of the radio. The supported bands are 4.9 GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz. Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the BHM and the BHS. Cyclic Prefix Frame Period Color Code Large VC data Q Downlink Data OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol
(slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. Select the Frame Period of the radio. The support Frame Periods are : 5 ms and 2.5 ms. Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the BHM and the BHS must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each link a different color code. Color code allows you to force a BHS to register to only a specific BHM. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Enable Large VC Q for applications that burst data high rates. Large Qs may decrease effective throughput for TCP application. Disable Large VC Q if application need not handle bursts of data. Large Qs may decrease effective throughput for TCP application. Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted from the BHM to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate
(uplink and downlink total) throughput on the BHM is 132 Mbps, then 75%
specified for this parameter allocates 99 Mbps for the downlink and 33 Mbps for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 50%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Note In order to prevent self-interference, the frame configuration needs to align. This includes Downlink Data, Max Range and Contention slots. Transmit Power This value represents the combined power of the BHMs two transmitters. Nations and regions may regulate transmit power. For example PTP 450i Series modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. Page 7-147 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to:
Maintain awareness of applicable regulations. Calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. Confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. Confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. This value needs to correspond to the published gain of the antenna used to ensure the radio will meet regulatory requirements. To aid in link performance monitoring, the BHM and BHS now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this slightly degrades the packet during per second processing.

See Radio Frequency Scan Selection List on page 7-169. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Note Selecting multiple channel bandwidths will increase registration and re-registration times. Page 7-150 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Cyclic Prefix Scan The cyclic prefix for which BHM scanning is executed. Color code allows to force the BHS to register to only a specific BHM, even where the BHS can communicate with multiple BHMs. For registration to occur, the color code of the BHS and the BHM must match. Specify a value from 0 to 254. The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code. BHM and BHS have a configurable option used to prevent packet loss in the uplink due to bursting IP traffic. This is designed for IP burst traffic particular to video surveillance applications.

Table 147 PMP 450b SM Radio attributes 5 GHz Page 7-152 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Page 7-153 Chapter 7: Configuration Attribute Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List Channel Bandwidth Scan Configuring radio parameters Meaning Check the frequencies that SM has to scan for AP transmissions. See Radio Frequency Scan Selection List on page 7-169. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Note Selecting multiple channel bandwidths will increase registration and re-registration times. Cyclic Prefix Scan The cyclic prefix for which AP scanning is executed. AP Selection Method Operators may configure the method by which a scanning SM selects an AP. Color Code 1 By default, AP Selection Method is set to Optimize for Throughput, which has been the mode of operation in releases prior to 12.0.3.1. Power Level: AP selection based solely on power level Note For operation with a PMP 450m AP, select the Power Level option or Optimize for Throughput: AP selection based on throughput optimization the selection decision is based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM registrations to the AP (which affects system contention performance). Color code allows you to force the SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Specify a value from 0 to 254. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). SMs may be configured with up to 20 color codes. These color codes can be tagged as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, or Disable. When the SM is scanning for APs, it will first attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs primary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs secondary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs tertiary color codes. This is all done in the scanning mode of the SM and will repeat until a registration has occurred. Page 7-154 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Color codes in the same priority group are treated equally. For example, all APs matching one of the SMs primary color codes are analyzed equally. Likewise, this evaluation is done for the secondary and tertiary groups in order. The analysis for selecting an AP within a priority group is based on various inputs, including signal strength and number of SMs already registered to each AP. The first color code in the configuration is the pre-Release 9.5 color code. Thus, it is always a primary color code for legacy reasons. The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code. With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration
(Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. This value represents the antenna gain.

This device may not cause harmful interference, and This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation Page 3 Important regulatory information The 450 Platform Family products are certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands). Application software Download the latest 450 Platform Family software and install it in the Outdoor Units (ODUs) before deploying the equipment. Instructions for installing software are provided in Upgrading the software version and using CNUT on page 1-67. USA specific information The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires manufacturers to implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz. Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of FCC rules; specifically, it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to the FCC. Cambium supplies variants of the 5 GHz 450, 450i, 450b, and 450m Series specifically for operation in the USA to comply with FCC requirements (KDB 905462 D02 UNII DFS Compliance Procedures New Rules v02). These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. To ensure compliance when using PMP 450 Series and PTP 450 Series, follow the recommendation in Avoidance of weather radars (USA only). External antennas When using a connectorized version of the product, the conducted transmit power may need to be reduced to ensure the regulatory limit on transmitter EIRP is not exceeded. The installer must have an understanding of how to compute the effective antenna gain from the actual antenna gain and the feeder cable losses. The range of permissible values for maximum antenna gain and feeder cable losses are included in this user guide together with a sample calculation. The product GUI automatically applies the correct conducted power limit to ensure that it is not possible for the installation to exceed the EIRP limit, when the appropriate values for antenna gain and feeder cable losses are entered into the GUI. Page 4 Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) To comply with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470 -
5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), units which are installed within 35 km (22 miles) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system (or have a line of sight propagation path to such a system) must be configured to avoid any frequency within +30 MHz or 30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR device. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km (22 miles) radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km (22 miles) radius of the TDWRs. If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used. Devices with bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation. When planning a link in the USA, visit http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx, enter the location of the planned link and search for TDWR radars. If a TDWR system is located within 35 km (22 miles) or has line of sight propagation to the PTP device, perform the following tasks:
Register the installation on http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx. Make a list of channel center frequencies that must be barred, that is, those falling within
+30 MHz or 30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR radars. The 450 Platform Family AP must be configured to not operate on the affected channels. Canada specific information Caution This device complies with ISEDC s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. ISEDC requires manufacturers to implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz. Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of ISEDC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to ISEDC . In order to comply with these ISEDC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the 450 Platform Family for operation in Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with ISEDC rules. In particular, operation of radio channels overlapping the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz is not allowed and these channels are permanently barred. In addition, other channels may also need to be barred when operating close to weather radar installations. Other variants of the 450 Platform Family are available for use in the rest of the world, but these variants are not supplied to Canada except under strict controls, when they are needed for export and deployment outside Canada.

L'exploitation est autorise aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radiolectrique subi, mme si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. ISEDC a demand aux fabricants de mettre en uvre des mcanismes spcifiques pour viter dinterfrer avec des systmes radar fonctionnant dans la bande 5600 MHz 5650 MHz. Ces mcanismes doivent tre mis en uvre dans tous les produits capables de fonctionner l'extrieur dans la bande 5470 MHz 5725 MHz. Les fabricants doivent s'assurer que les produits de radiocommunications ne peuvent pas tre configurs pour fonctionner en dehors des rgles ISEDC, en particulier, il ne doit pas tre possible de dsactiver ou modifier les fonctions de protection des radars qui ont t dmontrs ISEDC. Afin de se conformer ces exigences de ISEDC, Cambium fournit des variantes du 450 Platform Family exclusivement pour le Canada. Ces variantes ne permettent pas lquipement de fonctionner en dehors des rgles de ISEDC. En particulier, le fonctionnement des canaux de radio qui chevauchent la bande 5600-5650 MHz est interdite et ces canaux sont dfinitivement exclus. ISEDC Approved Antennas The list of antennas used to obtain ISEDC approvals is provided in section Country specific radio regulations, Innovation Science and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC) , Table 225. Antennas externes Lorsque vous utilisez une version du produit sans antenne intgre, il peut tre ncessaire de rduire la puissance d'mission pour garantir que la limite rglementaire de puissance isotrope rayonne quivalente (PIRE) n'est pas dpasse.

Configuring time settings Applicable products PMP: AP PTP: BHM To proceed with the test setup, click the Configuration link on the left side of the General Status page. When the AP responds by opening the Configuration page to the General page, click the Time tab. Figure 7 Time tab of the AP/BHM To have each log in the AP/BHM correlated to a meaningful time and date, either a reliable network element must pass time and date to the AP/BHM or you must set the time and date whenever a power cycle of the AP/BHM has occurred. A network element passes time and date in any of the following scenarios:
A connected CMM4 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received). A separate NTP server is addressable from the AP/BHM. If the AP/BHM should obtain time and date from a CMM4, or a separate NTP server, enter the IP address of the CMM4 or NTP server on this tab. To force the AP/BHM to obtain time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP server, click Get Time through NTP. Page 1-18 Chapter 1: Configuration If you enter a time and date, the format for entry is Figure 8 Time and date entry formats Time:

With the other hand, depress the lever in the back of the base cover (smaller shell). Remove the base cover. Plug one end of a CAT5 Ethernet cable into the SM PSU port Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the jack in the pig tail that hangs from the power supply Roughly aim the SM/BHS toward the AP/BHM Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet Warning From this point until you remove power from the AP/BHM, stay at least as far from the AP/BHM as the minimum separation distance specified in Calculated distances and power compliance margins in chapter 11. 6 Repeat the foregoing steps for each SM/BHS that you wish to include in the test. Page 1-19 Chapter 1: Configuration Quick link setup Viewing the Session Status of the AP/BHM to determine test registration Once the SMs/BHS under test are powered on, return to the computing device to determine if the SM/BHS units have registered to the AP/BHM. Note In order for accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. The Session Status tab provides information about each SM/BHS that has registered to the AP/BHM. This information is useful for managing and troubleshooting a system. All information that you have entered in the Site Name field of the SM/BHS displays in the Session Status tab of the linked AP/BHM. The Session Status tab also includes the current active values on each SM( or BHS) (LUID) for MIR, and VLAN, as well as the source of these values (representing the SM/BHS itself, Authentication Server, or the AP/BHM and cap, if anyfor example, APCAP as shown above).. As an SM/BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the configuration source that this page displays for the associated LUID may change. After registration, however, the displayed source is stable and can be trusted. Idle subscribers may be included or removed from the session status display by enabling or disabling, respectively, the Show Idle Sessions parameter. Enabling or disabling this parameter only affects the GUI display of subscribers, not the registration status. The SessionStatus.xml hyperlink allows user to export session status page from web management interface of AP/BHM. The session status page will be exported in xml file.

5 Click Reboot button. The IP page of AP/SM/BHM/BHS is explained in Table 3. Page 1-24 Chapter 1: Configuration Table 3 IP interface attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute IP Address Meaning Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Subnet Mask Defines the address range of the connected IP network. Gateway IP Address DHCP state DNS IP Address The IP address of a computer on the current network that acts as a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets from and to other networks. If Enabled is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable (read only), in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for Page 1-25 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces the management interface of the device. DNS servers may be configured automatically from the DHCP response when DHCP is enabled for the management interface of the device. Optionally devices may be configured to set the DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is enabled for the management interface. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS Server The first address used for DNS resolution. Alternate DNS Server If the Preferred DNS server cannot be reached, the Alternate DNS Server is used. Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Advanced LAN1 IP Configuration Default alternate LAN1 IP address Hardcoded default alternate IP address (169.254.1.1) that is available only when connected to the Ethernet port. When enabled, user can configure a second IP address for the bridge which is other than the hardcoded IP address (169.254.1.1).

Page 1-27 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT, DHCP Server, DHCP Client and DMZ Applicable products PMP:
SM The system provides NAT (Network Address Translation) for SMs in the following combinations of NAT and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
NAT Disabled NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP Server NAT with DHCP Client(DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) NAT with DHCP Server NAT without DHCP NAT NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic (separate from its address for management), terminates transport traffic and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. 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. Note When NAT is enabled, a reduction in throughput is introduced in the system (due to processing overhead). DHCP DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus, DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each SM provides the following:
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 allotment of one IP address behind the SM for a device to logically exist outside the firewall and receive network traffic. The first three octets of this IP address must be identical to the first three octets of the NAT private IP address. 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. Page 1-28 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT Disabled The NAT Disabled implementation is illustrated in Figure 10. Figure 10 NAT disabled implementation NAT with DHCP Client and DHCP Server The NAT with DHCP Client and DHCP server is illustrated in Figure 11. Page 1-29 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Figure 11 NAT with DHCP client and DHCP server implementation NAT with DHCP Client Figure 12 NAT with DHCP client implementation Page 1-30 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT with DHCP Server Figure 13 NAT with DHCP server implementation NAT without DHCP Figure 14 NAT without DHCP implementation Page 1-31 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT and VPNs VPN technology provides the benefits of a private network during communication over a public network. One typical use of a VPN is to connect employees remotely (who are at home or in a different city), with their corporate network through a public Internet. Any of several VPN implementation schemes is possible. By design, NAT translates or changes addresses, and thus interferes with a VPN that is not specifically supported by a given NAT implementation. With NAT enabled, SM supports L2TP over IPSec (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol over IP Security) VPNs and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPNs. With NAT disabled, SM supports all types of VPNs. Page 1-32 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP interface with NAT disabled - SM The IP page of SM with NAT disabled is explained in Table 6. Table 6 IP attributes - SM with NAT disabled Attribute IP Address Meaning Enter the non-routable IP address to associate with the Ethernet connection on this SM. (The default IP address from the factory is 169.254.1.1.) If you forget this parameter, you must both:
physically access the module. use recovery mode to access the module configuration parameters at 169.254.1.1. Note Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. Network Accessibility Specify whether the IP address of the SM must be visible to only a device connected to the SM by Ethernet (Local) or be visible to the AP/BHM as well
(Public). Subnet Mask Enter an appropriate subnet mask for the SM to communicate on the network. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Gateway IP Address Enter the appropriate gateway for the SM to communicate with the network. The default gateway is 169.254.0.0. DHCP state If you select Enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable, but not settable, in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. In this tab, DHCP State is settable only if the Network Accessibility parameter in the IP tab is set to Public. This parameter is also settable in the NAT tab of the Configuration web page, but only when NAT is enabled. Page 1-33 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces If the DHCP state parameter is set to Enabled in the Configuration > IP sub-
menu of the SM/BHS, do not check the BootpClient option for Packet Filter Types in its Protocol Filtering tab, because doing so can block the DHCP request. (Filters apply to all packets that leave the SM via its RF interface, including those that the SM itself generates.) If you want to keep DHCP enabled and avoid the blocking scenario, select the Bootp Server option instead. This will result in responses being appropriately filtered and discarded. DHCP DNS IP Address Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. DNS servers may be configured automatically from the DHCP response when DHCP is enabled for the management interface of the device. Optionally devices may be configured to set the DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is enabled for the management interface. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS Server The first DNS server used for DNS resolution. Alternate DNS Server The second DNS server used for DNS resolution. Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Page 1-34 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP interface with NAT enabled - SM The IP page of SM with NAT enabled is explained in Table 7. Table 7 IP attributes - SM with NAT enabled Meaning Assign an IP address for SM/BHS management through Ethernet access to the SM/BHS. Set only the first three bytes. The last byte is permanently set to 1. This address becomes the base for the range of DHCP-assigned addresses. Assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a more restrictive subnet mask. Set only the last byte of this subnet mask. Each of the first three bytes is permanently set to 255. Attribute IP Address Subnet Mask Page 1-35 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT tab with NAT disabled - SM The NAT tab of SM with NAT disabled is explained in Table 8. Table 8 NAT attributes - SM with NAT disabled Page 1-36 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning NAT Enable/Disable This parameter enables or disables the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature for the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP/BHM, but this may constrain network design. IP Address Subnet Mask This field displays the IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. This field displays the subnet mask for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. Gateway IP Address This field displays the gateway IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. ARP Cache Timeout If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes), enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field is 20 minutes. TCP Session Garbage Timeout Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter to lower than the default value of 120 minutes. This action makes additional resources available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates. UDP Session Garbage Timeout You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based on network performance. The default value of this parameter is 4 minutes. Translation Table Size Total number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM/BHS. Page 1-37 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Note When NAT is disabled, the following parameters are not required to be configurable:
WAN Inter face > Connection Type, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway IP address LAN Interface > IP Address LAN DHCP Server > DHCP Server Enable/Disable, DHCP Server Lease Timeout, Number of IPs to Lease, DNS Server Proxy, DNS IP Address, Preferred DNS IP address, Alternate DNS IP address Remote Management Interface > Remote Management Interface, IP address, Subnet Mask, DHCP DNS IP Address, Preferred DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server, Domain Name NAT Protocol Parameters > ARP Cache Timeout, TCP Session Garbage Timeout, UDP Session Garbage Timeout, Translation Table Size Page 1-38 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT tab with NAT enabled - SM The NAT tab of SM with NAT enabled is explained in Table 9. Table 9 NAT attributes - SM with NAT enabled Page 1-39 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning NAT Enable/Disable This parameter enables or disabled the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature for the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP, but this may constrain network design. WAN Interface The WAN interface is the RF-side address for transport traffic. Connection Type This parameter may be set to Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must be properly populated. DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the DHCP server configures the interface. PPPoEwhen this is the selection, the information from the PPPoE server configures the interface. Subnet Mask If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM for RF transport traffic. Gateway IP Address Reply to Ping on WAN Interface LAN Interface IP Address Subnet Mask If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM for RF transport traffic. By default, the radio interface does not respond to pings. If you use a management system (such as WM) that will occasionally ping the SM, set this parameter to Enabled. The LAN interface is both the management access through the Ethernet port and the Ethernet-side address for transport traffic. When NAT is enabled, this interface is redundantly shown as the NAT Network Interface Configuration on the IP tab of the Configuration web page in the SM. Assign an IP address for SM/BHS management through Ethernet access to the SM. This address becomes the base for the range of DHCP-assigned addresses. Assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a more restrictive subnet mask. Set only the last byte of this subnet mask. Each of the first three bytes is permanently set to 255. DMZ Enable Either enable or disable DMZ for this SM/BHS. Page 1-40 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DMZ IP Address DHCP Server DHCP Server Enable/Disable DHCP Server Lease Timeout DHCP Start IP If you enable DMZ in the parameter above, set the last byte of the DMZ host IP address to use for this SM when DMZ is enabled. Only one such address is allowed. The first three bytes are identical to those of the NAT private IP address. Ensure that the device that receives network traffic behind this SM is assigned this address. The system provides a warning if you enter an address within the range that DHCP can assign. This is the server (in the SM) that provides an IP address to the device connected to the Ethernet port of the SM. Select either Enabled or Disabled. Enable to:
Allow this SM to assign IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway IP addresses to attached devices. Assign a start address for DHCP. Designate how many IP addresses may be temporarily used (leased). Disable to:
Restrict SM/BHS from assigning addresses to attached devices. Based on network performance, enter the number of days between when the DHCP server assigns an IP address and when that address expires. The range of values for this parameter is 1 to 30 days. The default value is 30 days. If you enable DHCP Server below, set the last byte of the starting IP address that the DHCP server assigns. The first three bytes are identical to those of the NAT private IP address. Number of IPs to Lease Enter how many IP addresses the DHCP server is allowed to assign. The default value is 50 addresses. DNS Server Proxy This parameter enables or disables advertisement of the SM/BHS as the DNS server. On initial boot up of a SM with the NAT WAN interface configured as DHCP or PPPoE, the SM module will not have DNS information immediately. With DNS Server Proxy disabled, the clients will renew their lease about every minute until the SM has the DNS information to give out. At this point the SM will go to the full configured lease time period which is 30 days by default. With DNS Server Proxy enabled, the SM will give out full term leases with its NAT LAN IP as the DNS server. DNS IP Address Select either:
Obtain Automatically to allow the system to set the IP address of the DNS server or Set Manually to enable yourself to set both a preferred and an alternate DNS IP address. Preferred DNS IP Address Enter the preferred DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is set to Set Manually. Page 1-41 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Alternate DNS IP Address Remote Management Interface Enter the DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is set to Set Manually and no response is received from the preferred DNS IP address. To offer greater flexibility in IP address management, the NAT-enabled SMs configured WAN Interface IP address may now be used as the device Remote Management Interface (unless the SMs PPPoE client is set to Enabled) Disable: When this interface is set to Disable, the SM is not directly accessible by IP address. Management access is only possible through either the LAN (Ethernet) interface or a link from an AP web page into the WAN
(RF-side) interface. Enable (Standalone Config): When this interface is set to Enable
(Standalone Config), to manage the SM/BHS the device must be accessed by the IP addressing information provided in the Remote Configuration Interface section. Note When configuring PPPoE over the link, use this configuration option (PPPoE traffic is routed via the IP addressing specified in section Remote Configuration Interface). Enable (Use WAN Interface): When this interface is set to Enable (Use WAN Interface), the Remote Configuration Interface information is greyed out, and the SM is managed via the IP addressing specified in section WAN Interface). Note When using this configuration, the ports defined in section Configuration, Port Configuration are consumed by the device. For example, if FTP Port is configured as 21 by the SM, an FTP server situated below the SM must use a port other than 21. This also applies to DMZ devices; any ports specified in section Configuration, Port Configuration will not be translated through the NAT, they are consumed by the devices network stack for management. Connection Type This parameter can be set to:
IP Address Subnet Mask Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must be properly populated. DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the DHCP server configures the interface. If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the IP address of the SM for RF management traffic. If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM for RF management traffic. Page 1-42 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Gateway IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM for RF management traffic. Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. DHCP DNS IP Address Select either:
Obtain Automatically to allow the system to set the IP address of the DNS server. or Set Manually to enable yourself to set both a preferred and an alternate DNS IP address. Preferred DNS Server Enter the preferred DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is set to Set Manually. Alternate DNS Server Enter the DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is set to Set Manually and no response is received from the preferred DNS IP address. Domain Name Domain Name to use for management DNS configuration. This domain name may be concatenated to DNS names used configured for the remote configuration interface. ARP Cache Timeout If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes), enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field is 20 (minutes). TCP Session Garbage Timeout Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter to lower than the default value of 120 (minutes). This action makes additional resources available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates. UDP Session Garbage Timeout You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based on network performance. The default value of this parameter is 4 (minutes). Page 1-43 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT DNS Considerations - SM SM DNS behavior is different depending on the accessibility of the SM. When NAT is enabled the DNS configuration that is discussed in this document is tied to the RF Remote Configuration Interface, which must be enabled to utilize DNS Client functionality. Note that the WAN DNS settings when NAT is enabled are unchanged with the addition of the management DNS feature discussed in this document.

Table 11 NAT Port Mapping attributes - SM Attribute Meaning Port Map 1 to 10 Separate parameters allow you to distinguish NAT ports from each other by assigning a unique combination of port number, protocol for traffic through the port, and IP address for access to the port DHCP BHS Applicable products PTP: BHM Page 1-44 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus, DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each BHS provides:
A DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the BHS by Ethernet protocol. A DHCP client that receives an IP address for the BHS from a network DHCP server. Reconnecting to the management PC If the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address of the unit have been updated to meet network requirements, then reconfigure the local management PC to use an IP address that is valid for the network. See Configuring the management PC on page 1-4. Once the unit reboots, log in using the new IP address. See Logging into the web interface on page 1-6. VLAN configuration for PMP Applicable products PMP: AP SM VLAN Remarking VLAN Remarking feature allows the user to change the VLAN ID and priority of both upstream and downstream packets at the Ethernet Interface. The remarking configuration is available for:
1. VLAN ID re-marking 2. 802.1p priority re-marking Note For Q-in-Q VLAN tagged frame, re-marking is performed on the outer tag. Page 1-45 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN ID Remarking SM supports the ability to re-mark the VLAN ID on both upstream and downstream VLAN frames at the Ethernet interface. For instance, a configuration can be added to re-mark VLAN ID x to VLAN ID y as shown in Table 12. AP does not support VLAN ID remarking. Table 12 VLAN Remarking Example VLAN frame direction Remarking Upstream SM receives VLAN ID x frame at the Ethernet interface, checks the configuration and re-marks to VLAN ID y. So VLAN ID y frame comes out of APs Ethernet interface. When SM re-marks, a dynamic entry in VLAN membership table for y is added to allow reception of VLAN ID y downstream packet. AP receives VLAN ID y frame at the Ethernet interface and sends to SM. SM accepts the frame as it has an entry in the membership table and re-
marks to VLAN ID x. This reverse re- marking is necessary because the downstream devices do not know of re-marking and are expecting VLAN x frames. This remarking is done just before sending the packet out on Ethernet interface. Downstream 802.1P Remarking AP/BHM and SM/BHS allow re-marking of 802.1p priority bits for the frames received at the Ethernet interface. Priority bits are not re-marked for the packets sent out of Ethernet interface (reverse direction). Configuration must be added at SM/BHS for upstream frames and at AP/BHM for downstream frames. VLAN Priority Bits configuration VLAN Priority Bits Configuration feature allows the user to configure the three 802.1p bits upon assigning VLAN to an ingress packet. The priority bits configuration is available for:
Default Port VID Provider VIDs MAC Address mapped Port VID Management VID Default Port VID This VID is used for untagged frames and will correspond to the Q-Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is QinQ). Page 1-46 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces The priority bits used in the Q-tag/C-tag are configurable. The configuration can be:
Promote IPv4/IPv6 priority The priority in the IP header is copied to the Q-tag/C-tag. Define priority Specify the priority in the range of 0 to 7. This value is used as priority in the Q-
tag/C-tag. MAC Address Mapped VID If a packet arrives at the SM/BHS that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frames Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag
(QinQ port). The priority bits used in the Q-tag/C-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Provider VID The provider VID is used for the S-tag. The priority bits used in the S-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Provider VID has an extra priority configuration:
Copy inner tag 802.1p priority The priority in the C-tag is copied to the S-tag. Management VID This VID is used to communicate with AP/BHM and SM/BHS for management purposes. The priority bits used in the Q-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Use APs Management VID for ICC connected SM This feature allows the SM to use the APs management VLAN ID when the SM is registered to the AP via ICC. This feature is useful for the customer who uses a different management VID for the SM and AP and Zero Touch feature is enabled for configuration. This parameter may be accessed via the Configuration > VLAN page on the APs web management interface. Page 1-47 Chapter 1: Configuration VLAN page of AP The VLAN tab of the AP/BHM is explained in Table 13. Table 13 AP/BHM VLAN tab attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute VLAN Always use Local VLAN Config Allow Frame Types Dynamic Learning Meaning Specify whether VLAN functionality for the AP and all linked SMs must
(Enabled) or may not (Disabled) be allowed. The default value is Disabled. Enable this option before you reboot this AP as a SM to use it to perform spectrum analysis. Once the spectrum analysis completes, disable this option before you reboot the module as an AP, Select the type of arriving frames that the AP must tag, using the VID that is stored in the Untagged Ingress VID parameter. The default value is All Frames. Specify whether the AP must (Enabled) or not (Disabled) add the VLAN IDs
(VIDs) of upstream frames to the VID table. (The AP passes frames with VIDs that are stored in the table both upstream and downstream.). The default value is Enabled. Page 1-48 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Aging Timeout Specify how long the AP must keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). Note VIDs that you enter for the Management VID and VLAN Membership parameters do not time out. Management VID Enter the VID that the operator wishes to use to communicate with the module manager. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. QinQ EtherType Use AP's Management VID for ICC connected SM Modules can be configured with 802.1ad Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-
VLAN) tagging which is a way for an operator to put an 802.1Q VLAN inside of an 802.1ad VLAN. A nested VLAN, which is the original 802.1Q tag and a new second 802.1ad tag, allows for bridging of VLAN traffic across a network and segregates the broadcast domains of 802.1Q VLANs. Q-in-Q can be used with PPPoE and/or NAT. The 802.1ad standard defines the S-VLAN as the Service Provider VLAN and the C-VLAN as the customer VLAN. The radio software does 2 layer Q-in-Q whereby the C-VLAN is the 802.1Q tag and the S-VLAN is the second layer Q tag as shown below:
Table 14 Q-in-Q Ethernet frame Ethernet Header S-VLAN EthType 0x88a8 C-VLAN EthType 0x8100 IP Data EthType 0x0800 The 802.1ad S-VLAN is the outer VLAN that is configurable on the Configuration > VLAN web page of the AP. The Q-in-Q EtherType parameter is configured with a default EtherType of 0x88a8 in addition to four alternate EtherTypes that can be configured to aid in interoperability with existing networks that use a different EtherType than the default. The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top-
level concept, this operates on the outermost tag at any given time, either pushing a tag on or popping a tag off. This means packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag pushed on) or an untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag popped off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.1Q frame (with the tag popped off) since the radio software only supports 2 levels of tags. This field allows the SM to use the APs management VLAN ID when the SM is registered to the AP via ICC. Page 1-49 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN Not Active VLAN Membership Table Configuration When VLAN is enabled in the AP, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. For each VLAN in which you want the AP to be a member, enter the VLAN ID and then click the Add Member button. Similarly, for any VLAN in which you want the AP to no longer be a member, enter the VLAN ID and then click the Remove Member button. VLAN Membership table This field lists the VLANs that an AP is a member of. As the user adds a number between 1 and 4094, this number is populated here. Source VLAN (Range:
1-4094) Enter the VID for which the operator wishes to remark the 802.1p priority for the downstream packets. The range of values is 1 to 4094. The default value is 1. Remark Priority
(Range 0-7) This is the priority you can assign to the VLAN Tagged packet. Priority of 0 is the highest. VLAN Remarking table As the user enters a VLAN and a Remarking priority, this information is added in this table. Page 1-50 Chapter 1: Configuration VLAN page of SM The VLAN tab of SM/BHS is explained in Table 15. Table 15 SM VLAN attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Page 1-51 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Port Type Accept QinQ Frames Allow Frame Types Dynamic Learning By default, this is Q, indicating that it is to operate in the existing manner. The other option is Q-in-Q, which indicates that it must be adding and removing the S-Tag, and adding a C-Tag if necessary for untagged packets. The VLAN Port type corresponds to the Ethernet port of the SM/BHS. Currently, the internal management interfaces will always operate as Q ports. This option is valid for the Q-in-Q port so that the user may force blocking of existing 802.1ad Q-in-Q frames. This way, only untagged or single tagged packets will come in and out of the Ethernet interface. If a Q-in-Q frame is about ingress or egress the Ethernet interface and this is disabled, it is dropped and a filter entry will show up on the VLAN Statistics page as DVLAN Egress or DVLAN Ingress. Select the type of arriving frames that the SM must tag, using the VID that is stored in the Untagged Ingress VID parameter. The default value is All Frames. Tagged Frames Only: The SM only tags incoming VLAN-tagged frames Untagged Frames Only: The SM will only tag incoming untagged frames Specify whether the SM must (Enable) or not (Disable) add the VIDs of upstream frames (that enter the SM through the wired Ethernet interface) to the VID table. The default value is Enable. VLAN Aging Timeout Specify how long the SM/BHS must keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). Note VIDs that you enter for the Untagged Ingress VID and Management VID parameters do not time out. Management VID Enter the VID that the SM/BHS must share with the AP/BHM. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. Page 1-52 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces SM Management VID Pass-through Specify whether to allow the SM/BHS (Enabled) or the AP/RADIUS
(Disabled) to control the VLAN settings of this SM. The default value is Enabled. When VLAN is enabled in the AP to whom this SM is registered, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. If disabled, MVID traffic is not allowed to or from the SM wired interface. Also, if Management VID is the same as a Port VID (Default or MAC-based), then this setting is ignored and assumed to be Enabled. This is the VID that is used for untagged frames and will correspond to the Q-
Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is Q-in- Q). These parameters allow operators to place specific devices onto different VLANs (802.1Q tag or 802.1ad C-tag) based on the source MAC address of the packet. If the MAC address entry is 00-00-00-00-00-00 then that entry is not used. If a packet arrives at the SM that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frames Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (Q-in-Q port). If there is no match, then the Default Port VID is used. This table is also used in the downstream direction for removal of the tag based on the destination MAC address so that an untagged (for Q port) or Q-Tagged (for Q-in-Q port) frame is delivered to the end device. You may use wildcards for the non-OUI
(Organizationally Unique Identifier) portion of the MAC address, which is the last 3 bytes. MAC addresses contain 6 bytes, the first 3 of which are the OUI of the vendor that manufactured the device and the last 3 are unique to that vendor OUI. If you want to cover all devices from a known vendors OUI, you have to specify 0xFF for the remaining 3 bytes. So, for example, if you wanted all devices from a specific vendor with an OUI of 00-95-5b
(which is a Netgear OUI) to be on the same VID of 800, you have to specify an entry with MAC address 00-95-5b-ff-ff-ff. Then, any device underneath of the SM with MAC addresses starting with 00-95-5b is put on VLAN 800. The provider VID is used for the S-tag. It is only used if the Port Type is Q-
in-Q and will always be used for the S-tag. If an existing 802.1Q frame arrives, the Provider VID is what is used for adding and removing of the outer S-tag. If an untagged frame arrives to a Q-in-Q port, then the Provider VID is the S-tag and the Default Port VID (or Port VID MAC Address Mapping, if valid) is used for the C-tag. Default Port VID Port VID MAC Address Mapping Provider VID Support 802.1p Frames This parameter allows the operator to enable or disable 802.1p frames. When 802.1p feature is enabled on SM, the packets are added with VID=0 and priority bits are set.

For each VID number in the first column, the entry in this column correlates the way in which the module became and continues to be a member:
PermanentThis indicates that the module was assigned the VID number through direct configuration by the operator. DynamicThis indicates that the module adopted the VID number through enabled dynamic learning, when a tagged packet from a SM behind it in the network or from a customer equipment that is behind the SM in this case, was read. Active Configuration, Current VID Member Set, Age For each VID number in the first column of the table, the entry in this column reflects whether or when the VID number will time out:
Permanent type - Number never times out and this is indicated by the digit 0. Page 1-54 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Dynamic type - Age reflects what is configured in the VLAN Aging Timeout parameter in the Configuration => VLAN tab of the AP or reflects a fewer number of minutes that represents the difference between what was configured and what has elapsed since the VID was learned. Each minute, the Age decreases by one until, at zero, the AP deletes the learned VID, but can it again from packets sent by elements that are beneath it in the network. Note Values in this Active Configuration block can differ from attempted values in configurations:
The AP can override the value that the SM has configured for SM Management VID Pass-Through. IP Lookup Direction This parameter supports following options. Use Source IP: Mapping is done based on the source IP of the incoming packet. Use Destination IP: Mapping is done based on the Destination IP of the incoming packet. IP Address / Subnet Mask This parameter specifies the IP Address and the Subnet Mask which needs to be matched. VID This parameter specifies the VLAN which is tagged to the packet. Priority Mode This parameter specifies the priority precedence to decide if 802.1p or DSCP Priority bits need to be used when making priority decisions. Priority This parameter specifies the 802.1p Priority bits in the VLAN tag. L3 Port VID Map This field displays the Map key, IP address/subnet mask, VID, Priority mode, Priority, and Hash key information of the tagged packets.

Page 1-58 Chapter 1: Configuration PPPoE page of SM Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Applicable products PMP:
SM Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a protocol that encapsulates PPP frames inside Ethernet frames (at Ethernet speeds). Benefits to the network operator may include Access control Service monitoring Generation of statistics about activities of the customer Re-use of infrastructure and operational practices by operators who already use PPP for other networks PPPoE options are configurable for the SM only, and the AP indicates whether or not PPPoE is enabled for a specific subscriber. When PPPoE is enabled, once the RF session comes up between the SM and the AP, the SM will immediately attempt to connect to the PPPoE Server. You can monitor the status of this by viewing the PPPoE Session Log in the Logs section (Administrator only). Every time the RF session comes up, the SM will check the status of the link and if it is down, the SM will attempt to redial the link if necessary depending on the Timer Type. Also, on the Configuration page, the user may Connect or Disconnect the session manually. This can be used to override the session to force a manual disconnect and/or reconnect if there is a problem with the session. In order to enable PPPoE, NAT MUST be enabled on the SM and Translation Bridging MUST be disabled on the AP. These items are strictly enforced for you when you are trying to enable PPPoE. A message will indicate any prerequisites not being met. Also, the NAT Public IP DHCP client cannot be enabled, because the NAT Public IP is received through the IPCP process of the PPPoE discovery stages. The pre-requisites are:
NAT MUST be enabled on the SM o NAT DHCP Client is disabled automatically. The NAT public IP is received from the PPPoE Server. o NAT Public Network Interface Configuration will not be used and must be left to defaults. Also NAT Public IP DHCP is disabled if it is enabled. Translation Bridging MUST be DISABLED on the AP o This will only be determined if the SM is in session since the SM wont know the AP configuration otherwise. If the SM is not in session, PPPoE can be enabled but if the SM goes into session to a Translation Bridge-enabled AP, then PPPoE will not be enabled. The PPPoE configuration parameters are explained in Table 19. Page 1-59 Chapter 1: Configuration Table 19 SM PPPoE attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning Access Concentrator Service Name An optional entry to set a specific access concentrator to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is blank, the SM will accept the first access concentrator which matches the service name (if specified). This is limited to 32 characters. An optional entry to set a specific service name to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is left blank the SM will accept the first service option that comes back from the access concentrator specified above, if any. This is limited to 32 characters. Authentication Type None means that no PPPoE authentication is implemented User Name Password MTU CHAP/PAP means that CHAP authentication is attempted first, then PAP authentication. The same password is used for both types. This is the CHAP/PAP user name that is used if CHAP/PAP authentication is selected. If None is selected for authentication, then this field is unused. This is limited to 32 characters. This is the CHAP/PAP password that is used if PAP authentication is selected. If None is selected for authentication, then this field is unused. This is limited to 32 characters. Use MTU Received from PPPoE Server causes the SM to use the MRU of the PPPoE server received in LCP as the MTU for the PPPoE link. Page 1-60 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Timer Type Use User Defined MTU allows the operator to specify an MTU value to use to override any MTU that may be determined in the LCP phase of PPPoE session setup. If this is selected, the user is able to enter an MTU value up to 1492. However, if the MTU determined in LCP negotiations is less than this user-specified value, the SM will use the smaller value as its MTU for the PPPoE link. Keep Alive is the default timer type. This timer will enable a keepalive that will check the status of the link periodically. The user can set a keepalive period. If no data is seen from the PPPoE server for that period, the link is taken down and a reconnection attempt is started. For marginal links, the keep alive timer can be useful so that the session will stay alive over periodic dropouts. The keepalive timer must be set such that the session can outlast any session drop. Some PPPoE servers will have a session check timer of their own so that the timeouts of the server and the SM are in sync, to ensure one side does not drop the session prematurely. Idle Timeout enables an idle timer that checks the usage of the link from the customer side. If there is no data seen from the customer for the idle timeout period, the PPPoE session is dropped. Once data starts flowing from the customer again, the session is started up again. This timer is useful for users who may not be using the connection frequently. If the session is idle for long periods of time, this timer will allow the resources used by the session to be returned to the server. Once the connection is used again by the customer, the link is reestablished automatically. Timer Period The length in seconds of the PPPoE keepalive timer. TCP MSS Clamping If this is enabled, then the SM will alter TCP SYN and SYN-ACK packets by changing the Maximum Segment Size to be compatible with the current MTU of the PPPoE link. This way, the user does not have to worry about MTU on the client side for TCP packets. The MSS is set to the current MTU 40
(20 bytes for IP headers and 20 bytes for TCP headers). This will cause the application on the client side to not send any TCP packets larger than the MTU. If the network is exhibiting large packet loss, try enabling this option. This may not be an option on the PPPoE server itself. The SM will NOT reassemble IP fragments, so if the MTUs are incorrect on the end stations, then MSS clamping will solve the problem for TCP connections. Page 1-61 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP4 and IPv6 Applicable products PMP: AP SM PTP: BHM BMS IPv4 and IPv6 Prioritization 450 Platform Family provides operators the ability to prioritize IPv6 traffic in addition to IPv4 traffic. IPv6/IPv4 prioritization can be configured by selecting a CodePoint and the corresponding priority from the GUI of the AP/BHM and the IPv6/IPv4 packet is set up accordingly. There is no GUI option for selecting IPv6 or IPv4 priority. Once the priority is set, it is set for IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Priority IPv4 and IPv6 prioritization is set using the DiffServ tab on the AP/BHM and SM/BHS
(located at Configuration > DiffServ). A priority set to a specific CodePoint will apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Table 20 DiffServ attributes AP/BHM Page 1-62 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning Codepoints 1 through 63 The PMP family of APs support four levels of QoS. The mapping of these eight priority values to data channels is determined by the number of data channels configured per SM as shown in the table below:
For example, for an AP that uses the default table shown above has configured 3 QoS levels per SM, would see codepoints 0 through 15 mapped to the Low Priority data channels, codepoint 16 would be mapped to the Medium Priority data channels, and so on. Note that CodePoints 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, and 56 are predefined to the fixed values shown in Table 20 above and are not user configurable. Operator cannot change any of these three fixed priority values. Among the configurable parameters, the priority values (and therefore the handling of packets in the high or low priority channel) are set in the AP/BHM for all downlinks within the sector and in the SM/BHS for each uplink. CodePoint Select This represents the CodePoint Selection to be modified via Priority Select. Priority Select The priority setting input for the CodePoint selected in CodePoint Select. Priority Precedence Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. PPPoE Control Message Priority Operators may configure the AP/BHM to utilize the high priority channel for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the AP/BHM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the AP/BHM. MPLS Traffic Class
(TC) 0 through MPLS Traffic Class (TC) 7 The Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) protocol is used to route traffic based on the priority setting configured each MPLS Traffic Class. MPLS Traffic Class (TC) 0 through MPLS Traffic Class (TC) 7 can be configured with 0 through 7 priority settings. IPv4 and IPv6 Filtering The operator can filter (block) specified IPv6 protocols including IPv4 and ports from leaving the AP/BHM and SM/BHS and entering the network. This protects the network from both intended and inadvertent packet loading or probing by network users. By keeping the specified protocols or ports off the network, this feature also provides a level of protection to users from each other. Page 1-63 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Filtering IPv6 filters are set using the Protocol Filtering tab on the AP/BHM and SM/BHS (at Configuration >
Protocol Filtering). Once a filter is set for a packet type, those packets will not be sent over the RF interface depending on Filter Direction setting. Page 1-64 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 21 Packet Filter Configuration attributes Attribute Meaning Packet Filter Types For any box selected, the Protocol and Port Filtering feature blocks the associated protocol type. To filter packets in any of the user-defined ports, you must do all of the following:
Check the box for User Defined Port n (See Below) in the Packet Filter Types section of this tab. Provide a port number at Port #n. in the User Defined Port Filtering Configuration section of this tab Page 1-65 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Enable TCP and/or UDP by clicking the associated radio button Filter Direction Operators may choose to filter upstream (uplink) RF packets or downstream (downlink) RF packets. User Defined Port Filtering Configuration You can specify ports for which to block subscriber access, regardless of whether NAT is enabled. Page 1-66 Chapter 1: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Upgrading the software version and using CNUT This section consists of the following procedures:
Checking the installed software version on page 1-67 Upgrading to a new software version on page 1-67 Caution If the link is operational, ensure that the remote end of the link is upgraded first using the wireless connection, and then the local end can be upgraded. Otherwise, the remote end may not be accessible. Use CNUT 4.11.2 or later version and always refer to the software release notes before upgrading system software. The release notes are available at:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450 Checking the installed software version To check the installed software version, follow these instructions:
Procedure 10 Checking the installed software version 1 2 3 4 Click on General tab under Home menu. Note the installed Software Version (under Device Information):
PMP/PTP 450/450i/450m Go to the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1) and find Point-to-
Multipoint software updates. Check that the latest 450 Platform Family software version is the same as the installed Software Version. To upgrade software to the latest version, see Upgrading to a new software version on page 1-67. Upgrading to a new software version All 450 platform modules are upgraded using the Canopy Network Updater Tool. The Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) manages and automates the software upgrade process for a Canopy radio, 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/BHM while using the Auto update feature) to upgrade the modules. Page 1-67 Chapter 1: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Note Please ensure that you have the most up-to-date version of CNUT by browsing to the Customer Support Web Page located:
https://www.cambiumnetworks.com/products/software-tools/cambium-network-
updater-tool/
This section includes an example of updating a single unit before deployment. System-wide upgrading procedures may be found in the CNUT Online Help manual, which can be found on the Cambium support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1). CNUT functions The Canopy Network Updater tool has the following functions:
Automatically discovers all network elements Executes a UDP command that initiates and terminates the Auto-update mode within APs/BHMs. This command is both secure and convenient:
o For security, the AP/BHM accepts this command from only the IP address that you specify in the Configuration page of the AP/BHM. o For convenience, Network Updater automatically sets this Configuration parameter in the APs/BHMs to the IP address of the Network Updater server when the server performs any of the update commands. CNUT supports HTTP and HTTPS Allows you to choose the following among updating:
o Your entire network. o Only elements that you select. o Only network branches that you select. Provides a Script Engine that you can use with any script that:
o You define. o Cambium supplies. Configurability of any of the following to be the file server for image files:
o The AP/BHM, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via UDP messaging o CNUT HTTP/HTTPS Server, for upgrading via SNMP commands and monitoring via SNMP messaging. This also supports an option to either set the image order specifically for this file server or to allow the AP to determine the order. o Local TFTP Server, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via UDP messaging. This supports setting the number of simultaneous image transfers per AP/BHM The capability to launch a test of connectivity and operational status of the local HTTP, HTTPS and TFTP file servers An interface that supports efficient specification of the proper IP address for the local file server(s) where Network Updater resides on a multi-homed computer Page 1-68 Chapter 1: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT An md5 checksum calculator utility for identifying corruption of downloaded image files before Network Updater is set to apply them. Network element groups With the Canopy Network Updater Tool, you can identify element groups composed of network elements that you select. Identifying these element groups does the following:
Organizes the display of elements (for example, by region or by AP/BHM cluster). Allows to:
o Perform an operation on all elements in the group simultaneously. o Set group-level defaults for ftp password access and SNMP Community String
(defaults that can be overridden in an individual element when necessary). Network layers A typical network contains multiple layers of elements, with each layer farther from the Point of Presence. For example, SMs (or BHS) are behind an AP/BHM and thus, in this context, at a lower layer than the AP/BHM. Correctly portraying these layers in Network Updater is essential so that Network Updater can perform radio and AP/BHM cluster upgrades in an appropriate order. Script engine Script Engine is the capability in Network Updater that executes any user-defined script against any network element or element group. This capability is useful for network management, especially for scripts that you repetitively execute across your network. The Autodiscovery capability in Network Updater finds all of your network elements. This comprehensive discovery:
Ensures that, when you intend to execute a script against all elements, the script is indeed executed against all elements. Maintains master lists of elements (element groups) against which you selectively execute scripts. The following scripts are included with CNUT:

Multipoint software updates. Download and save the required software image. Start CNUT If you dont start up with a blank new network file in CNUT, then open a new network file with the New Network Archive operation (located at File > New Network). Enter a new network element to the empty network tree using the Add Elements to Network Root operation (located at Edit > Add Elements to Network Root). In the Add Elements dialogue, select a type of Access Point or Subscriber Module and enter the IP address of 169.254.1.1. Make sure that the proper Installation Package is active with the Package Manager dialogue
(located at Update > Manage Packages). To verify connectivity with the radio, perform a Refresh, Discover Entire Network operation
(located at View > Refresh/Discover Entire Network). You must see the details columns for the new element filled in with ESN and software version information. Initiate the upgrade of the radio using Update Entire Network Root operation (located at Update > Update Entire Network Root). When this operation finishes, the radio is done being upgraded. Page 1-70 Chapter 1: Configuration General configuration General configuration The Configuration > General page of the AP/BMH or BHM/BHS contains many of the configurable parameters that define how the ratios operate in sector or backhaul. Applicable products PMP: AP SM PTP: BHM BMS PMP 450m and PMP/PTP 450i Series General page - PMP 450i AP The General page of AP is explained in Table 22. Table 22 General page attributes PMP 450i AP Page 1-71 Chapter 1: Configuration General configuration Attribute Meaning Ethernet Port Selection Link Speeds Ethernet Port selection is applicable to the 450m platform only with two choices in the drop-down list:
Main: A selection of main indicates that link connectivity and power to the 450m is provided through the RF45 connection on the Main port of the AP SFP: A selection of SFP indicates that link connectivity will be provided through the SFP port on the 450m Power continues to be provided via the RJ45 Main port From the drop-down list of options, select the type of link speed for the Ethernet connection. The Auto settings allow the two ends of the link to automatically negotiate with each other the best possible speed, and check whether the Ethernet traffic is full duplex or half duplex. However, some Ethernet links work best when either:
both ends are set to the same forced selection both ends are set to auto-negotiate and both have capability in least one common speed and traffic type combination. Ethernet Link This parameter allows the operator to enable or disable Ethernet Link. Ethernet Bounce Timeout This parameter allows the operator to configure Ethernet bouce timeout ranging from 0 to 60 minutes. Value 0 disables Ethernet bounce timeout. 802.3at Type 2 PoE Status and When the PoE Classification functionality is enabled and if Type 2 power is not present, the PAs do not power up and draw too much power.

From the drop-down list, select the country in which the radio is operating. Unlike selections in other parameters, your Country selection requires a Save Changes and a Reboot cycle before it will force the context-sensitive GUI to display related options (for example, Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 and 2 in the Configuration > Radio tab). PMP 450i Series ODUs shipped to the United States is locked to a Region Code setting of United States. Units shipped to regions other than the United States must be configured with the corresponding Region Code to comply with local regulatory requirements. Country Code settings affect the radios in the following ways:
Maximum transmit power limiting (based on radio transmitter power plus configured antenna gain) DFS operation is enabled based on the configured region code, if applicable For more information on how transmit power limiting and DFS is implemented for each country, see the PMP 450 Planning Guide. Webpage Auto Update Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the web-based interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to never be automatically refreshed. Bridge Entry Timeout Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing network infrastructure. The Bridge Entry Timeout must be a longer period than the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network. Caution An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss of communication with some end users. Page 1-73 Chapter 1: Configuration General configuration Translation Bridging Optionally, you can configure the AP to change the source MAC address in every packet it receives from its SMs to the MAC address of the SM that bridged the packet, before forwarding the packet toward the public network. If you do, then:
Not more than 128 IP devices at any time are valid to send data to the AP from behind the SM. SM populates the Translation Table tab of its Statistics web page, displaying the MAC address and IP address of all the valid connected devices. Each entry in the Translation Table is associated with the number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM. If 128 are connected and another attempts to connect:
If no Translation Table entry is older than 255 minutes, the attempt is ignored. If an entry is older than 255 minutes, the oldest entry is removed and the attempt is successful. The Send Untranslated ARP parameter in the General tab of the Configuration page can be:
Disabled, so that the AP overwrites the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them. Enabled, so that the AP forwards ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. When this feature is disabled, the setting of the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect, because all packets are forwarded untranslated
(with the source MAC address intact). Send Untranslated ARP If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Enabled, then the Send Untranslated ARP parameter can be:
SM Isolation Disabled - so that the AP will overwrite the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them. Enabled - so that the AP will forward ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Disabled, then the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect. Prevent or allow SM-to-SM communication by selecting from the following drop-down menu items:
Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs. Block SM Packets from being forwarded - This prevents both multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication. Page 1-74 Chapter 1: Configuration General configuration Forward Unknown Unicast Packets Block and Forward SM Packets to Backbone - This not only prevents multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends the packets, which otherwise are handled SM to SM, through the Ethernet port of the AP. Enabled: All unknown Unicast packets (no entry in the APs bridge table) received via the APs Ethernet LAN interface are forwarded to registered SMs. If the target device is situated beneath a particular SM, when the device responds the SM and AP will learn and add the device to their bridge tables so that subsequent packets to that device is bridged to the proper SM. Disabled: All unknown Unicast packets (no entry in the APs bridge table) received via the APs Ethernet LAN interface are discarded at the AP. Update Application Address Enter the address of the server to access for software updates on this AP and registered SMs. Prioritize TCP ACK Multicast Destination Address DHCP Relay Agent To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements. This parameter, when enabled, can be particularly useful when running bi-direction FTP sessions over the link. If a link is primarily used for video surveillance, it is recommended to set this parameter to Disable. Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a module exchanges multicast addresses with the device to which it is wired on the Ethernet interface. Although some switches (CMM4, for example) do not pass LLDP addresses upward in the network, a radio can pass it as the value of the Multicast Destination Address parameter value in the connected device that has it populated. The AP may act as a DHCP relay for SMs and CPEs underneath it. The AP will make use of the DHCP Option 82 (DHCP Relay Agent Information) from RFC 3046 when performing relay functions. The AP offers two types of DHCP relay functionality:
Full Relay Information - Configuring the DHCP Full Relay Operation will take broadcast DHCP packets and send them to a Unicast server in unicast mode. This way the DHCP requests and replies can be routed like any other UDP packet. Only Insert Option 82 - This option leaves the DHCP request on its broadcast domain as opposed to DHCP Full Relay Operation which will turn it into a unicast packet. In order to accommodate setting up pools or classes for different VLANs, the Option 82 field will include information to tell the server what VLAN the client is on. Page 1-75 Chapter 1: Configuration General configuration DHCP Server (Name or IP Address) Option 82 Circuit ID Option 82 Remote ID The DHCP relay server may be either a DNS name or a static IP address in dotted decimal notation. Additionally, the management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the DHCP relay server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name.

Specify whether to enable or disable Ethernet/802.3 connectivity on the wired port of the SM. This parameter has no effect on the wireless link. When you select Enable, this feature allows traffic on the Ethernet/802.3 port. This is the factory default state of the port. When you select Disable, this feature prevents traffic on the port. Typical cases of when you may want to select Disable include:
The subscriber is delinquent with payment(s). You suspect that the subscriber is sending or flooding undesired broadcast packets into the network, such as when a virus is present in the subscribers computing device. the subscribers home router is improperly configured. Region This parameter allows you to set the region in which the radio will operate. The SM radio automatically inherits the Region type of the master. This behavior ignores the value of the Region parameter in the SM, even when the value is None. Nevertheless, since future system software releases may read the value in order to configure some other region-sensitive feature(s), this parameter must be always set to the value that corresponds to the local region. This parameter allows you to set the country in which the radio will operate. The SM radio automatically inherits the Country Code type of the master. This behavior ignores the value of the Country parameter in the SM, even when the value is None.

Bridge Entry Timeout Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing network infrastructure. Timeout occurs when the AP encounters no activity with the SM (whose MAC address is the bridge entry) within the interval that this parameter specifies. The Bridge Entry Timeout must be a longer period than the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network. Page 1-80 Chapter 1: Configuration General configuration Caution This parameter governs the timeout interval, even if a router in the system has a longer timeout interval. The default value of this field is 25 (minutes). An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss of communication with some end users. Bridge Table Size This parameter allows to restrict devices to connect to the SM. It is configurable from 4 to 4096. Note Configure Bridge Table Restriction parameter to Drop packets if MAC address is not in bridge table option to restrict the number of devices configured from connecting to SM. Bridge Table Restriction This parameter allows to either allow or restrict devices to connect to SM using the following options:
Drop packets if MAC address is not in bridge table: Select this option to restrict communication from devices not listed in bridge table. Forward packets even if MAC address is not in bridge table: Select this option to allow communication from any device. Frame Timing Pulse Gated If this SM extends the sync pulse to a BH master or an AP, select either EnableIf this SM loses sync from the AP, then do not propagate a sync pulse to the BH timing master or another AP. This setting prevents interference in the event that the SM loses sync.

Multipoint to run radio in PMP SM mode. Allows the user to choose the mode between Timing Master and Timing Slave. Select the desired operating frequency band. Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-
down list on the radio GUI. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the AP and the SM. The supported Channel Bandwidths are 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 30 MHz, and 40 MHz. Select the Frame Period of the radio. The supported Frame Periods are:
5 ms and 2.5 ms. OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Sector ID at a configurable value from 0 to 15. SM and BH have a configurable option used to prevent packet loss in the uplink due to bursting IP traffic. This is designed for IP burst traffic particular to video surveillance applications. MIMO Rate Adapt Algorithm This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Rate Adapt Algorithm to MIMO-
A/B, MIMO-B only, or MIMO-A only. Downlink Maximum Modulation Rate This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Downlink Maximum Modulation Rate at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, or 8X. The default value is 8X. The Rate Adapt Algorithm does not allow the modulation to go beyond this limit. Page 1-93 Chapter 1: Configuration General configuration Attribute Meaning Uplink Maximum Modulation Rate Minimum Modulation Rate Downlink Data This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Uplink Maximum Modulation Rate at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, or 8X. The default value is 8X. The Rate Adapt Algorithm does not allow the modulation to go beyond this limit. This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Minimum Modulation Rate at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, or 8X. The default value is 1X. If the Rate Adapt Algorithm is below this limit, then bridging is disabled. This is used if PTP network can route the traffic through another path. Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted from the AP to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate
(uplink and downlink total) throughput on the AP is 90 Mb, then 75%
specified for this parameter allocates 67.5 Mb for the downlink and 22.5 Mb for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 75%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Transmit Power This value represents the combined power of the BHMs two transmitters. Nations and regions may regulate transmit power. For example PTP 450i Series modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to:
Maintain awareness of applicable regulations. Calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. Confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. Confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. External Gain Fixed Receive Quality Debug This value needs to correspond to the published gain of the antenna used to ensure the radio will meet regulatory requirements. To aid in link performance monitoring, the BHM and BHS now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this slightly degrades the packet during per second processing. See Table 48 PMP 450i AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 1-156.

To have each log in the AP/BHM correlated to a meaningful time and date, either a reliable network element must pass time and date to the AP/BHM or must set the time and date whenever a power cycle of the AP/BHM has occurred. A network element passes time and date in any of the following scenarios:
A connected CMM4 passes time and date (GPS time and date, if received). A connected CMM4 passes the time and date (GPS time and date, if received), but only if both the CMMr is operating on CMMr Release 2.1 or later release. (These releases include NTP server functionality.) Page 1-103 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up time and date A separate NTP server (including APs/BHMs receiving NTP data) is addressable from the AP/BHM. If the AP/BHM needs to obtain time and date from a CMM4, or a separate NTP server, enter the IP address or DNS name of the CMM4 or NTP server on this tab. To force the AP/BHM to obtain time and date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP server, click Get Time via NTP. The polling of the NTP servers is done in a sequential fashion, and the polling status of each server is displayed in the NTP Update Log section of the Time Configuration page. An entry of 0.0.0.0 in any of the NTP Server fields indicates an unused server configuration. NTP Server(s) in Use Lists the IP addresses of servers used for NTP retrieval. Time Zone The Time Zone option may be used to offset the received NTP time to match the operators local time zone. When set on the AP/BHM, the offset is set for the entire sector SMs (or BHS) are notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time Zone change is applied, the SMs (or BHS) is notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some SMs//BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log of the AP/BHM and SM/BHS. System Time The current time used by the system.

Page 1-104 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring synchronization Configuring synchronization Applicable products PMP: AP PTP: BHM Sync Input This section describes synchronization options for PMP and PTP configuration. Figure 19 Sync Setting configuration The Sync Input parameter can be configured under Sync Setting tab of Configure > General page (see General configuration on page 1-71). PMP/PTP 450i Series has following synchronization input options:
AutoSync AutoSync + Free Run Generate Sync AutoSync For 450i AP/BHM and 450m AP, the AP/BHM automatically receives sync from one of the following sources:
GPS Sync over Timing Port (UGPS, cnPulse, co-located AP GPS sync output, or Remote Device feed from a registered SMs GPS sync output) GPS Sync over Power Port (CMM4), CMM5, cnPulse module ODU Sync Port. For 450 AP, the internal GPS is available in addition to the above sync sources. For a 450 BHM the only available sync source is the Timing Port, as GPS Sync Over Power Port is not supported. For a 450b BHM only GPS Sync Over Power Port is available. Upon AP/BHM power on with the Free Run Before GPS Sync parameter set to disabled, the AP/BHM does not transmit until a valid synchronization pulse is received from one of the sources above. If there is a loss of GPS synchronization pulse after sync is initially established, within two seconds the AP/BHM automatically attempts to source GPS signaling from another source. Page 1-105 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring synchronization In case of PMP, when there are synchronization sources on both the timing port and the power port, the power port GPS source is chosen first. If no valid GPS signal is received, the AP/BHM ceases transmission and SM/BHS registration is lost until a valid GPS signal is received again on the AP or BHM. Note After a reboot of 450m AP, the sync acquisition takes a little longer than it had on 450i
(anywhere from 40 seconds to 120 seconds difference). When the Sync Input field is set to Autosync or Autosync + Free Run, other options become available to be set e.g. UGPS Power and other fields. This is true on APs and BHMs. AutoSync + Free Run This mode operates similarly to mode AutoSync, but if a previously received synchronization signal is lost and no GPS signaling alternative is achieved, the AP/BHM automatically changes to synchronization mode Generate Sync. While BHS/SM registration is maintained, in this mode there is no synchronization of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; the AP/BHM will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Once a valid GPS signal is obtained again, the AP/BHM automatically switches to receiving synchronization via the GPS source and SM/BHS registration is maintained. Note In mode AutoSync + Free Run with the Free Run Before GPS Sync parameter set to disabled, if a GPS signal is never achieved initially, the system will not switch to Free Run mode, and SMs/BHS will not register to the AP/BHM. A valid GPS signal must be present initially for the AP to switch into Free Run mode (and to begin self-generating a synchronization pulse). Also, when an AP/BHM is operating in Free Run mode, over a short time it will no longer be synchronized with co-located or nearby APs/BHMs (within radio range). Due to this lack of transmit and receive synchronization across APs/BHMs or across systems, performance while in Free Run mode may be degraded until the APs/BHMs operating in Free Run mode regain a external GPS synchronization source. Careful attention is required to ensure that all systems are properly receiving an external GPS synchronization pulse, and please consider Free Run mode as an emergency option. Generate Sync (Factory default) This option may be used when the AP/BHM is not receiving GPS synchronization pulses from either a CMM4/CMM5 or UGPS/cnPulse module, and there are no other APs/BHMs active within the link range. Using this option will not synchronize transmission of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; it will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Note Page 1-106 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring synchronization When an AP/BHM has its "Regional Code" set to "None", The radio will not provide valid Sync Pulse Information. There is a RED warning that the radio will not transmit, but the user might expect to see a valid sync if the radio is connected to a working CMM4 or UGPS. Free Run Before GPS Sync This option is available when the Sync Input parameter is configured for either AutoSync mode or AutoSync + Free Run mode. When Free Run Before GPS Sync is set to Enabled, if the radio does not detect a valid GPS synchronization pulse after booting up then it will operate in Generate Sync Free Run mode until a valid source is detected. While the AP/BHM is in Generate Sync Free Run mode SMs/BHS will be able to register, but there is no synchronization of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; the AP/BHM will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Once a valid synchronization source is found, the AP/BHM automatically switches to receiving synchronization from the source and SM/BHS registration is maintained. If Free Run Before GPS Sync is set to Disabled, the AP/BHM does not transmit and SMs/BHS will be unable to register until a valid GPS synchronization source is connected. Device Type This parameter determines whether the device is configured as a Remote AP, receiving GPS sync from a co-located AP GPS sync output or Remote Device feed from a registered SMs GPS sync output, or as a Standard AP. This parameter applies in AutoSync or AutoSync + Free Run modes only. Synchronization behavior is as follows:
Standard: The AutoSync mechanism will source GPS synchronization from the APs Aux/Timing port, the APs power port, or from the device on-board GPS module (if present). Remote: The AutoSync mechanism will source GPS synchronization from the APs Aux/Timing port or from the device on-board GPS module (if present). GPS synchronization pulses on the Power Port are ignored. Verify GPS Message Checksum The Verify GPS Message Checksum parameter enables or disables validation of incoming GPS location messages from a UGPS or cnPulse module connected to the APs Aux Port. When enabled the AP will discard messages found to have an incorrect checksum and will increment the Invalid Message Count display of the Sync Status tab of the Home GUI page accordingly. Sync Aux Port Config The Sync Output to Aux Port parameter takes effect when the AP is operating in either AutoSync or AutoSync + Free Run modes. When enabled, the AP will output the GPS timing pulse on the Aux/Timing Port. In this configuration the AP may serve as a GPS synchronization source for a co-located AP. Page 1-107 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring synchronization Aux Port Power to UGPS The 450 series APs are capable of supplying power to a connected UGPS or cnPulse module via the Aux/Timing Port. Enable the Aux Port Power to UGPS parameter to output power on the port. Note The AP is able to receive GPS sync pulses and satellite data via the Aux Port regardless of whether this parameter is Enabled or Disabled. However, on the 450m AP and 450i AP/BHM, the satellite data is displayed on the Sync Status page only when the Aux Port power is enabled. Caution When a UGPS module is used to provide GPS sync to two 450m or 450i APs simultaneously, it is recommended to install a separate power supply for the UGPS to prevent the possibility of sync interruption upon reboot of the APs.

Page 1-113 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Requiring SM Authentication Applicable products PMP: AP SM Through the use of a shared AP key, or an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server, it enhances network security by requiring SMs to authenticate when they register. For descriptions of each of the configurable security parameters on the AP, see Configuring Security on page 1-125. For descriptions of each of the configurable security parameters on the SM, see Security page 450 Platform Family BHM on page 1-130. Operators may use the APs Authentication Mode field to select from among the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate (factory default setting). Authentication Server the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its SMs and will make use of a user-
configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none of the SMs is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. For more information on configuring the PMP 450 Platform network to utilize a RADIUS server, see Configuring a RADIUS server on page 1-275. Page 1-114 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Filtering protocols and ports Applicable products PMP: AP SM PTP: BHM BMS The filtering protocols and ports allows to configure filters for specified protocols and ports from leaving the AP/SM/BHM/BHS and entering the network. See Filtering protocols ans ports in Planning and Installation Guide. Protocol filtering page of 450 Platform Family AP/BHM The Protocol Filtering page of 450 Platform Family - AP/BHM is explained in Table 37. Table 37 AP/BHM Protocol Filtering attributes Page 1-115 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Attribute Meaning Packet Filter Types For any box selected, the Protocol and Port Filtering feature blocks the associated protocol type. To filter packets in any of the user-defined ports, must do all of the following:
Check the box for User Defined Port n (See Below) in the Packet Filter Types section of this tab. In the User Defined Port Filtering Configuration section of this tab:
provide a port number at Port #n. enable TCP and/or UDP by clicking the associated radio button Filter Direction Operators may choose to filter upstream (uplink) RF packets or downstream
(downlink) RF packets. User Defined Port Filtering Configuration RF Telnet Access You can specify ports for which to block subscriber access, regardless of whether NAT is enabled. RF Telnet Access restricts Telnet access to the AP/BHM from a device situated below a network SM/BHS (downstream from the AP/BHM). This is a security enhancement to restrict RF-interface sourced AP access specifically to the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address (Radio Private Address, typically 192.168.101.[LUID]). This restriction disallows unauthorized users from running Telnet commands on the AP/BHM that can change AP/BHM configuration or modifying network-critical components such as routing and ARP tables. PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding Enabled: the AP/BHM allows downstream and upstream transmission of PPPoE PADI packets. By default, PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding is set to Enabled. Disabled: the AP/BHM disallows PPPoE PADI packets from entering the Ethernet interface and exiting the RF interface (downstream to the SM/BHS). PPPoE PADI packets are still allowed to enter the APs RF interface and exit the APs /BHMs Ethernet interface (upstream).

Allowing management only from specified IP addresses See Allowing management only from specified IP address in Installation and Planning Guide. Restricting radio Telnet access over the RF interface RF Telnet Access restricts Telnet access to the AP from a device situated below a network SM
(downstream from the AP). This is a security enhancement to restrict RF-interface sourced AP access specifically to the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address (Radio Private Address, typically 192.168.101.
[LUID]). This restriction disallows unauthorized users from running Telnet commands on the AP that can change AP configuration or modifying network-critical components such as routing and ARP tables. The RF Telnet Access may be configured via the AP GUI or via SNMP commands, and RF Telnet Access is set to Enabled by default. Once RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled, if there is a Telnet session attempt to the AP originating from a device situated below the SM (or any downstream device), the attempt is dropped. This also includes Telnet session attempts originated from the SMs management interface (if a user has initiated a Telnet session to a SM and attempts to Telnet from the SM to the AP). In addition, if there are any active Telnet connections to the AP originating from a device situated below the SM (or any downstream device), the connection is dropped. This behavior must be considered if system administrators use Telnet downstream from an AP (from a registered SM) to modify system parameters. Setting RF Telnet Access to Disabled does not affect devices situated above the AP from accessing the AP via Telnet, including servers running the CNUT (Canopy Network Updater tool) application. Also, setting RF Telnet Access to Disabled does not affect any Telnet access into upstream devices
(situated above or adjacent to the AP) through the AP (see Page 1-119 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Figure 22). The figure below depicts a user attempting two telnet sessions. One is targeted for the AP (orange) and one is targeted for the network upstream from the AP (green). If RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled
(factory default setting), the Telnet attempt from the user to the AP is blocked, but the attempt from the user to Network is allowed to pass through the Cambium network. Page 1-120 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Figure 22 RF Telnet Access Restrictions (orange) and Flow through (green) Key Security Considerations when using the RF Telnet Access Feature To ensure that the network is fully protected from unauthorized AP Telnet sessions, the following topics must be considered:
1. Securing AP Clusters When working with a cluster of AP units, to eliminate potential security holes allowing Telnet access, ensure that the RF Telnet Access parameter is set to Disabled for every AP in the cluster. In addition, since users situated below the AP are able to pass Telnet sessions up through the SM and AP to the upstream network (while AP RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled), ensure that all CMM4 or other networking equipment is secured with strong passwords. Otherwise, users may Telnet to the CMM4 or other networking equipment, and subsequently access network APs (see Figure 23) via their Ethernet interfaces (since RF Telnet Access only prevents Telnet sessions originating from the APs wireless interface). Figure 23 RF Telnet Access Restriction (orange) and Potential Security Hole (green) As a common practice, AP administrator usernames and passwords must be secured with strong, non-
default passwords. Page 1-121 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security 2. Restricting AP RF Telnet Access AP Telnet access via the RF interface may be configured in two ways the AP GUI and SNMP. 3. Controlling RF Telnet Access via the AP GUI To restrict all Telnet access to the AP via the RF interface from downstream devices, follow these instructions using the AP GUI:
Procedure 12 Restricting RF Telnet access 1 2 3 4 5 Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials On the AP GUI, navigate to Configuration > Protocol Filtering Under GUI heading Telnet Access over RF Interface, set RF Telnet Access to Disabled Click the Save button Once the Save button is clicked, all RF Telnet Access to the AP from devices situated below the AP is blocked. Note The factory default setting for RF Telnet Access is disabled and PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding is enabled. Page 1-122 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Configuring SNMP Access The SNMPv3 interface provides a more secure method to perform SNMP operations. This standard provides services for authentication, data integrity and message encryption over SNMP. Refer to Planning of SNMPv3 operation in Planning and Installation Guide. Note The factory default setting for SNMP is SNMPv2c Only. Procedure 13 Configuring SNMPv3 1 Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials 2 On the AP/SM GUI, navigate to Configuration > Security Page 3 Under GUI heading Security Mode, set SNMP to SNMPv3 Only 4 Click the Save Changes button 5 Go to Configuration > SNMP Page Page 1-123 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security 6 Under GUI heading SNMPv3 setting, set Engine ID, SNMPv3 Security Level, SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol, SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol, SNMPv3 Read-Only User, SNMPv3 Read/Write User, SNMPv3 Trap Configuration parameters:
Engine ID:
Each radio (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) has a distinct SNMP authoritative engine identified by a unique Engine ID. While the Engine ID is configurable to the operator it is expected that the operator follows the guidelines of the SNMPEngineID defined in the SNMP-
FRAMEWORK-MIB (RFC 3411). The default Engine ID is the MAC address of the device. SNMPv3 security level, Authentication and Privacy Protocol The authentication allows authentication of SNMPv3 user and privacy allows for encryption of SNMPv3 message. 450 Platform Family supports MD5 authentication and CBC-DES privacy protocols. SNMPv3 Read-Only and Read/Write User The user can be defined by configurable attributes. The attributes and default values are:
Read-only user o Username = Canopyro o Authentication Password = authCanopyro o Privacy Password = privacyCanopyro Read-write user (by default read-write user is disabled) o Username = Canopy o Authentication Password = authCanopy o Privacy Password = privacyCanopy SNMPv3 Trap Configuration The traps may be sent from radios in SNMPv3 format based on parameter settings. It can be configured for Disabled, Enabled for Read-Only User, Enable for Read/Write User.

Table 40 Security attributes 450 Platform Family AP Page 1-125 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Page 1-126 Chapter 1: Configuration Attribute Meaning Configuring security Authentication Mode Operators may use this field to select from among the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate. (Factory default). Authentication Server the AP/BHM requires any SM/BHS that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration. AP PreShared Key - The AP/BHM acts as the authentication server to its SMs/BHS and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP/BHM and all SMs/BHS desired to register to that AP/BHM. There is also an option of leaving the AP/BHM and SMs/BHS at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs/BHS and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP/BHM. Otherwise, if you configure the AP/BHM first, none of the SMs/BHS is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. Authentication Server DNS Usage The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the authentication server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. Authentication Server 1 to 5 Enter the IP address or server name of the authentication server (RADIUS or WM) and the Shared Secret configured in the authentication server. When Authentication Mode RADIUS AAA is selected, the default value of Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret may consist of up to 32 ASCII characters. Radius Port This field allows the operator to configure a custom port for RADIUS server communication. The default value is 1812. Authentication Key 128-bit This authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP PreShared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Select Key 128-bit This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication Page 1-127 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Disable AES 128-bit Authentication Key 256-bit This option allows to disable the AES-128 encryption. When AES-128 Encryption is disabled, it prevents the use of AES-128 when encryption is enabled. Since changes to other attributes (e.g. PreSharedKey authentication settings) could cause a need for 128-bit Auth and AES-128 upon next registration, Disable AES 128-bit parameter is prevented from being changed on the "Security" webpage while the "Reboot Required"
warning is present at the top of the Web GUI pages. The recommendation is to complete other changes first and to ensure that all links at an AP are running AES-256 before disabling the use of AES-128 on all units (AP and SMs) in the sector. When saving and loading a configuration file, Disable AES 128 is saved and loaded as a normal attribute. It will not take effect until a reboot is triggered. Since enabling this attribute could have the effect of preventing a link coming up, care should be taken on networks that enable this attribute on only some units. Select one of the following options to either disable or use AES-128 encryption. AES-128 Encryption Disabled:
AES-128 Encryption Available This authentication key is a 64-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP PreShared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF. Note The AES-256 parameters are visible only when the feature key is purchased. Select Key 256-bit This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Dynamic Authorization Extensions for RADIUS Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication Note The AES-256 parameters are visible only when the feature key is purchased. Enable CoA and Disconnect Message: Allows to control configuration parameters of SM using RADIUS CoA and Disconnect Message feature. Disable CoA and Disconnect Message: Disables RADIUS CoA and Disconnect Message feature. To enable CoA and Disconnect feature, the Authentication Mode should be set to RADIUS AAA. Page 1-128 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Bypass Authentication for ICC SMs Enabled: SM authentication is disabled when SM connects via ICC
(Installation Color Code). Disabled: SM authentication is enabled. Encryption Setting Specify the type of airlink security to apply to this AP. The encryption setting must match the encryption setting of the SMs. None provides no encryption on the air link. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. Note This parameter is applicable to BHM. SM Display of AP Evaluation Data Or BHS Display of BHM Evaluation Data Allows operators to suppress the display of data about this AP/BHM on the AP/BHM Evaluation tab of the Tools page in all SMs/BHS that register.

For alpha characters in this 32-character hex key, use only upper case. Refer Table 40 Security attributes 450 Platform Family AP on 1-125 for parameter details. The SM may enforce authentication types of AAA and AP Pre-sharedKey. The SM will not finish the registration process if the AP is not using the configured authentication method (and the SM locks out the AP for 15 minutes). The protocols supported for the Phase 1 (Outside Identity) phase of authentication are EAPTTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Tunneled Transport Layer Security) or MSCHAPv2 (Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2). Page 1-136 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring security Phase 2 Identity/Realm Username Password Select the desired Phase 2 (Inside Identity) authentication protocol from the Phase 2 options of PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), and MSCHAP (Microsofts version of CHAP, version 2 is used). The protocol must be consistent with the authentication protocol configured on the RADIUS server. If Realms are being used, select Enable Realm and configure an outer identity in the Identity field and a Realm in the Realm field. These must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity and Realm configured in the RADIUS server. The default Identity is anonymous. The Identity can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. The default Realm is canopy.net. The Realm can also be up to 128 non-special alphanumeric characters. Configure an outer Identity in the Username field. This must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity username configured in the RADIUS server. The default Phase 1/Outer Identity Username is anonymous. The Username can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. Enter a Username for the SM. This must match the username configured for the SM on the RADIUS server. The default Username is the SMs MAC address. The Username can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. Enter the desired password for the SM in the Password and Confirm Password fields. The Password must match the password configured for the SM on the RADIUS server. The default Password is password. The Password can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters Upload Certificate File To upload a certificate manually to a SM, first load it in a known place on your PC or network drive, then click on a Delete button on one of the Certificate description blocks to delete a certificate to provide space for your certificate. Click on Choose File, browse to the location of the certificate, and click the Import Certificate button, and then reboot the radio to use the new certificate. When a certificate is in use, after the SM successfully registers to an AP, an indication of In Use will appear in the description block of the certificate being used. The public certificates installed on the SMs are used with the private certificate on the RADIUS server to provide a public/private key encryption system. Up to 2 certificates can be resident on a SM. An installed certificate can be deleted by clicking the Delete button in the certificates description block on the Configuration > Security tab. To restore the 2 default certificates, click the Use Default Certificates button in the RADIUS Certificate Settings parameter block and reboot the radio.

Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet, or FTP access to the SM. If you want to prevent any device that is connected to the Ethernet port of the SM from accessing the management interface of the SM, select Ethernet Access Disabled. This selection disables access through this port to via HTTP (the GUI), SNMP, telnet, FTP, and TFTP. With this selection, management access is available through only the RF interface via either an IP address (if Network Accessibility is set to Public on the SM) or the Session Status or Remote Subscribers tab of the AP. Note This setting does not prevent a device connected to the Ethernet port from accessing the management interface of other SMs in the network. To prevent this, use the IP Access Filtering Enabled selection in the IP Access Control parameter of the SMs in the network. See IP Access Control below. If you want to allow management access through the Ethernet port, select Ethernet Access Enabled. This is the factory default setting for this parameter. You can permit access to the SM from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the SM from any IP address. You may populate as many as all three. If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted. A subnet mask may be defined for each entry to allow for filtering control based on a range of IP addresses. Web Access The Radio supports secured and non-secured web access protocols.

This protocol restricts unauthorized clients from connecting to a LAN through publicly accessible ports. The authentication server authenticates each client connected to SM's ethernet port and enables the port before making available any services offered by the SM, AP, and the network. Until the client is authenticated, 802.1x access control allows only Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPoL) traffic through the port to which the client is connected. After authentication is successful, normal traffic can pass through the port. Two types of authentication mode are supported:
Port based authentication: This mode needs to be used when single host is connected to the SM. If the authentication is successful by the host connected to the SM, SM port is enabled, and all traffic will pass through. MAC Address Based Authentication: This mode needs to be used when multiple hosts are connected to the SM. Each host needs to be authenticated by 802.1X protocol to access the network. The traffic is filtered based on the source MAC Address of the host, only the traffic from authenticated host will be allowed to access the network. 802.1X authentication page of AP The 802.1X Authentication page of AP is explained in Table 44. Table 44 802.1X authentication attributes 450 Platform Family AP Attribute Meaning 802.1X Authentication This parameter is used to enable or disable 802.1Xauthentication. It is disabled by default. 802.1X Authentication Server DNS Usage This parameter is enabled when server address is in fully qualified domain name format. Shared Secret This parameter specifies the the shared secret which is configured for this client on RADIUS server. Maximum length of this parameter is 32 characters. 802.1X Authentication Server This parameter specifies either a dotted decimal notation (IP address) or fully qualified domain name (www.google.com). Maximum length of this parameter is 256 characters. Page 1-143 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring 802.1X authentication 802.1x authentication page of SM The 802.1X Authentication page of SM is explained in Table 45. Table 45 802.1X authentication attributes 450 Platform Family SM Attribute Meaning 802.1x Bridging Mode This parameter specifies the bridging mode used by SM. It is disabled by default. Following are the available options for this parameter. Disable 802.1x: Disable 802.1x authentication. Require 802.1x for all traffic: 802.1x authentication should be successful for any traffic to pass through the SM (i.e. Authenticator). Require 802.1x for all non-management traffic: Management traffic will be allowed to pass through the SM without 802.1x Authentication. 802.1x Authentication Mode This parameter specifies the authentication mode used by SM. Port Based Authentication: SM port is activated once the 802.1x authentication is successful. This configuration needs to be used when single host is connected behind SM. If authentication is successful, SM port is enabled, and all traffic will pass through. MAC Address Based Authentication: This option needs to be used when multiple hosts are connected behind an SM. Each host needs to be authenticated by 802.1x protocol to access the network. The traffic is filtered based on the source MAC address of the host, only the traffic from authenticated host will be allowed to access the network. 802.1x VLAN (Range :
1 4094) This parameter specifies the number of VLAN configurations. It ranges from 1 to 4094. VLAN configuration is used for sending 802.1x packet on the configured VLAN. If a customer excepts EAPoL packets on a VLAN, customer needs to configure the VLAN. Once VLAN is configured, all EAPoL packets are exchanged on the configured VLAN. VLAN 1 is the default configuration which is equivalent to untagged traffic.

Note Only the frequencies available for your region and the selected Channel bandwidth are displayed. Table 46 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz Page 1-146 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning Frequency Band Select the desired operating frequency band. Frequency Carrier Channel Bandwidth Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the AP and the SM. The supported Channel Bandwidths are 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 30 MHz, and 40 MHz. Note:
40 MHz is not supported on PMP 450 AP, but is supported on PMP 450 SMs. Frame Period Select the Frame Period of the radio. The supported Frame Periods are:
5 ms and 2.5 ms. OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-
pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). This timer may be utilized to initiate SM rescans in order to register to an AP configured with the SMs primary color code. Cyclic Prefix Color Code Subscriber Color Code Rescan (When not on a Primary Color Code) Page 1-147 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle Installation Color Code The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan (if this AP is not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will only fire once if the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a nonzero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan expires, the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle is started. If the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a zero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan timer expires, the SM will immediately go into rescan mode The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan while idle (if this AP is not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will fire periodic events. The fired event determines if any RF unicast traffic (either inbound or outbound) has occurred since the last event. If the results of the event determine that no RF unicast traffic has occurred (SM is idle), then the subscriber will rescan. With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-
10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If a SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Sector ID This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Sector ID at a configurable value from 0 to 15. MIMO Rate Adapt Algorithm This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Rate Adapt Algorithm to MIMO-A/B, MIMO-B only, or MIMO-A only. Downlink Maximum Modulation Rate This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Downlink Maximum Modulation Rate at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, or 8X. The default value is 8X. The Rate Adapt Algorithm does not allow the modulation to go beyond this limit. Uplink Maximum Modulation Rate This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Uplink Maximum Modulation Rate at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, or 8X. The default value is 8X. The Rate Adapt Algorithm does not allow the modulation to go beyond this limit. Max Range Enter the number of miles or kilometers for the furthest distance from which a SM is allowed to register to this AP. Do not set the distance to any greater number of miles. A greater distance Page 1-148 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters can reduce aggregate throughput. does not increase the power of transmission from the AP. For example, with a 20 MHz channel and 2.5 ms frame, every additional 2.24 miles reduces the data air time by one symbol (around 1% of the frame). Regardless of this distance, the SM must meet the minimum requirements for an acceptable link. The parameters have to be selected so that there is no overlap between one AP transmitting and another AP receiving. A co-
location tool is provided to help with selecting sets of parameters that allow co-location. The default value of this parameter is 2 miles (3.2 km). Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink
(frames transmitted from the AP to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput on the AP is 90 Mb, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 67.5 Mb for the downlink and 22.5 Mb for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 75%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Note In order to prevent self-interference, the frame configuration needs to align which includes Downlink Data, Max Range and Contention slots. For DFS regions, the maximum Downlink % for a 5.4 GHz radio is 75% only. This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page 1-208. For PMP systems broadcast packets are not acknowledged. So, they are sent at the lowest modulation rate 1X. This setting adds an automatic retransmission to broadcast packets to give SMs that have poor signal a higher chance to get the packet. This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page 1-208. This filed eliminates the need to configure optimal number of contention slots. When this feature is enabled, AP dynamically adjusts the number of contention slots resulting in improved performance. Downlink Data Contention Slots Broadcast Repeat Count Contention Slots Auto Contention EIRP This field indicates the combined power level at which the AP will transmit, based on the Country Code. It also includes the antenna gain and array gain. SM Receive Target Level Each SMs Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP. The AP monitors the received power from each SM, and adjusts each SMs Transmitter Output Power so that the received power at the AP from that SM is not greater what is set in this field. This value represents the transmitted and received power (combined power) perceived on the SM. Page 1-149 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Adjacent Channel Support For some frequency bands and products, this setting is needed if AP is operating on adjacent channels with zero guard band. Multicast VC Multicast Repeat Count Multicast Downlink CIR This pull-down menu of the Multicast VC screen helps in configuring multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 2X, 4X or 6X. The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 Series and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. This value is the number of packets that are repeated for every multicast VC packet received on the AP (located under Radio tab of Configuration). Multicast (like Broadcast) packets go over a VC that is shared by all SMs, so there is no guaranteed delivery. The repeat count is an attempt to improve the odds of the packets getting over the link. If the user has issues with packets getting dropped, they can use this parameter to improve the performance at the cost of the overall throughput possible on that channel. The default value is 0. This value is the committed information rate for the multicast downlink VC
(located under the Radio tab of Configuration). The default value is 0 kbps. The range of this parameter is based on the number of repeat counts. The higher the repeat count, the lower the range for the multicast downlink CIR. Near Field Operation This parameter is enabled by the Near Field Operation control. This is only available when the EIRP is set to 22 dBm or below. When Near Field Operation is enabled, the Near Field Range is used to apply compensation to the units calibration to support operation in the near field. SM Registration Limit This parameter allows to configure the limit for maximum number of SMs that can register to a PMP AP. The configurable range is from 1 to 238. Note SM trying to register after the maximum configured limit has been reached is locked out for 15 minutes and a message is displayed at the SM. Receive Quality Debug To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing.

Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning See Table 46 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 1-146 Whenever the radio detects a radar pulse in either Channel Availability Check or In-Service Monitoring Modes on carrier frequency it moves the operation to a frequency configured as Alternate Frequency Carrier 1. If the radio detects a radar pulse on Alternate Frequency Carrier 1, it moves the operation to a frequency configured as Alternate Frequency Carrier 2. If the radio detects a radar pulse on Alternate Frequency Carrier 2 it moves the operation back to carrier frequency. So, there are three options in round-robin formation. These parameters are displayed based on Regional Settings. Refer Country on page 1-73 See Table 46 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 1-146 Frequency Band Frequency Carrier Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 and 2 Channel Bandwidth Cyclic Prefix Frame Period Color Code Subscriber Color Code Rescan (When not on a Primary Color Code) Page 1-157 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle Installation Color Code Sector ID MMO Rate Adapt Algorithm Downlink Maximum Modulation Rate Uplink Maximum Modulation Rate Max Range See Table 46 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 1-146 Downlink Data See Table 46 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 1-146 Contention Slots
(a.k.a. Control Slots) This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page1-208. Auto Contention This parameter allows the operator to enable or disable Auto Contention. Broadcast Repeat Count The default is 2 repeats (in addition to the original broadcast packet, for a total of 3 packets sent for everyone needed), and is settable to 1 or 0 repeats (2 or 1 packets for every broadcast). ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) is not present in downlink broadcast packets, since it can cause unnecessary uplink traffic from every SM for each broadcast packet. For successful transport without ARQ, the AP repeats downlink broadcast packets. The SMs filter out all repeated broadcast packets and, thus, do not transport further. The default of 2 repeats is optimum for typical uses of the network as an internet access system. In applications with heavy download broadcast such as video distribution, overall throughput is significantly improved by setting the repeat count to 1 or 0. This avoids flooding the downlink with repeat broadcast packets. Transmitter Power This value represents the combined power of the APs two transmitters. Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example 900 MHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to maintain awareness of applicable regulations. calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. Page 1-158 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. External Gain This value needs to correspond to the published gain of the antenna used to ensure the radio will meet regulatory requirements. SM Receive Target Level See Table 46 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 1-146 Adjacent Channel Support For some frequency bands and products, this setting is needed if AP is operating on adjacent channels with zero guard band. Multicast VC Data Rate Multicast Repeat Count Multicast Downlink CIR This pull-down menu of the Multicast Data Control screen helps in configuring multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 2X, 4X or 6X. The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 Series and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. This value is the number of packets that are repeated for every multicast VC packet received on the AP (located under Radio tab of Configuration). Multicast (like Broadcast) packets go over a VC that is shared by all SMs, so there is no guaranteed delivery. The repeat count is an attempt to improve the odds of the packets getting over the link. If the user has issues with packets getting dropped, they can use this parameter to improve the performance at the cost of the overall throughput possible on that channel. The default value is 0. This value is the committed information rate for the multicast downlink VC
(located under the Radio tab of Configuration). The default value is 0 kbps. The range of this parameter is based on the number of repeat counts. The higher the repeat count, the lower the range for the multicast downlink CIR. SM Registration Limit This parameter allows to configure the limit for maximum number of SMs that can register to a PMP AP. The configurable range is from 1 to 238. Note SM trying to register after the maximum configured limit has been reached is locked out for 15 minutes and a message is displayed at the SM.. SM Registration Control Message All: This field allows to control registration of all type 450 Platform Family SM including 450 Series SM (450i/450b/450/430) or 450i Series SM. 450i Only: This field allows to control registration of 450i Series SM only Controls whether the control messages are sent in MIMO-B or MIMO-A mode. MIMO-A is recommended. However, if an AP on 13.2 is attempting to connect to an SM on 13.1.3 or before, changing to MIMO-B may aid in getting the SM registered. Page 1-159 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Receive Quality Debug To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM) and per channel (polarization).

Table 49 PMP 450i SM Radio attributes 5 GHz Page 1-163 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Page 1-164 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Page 1-165 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Page 1-166 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List Channel Bandwidth Scan Check the frequencies that SM has to scan for AP transmissions. See Radio Frequency Scan Selection List on page 1-200. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Note Selecting multiple channel bandwidths will increase registration and re-registration times. Cyclic Prefix The cyclic prefix for which AP scanning is executed. AP Selection Method Operators may configure the method by which a scanning SM selects an AP. By default, AP Selection Method is set to Optimize for Throughput, which has been the mode of operation in releases prior to 12.0.3.1. Power Level: AP selection based solely on power level Color Code 1 Note For operation with a PMP 450m AP, select the Power Level option or Optimize for Throughput: AP selection based on throughput optimization the selection decision is based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM registrations to the AP (which affects system contention performance). Color code allows you to force the SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Specify a value from 0 to 254. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). SMs may be configured with up to 20 color codes. These color codes can be tagged as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, or Disable. When the SM is scanning for APs, it will first attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs primary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs secondary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs tertiary color codes. This is all done in the scanning mode of the SM and will repeat until a registration has occurred. Page 1-167 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Installation Color Code Color codes in the same priority group are treated equally. For example, all APs matching one of the SMs primary color codes are analyzed equally. Likewise, this evaluation is done for the secondary and tertiary groups in order. The analysis for selecting an AP within a priority group is based on various inputs, including signal strength and number of SMs already registered to each AP. The first color code in the configuration is the pre-Release 9.5 color code. Thus, it is always a primary color code for legacy reasons. The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code. With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. Large VC data Queue SM and BH have a configurable option used to prevent packet loss in the uplink due to bursting IP traffic.

The Pager signals typically operate in the 928-930 frequency range. When the filter is enabled, the signals of 920 MHz and above are attenuated which enables better reception of signals in the rest of the band. Note that the AP/SM should not be configured on the frequencies of 920 MHz and above when this filter is enabled.

The supported bands are 4.9 GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz. Frequency Carrier Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the BHM and the BHS. Cyclic Prefix Frame Period Color Code OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-
pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. Select the Frame Period of the radio. The supported Frame Periods are: 5 ms and 2.5 ms. Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the BHM and the BHS must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each link a different color code. Color code allows you to force a BHS to register to only a specific BHM. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Sector ID This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Sector ID at a configurable value from 0 to 15. Large VC data Q Enable Large VC Q for applications that burst data high rates.

Minimum Modulation Rate This pull-down menu helps in configuring the Minimum Modulation Rate at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 6X, or 8X. The default value is 1X. If the Rate Adapt Algorithm is below this limit, then bridging is disabled. This is used if PTP network can route the traffic through another path. Downlink Data Transmit Power External Gain Receive Quality Debug Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink
(frames transmitted from the BHM to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput on the BHM is 132 Mbps, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 99 Mbps for the downlink and 33 Mbps for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 50%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Note In order to prevent self-interference, the frame configuration needs to align. This includes Downlink Data, Max Range and Contention slots. This value represents the combined power of the BHMs two transmitters. Nations and regions may regulate transmit power. For example PTP 450i Series modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to:
Maintain awareness of applicable regulations. Calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. Confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. Confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. This value needs to correspond to the published gain of the antenna used to ensure the radio will meet regulatory requirements. To aid in link performance monitoring, the BHM and BHS now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM) and per channel (polarization).

See Radio Frequency Scan Selection List on page 1-200. The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Note Selecting multiple channel bandwidths will increase registration and re-registration times. Cyclic Prefix Scan The cyclic prefix for which AP scanning is executed. AP Selection Method Operators may configure the method by which a scanning SM selects an AP. By default, AP Selection Method is set to Optimize for Throughput, which has been the mode of operation in releases prior to 12.0.3.1. Power Level: AP selection based solely on power level Color Code 1 Note For operation with a PMP 450m AP, select the Power Level option or Optimize for Throughput: AP selection based on throughput optimization the selection decision is based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM registrations to the AP (which affects system contention performance). Color code allows you to force the SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Specify a value from 0 to 254. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Page 1-182 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters SMs may be configured with up to 20 color codes. These color codes can be tagged as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, or Disable. When the SM is scanning for APs, it will first attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs primary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs secondary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs tertiary color codes. This is all done in the scanning mode of the SM and will repeat until a registration has occurred. Color codes in the same priority group are treated equally. For example, all APs matching one of the SMs primary color codes are analyzed equally. Likewise, this evaluation is done for the secondary and tertiary groups in order. The analysis for selecting an AP within a priority group is based on various inputs, including signal strength and number of SMs already registered to each AP. The first color code in the configuration is the pre-Release 9.5 color code. Thus, it is always a primary color code for legacy reasons. The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code. With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM.

Gain is 16 dBi and High Gain is 23 dBi. For ODUs with integrated antenna, this is set at the correct value in the factory.

Radio Frequency Scan Selection List The SM or BHS scans complete spectrum as per Full Spectrum Band Scan feature. SMs or BHS first boot into the smallest selected channel bandwidth (10 MHz, if selected) and scan all selected frequencies across both the 5.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz frequency bands. After this scan, if a wider channel bandwidth is selected (20 MHz), the SM/BHS automatically changes to 20 MHz channel bandwidth and then scans for APs/BHSs. After the SM/BHS finishes this final scan it will evaluate the best AP/BHM with which to register. If required for registration, the SM/BHS changes its channel bandwidth back to 10 MHz to match the best AP/BHM. The SM/BHS will attempt to connect to an AP/BHM based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM/BHS registrations to the AP/BHM (which affects system contention performance). If it is desired to prioritize a certain AP/BHM over other available APs/BHMs, operators may use the Color Code Priority feature on the SM/BHS. Utilization of the Color Code feature on the AP/BHM is recommended to further constrain the AP selection. If the SM does not find any suitable APs/BHMs for registration after scanning all channel bandwidths, the SM restarts the scanning process beginning with the smallest configured channel bandwidth. Selecting multiple frequencies and multiple channel bandwidths impacts the SM/BHS scanning time. The biggest consumption of time is in the changing of the SM/BHS channel bandwidth setting. The worst case scanning time is approximately two minutes after boot up (SM/BHS with all frequencies and channel bandwidths selected and registering to an AP/BHM at 10 MHz). If only one channel bandwidth is selected the time to scan all the available frequencies and register to an AP/BHM is approximately one minute after boot up. Other scanning features such as Color Code, Installation Color Code, and RADIUS authentication are unaffected by the Full Band Scan feature. Page 1-200 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Dedicated Multicast Virtual Circuit (VC) A Multicast VC allows to configure multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 4X or 8X. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 and PMP 450i and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. To configure Multicast VC, the AP must have this enabled. This can be enabled in the Multicast Data Control section (under Configuration > Radio page). The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. To enable, select the data rate that is desired for the Multicast VC Data Rate parameter and click Save Changes button. The radio requires no reboot after any changes to this parameter. The multicast VC allows three different parameters to be configured on the AP. These can be changed on the fly and are saved on the flash memory. Note If the Multicast VC Data Rate is set to a modulation that the radio is not currently capable of or operates in non-permitted channel conditions, multicast data is sent but not received. Ex: If Multicast VC Data Rate is set to 6x and the channel conditions only permit 4x mode of operation, then multicast data is sent at 6x modulation but the SM will not receive the data. Note The PMP 450 AP supports up to 119 VCs (instead of 238 VCs) when configured for 30 MHz channel bandwidth or 5 ms Frame Period. This limitation is not applicable for PMP 450i/450m Series. Note Actual Multicast CIR honored by the AP = Configured Multicast CIR/ (Multicast Repeat Count + 1). Increasing the Multicast data rate has no impact on the Unicast data rate. For multicast and unicast traffic mix scenario examples, see Table 65. Page 1-201 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Table 65 Example for mix of multicast and unicast traffic scenarios Repeat Count Multicast Data Rate (Mbps) Unicast Data Rate (Mbps) Aggregate DL Data Rate (Mbps) 0 1 2 10 5 3.33 40 40 40 50 45 43.33 The statistics have been added to the Data VC page (under Statistics > Data VC).

The custom frequency tab allows to configure custom frequency at 1 KHz raster. It means that the custom frequencies can be at granularity of 1 KHz e.g. 4910.123 MHz, 4922.333 MHz, 4933.421 MHz etc. Note Ensure that a customer frequency exists before using SNMP to set the radio to a Custom Frequency.

Page 1-206 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters DFS for 5 GHz Radios Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a requirement in several countries and regions for 5 GHz unlicensed systems to detect radar systems and avoid co-channel operation. DFS and other regulatory requirements drive the settings for the following parameters, as discussed in this section:
Country 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. Figure 28 AP DFS Status DFS operation The ODUs use region-specific DFS based on the Country Code selected on the modules Configuration, General page. By directing installers and technicians to set the Country Code correctly, the operator gains confidence the module is operating according to national or regional regulations without having to deal with the details for each region. The details of DFS operation for each Country Code, including whether DFS is active on the AP, SM, and which DFS regulations apply is shown in Table 172 on page 4-61. Page 1-207 Chapter 1: Configuration Contention slots Configuring radio parameters Contention slots are symbols at the end of the uplink subframe that are reserved for random access
(network entry and bandwidth requests) and cannot be used for data transmission. These symbols form the contention space. The frame is 2.5 ms or 5 ms long, and it is divided into a downlink subframe (data transmitted from the AP to the SM) and an uplink subframe (data transmitted from the SM to the AP). Figure 29 Frame structure The symbols in the uplink subframe can be scheduled or unscheduled. All scheduled symbols come before all unscheduled symbols. The number of scheduled and unscheduled symbols changes frame by frame depending on the amount of uplink requests received by the AP. The contention slots number is selected by the operator and indicates the number of symbols that are reserved in the unscheduled portion of the uplink. The total number of unscheduled symbols in each frame is the sum of the contention slots and any additional symbol that was not used in uplink data transmission. This means that the unscheduled portion of the uplink can be as small as the number of contention slots, or as big as the whole uplink. This allows SMs in sectors with a small number of contention slots configured to still successfully transmit bandwidth requests using unused data slots. Random access When an SM needs to send an unscheduled message (for network entry or a bandwidth request), it randomly selects one symbol out of the unscheduled portion of the uplink subframe and uses that symbol for transmission. The higher the number of unscheduled symbols, the lower the probability two or more SMs will select the same symbol for transmission and their messages will collide. When two messages collide at the AP receiver, most likely neither will be decoded correctly, and both SMs need to start the random-access process one more time. If this happens frequently, the latency of the system increases. A higher number of contention slots give higher probability that an SMs bandwidth request will be correctly received when the system is heavily loaded, but with the tradeoff that sector capacity is reduced, so there will be less capacity to handle the request. The sector capacity reduction is about 200 kbps for each contention slot configured in a 20 MHz channel at QPSK SISO modulation, for 2.5 ms frame sizes. The reduction in sector capacity is proportionally higher at MIMO modulations, as shown in the following table. Page 1-208 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Table 69 Throughput penalty per modulation Modulation mode Throughput penalty for each additional contention slot 2.5 ms frame 5 ms frame QPSK SISO (1X) QPSK MIMO (2X) 16-QAM MIMO (4X) 64-QAM MIMO (6X) 256-QAM MIMO (8X) 204 kbps 409 kbps 819 kbps 1.22 Mbps 1.63 Mbps 102 kbps 204 kbps 409 kbps 614 kbps 819 kbps Table 69 shows that the throughput penalty for each additional contention slot increases with modulation mode. The reason is that at higher modulation modes more fragments can be transmitted in a symbol. If additional symbols are reserved for random access, the number of fragments that cannot be sent in these symbols is higher at higher modulations, and therefore the throughput penalty is higher. However, the penalty expressed as a percentage of the throughput is the same for each modulation mode. For example, if a frame has 80 total symbols, each additional symbol reserved for random access reduces the sector throughput by 1.25%, regardless of the modulation mode. Selection of contention slots parameter The number of contention slots has to be selected according to the specific deployment parameters in each sector. If the number of contention slots is too small, then latency increases in high traffic periods. If the number of contention slots is too high, then the maximum capacity is unnecessarily reduced. The two main contributing factors to the selection of the number of contention slots are the number of SMs in a sector, and the type of traffic in the sector. Number of SMs in a sector If the number of SMs in a sector is large, it is recommended to increase the number of contention slots, in order to reduce the probability of two or more requests colliding. The suggested contention slot settings as a function of the number of active Data channels in the sector are shown in Table 70. Table 70 Contention slot settings Number of SMs Recommended Number of Contention slots 1 to 10 11 to 50 51 to 150 151 and above 3 4 6 8 Page 1-209 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Type of traffic in a sector Besides the number of SMs, the other main factor in contention slots selection is the type of traffic. If the sector experiences a lot of uplink traffic composed of small packets, for example in a sector that serves several VoIP streams, the average number of bandwidth requests transmitted by each SM is high. Another scenario with constant uplink traffic is video surveillance, which also generate a large number of uplink bandwidth requests. In these cases, the probability of two or more SMs transmitting a request in the same symbol is high. When this happens, the latency of the system increases, and it is recommended to increase the number of contention slots from the number in Table 70. If an AP is experiencing latency or SM-servicing issues, increasing the number of contention slots may increase system performance, depending on traffic mix over time. Recommendation on Contention Slots number selection 1. Calculate the number of active SMs in the sector. 2. Evaluate the traffic mix that is expected in the sector, more specifically the expected percentage of real-time traffic (ex. VoIP, gaming, video conferencing, and video surveillance). 3. 4. If the expected amount of real-time traffic is small, select the number of contention slots according to Table 70. If the expected amount of real-time traffic is large, select a number of contention slots larger than the number in Table 70. 5. Monitor latency in your system. If the percentage of real-time traffic increases and the sector experiences increasing latency and SM-servicing issues, increase the number of contention slots from the current setting. This is the reason why the maximum number of contention slots is 15, even if Table 2 shows 8 contention slots for more than 150 data channels. If the number of data channels is more than 150 and a significant portion of the traffic is real-time, the frequency with which bandwidth request messages are transmitted requires a higher number of contention slots, potentially as high as 15. A sector with a high number of video surveillance cameras would also require a larger number of contention slots to reduce the probability of collision between requests. 6. Monitor the percentage of BW requests successfully received and the UL frame utilization: if the frame utilization is high (close to 100%), then it is not recommended to change the number of contention slots, even if the percentage success rate of BW requests is low. However, if the percentage success rate of BW requests is low and the frame utilization is also low, then increasing the number of contention slots is recommended. Page 1-210 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Cluster of APs It is recommended to use care when changing the contention slots configuration of only some APs in a cluster, because changes affect the effective downlink/uplink ratio and can cause co-location issues. In a typical cluster, each AP should be configured with the same number of contention slots to assure proper timing in the send and receive cycles. The number of contention slots is used by the frame calculator to define the downlink and uplink times, which should not overlap from one AP to another. However, if the traffic experienced by two APs in the same cluster is different (for example, one supports significantly more VoIP traffic), the number of contention slots selected for each AP may not be the same. For APs in a cluster of mismatched contention slots setting, it is recommended to use the frame calculator to verify that send and receive times do not overlap (see the Frame calculator for co-
location). Note Change contention slot configuration in an operating, stable system cautiously and with a back-out plan. After changing a contention slot configuration, monitor the system closely for problems as well as improvements in system performance. Frame calculator for co-location The frame calculator is a tool available for the PMP 450 series systems, that calculates the length of the transmit and receive times, together with the number of downlink and uplink symbols, for a given set of configuration parameters. The frame calculator can be used to verify that co-location of APs using different contention slots settings does not create overlapping transmit and receive times. Basic rules For co-location of AP1 and AP2, we want to ensure that AP1 stops transmitting before AP2 starts receiving, and that AP2 stops transmitting before AP1 starts receiving. These are the rules that have to be satisfied for a correct co-location of the two APs:
AP1 Receive Start > AP2 Transmit End AP2 Receive Start > AP1 Transmit End Steps for co-location Let us assume that in a cluster of multiple APs with all the same settings, one APs settings are modified with a different number of contention slots. 1. Obtain all configuration settings for the APs that do not change parameters (duty cycle, contention slots, max distance) Input these configuration parameters into the OFDM Frame Calculator tool found under Tools. 2. 3. Click Calculate 4. Note the following values from the results:
AP Antenna Transmit End: ____________________ AP Antenna Receive Start: ____________________ 5. Access the AP that needs to have a different contention slots setting and use the frame calculator tool found under Tools Page 1-211 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters 6. Input the configuration parameters for this AP (same duty cycle and max distance as the other APs, different contention slots) 7. Click Calculate 8. Note the following values from the results:
AP Antenna Transmit End: ____________________ AP Antenna Receive Start: ____________________ 9. Check that the two following equations are both true:
AP1 Receive Start > AP2 Transmit End AP2 Receive Start > AP1 Transmit End 10. If one or both equations are not true, adjust the duty cycle until they become true (or the max distance if possible). Example Let us assume that all APs in a cluster have the same Max range settings, a 2.5 ms frame length and a 20 MHz channel BW, but the operator has fine-tuned the DL duty % per AP as follows:
AP1:
AP2:
Max range: 2 miles Contention slots: 3 DL duty cycle = 75%
Max range: 2 miles Contention slots: 3 DL duty cycle = 80%
Running the frame calculator as explained in the Steps for co-location, the AP1 Antenna Transmit End and Antenna Receive start times are:
AP1 Antenna Transmit End = 1.6440 ms AP1 Antenna Receive Start = 1.7972 ms AP2s Antenna Transmit End and Antenna Receive start times are:
AP2 Antenna Transmit End = 1.7411 ms AP2 Antenna Receive Start = 1.8943 ms The settings in AP1 in the cluster are now modified by changing the number of contention slots from 3 to 7, for example because this sector is constantly experiencing a higher volume of VoIP traffic. Running the frame calculator again, the new AP1 Antenna Transmit End and Antenna Receive start times are:
AP1 Antenna Transmit End = 1.5711 ms AP1 Antenna Receive Start = 1.7243 ms The two equations above have to be checked for correct co-location:
AP1 Antenna Receive Start > AP2 Antenna Transmit End 1.7243 ms >1.7411 ms NOT OK AP2 Antenna Receive Start > AP1 Antenna Transmit End 1.8943 ms >1.5711ms OK The first of the two equations are not true. AP2 is still transmitting when AP1 has already started receiving. This creates interference at the AP1 receiver. Page 1-212 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters To avoid this interference scenario, the duty cycle of AP2 can be further adjusted slightly. For example, changing the duty cycle of AP2 from 80% to 79% changes the AP2 Antenna Transmit End and Antenna Receive start times as follows:
AP2 Antenna Transmit End = 1.7168 ms AP2 Antenna Receive Start = 1.8700 ms The two equations have to be checked again for co-location:
AP1 Antenna Receive Start > AP2 Transmit End 1.7243 ms >1.7168 ms OK AP2 Receive Start > AP1 Transmit End 1.8700 ms >1.5711 ms OK Now both equations are true and the APs can be co-located.

CHECKS Device 2 UL start Device 1 UL start 1.894 1.797 OK OK MIMO-A mode of operation 450 Platform Family supports MIMO-B mode using the following modulation levels: QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-
QAM and 256-QAM. System Release 13.2 introduces MIMO-A mode of operation using the same modulation levels as the MIMO-B mode. With MIMO-B, the radio sends different streams of data over the two antennas whereas with MIMO-A, the radio uses a scheme that tries to optimize coverage by transmitting the same data over both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver making it more robust, at the cost of throughput. In addition to introducing MIMO-A modes, improvements have been made to the existing rate adapt algorithm to switch between MIMO-A and MIMO-B seamlessly without any intervention or added configuration by the operator. The various modulation levels used by the 450 Platform Family are shown in Table 71.

For PMP 450 AP (3.6 GHz) and 450 series APs with 450b SM (5 GHz) connected, Configuration ->
Radio -> Power Control -> Adjacent Channel Support must be enabled. Improved PPS performance of 450 Platform Family The 450m, 450i, and 450b Series provides improved packets per second (PPS) performance compared to 450 Series. Page 1-216 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Through hardware and software enhancements, the PPS performance of the PMP 450i Series AP and PMP 450b SM has been improved to 40k packets/second, measured through a standard RFC2544 test using 64 bytes packets. With this enhancement, operators are able to provide higher bandwidth including better VoIP and video services to end customers using existing SM deployments. PMP 450m is capable of supporting more than 100k PPS (packets per second). Page 1-217 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Setting up SNMP agent Operators may use SNMP commands to set configuration parameters and retrieve data from the AP and SM modules. Also, if enabled, when an event occurs, the SNMP agent on the 450 Platform Family sends a trap to whatever SNMP trap receivers configured in the management network. SNMPv2c SNMPv3 Page 1-218 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Configuring SM/BHSs IP over-the-air access To access the SM/BHS management interface from a device situated above the AP, the SM/BHSs Network Accessibility parameter (under the web GUI at Configuration > IP) may be set to Public. Table 74 LAN1 Network Interface Configuration tab of IP page attributes Attribute IP Address Network Accessibility Meaning Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Specify whether the IP address of the SM/BHS must be visible to only a device connected to the SM/BHS by Ethernet (Local) or be visible to the AP/BHM as well (Public). Subnet Mask If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM/BHS for RF management traffic. Gateway IP Address DHCP state DNS IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM/BHS for RF management traffic. If Enabled is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable (read only), in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS Server The first address used for DNS resolution. Alternate DNS Server If the Preferred DNS server cannot be reached, the Alternate DNS Server is used. Page 1-219 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Page 1-220 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Configuring SNMP The SNMP page configuration is explained below. Note The SNMP page for AP, SM, BHM and BHS has the same parameter attributes. SNMP page AP/SM/BHM/BHS The SNMP page is explained in Table 75. Table 75 SNMP page attributes Page 1-221 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Attribute Meaning SNMP Community String 1 Specify a control string that can allow a Network Management Station
(NMS) to access SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopy. SNMP Community String 1 Permissions You can designate the SNMP Community String 1 to be the password for WM, for example, to have Read / Write access to the module via SNMP or for all SNMP access to the module to be Read Only. Page 1-222 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent SNMP Community String 2 (Read Only) Engine ID SNMPv3 Security Level SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol SNMPv3 Read-Only User SNMPv3 Read/Write User Additional SNMP v3 User 1 Specify an additional control string that can allow a Network Management Station (NMS) to read SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopyro. This password will never authenticate a user or an NMS to read/write access. The Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor. Additional security derives from the configuration of the Accessing Subnet, Trap Address, and Permission parameters. The Engine ID may be between 5 and 32 hex characters. The hex character input is driven by RFC 3411 recommendations on the Engine ID. The default Engine ID is the MAC address of the device Specify security model where users are defined and authenticated before granting access to any SNMP service. Each device can configure the security level of SNMPv3 to No authentication/No privacy, Authentication/No privacy, or Authentication/Privacy. Currently, the SNMPv3 authentication protocol MD5 is supported. Currently, the SNMPv3 privacy protocol CBC-DES is supported. This field allows for a read-only user per devices. The default values for the Read-Only users is:
Username = Canopyro Authentication Password = authCanopyro Privacy Password = privacyCanopyro Read-write user by default is disabled. The default values for the Read/Write users is:

Authorizaton Key: This field allows to configure an authorization key for the user. Privacy Key: This field allows to configure a privacy key for the user. Note Set SNMP v3 Security Level field to: auth, priv to enable the Authorization Key and Privacy Key fields. Enabled User can be set with following Privacy settings:
ReadWrite User ReadOnly User SNMPv3 Trap Configuration Accessing IP / Subnet Mask 1 to 10 When enabling transmission of SNMPv3 traps the read-only or read-write user credentials must be used and selected properly in order for the SNMP manager to correctly interpret the traps. By default transmission of SNMPv3 traps is disabled and all traps sent from the radios are in SNMPv2c format. Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this AP. The NMS has an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form /xx For example:
Page 1-224 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet). 192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range 192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the AP, presuming that the device supplies the correct Community String value. The default treatment is to allow all networks access. For more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on Classless Interdomain Routing. You are allowed to specify as many as 10 different accessing IP address, subnet mask combinations. RECOMMENDATION:
The subscriber can access the SM/BHS by changing the subscriber device to the accessing subnet. This hazard exists because the Community String and Accessing Subnet are both visible parameters. To avoid this hazard, configure the SM/BHS to filter (block) SNMP requests. The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the trap server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. The default SNMP trap server addresses for all 10 available servers is 0.0.0.0 with the appending of the DNS domain name disabled. after a reboot of the module. Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or DNS names to which SNMP traps must be sent. Traps inform Wireless Manager or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent when an NMS attempts to access agent information but either supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number. is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed. SNMP Trap Server DNS Usage Trap Address 1 to 10 Trap Enable, Sync Status If the sync status traps (sync lost and sync regained) have to be sent to Wireless Manager or an NMS, select Enabled. If these traps have to be suppressed, select Disabled. Trap Enable, Session Status If you want session status traps sent to Wireless Manager or an NMS, select Enabled. LQI Traps This field enables and disables traps for LQI. LQI threshold to raise trap (delta from reference LQI value) It is configured in percentage. The LQI trap is raised if the LQI values goes below the configured threshold to raise trap from reference LQI. For example, if the LQI threshold to raise trap is set as 30, the LQI trap will be raised once the LQI goes below 70% (100-30). LQI threshold to clear trap (delta from reference LQI value) It is configured in percentage. The LQI trap is cleared if the LQI values goes above the configured threshold to clear trap from reference LQI. For example, if the LQI threshold to clear trap is set as 25, the LQI trap will be clear once the LQI goes above 75% (100-25). Page 1-225 Chapter 1: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Minimum observation period It is minimum observation period to raise and clear the traps after LQI threshold. It can be configured between 1 to 15 minutes. Site Information Viewable to Guest Users Site Name Site Contact Site Location Operators can enable or disable site information from appearing when a user is in GUEST account mode. Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is written into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Enter contact information for the module administrator. This parameter is written into the sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Enter information about the physical location of the module. This parameter is written into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Page 1-226 Configuring syslog Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring syslog 450 Platform Family includes:
Syslog event logging Configuring system logging Syslog event logging Following events are logged in syslog as explained in Table 76. Table 76 Syslog parameters Attribute Meaning Timestamp All syslog messages captured from the radio have a timestamp. Configuration Changes User Login and Logout Add or Delete of user accounts through GUI and SNMP This includes any device setting that has changed and includes the old or new parameter value, including the device reboots. Syslog records each user login and logout, with username. Syslog captures any user accounts that are added or deleted. Spectrum Analysis Syslog records a message every time Spectrum Analysis runs. Note Since the AP/BHM must be set to a SM/BHS for Spectrum Analysis, syslog messages are not reported from the radio until the scan is done and the radio mode is switched back to AP/BHM. Link Test Syslog records a message every time a Link Test is run. Clear Statistics SM Register or De-
register BHS Connect or Disconnect Syslog sends a message when Statistics are cleared. This is done individually for each statistics page that is cleared. Syslog records a message when a SM registers or deregisters. Syslog records a message when a BHS connects or disconnects. Configuring system logging To configure system logging, select the menu option Configuration > Syslog. Page 1-227 Chapter 1: Configuration Syslog page of AP/BHM The Syslog Configuration page for AP/BHM is shown in Table 77. Table 77 Syslog Configuration attributes - AP Configuring syslog Attribute Meaning Syslog DNS Server Usage To configure the AP/BHM to append or not append the DNS server name to the syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. AP Syslog Transmit Or BHM Syslog Transmit SM Syslog Transmit Or BHS Syslog Transmit Syslog Minimum Level Syslog page of SM When enabled, syslog messages are sent from the AP/BHM. When enabled, syslog messages are sent from all the registered SMs/BHS, unless they are individually set to override this. This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. To configure system logging, select the menu option Configuration > Syslog. The Syslog Configuration page is shown in Table 78. Page 1-228 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring syslog Table 78 Syslog Configuration attributes - SM Attribute Meaning Syslog Configuration Source This control determines whether the SM will attempt to use the syslog server definition from the AP, or whether it will use a local server definition. When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the syslog server defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any. When set to Local only the SM ignores the APs definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for each SM. Syslog DNS Server Usage To configure the SM to append or not the DNS server name to the syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. Syslog Transmission Syslog Minimum Level Source Controls the SMs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to Learn from AP the AP will control whether this SM transmits syslog messages. When set to enable or disable the SM will control whether it sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override the AP settings for individual SMs in a sector. This control determines whether the SM attempts to use the minimum syslog level defined by the AP, or whether it uses a local defined value using the Syslog Minimum Level parameter. When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the Syslog Minimum Level defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting. When set to Local only the SM will always use its own Syslog Minimum Level setting and ignores the APs setting. Page 1-229 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring syslog Syslog Minimum Level This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. Syslog page of BHS The Syslog Configuration page is shown in Table 79. Table 79 Syslog Configuration attributes - BHS Attribute Meaning Syslog Configuration Source This control determines whether the BHS will attempt to use the syslog server definition from the BHM, or whether it will use a local server definition. When set to BHM preferred, use local when BHM configuration unavailable, and if the BHS can register with a BHM, then it uses the syslog server defined on that BHM. If the BHS cannot register then it will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any. When set to Local only the BHS ignores the BHMs definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for each BHS. Syslog DNS Server Usage To configure the BHS to append or not to append the DNS server name to the syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port Syslog Transmission The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. Controls the BHSs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to Learn from BHM the BHM will control whether this BHS transmits syslog messages. When set to enable or disable the BHS will Page 1-230 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring syslog control whether it sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override the BHM settings for individual BHSs in a sector. This control determines whether the BHS attempts to use the minimum syslog level defined by the BHM, or whether it uses a local defined value using the Syslog Minimum Level parameter. When set to BHM preferred, use local when BHM configuration unavailable, and if the BHS can register with a BHM, then it uses the Syslog Minimum Level defined on that BHM. If the BHS cannot register then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting. When set to Local only the BHS will always use its own Syslog Minimum Level setting and ignores the BHMs setting. This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity).

For example, to access one of the SMs, click LUID: 002 [0a-00-3e-37-b9-fd], as shown in Figure 30. Figure 30 AP Session Status page The SessionStatus.xml hyper link allows user to export all displayed SM data in Session Status table into an xml file. To access any one of the SMs, click 450 Platform Family - SM hyperlink, as shown in Figure 31. Figure 31 AP Remote Subscribers page Page 1-232 Chapter 1: Configuration Monitoring the Link Link monitoring procedure Monitoring the Link After configuring the link, either an operator in the network office or the SM/BHS INSTALLER user in the field (if read access to the AP/BHM is available to the INSTALLER) must perform the following procedure. Who is authorized and able to do this depends on local operator password policy, management VLAN setup and operational practices. To monitor the link for performance, follow these instructions:
Procedure 14 Monitoring the AP-SM link 1 Access the web interface of the AP/BHM 2 In the left-side menu of the AP/BHM interface, select Home. 3 Click the Session Status tab. Figure 32 Session Status page 4 The Device tab of Session Status List display all displayed SMs MAC address, PMP/PTP Hardware, Software Version, FPGA Version and State Page 1-233 Chapter 1: Configuration Monitoring the Link 5 Click Session Count tab of Session Status List to display values for Session Count, Reg Count, and Re-Reg Count. Session Count: This field displays how many sessions the SM/BHS has had with the AP/BHM. Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. Reg Count: When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is not currently in session database and it is valid Registration Request, then the request increments the value of this field. Re-Reg Count: When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is currently in session database, then the request increments the value of this field. Typically, a Re-Reg is the case where both o SM/BHS attempts to reregister for having lost communication with the AP/BHM. o AP/BHM has not yet observed the link to the SM/BHS as being down.

Consider the installation successful. Monitor these values from the network office over the next several hours and days. If these values are greater than 1, 1, and 0, or they increase while you are monitoring them, troubleshoot the link.

Sustained Uplink Data Rate (kbps) Uplink Burst Allocation (kb) Sustained Downlink Data Rate (kbps) Downlink Burst Allocation (kb) Max Burst Downlink Data Rate (kbps) Max Burst Uplink Data Rate (kbps) Set each of these parameters per AP or per SM independently. Note You can refer below whitepaper for 450 Platform Family Max Burst MIR:
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/resources/pmp-450-maxburst/
Token Bucket Algorithm The software uses a token bucket algorithm that has the following features:
Stores credits (tokens) for the SM to spend on bandwidth for reception or transmission. Drains tokens during reception or transmission. Refills with tokens at the sustained rate set by the network operator. 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. When the SM transmits (or the AP transmits) a packet, the equivalent number of tokens is removed from the uplink (or downlink) bucket. Except when full, the bucket is continuously being refilled with tokens at rates that the applicable set of Sustained Uplink Data Rate and Sustained Downlink Data Rate parameters specify. The bucket often drains at a rate that is much faster than the sustained data rate but can refill at only the sustained data rate. Thus, the effects of the allocation and rate parameters on packet delay are as follows:
The burst allocation affects how many kilobits are processed before packet delay is imposed. The sustained data rate affects the packet delay that is imposed. Page 1-236 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service MIR Data Entry Checking Uplink and downlink MIR is enforced as shown in Figure 34. Note In these figures, entry refers to the setting in the data rate parameter, not the burst allocation parameter. Figure 34 Uplink and downlink rate caps adjusted to apply aggregate cap uplink cap enforced =
downlink cap enforced =
uplink entry x aggregate cap for the SM uplink entry + downlink entry downlink entry x aggregate cap for the SM uplink entry + downlink entry 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 is enforced for the SM can be calculated as shown in Figure 35. Figure 35 Uplink and downlink rate cap adjustment example uplink cap enforced =
2,000 kbps x 7,000 kbps 2,000 kbps + 10,000 kbps
= 1,167 kbps downlink cap enforced =
`
10,000 kbps x 7,000 kbps 2,000 kbps + 10,000 kbps
= 5,833 kbps In this example case, the derived 1,167-kbps uplink and 5,833-kbps downlink MIR sum to the fixed 7,000-
kbps aggregate cap of the SM. Committed Information Rate (CIR) The Committed Information Rate (CIR) capability feature enables the service provider to guarantee to any subscriber that bandwidth will never decrease to below a specified minimum unless CIR is oversubscribed or RF conditions are degraded. CIR is oversubscribed when there is not enough available bandwidth to support CIR configuration for all subscribers. In this condition, SMs which are configured with a nonzero CIR will all operate at the maximum data rate supported by the link (subject to Maximum Information Rate and Burst Rate/Allocations). SMs which are configured with a CIR of 0 kbps will not transmit until CIR-configured SMs have completed transmission. CIR may be configured independently for low priority traffic, medium priority traffic, high priority traffic, and ultra high priority traffic. Page 1-237 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Note CIR settings only apply to the Legacy scheduler. Starting in release 16.1 a new Proportional scheduler can optionally be enabled via Configuration -> Quality of Service -> Scheduler setting. If Proportional Scheduler is set, CIR's are not used. CIR parameters may be configured in the following ways:
Web-based management GUI SNMP Authentication Server (RADIUS) - when an SM successfully registers and authenticates, CIR information is retrieved from the RADIUS server. Active CIR configuration can be verified via the APs Home > Session Status page. Bandwidth from the SM Perspective In the SM, normal web browsing, e-mail, small file transfers and short streaming video are rarely rate limited with practical bandwidth management (QoS) settings. When the SM processes large downloads such as software upgrades and long streaming video or a series of medium-size downloads, the bucket rapidly drains, the burst limit is reached, and some packets are delayed. The subscriber experience is more affected in cases where the traffic is more latency sensitive. 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. After the burst, the bucket experiences a significant refill at the Sustained Data Rate. This configuration uses the advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. If both the Burst Allocation and the Sustained Data Rate are set to 128 kb, a burst is limited to the Burst Allocation value. This configuration does not take advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. If the Burst Allocation is set to 128 kb and the Sustained Data Rate is set to 256 kbps, the actual rate is the burst allocation (but in kbps). As above, this configuration does not take advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. SM Prioritization Note This feature is not supported on PMP 450m. SM Prioritization provides a way to designate a subset of a PMP sector's SMs with a guaranteed portion of air interface resources - slots, which are handled first during scheduling. SMs by default are configured in the SM Prioritization Low Group, and can be configured for the SM Prioritization High Group if desired. The selection of which prioritization group each SM is configured in Configuration -> Quality of Service tab -> SM Prioritization Configuration on the SM GUI, as shown in Figure 36. Page 1-238 Chapter 1: Configuration Figure 36 SM Prioritization on SM Configuring quality of service The feature does not take effect, however, until SM Prioritization is enabled on the AP, because the scheduler runs on the AP. Prioritization Allocation percentages per group are configured on the AP to determine how many timeslot resources are dedicated to each priority group. Enabling of the feature and allocation percentages per group are configured in Configuration ->
Quality of Service tab -> SM Prioritization Configuration on the AP GUI as shown in Figure 37. With Cambiums SM prioritization feature, we guarantee a percentage of slot resources to each prioritization group. If the resource allocation demands of the SMs in the High Priority allocation group are met without allocating all of that groups allocation percentage, the remaining resources can be used for any unmet demands for SMs in the Low Group. Similarly, if the resource allocation demands of the SMs in the Low Priority allocation group are met without allocating all of that groups allocation percentage, the remaining resources can be used for any unmet demands for SMs in the High Group. If the sector has 100% utilization, the resource allocation per group will equal the percentages configured on the AP. This feature can be used to provide guaranteed frame allocation to high priority clients, such as business customers. Although SM Prioritization Group 1 is called the High Priority group, and SM Prioritization Group 2 is called the Low Priority group, this does not mean that 1 group is scheduled resources before the other group. The intention is, by adjusting the number of SMs in the High Priority group and the allocation percentages per group, the SMs in the High Priority group will have a higher slots/SMs ratio. The following figure shows the SM Prioritization configuration at the AP with this feature enabled. Figure 37 SM Prioritization on AP In the example shown in Figure 37, 2 of the 8 SMs have been configured for the High Priority Group. The other 6 are in the Low Priority group. 45% of the air interface timeslot resources have been allocated to the Low Priority group. If, for example, all SMs are fully active and all resources in this sector are fully utilized, then 55% of the air interface slot resources will be shared between the 2 High Priority SMs, per direction, and the remaining 45% of the resources will be shared between the other 6 SMs. If, on the other hand, only 40% of the resources are needed to meet the scheduling demands of the 2 High Priority SMs, the additional 15% that was pre-allocated to the High Priority group can then be used for the Low Priority group, maintaining 100% slot utilization in the sector. Page 1-239 Chapter 1: Configuration SM Prioritization with CIR Configuring quality of service When the SM Prioritization feature is used with CIR, Cambiums scheduler will first prioritize scheduling of data channels configured with a CIR, but only within the limits of that SMs Prioritization Group allocation. In the example configuration shown in Figure 37, there are 6 SMs in the Low Prioritization group. If 3 of those 6 SMs each have a 1Mbps CIR configured, the Cambium scheduler will attempt to meet this 1Mbps CIR per SM before scheduling the other 3 SMs. But if both prioritization groups are overloaded, this 3Mbps committed load on these 3 SMs will only be achieved if it can be done with 55%
of the resources or less per direction. Page 1-240 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) Note This feature is not supported on PMP 450m. This feature lets the user assign a percentage of air interface resources to each of the Data Channel levels. The WFQ apply both to the DL and the UL. Note that there is no BC/MC traffic in the UL direction. One of the benefits of WFQ is that the configuration can be accomplished at the AP rather than at each individual SMs. This feature can be used with or in place of existing CIR settings. Unlike CIR, which is set in kbps independent of the modulation rate, the WFQ feature operates on a percentage of air interface resources, or timeslots. Figure 38 is an example of a WFQ configuration on the AP. This can be found in Configuration ->
Quality of Service tab -> Weighted Fair Queuing Configuration on the AP GUI. In this particular sector, we have 30 Data channels spread across 8 registered SMs. 4 levels of QoS have been configured on 7 of the SMs, 2 levels of QoS have been configured on 1 of the SMs. Figure 38 Weighted Fair Queuing Configuration The above figure shows that 4% of the air interface resources have been reserved for Broadcast/Multicast traffic, 22% of the available air interface timeslot have been reserved for the lowest priority traffic, 22% for medium priority traffic, 26% for high priority traffic, and 26% for the highest priority traffic (Ultra High Priority). If, at any point in the time, the aggregate traffic load across all SMs on 1 QoS level is less than that levels Weighted Fair Queue allocation, then those unused slots will be allocated for traffic in other QoS levels, based on strict priority. Page 1-241 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service For example, if, during peak traffic hours, the Ultra High, High, and Low priority Data channels were experiencing heavy traffic loads, but the medium priority aggregate traffic load was light and only used 10% of the scheduling slots in a particular direction, the remaining unused 12% of the slots would be allocated first to the Ultra High priority traffic in queue. When all the Ultra High priority traffic has been scheduled, then any remaining unused slots would be used for High Priority traffic. Finally, after High Priority traffic has been serviced, any remaining slots would be used for Low Priority traffic. The Low Priority in the sub-heading Low Priority SMs WFQ Configuration shown above simply indicates that the SM Prioritization feature is turned off in this example above. The Valid indication in this screenshot is a simple software check to make sure that the configured percentages add up to 100%. WFQ with CIR Note This feature is not supported on PMP 450m. The WFQ feature can be used with, or as a replacement for, configuring Committed Information Rates
(CIR) per data channel. When the WFQ feature is used with CIRs, Cambiums scheduler will first prioritize scheduling of the Data channels configured with a CIR, but only within the limits of that QoS levels WFQ allocation. Using the example configuration show in Figure 38, there are 8 high priority Data channels. If 5 of those 8 Data channels have a CIR configured, then the Cambium scheduler will prioritize traffic on those 5 Data channels up to their CIR limits, for those 26% of the timeslots allocated to that QoS level. Operators should try to avoid oversubscription of CIRs. But if CIRs have been oversubscribed at any 1 QoS level such that the desired CIR rates cannot be met within the limits of that levels WFQ allocation, the scheduler will use unallocated slots from another QoS level in strict priority order. From the prior example, if there is less than 22% of timeslots worth of traffic on the medium priority Data channels, those unused slots would be allocated to Ultra High Priority traffic on Data channels that had not met their CIR commitment within the WFQ allocation, then on High Priority Data channels that had not met their CIR commitment within WFQ allocation, then on Low Priority Data channels that had not met their CIR commitment with WFQ allocation, then on Ultra High Priority traffic above and beyond any CIR configurations, and so on. Page 1-242 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service WFQ with SM Prioritization Note This feature is not supported on PMP 450m. Figure 39 shows a WFQ configuration with the SM Prioritization feature also enabled. Figure 39 WFQ with SM Prioritization In the example shown in Figure 39, 2 of the 8 SMs have been configured for the High Priority Group. The other 6 are in the Low Priority group. 45% of air interface timeslot resources have been allocated to the Low priority group. The same allocation rules described above still apply to the WFQ allocation, but now these allocations are done within the confines of each Prioritization group. So, in this configuration shown in Figure 39, the 2 Medium Priority QoS level Data channels in the High Priority SM Prioritization Group together share 12% of the committed air interface resources per direction. (.55 x .22 = .12) The same CIR allocation rules apply. The Cambium scheduler will attempt to meet those CIR allocations within the confines of that 12% allocation. If the traffic load on those 2 data channels is light, for example using only 5% of the available slots, then the remaining 7% of resources can be used for other traffic in a strict priority manner. (i.e. attempt to honor CIRs first, then Ultra High Priority traffic, then High Priority traffic, and so on, as described previously). Page 1-243 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Proportional Scheduler This feature, also known as the Rate Plan feature, allows a user to set Plans per SM in units of Kbps. The proportional scheduler maintains the proportions of the SMs plans when the sector is congested. A default plan setting per direction also exists on the AP and is used in case an SM is not configured with a Plan (for example, the SM is not upgraded to system release 16.1 yet). Figure 40 Scheduler Settings on AP When selecting the Proportional scheduler, CIR is no longer applicable. In system release 16.1, the SM supports a Proportional Scheduler setting section in the Configuration->
Quality of Service (QoS) page. These settings are applicable only if the AP is configured to use the Proportional scheduler. Figure 41 Proportional Scheduler Settings on AP The above 6 settings parameters are described in detail in the Quality of Service (QoS) page of SM later in this document. The proportional scheduler works in conjunction with the Weighted Fair Queuing feature (in the products that support it), but preserving the plans ratios takes precedence in the scheduler decisions over honoring the WFQ percentages High-priority Bandwidth Traffic To support low-latency traffic such as VoIP (Voice over IP) or video, or critical traffic such as control packets, the system implements priority data channels. Prior to PMP 450 Release 15.2, the system allowed for a single High Priority Channel to be configured per SM and per direction, in addition to the default low priority channel. This channel did not affect the inherent latencies in the system but allowed high-priority traffic to be immediately served. The high-priority pipe separates low-latency traffic from traffic that is latency tolerant, such as standard web traffic and file downloads. From system release 15.2, the system supports up to 4 QoS levels, or data channels, per SM. These are called Low, Medium, High, and Ultra High data channels. Page 1-244 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service The number of data channels available on the AP is still limited to 238 in release 15.2 This could be 238 SMs each configured with a single Low Priority channel, or, for example, 59 SMs with 4 data channels configured and 1 SM with 2 data channels configured. A module prioritizes traffic by:
reading the 802.1p field of the 802.1Q header in a received packet, where VLAN is enabled on the module. comparing the 6-bit Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field in the ToS byte of a received packet to a corresponding value in the Diffserv tab of the Configuration page of the module. Modules monitor ToS bytes with DSCP fields, but with the following differences:
The 6-bit length of the field allows it to specify one of 64 service differentiations. These correlate to 64 individual (CodePoint) parameters in the Diffserv tab of the Configuration page. The 8 Class Selector code points are fixed in code and not user settable. For any or all of the remaining 56 CodePoint parameters, you can specify a value of o 0, 1 for low-priority handling. o 2, 3 for medium-priority handling. o 4,5 for high-priority handling. o 6, 7 for ultra-high-priority handling. The above mapping applies if 4 QoS levels are configured. If fewer than that are configured, see the mapping table in the IPv4 and IPv6 Prioritization of this document. Note Ensure that your Differentiated Services domain boundary nodes mark any entering packet, as needed, so that it specifies the appropriate Code Point for that traffic and domain. This prevents theft of service level. An example of the Diffserv page in the Configuration menu and parameter descriptions are provided under DiffServ attributes AP/BHM on page 1-62. This tab and its rules are identical from module type to module type. However, any of the 61 configurable Code Points can be set to a different value from module to module, thus defining unique per-hop behavior for some traffic. This tab in the AP sets the priorities for the various packets in the downstream (sent from the public network). This tab in the SM 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. The default values in the Diffserv page allow your modules to prioritize traffic from the older devices roughly the same as they traditionally have. However, these default values may result in more high-priority traffic as DSCP fields from the newer devices are read and handled. So, after making changes in the Diffserv page, carefully monitor the high-priority channel for high packet rates across your network when you have broadly implemented Code Point values, such as via SNMP. in SMs that you have identified as those to initially set and watch.

If either feature is enabled, see the description of those features in this document for how they impact and interact with this transmission order.

See Maximum Information Rate (MIR) Parameters on page 1-236 Interaction of Burst Allocation and Sustained Data Rate Settings on page 1-238 Page 1-251 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Configuration Source on page 1-73 Max Burst Downlink Data Rate These parameters allow operators to specify the data rate at which an SM is allowed to transmit (until burst allocation limit is reached) before being recharged at the Sustained Downlink Data Rate with credits to transit more. When set to 0 (default), the burst rate is unlimited. Max Burst Uplink Data Rate These parameters allow operators to specify the data rate at which an SM is allowed to transmit (until burst allocation limit is reached) before being recharged at the Sustained Uplink Data Rate with credits to transit more. When set to 0 (default), the burst rate is unlimited. Broadcast Downlink CIR Broadcast Downlink CIR (Committed Information Rate, a minimum) supports system designs where downlink broadcast is desired to have higher priority than other traffic. For many other system designs, especially typical internet access networks, leave the Broadcast Downlink CIR at the default. Broadcast Downlink CIR is closely related to the Broadcast Repeat Count parameter, which is settable in the Radio tab of the Configuration page in the AP: when the Broadcast Repeat Count is changed, the total of available bandwidth is also changed, since packets are being sent one, two, or three times, according to the setting in the Broadcast Repeat Count parameter. Scheduler This parameter allows the operator to either select the Proportional scheduler or the Legacy scheduler. Default Downlink Plan This parameter allows the operator to configure the default downlink plan. The value range for this parameter is 1 310000 kbps. Note: Configure this parameter when an SM is not configured with a plan or an SM is still running software older than system release 16.1. Default Uplink Plan This parameter allows the operator to configure the default uplink plan. The value range for this parameter is 1 310000 kbps. Note: Configure this parameter when an SM is not configured with a plan or an SM is still running software older than system release 16.1. Priority Precedence Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. PPPoE Control Message Priority Prioritize TCP ACK Operators may configure the SM to utilize the high priority channel for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the SM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the SM. To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements. Management Data Priority Level This parameter allows to set the priority level of the VC used by Management data. Page 1-252 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Low: Management data uses low priority VC. High: Management data uses highest priority VC SM Prioritization Low Group Count This parameter displays the number and percentage of SMs allocated with low prioritization. SM Prioritization High Group Count This parameter displays the number and percentage of SMs allocated with high prioritization. SM Prioritization To associate a group of SMs at the same prioritization level with a guaranteed percentage of time for data to/from SMs in the group, enable this parameter. Low Prioritization Allocation and High Prioritization Allocation parameters are visible when SM Prioritization is enabled. Note: SM Prioritization is not applicable for proportional scheduler. Low Prioritization Allocation This parameter configures the percentage of timeslots dedicated to low prioritization group of SMs High Prioritization Allocation Once the Low Prioritization Allocation parameter is configured, this parameter automatically allocates the percentage of slots dedicated to high prioritization group of SMs such that the sum of parameters Low Prioritization Allocation and High Prioritization Allocation is 100%. Data Channel Count -
Low Priority This parameter displays the percentage of time committed to transfer data to/from VCs at Low Priority QoS level. Data Channel Count -
Medium Priority This parameter displays the percentage of time committed to transfer data to/from VCs at Medium Priority QoS level. Data Channel Count -
High Priority This parameter displays the percentage of time committed to transfer data to/from VCs at High Priority QoS level. Data Channel Count -
Ultra High Priority This parameter displays the percentage of time committed to transfer data to/from VCs at Ultra High Priority QoS level. Weighted Fair Queuing To provide a committed frame space for all QoS levels, enable this parameter. WFQ Configuration (SM Prioritization Low Group):
If the percentage of Low Priority SMs is configured as 100%, or SM Prioritization is disabled, or the WFQ feature is disabled, then the GUI displays the following set of five WFQ configuration parameters Page 1-253 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Data Channel Allocation -
Broadcast/Multicast Data Channel Allocation - Low Priority Data Channel Allocation - Medium Priority Data Channel Allocation - High Priority Data Channel Allocation - Ultra High Priority This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for broadcast/multicast. This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for low priority QoS level. This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for medium priority QoS level. This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for high priority QoS level. This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for ultra high priority QoS level. WFQ Configuration (SM Prioritization High Group):
If SM Prioritization is enabled and the percentage of Low Priority SMs is configured as anything less than 100%, which means that the percentage of High Priority SMs is not 0, and the WFQ feature is enabled, then the GUI displays the WFQ Configuration (SM Prioritization Low Group) and the following set of five WFQ configuration parameters for High group. Data Channel Allocation - Low Priority Data Channel Allocation - Medium Priority Data Channel Allocation - High Priority Data Channel Allocation - Ultra High Priority This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for low priority QoS level. This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for medium priority QoS level. This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for high priority QoS level. This parameter allows to configure the percentage of frame space allocated for ultra high priority QoS level.

When set to 0 (default), the burst rate is unlimited. Max Burst Uplink Data Rate These parameters allow operators to specify the data rate at which a SM is allowed to transmit (until burst allocation limit is reached) before being recharged at the Sustained Uplink Data Rate with credits to transit more. When set to 0 (default), the burst rate is unlimited. Enable Broadcast /
Multicast Data Rate This parameter allows the operator to specify if Broadcast and Multicast data is rate-limited. This data rate can be entered in Kbps or PPS (Packets Per Second). Broadcast / Multicast Data Rate This parameter allows the operator to specify a data rate at which Broadcast and Multicast traffic is sent via the radio link. Number of Data Channels This parameter allows the operator to specify the number of priority channels to be used for data transmission which is configurable from 1 to 4. 1: Select 1 to enable Low Priority channel. Page 1-256 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service 2: Select 2 to enable Low and High Priority channels. 3: Select 3 to enable Low, Medium, and High Priority channels. 4: Select 4 to enable all channels. For each enabled channel, configure the respective Downlink CIR and Uplink CIR. Low Priority Channel This parameter shows whether low priority data channel is enabled or not. Its value is derived based on the number of data channels selected. Low Priority Downlink CIR Low Priority Uplink CIR Medium Priority Channel Medium Priority Downlink CIR Medium Priority Uplink CIR This parameter is enabled by default. This field indicates the minimum rate at which low priority traffic is sent over the downlink (unless CIR is oversubscribed or RF link quality is degraded). Committed Information Rate (CIR) on page 1-237 Setting the Configuration Source on page 1-246 Note: CIR values are not applicable for proportional scheduler.

Committed Information Rate (CIR) on page 1-237 Setting the Configuration Source on page 1-246 Note: CIR values are not applicable for proportional scheduler. Ultra High Priority Channel This parameter allows the operator to enable or disable one of the data channels with the highest priority bandwidth. Downlink Plan This parameter allows the operator to configure the default downlink plan. The value range for this parameter is 1 310000 kbps. Uplink Plan Weight This parameter allows the operator to configure the default uplink plan. The value range for this parameter is 1 310000 kbps. This parameter ranges from 0.1 to 9.9 to prioritize SM services. This is a scaling factor to be applied to the Downlink and Uplink plan. Note: There is only one weight used for a plan in both directions. The default value for this parameter is 1.0. User Lock Modulation This parameter contains the following three modes. Disable: When disabled, the Proportional scheduler allocates resources to meet the configured plan. When there is congestion, the Proportional scheduler allocates a reduced value proportional to the other plans regardless of the modulation. If the modulation of one SM degrades, the resources allocated to meet this SMs plan increases, affecting the overall sector capacity. The reduced capacity is divided among all SMs proportional to their plans affecting all SMs. Enable: When enabled, the Locked Modulation drop-down list is enabled supporting values from 1x to 8x. Enable Below Threshold: When enabled, the Threshold Modulation drop-
down list is enabled supporting values from 2x to 8x. In this mode, the proportional scheduler behaves as per the Disabled mode until SMs modulation is above the configured Threshold Modulation. If the modulation goes below the Threshold Modulation, then proportional scheduler behaves as per the Enabled mode using the Threshold Modulation as Locked Modulation. Using Locked Modulation, the proportional scheduler guarantees an amount of resources required to transfer data corresponding to the configured plan. If the SMs modulation decreases, the resource allocation is not changed but the SMs throughput is reduced which is no longer proportional to the configured plan. Therefore, the SMs plan is scaled down proportional to the reduced modulation resulting in not affecting other SMs throughput based on one SMs modulation degrading. Page 1-258 Locked Modulation Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Threshold Modulation Using Threshold Modulation, if one SMs modulation degrades, then all other SMs throughputs are affected as long as the degraded modulation is above the threshold. Once the modulation goes below the threshold, the reaources are no longer increased for that SM, effectively capping the effect to other SMs. Priority Precedence Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. PPPoE Control Message Priority Prioritize TCP ACK Operators may configure the SM to utilize the high priority channel for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the SM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the SM. To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements. This parameter, when enabled, can be particularly useful when running bi-direction FTP sessions over the link. If a link is primarily used for video surveillance, it is recommended to configure this parameter to Disabled. Prioritization Group This parameter allows to configure the SM with high or low prioritization. Quality of Service (QoS) page of BHM The QoS page of BHM is explained in Table 86. Table 86 QoS page attributes - BHM Attribute Meaning PPPoE Control Message Priority Operators may configure the BHM to utilize the high priority channel for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the BHM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the BHS. Page 1-259 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring quality of service Prioritize TCP ACK To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements. This parameter, when enabled, can be particularly useful when running bi-direction FTP sessions over the link. If a link is primarily used for video surveillance, it is recommended to configure this parameter to Disabled. Quality of Service (QoS) page of BHS The QoS page of BHS is explained in Table 87. Table 87 QoS page attributes - BHS Attribute Meaning PPPoE Control Message Priority Prioritize TCP ACK Operators may configure the BHS to utilize the high priority channel for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the BHS in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the BHS. To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements.

If a link is primarily used for video surveillance, it is recommended to configure this parameter to Disabled. Page 1-260 Chapter 1: Configuration Installation Color Code Installation Color Code With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If an SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using the Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Figure 42 Installation Color Code of AP Page 1-261 Chapter 1: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 This feature allows an SM to get its configuration via DHCP option 66. This can be used for the initial configuration of an SM as well as managing the configuration of SMs on an ongoing basis. Here is how it works in brief:
When the SM boots up, if it is set to use DHCP client, it will send out a DHCP Discover packet which includes a request for DHCP Option 66. In case of a brand new SM out of the box, the DHCP Discover packet is sent out if the SM connects to an AP using Installation Color Code (ICC), even though DHCP client is not enabled in factory default config. An appropriately configured DHCP server will respond with a DHCP Offer and include a URL in response to the Option 66 request. The URL should point to the configuration file. The device will download the configuration file and apply it. The device will reboot automatically if needed. (Note: this requires rebootIfRequired flag to be added to the config file. See Creating a Golden config file on page 1-263. Configuration Steps Procedure 15 Zero Touch Configuration steps 1 Create the golden config file(s) 2 Host it on an TFTP/FTP/HTTP/HTTPS server 3 Configure the DHCP server to return the URL of the golden config file in option 66 When the SM boots up, it will get the URL for the golden config from the DHCP server via option 66, download it and apply it. If all the SMs are configured exactly the same, then you can create just new golden config file that can be used with all SMs. If the SMs are not configured the same, see if it is possible to group the SMs such that SMs with the same configuration are served by the same DHCP pool. User can then create multiple golden config files and configure the DHCP server to use the appropriate config file for each pool. User can also create one config file per SM. This provides the most flexibility, but is practical only if you have a software tool/script to generate the config files for each MAC address. The files should be named <mac>.cfg where <mac> is the MAC address of the SM, and stored in the same directory on the file server. The DHCP server should be configured to return the directory name ending with a / in option 66. The SM will automatically add <mac>.cfg to the path and get its config file. If some configuration is unique per SM, but rest of the configuration is common, the SMs can be staged with the unique part, and use option 66 to manage the common part. For example, if each SM needs to have its coordinates set, dont include the coordinates in the golden config file. Instead, configure the coordinates for each SM manually. Manage the rest of the configuration using DHCP option 66. Page 1-262 Chapter 1: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Creating a Golden config file The easiest way to create the golden config file is to configure an SM, export its configuration and edit it. To export the configuration file from the GUI of the SM, go to Configuration > Unit Settings tab, go to the Download Configuration File section and click on the <mac>.cfg link. This will give you a text file in JSON format. You can edit this file in a text editor but its easier to use a JSON editor like https://www.jsoneditoronline.org/. Strip down the config file to remove sections and entries that dont care about, and keep only the items that require changes. If there are many required changes, it can easily get confusing. To identify the exact items changes, first reset the SM to factory default, export the config file, make the necessary changes, export a second config file, then use a tool like WinMerge (http://winmerge.org/) to identify the differences. The config file contains the following informational entries at the top level. cfgUtcTimestamp: cfgUtcTimestamp, swVersion: CANOPY 15.1 SM-AES, cfgFileString: Canopy configuration file, srcMacAddress: 0a-00-3e-a2-c2-74, deviceType: 5.4/5.7GHz MIMO OFDM - Subscriber Module, cfgFileVersion: 1.0 The cfgUtcTimestamp, swVersion, srcMacAddress and deviceType lines can be deleted. Do not delete the cfgFileString and cfgFileVersion entries. Next, create an object named configFileParameters at the top level. Under that, add a parameter called rebootIfRequired and set it to true. This tells the SM to reboot automatically if a reboot is needed to apply the new configuration. A sample configuration file that has been edited for use via DHCP option 66 is given below.
{
userParameters: {
smNetworkConfig: {
networkAccess: 1
}, location: {

}
]
}, networkConfig: {
lanDhcpState: 1
}
}, cfgFileVersion: 1.0, cfgFileString: Canopy configuration file, configFileParameters: {
rebootIfRequired: true
}
}
When configuration is imported, only the items that exist in the configuration file are modified. Parameters that are not in the imported file are not changed. If user wish to revert those settings to their factory default values, please add a setToDefaults item under configFileParameters section with a value of true. cfgFileVersion: 1.0, cfgFileString: Canopy configuration file, configFileParameters: {
rebootIfRequired: true, setToDefaults: true
}
In case, the SM needs to fetch the configuration file on each boot up even when not connecting to AP via ICC, set Network Accessibility to Public and DHCP State to Enabled in the Configuration >
IP page before exporting the configuration. Hosting the config file Copy the golden configuration file to an FTP, TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS server. This location can be password protected; you just have to include the user name and password in the URL. DHCP server configuration Configure DHCP server to return the full URL to the golden config file as the value of DHCP option 66. The following example explains how to make the change for Windows Server 2008. Adapt it to your specific DHCP server. Procedure 16 DHCP server configuration 1 Click Start > Administrative Tools > DHCP Page 1-264 Chapter 1: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 2 If you have multiple Scopes defined, identify the correct Scope that will serve IP addresses for the SMs 3 Right click on Scope Option under the correct Scope and select Configure Options Page 1-265 Chapter 1: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 4 In the Scope Options dialog, scroll down to 066 Boot Server Host Name, select the checkbox and enter the full URL to the golden config file as the String value. Then click OK. 5 In the DHCP snap-in window, right click and Refresh to see the DHCP option 66 in the list of DHCP options Supported URL Formats ftp://10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg ftp://admin:admin123@10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg (login as admin with password admin123) tftp://10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg FTP, TFTP, HTTP and HTTPS URLs are supported. Some examples are given below. http://10.120.163.253/golden-config.cfg https://10.120.163.253/smconfig/golden-config.cfg User can also specify the URL pointing to a directory and not a specific file. Terminate the URL with a /
to indicate that it is a directory and not a file. Use this format when each SM has its own individual config file. The directory should contain files named <mac>.cfg, one for each SM. For example:
ftp://10.120.163.253/smconfig/
Page 1-266 Chapter 1: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 In this case, the SM will append <mac>.cfg to the path and try to get that file. For example, if the SMs MAC address is 0a-00-3e-a2-c2-74, it will request for ftp://10.120.163.253/smconfig/0a003ea2c274.cfg. This mechanism can be used to serve individual config file for each SM. Troubleshooting 1 Ensure that the___14 SM is running 13.3 or newer version of software. 2 3 If the SM has factory default config, confirm ICC is enabled on the AP, so the SM can connect to it. If the SM is connecting to the AP using a color code other than ICC, make sure the SM has Network Accessibility set to Public and DHCP State set to Enabled in the Configuration > IP page. 4 Make sure the golden config file does not turn off Network Accessibility or DHCP State. If it does, the SM will no longer request the config file when it is rebooted. 5 Check the event log of the SM to see the status of the configuration file import including any errors that prevented it from importing the file. 6 Capture the DHCP Offer packet from the DHCP server to the SM and verify that Option 66 has the expected URL. Page 1-267 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring Radio via config file Configuring Radio via config file The 450 Platform Family supports export and import of a configuration file from the AP or SM as a text file. The configuration file is in JSON format. To export or import the configuration file, the logged in user needs to be an ADMINISTRATOR and it must not be a read-only account. The exported configuration file contains the complete configuration including all the default values. To keep a backup of the current configuration, the file can be saved as-is and imported later. While importing a configuration file, it can be either imported the full configuration or a sparse configuration containing only the items that need to be changed. If a sparse configuration file is imported, only the items in the file will be imported. Other configuration will remain unchanged. There could also be used a special flag in the configuration file to tell the device to apply the configuration starting from factory default (Refer Special Headers for configuration file on page 1-269). Import and Export of config file The config file import and export is supported in Configuration > Unit Settings page. The procedure for importing and exporting config file is explained below. Figure 43 Configuration File upload and download page The DHCP server configuration procedure is as follows:
Procedure 17 DHCP server configuration 1 Login to the GUI and go to Configuration > Unit Settings. 2 Under Download Configuration File tab, click on the <mac>.cfg link, where <mac> is the MAC address of the device (for example, 01003ea2c274.cfg). 3 Save the file to the local disk. The below procedure is to be followed for Importing a config file Procedure 18 Import the configuration from the GUI 1 Login to the GUI and go to Configuration Unit Settings. Page 1-268 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring Radio via config file 2 Click on Browse button under Upload and Apply Configuration File tab and select the configuration file from disk. 3 Click Upload followed by Apply Configuration File button click. 4 The Status of Configuration File section will show the results of the upload. 5 Review it to make sure there are no errors. Then click on Reboot to reboot with the imported configuration The special headers for config file is explained below:
Procedure 19 Special Headers for configuration file 1 A configFileParameters section can be added to the header to control the behavior of the device when importing configuration. 2 The setToDefaults when set to true tell the device to reset to factory default configuration and apply the configuration in the file on top of that. So any attribute not in the configuration file will be set to its factory default value. By default, the configuration in the file is merged with the existing configuration on the device. The rebootIfRequired flag when set to true tell the device to reboot automatically if needed to apply the configuration change. By default, the device will not reboot automatically.

1. Static cnMaestro URL 2. Zero Touch token (on boarding of PMP SMs when the corresponding AP is on boarded) 3. DHCP Option 43 4. DHCP Option 15 5. https://cloud.cambiumnetworks.com Device Agent Logs For debugging any onboarding issues please check the device agent logs by navigating to Logs->Device Agent Logs on the PMP device GUI as shown in Figure 46. In addition, a tech support dump can for the PMP device can be obtained from cnMaestro by navigating to Page 1-272 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring cnMaestroTM Connectivity Monitor->Tools menu after selecting the particular PMP device in the tree and clicking the tech support file icon. This can be send to Cambium support for further troubleshooting. Figure 46 Device Agent Logs Monitoring Tools for PMP Devices on cnMaestro cnMaestro as of this release offers several debugging tools for PMP devices. Some examples are:

Troubleshooting-Device-or/m-p/54503#U54503 Zero Touch on boarding of the PMP SMs when the corresponding AP is on boarded First a link should be established between the PMP AP and SM either by configuring manually or using the ICC. Once the AP and SM link is established, the AP must be onboarded to cnMaestro using one of several ways detailed above under the Onboarding section. Once the AP is onboarded to cnMaestro Cloud or On premises cnMaestroserver, the SMs under the AP will automatically onboard to cnMaestro using a Zero touch token that is communicated between the AP and SMs. This is applicable to existing SMs registered to the AP as well as new SMs registering to the AP for the first time. The SMs appear on the onboarding queue of cnMaestro and the operator must Approve the devices in order to manage them. The following operations for PMP Devices are available on cnMaestro:
Monitor the device details in the Dashboard page by navigating to the Monitor >Dashboard menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Monitor notifications related to the PMP AP/SM by navigating to the Monitor >Notifications Menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Monitor device statistics on the statistics page by navigating to the Monitor >Statistics menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree, then selecting the PMP AP or PMP SM in the Device type dropdown. Monitor Performance graphs related to the PMP AP/SM by navigating to the Monitor >Performance menu and selecting the required performance graph (i.e Throughput, SMs, Modulation) and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Troubleshoot the device on the Troubleshooting page by navigating to the Monitor >Tools menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Configure the devices by navigating to the Configure >Devices menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree and selecting the config template that needs to be pushed to the device. Configuration templates need to be created before the configuration can be pushed to the device. The template can be created by copying the existing configuration from the view device configuration link provided in the same page and then modifying the template as needed and then pushing to the same device or other similar devices. Template needs to be properly reviewed for IP Address and other critical parameters to avoid stranding SMs (resulting in a truck roll) by pushing an incorrect configuration. Configuration templates can be created by navigating to the Configure->Templates page and selecting the PMP device type while creating the template. Once on 14.2.1, PMP devices can be upgraded to future supported versions from cnMaestro by navigating to the Operate > Software Update page and selecting the PMP Sectors option from the device type drop-down and the version to which the device needs to be upgraded. It is recommended to upgrade the AP first, then the SMs. PMP Device Inventory details can be reviewed by navigating to the Monitor >Inventory page. Page 1-274 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server in a PMP 450 Platform network is optional, but can provide added security, increase ease of network management and provide usage-based billing data. Understanding RADIUS for PMP 450 Platform Family PMP 450 Platform modules include support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol supporting Authentication and Accounting. RADIUS Functions RADIUS protocol support provides the following functions:
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. SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), CIR
(Committed Information Rate), Medium Priority, High Priority, and Ultra High Priority Data channels, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP. User Authentication allows users to configure a separate User authentication server along with the SM authentication server. If firmware is upgraded while using this functionality and no User authentication servers are configured, then AP continues to use the SM authentication server for User authentication SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. Centralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Networks Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account. Framed IP allows operators to use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules (framed IP address). Tested RADIUS Servers The Canopy RADIUS implementation has been tested and is supported on FreeRADIUS, Version 2.1.8 Aradial RADIUS, Version 5.1.12 Microsoft RADIUS (Windows Server 2012 R2 version) Cisco ACS, Version 5.7.0.15 Page 1-275 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Aradial 5.3 has a bug that prevents remote device login, so doesnt support the user name and password management feature. Choosing Authentication Mode and Configuring for Authentication Servers - AP On the APs Configuration > Security tab, select the RADIUS AAA Authentication Mode. The following describes the other Authentication Mode options for reference, and then the RADIUS AAA option. Disabled: Requires no authentication. Any SM (except a SM that itself has been configured to require RADIUS authentication by enabling Enforce Authentication as described below) is allowed to register to the AP. Authentication Server: Authentication Server in this instance refers to Wireless Manager in BAM-
only mode. Authentication is required for a SM to register to the AP. Only SMs listed by MAC address in the Wireless Manager database is allowed to register to the AP. AP Pre-Shared Key: Canopy offers a pre-shared key authentication option. In this case, an identical key must be entered in the Authentication Key field on the APs Configuration > Security tab and in the Authentication Key field on each desired SMs Configuration > Security tab. RADIUS AAA: To support RADIUS authentication of SMs, on the APs Configuration > Security tab select RADIUS AAA. Only properly configured SMs with a valid certificate is allowed to register to the AP. When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. The default IP address is 0.0.0.0. The default Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret can be up to 32 ASCII characters (no diacritical marks or ligatures, for example). Page 1-276 Chapter 1: Configuration Table 89 Security tab attributes Configuring a RADIUS server Page 1-277 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Attribute Meaning Authentication Mode Operators may use this field to select the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate. Authentication Server the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration. AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its SMs and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none of the SMs is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network and does not progress trying the other servers. The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the authentication server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. Enter the IP address or server name of the authentication server (RADIUS or WM) and the Shared Secret configured in the authentication server. When Authentication Mode RADIUS AAA is selected, the default value of Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret may consist of up to 32 ASCII characters. This field allows the operator to configure a custom port for RADIUS server communication. The default value is 1812. The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP Pre-Shared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Page 1-278 Authentication Server DNS Usage Authentication Server 1 Authentication Server 2 Authentication Server 3 Authentication Server 4 (BAM Only) Authentication Server 5 (BAM Only) Radius Port Authentication Key Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Selection Key This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication Encryption Key Specify the type of airlink security to apply to this AP. The encryption setting must match the encryption setting of the SMs. None provides no encryption on the air link. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. You can use this field to suppress the display of data about this AP on the AP Evaluation tab of the Tools page in all SMs that register. Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet, or ftp access to the AP. You can permit access to the AP from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the AP from any IP address. You may populate as many as all three. SM Display of AP Evaluation Data Web, Telnet, FTP Session Timeout IP Access Control Allowed Source IP 1 Allowed Source IP 2 Allowed Source IP 3 If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted. Web Access SNMP The Radio supports secured and non-secured web access protocols. Select suitable web access from drop-down list:
HTTP Only provides non-secured web access. The radio to be accessed via http://<IP of Radio>. HTTPS Only provides a secured web access. The radio to be accessed via https://<IP of Radio>. HTTP and HTTPS If enabled, the radio can be accessed via both http and https. This option allows to configure SNMP agent communication version. It can be selected from drop-down list :
SNMPv2c Only Enables SNMP v2 community protocol. SNMPv3 Only Enables SNMP v3 protocol. It is secured communication protocol. Page 1-279 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Telnet FTP TFTP SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 It enables both the protocols. This option allows to Enable and Disable Telnet access to the Radio. This option allows to Enable and Disable FTP access to the Radio. This option allows to Enable and Disable TFTP access to the Radio. NTP server This option allows to Enable and Disable NTP server access to the Radio. SM Authentication Mode Require RADIUS or Follow AP If it is desired that a SM will only authenticate to an AP that is using RADIUS, on the SMs Configuration Security tab set Enforce Authentication to AAA. With this enabled, SM does not register to an AP that has any Authentication Mode other than RADIUS AAA selected. If it is desired that a SM use the authentication method configured on the AP it is registering to, set Enforce Authentication to Disabled. With Enforce Authentication disabled, a SM will attempt to register using whichever Authentication Mode is configured on the AP it is attempting to register to. Page 1-280 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Having SMs to use RADIUS by enabling Enforce Authentication avoids the security issue of SMs possibly registering to rogue APs, which have authentication disabled. Table 90 SM Security tab attributes Page 1-281 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Attribute Meaning Authentication Key Select Key Enforce Authentication Phase 1 Phase 2 The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP PreShared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication The SM may enforce authentication types of AAA and AP Pre-sharedKey. The SM will not finish the registration process if the AP is not using the configured authentication method (and the SM locks out the AP for 15 minutes). Enforce Authentication default setting is Disable. The protocols supported for the Phase 1 (Outside Identity) phase of authentication are EAPTTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Tunneled Transport Layer Security) or MSCHAPv2 (Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2). Select the desired Phase 2 (Inside Identity) authentication protocol from the Phase 2 options of PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), and MSCHAP (Microsofts version of CHAP, version 2 is used). The protocol must be consistent with the authentication protocol configured on the RADIUS server. Page 1-282 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Identity/Realm Username Password Confirm Password Upload Certificate File Encryption Setting If Realms are being used, select Enable Realm and configure an outer identity in the Identity field and a Realm in the Realm field. These must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity and Realm configured in the RADIUS server. The default Identity is anonymous. The Identity can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. The default Realm is canopy.net. The Realm can also be up to 128 non-special alphanumeric characters. Configure an outer Identity in the Username field. This must match the Phase 1/Outer Identity username configured in the RADIUS server. The default Phase 1/Outer Identity Username is anonymous. The Username can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. Enter a Username for the SM. This must match the username configured for the SM on the RADIUS server. The default Username is the SMs MAC address. The Username can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. Enter the desired password for the SM in the Password and Confirm Password fields. The Password must match the password configured for the SM on the RADIUS server. The default Password is password. The Password can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. To upload a certificate manually to a SM, first load it in a known place on your PC or network drive, then click on a Delete button on one of the Certificate description blocks to delete a certificate to provide space for your certificate. Click on Choose File, browse to the location of the certificate, and click the Import Certificate button, and then reboot the radio to use the new certificate. When a certificate is in use, after the SM successfully registers to an AP, an indication of In Use will appear in the description block of the certificate being used. The public certificates installed on the SMs are used with the private certificate on the RADIUS server to provide a public/private key encryption system. Up to 2 certificates can be resident on a SM. An installed certificate can be deleted by clicking the Delete button in the certificates description block on the Configuration > Security tab. To restore the 2 default certificates, click the Use Default Certificates button in the RADIUS Certificate Settings parameter block and reboot the radio.

Page 1-283 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Web, Telnet, FTP Session Timeout Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, telnet or ftp access to the AP. If you want to prevent any device that is connected to the Ethernet port of the SM from accessing the management interface of the SM, select Ethernet Access Disabled. This selection disables access through this port to via HTTP (the GUI), SNMP, telnet, FTP, and TFTP. With this selection, management access is available through only the RF interface via either an IP address (if Network Accessibility is set to Public on the SM) or the Session Status or Remote Subscribers tab of the AP. See IP Access Control below. If you want to allow management access through the Ethernet port, select Ethernet Access Enabled. This is the factory default setting for this parameter. You can permit access to the AP from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the AP from any IP address. You may populate as many as all three. If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted.

Enter the desired password for the SM in the Password and Confirm Password fields. The Password must match the password configured for the SM on the RADIUS server. The default Password is password. The Password can be up to 128 non-special (no diacritical markings) alphanumeric characters. Handling Certificates Managing SM Certificates via the SM GUI The default public Canopy certificates are loaded into SMs upon factory software installation. The default certificates are not secure and are intended for use during lab and field trials as part of gaining experience with the RADIUS functionalities or as an option during debug. For secure operation, an operator will want to create or procure their own certificates. Resetting a SM to its factory defaults will remove the current certificates and restore the default certificates. Up to two certificates can be resident on a SM. An installed certificate can be deleted by clicking the Delete button in the certificates description block on the Configuration > Security tab. To restore the 2 default certificates, click the Use Default Certificates button in the RADIUS Certificate Settings parameter block and reboot the radio. To upload a certificate manually to a SM, first load it in a known place on your PC or network drive, then click on a Delete button on one of the Certificate description blocks to delete a certificate to provide space for your certificate. Click on Choose File, browse to the location of the certificate, and click the Import Certificate button, and then reboot the radio to use the new certificate. Page 1-285 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server When a certificate is in use, after the SM successfully registers to an AP, an indication of In Use will appear in the description block of the certificate being used. The public certificates installed on the SMs are used with the private certificate on the RADIUS server to provide a public/private key encryption system. Note Root certificates of more than one level (Example - a certificate from someone who received their CA from Verisign) fails. Certificates must be either root or self-signed. Figure 48 SM Certificate Management Configuring RADIUS servers for SM authentication Your RADIUS server must be configured to use the following:
EAPTTLS or MSCHAPv2 as the Phase 1/Outer Identity protocol. Page 1-286 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server If Enable Realm is selected on the SMs Configuration > Security tab, then the same Realm appears there (or access to it). The same Phase 2 (Inner Identity) protocol as configured on the SMs Configuration > Security tab under Phase 2 options. The username and password for each SM configured on each SMs Configuration > Security tab. An IP address and NAS shared secret that is the same as the IP address and Shared Secret configured on the APs Configuration > Security tab for that RADIUS server. A server private certificate, server key, and CA certificate that complement the public certificates distributed to the SMs, as well as the Canopy dictionary file that defines Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAa). Default certificate files and the dictionary file are available from the software site: https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 after entering your name, email address, and either Customer Contract Number or the MAC address of a module covered under the 12 month warranty. Optionally, operators may configure the RADIUS server response messages (Accept or Reject) so that the user has information as to why they have been rejected. The AP displays the RADIUS Authentication Reply message strings in the Session Status list as part of each SMs information. The SM will show this string (listed as Authentication Response on the SM GUI) on the main Status page in the Subscriber Module Stats section. Note Aradial AAA servers only support operator-configurable Authentication Accept responses, not Authentication Reject responses. Page 1-287 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Assigning SM management IP addressing via RADIUS Operators may use a RADIUS AAA server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules (framed IP address). SMs now interpret attributes Framed-IP-Address, Framed-IP-Netmask, and Cambium-
Canopy-Gateway from RADIUS. The RADIUS dictionary file has been updated to include the Cambium-
Canopy-Gateway attribute and is available on the Cambium Software Support website. In order for these attributes to be assigned and used by the SM, the following must be true:
The system is configured for AAA authentication The SM is not configured for DHCP on its management interface. If DHCP is enabled and these attributes are configured in the RADIUS server, the attributes is ignored by the SM. The SM management interface must be configured to be publically accessible. If the SM is configured to have local accessibility, the management interface will still be assigned the framed addressing, and the SM iscome publicly accessible via the assigned framed IP addressing. When using these attributes, for the addressing to be implemented by the SM operators must configure Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS. If Framed-IP-Address is not configured but Framed-IP-
Netmask and/or Cambium-Canopy-Gateway is configured, the attributes is ignored. In the case where only the Framed-IP-Address is configured, Framed-IP-Netmask defaults to 255.255.0.0 (NAT disabled) / 255.255.255.0 (NAT enabled) and Cambium-Canopy-Gateway defaults to 0.0.0.0. Configuring RADIUS server for SM configuration Canopy Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) along with VSA numbers and other details are listed in Table 91. The associated SM GUI page, tab and parameter are listed to aid cross-referencing and understanding of the VSAs. A RADIUS dictionary file is available from the software site:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 The RADIUS dictionary file defines the VSAs and their values and is usually imported into the RADIUS server as part of server and database setup. Page 1-288 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Beginning with System Release 12.0.2, two RADIUS dictionary files are available on the Cambium website RADIUS Dictionary file Cambium and RADIUS Dictionary file Motorola. In addition to a renaming of attributes, the Cambium-branded dictionary file contains two new VSAs for controlling uplink and downlink Maximum Burst Data Rate (these VSAs are listed below in Table 91). If you are transitioning from the Motorola-branded dictionary file to the Cambium-branded dictionary file, ensure that all RADIUS profiles containing Motorola-Canopy attribute references are updated to include Cambium-Canopy attribute references (for all applicable VSAs listed in Table 91). Also, ensure that all RADIUS configuration files reference the new dictionary file (as an alternative, operators may rename the Cambium-branded dictionary file to the filename currently in use by the RADIUS server). Once the profiles are updated and the new Cambium-branded dictionary file is installed on the RADIUS server, restart the RADIUS server to ensure that the new VSAs and attribute names are enabled.

User administration and authentication separation On the AP, it is possible to configure up to three User Authentication servers, along with their Shared Secret. If none of the User Authentication servers are configured, the AP continues to use SM Authorization servers for User Authentication. If at least one of the IP addresses is configured, all Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting requests now follow the newly configured User Authorization server.

The data accounting configuration is located on the APs Accounts > User Authentication and Access Tracking GUI menu, and the APs Authentication Mode must be set to Radius AAA for the menu to appear. The accounting may be configured via the AP GUI as shown in the figures below. By default accounting messages are not sent and the operator has the choice of configuring to send only Device Access accounting messages (when a user logs in or out of the radio), only Data Usage messages, or both. When Data Accounting is enabled, the operator must specify the interval of when the data accounting messages are sent (0 disabled, or in the range of 30-10080 minutes). The default interval is 30 minutes. Figure 50 RADIUS accounting messages configuration The data accounting message data is based on the SM statistics that the AP maintains, and these statistics may be cleared on the AP by an operator. If an operator clears these messages and data accounting is enabled, an accounting stop message is sent followed by an accounting start message to notify the AAA of the change. If an operator clears the VC statistics on the device through the management GUI, a RADIUS stop message and data start message is issued for each device affected. The start and stop messages will only be sent once every 5 minutes, so if an operator clears these statistics multiple times within 5 minutes, only one set of data stop/start messages is sent. This may result in inaccurate data accumulation results. RADIUS Device Re-authentication PMP 450 Platform systems include support for periodic SM re-authentication in a network without requiring the SM to re-register (and drop the session). The re-authentication may be configured to occur in the range of every 30 minutes to weekly. Page 1-300 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Figure 51 Device re-authentication configuration The re-authentication interval is only configurable on the AP. When this feature is enabled, each SM that enters the network will re-authenticate each the interval time has expired without dropping the session. The response that the SM receives from the AAA server upon re-authentication is one of the following:
Success: The SM continues normal operation Reject: The SM de-registers and will attempt network entry again after 1 minute and then if rejected will attempt re-entry every 15 minutes Timeout or other error: The SM remains in session and attempt 5 times to re-authenticate with the RADIUS-REQUEST message. If these attempts fail, then the SM will go out of session and proceed to re-authenticate after 5 minutes, then every 15 minutes. Although re-authentication is an independent feature, it was designed to work alongside with the RADIUS data usage accounting messages. If a user is over their data usage limit the network operator can reject the user from staying in the network. Operators may configure the RADIUS Reply-Message attribute with an applicable message (i.e. Data Usage Limit Reached) that is sent to the subscriber module and displayed on the general page. Page 1-301 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server RADIUS Change of Authorization and Disconnect Message Prior to this feature, SM will get configuration parameters from a RADIUS server during authentication process. This feature allows an administrator to control configuration parameters in the SM while SM is in session. The configuration changes in SM are done using RADIUS Change of Authorization method (RFC 3576) on the existing RADIUS authentication framework for AP and SM. A typical use case could be changing the QOS parameters after a certain amount of bandwidth usage by a SM. Figure 52 RADIUS CoA configuration for AP The RADIUS CoA feature enables initiating a bi-directional communication from the RADIUS server(s) to the AP and SM. The AP listens on UDP port 3799 and accepts CoA requests from the configured RADIUS servers. This CoA request should contain SM MAC address in User-Name attribute as identifier and all other attributes which control the SM config parameters. For security reasons, a timestamp also needs to be added as Event-Timestamp attribute. Hence the time should also be synchronized between the RADIUS server(s) and the AP to fit within a window of 300 seconds. Once the configuration changes are applied on the SM, CoA-ACK message is sent back to RADIUS server. If the validation fails, the AP sends a CoA-NACK response to the RADIUS server with proper error code. A Disconnect-Message is sent by the RADIUS server to NAS in order to terminate a user session on a NAS and discard all associated session context. It is used when the authentication AAA server wants to disconnect the user after the session has been accepted by the RADIUS. In response of Disconnect-Request from RADIUS server, the NAS sends a Disconnect-ACK if all associated session context is discarded, or a Disconnect-NACK, if the NAS is unable to disconnect the session. Page 1-302 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note The RADIUS CoA feature will only enabled if Authentication mode is set to RADIUS AAA. Page 1-303 Chapter 1: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Microsoft RADIUS support This feature allows to configure Microsoft RADIUS (Network Policy and Access Services a.k.a NPS) as Authentication server for SM and User authentication. For SM Authentication, SM will user PEAP-MSCHAPv2 since NPS doesnt support TTLS protocol. For User Authentication, the Canopy software will use EAP-MD5 but the user has to do certain configuration in order to enable EAP-MD5 on NPS. Note All this configuration has been tested on Windows Server 2012 R2 version. This feature is not supported on hardware board type P9 or lower platforms. SM Authentication Configuration There are no new configurations on AP. However, SM has to be configured for PEAP authentication protocol. 1. 2. Go to Configuration > Security page Select eappeap for Phase 1 attribute under tab AAA Authentication Settings. Figure 53 EAPPEAP settings The Phase 2 will change automatically to MSCHAPv2 on select of Phase 1 attribute as EAP-
PEAP. Other parameters of Phase 2 protocols like PAP/CHAP will be disabled. Import Certificate 5. Windows Server Configuration The SM certificate has to be imported to Windows Server for certificate authentication. 1. Copy the certificate which is configured in SM under Configuration > Security ->
Certificate1 to Windows Server machine. Right click and select Install Certificate. This will install the certificate and its ready for use. This certificate will be used while configuring PEAP-MSCHAPv2 in NPS. 2.

The AP/BHM and SM/BHS perform spectrum analysis together in the Sector Spectrum Analyzer tool. Caution On start of the Spectrum Analyzer on a module, it enters a scan mode and drops any RF connection it may have had. When choosing Start Timed Spectrum Analysis, the scan is run for time specified in the Duration configuration parameter. When choosing Start Continuous Spectrum Analysis, the scan is run continuously for 24 hours, or until stopped manually (using the Stop Spectrum Analysis button). Any module can be used 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. Note 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. Mapping RF Neighbor Frequencies The neighbor frequencies can be analyzed using Spectrum Analyzer tool. Following modules allow user to:
Use a BHS or BHM for PTP and SM or AP for PMP as a Spectrum Analyzer. View a graphical display that shows power level in RSSI and dBm at 5 MHz increments throughout the frequency band range, regardless of limited selections in the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List parameter of the SM/BHS. Select an AP/BHM channel that minimizes interference from other RF equipment. Caution The following procedure causes the SM/BHS to drop any active RF link. If a link is dropped when the spectrum analysis begins, the link can be re-established when either a 15 minute interval has elapsed or the spectrum analyzer feature is disabled. Temporarily deploy a SM/BHS for each frequency band range that need to monitor and access the Spectrum Analyzer tab in the Tools web page of the module. Using Spectrum Analyzer tool Page 2-317 Chapter 2: Tools Using the Remote Spectrum Analyzer tool Spectrum Analyzer tool Analyzing the spectrum Using Spectrum Analyzer tool To use the built-in spectrum analyzer functionality of the AP/SM/BH, proceed as follows:

Set the duration of 10 to 1000 seconds, then click the Start Remote Spectrum Analysis button to launch the analysis from that SM/BHS. In PMP configuration, a SM must be selected from the drop-down list before launching Start Remote Spectrum Analysis. Analyzing the spectrum remotely Procedure 23 Remote Spectrum Analyzer procedure 1 2 3 4 The AP/BHM de-registers the target SM/BHS. The SM/BHS scans (for the duration set in the AP/BHM tool) to collect data for the bar graph. The SM/BHS re-registers to the AP/BHM. The AP/BHM displays the bar graph. The bar graph is an HTML file, but can be changed to an XML file, which is then easy to analyze using scripts that you may write for parsing the data. To transform the file to XML, click the SpectrumAnalysis.xml link below the spectrum results. Although the resulting display appears mostly unchanged, the bar graph is now coded in XML. You can now right-click on the bar graph for a Save Target As option to save the Spectrum Analysis.xml file. Remote Spectrum Analyzer page of AP The Remote Spectrum Analyzer page of AP is explained in Table 100. Page 2-328 Chapter 2: Tools Table 100 Remote Spectrum Analyzer attributes - AP Using Spectrum Analyzer tool Attribute Meaning Registered SM Count This field displays the number of SMs that were registered to the AP before the SA was started. This helps the user know all the SMs re-registered after performing a SA. Maximum Count of Registered SMs Current Subscriber Module Duration This field displays the largest number of SMs that have been simultaneously registered in the AP since it was last rebooted. This count can provide some insight into sector history and provide comparison between current and maximum SM counts at a glance. The SM with which the Link Capacity Test is run. This field allows operators to configure a specified time for which the spectrum is scanned. If the entire spectrum is scanned prior to the end of the configured duration, the analyzer will restart at the beginning of the spectrum. Scanning Bandwidth This parameter defines the size of the channel scanned when running the analyzer. Page 2-329 Chapter 2: Tools Using Spectrum Analyzer tool Remote Spectrum Analyzer page of BHM The Remote Spectrum Analyzer page of BHM is explained in Table 101. Table 101 Remote Spectrum Analyzer attributes - BHM Attribute Duration Meaning Refer Table 96 on page 2-320 Note To get best performance of the link, the user has to ensure the maximum Receive Power Level during alignment by pointing correctly. The proper alignment is important to prevent interference in other cells. The achieving Receive Power Level green (>- 70 dBm) is not sufficient for the link. Page 2-330

These procedures can be performed either on a newly installed link, or on an operational link if communication is lost, or after a lightning strike. The following topics are described in this chapter:
General troubleshooting procedure on page 5-2 Troubleshooting procedures on page 5-5 Power-up troubleshooting on page 5-13 Registration and connectivity troubleshooting on page 5-14 Logs on page 5-15 Page 5-1 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting General troubleshooting procedure General troubleshooting procedure General planning for troubleshooting Effective troubleshooting depends in part on measures that you take before you experience trouble in your network. Cambium recommends the following measures for each site:
Identify troubleshooting tools that are available at your site (such as a protocol analyzer). Identify commands and other sources that can capture baseline data for the site. These may include:
o Ping o Tracert or traceroute o Link Capacity Test results o Throughput data o Configuration tab captures o Status tab captures o Session logs o Web browser used Start a log for the site. Include the following information in the log:
o Operating procedures o Site-specific configuration records o Network topology o Software releases, boot versions and FPGA firmware versions o Types of hardware deployed o Site-specific troubleshooting processes o Escalation procedures Capture baseline data into the log from the sources listed above Page 5-2 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting General troubleshooting procedure General fault isolation process Effective troubleshooting also requires an effective fault isolation methodology that includes the following:
Attempting to isolate the problem to the level of a system, subsystem, or link, such as o AP to SM o AP to CMM4 o AP to GPS o Backhaul (BH) o Backhaul (BH) to CMM4 o Power Interpreting messages in the Event Log Researching Event Logs of the involved equipment Answering the questions listed in the following sections. Reversing the last previous corrective attempt before proceeding to the next. Performing only one corrective attempt at a time. Questions to help isolate the problem When a problem occurs, attempt to answer the following questions:
What is the history of the problem?
o Have we changed something recently?
o Have we seen other symptoms before this?
How wide-spread is the symptom?
o o Is the problem on only a single SM? (If so, focus on that SM.) Is the problem on multiple SMs? If so is the problem on one AP in the cluster? (If so, focus on that AP) is the problem on multiple, but not all, APs in the cluster? (If so, focus on those APs) is the problem on all APs in the cluster? (If so, focus on the CMM4 and the GPS signal.) Based on data in the Event Log o does the problem correlate to External Hard Resets with no WatchDog timers? (If so, this indicates a loss of power. Correct your power problem.) is intermittent connectivity indicated? (If so, verify your configuration, power level, cables and connections and the speed duplex of both ends of the link). o o does the problem correlate to loss-of-sync events?
Are connections made via shielded cables?
Does the GPS antenna have an unobstructed view of the entire horizon?
Has the site grounding been verified?
Page 5-3 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting General troubleshooting procedure Secondary Steps After preliminary fault isolation is completed through the above steps, follow these:
Check the Canopy knowledge base (http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/) to find whether other network operators have encountered a similar problem. Proceed to any appropriate set of diagnostic steps. These are organized as follows:

Procedure 29 Troubleshooting loss of connectivity 1 2 3 Isolate the end user/SM from peripheral equipment and variables such as routers, switches and firewalls. Set up the minimal amount of equipment. On each end of the link:
Check the cables and connections. Verify that the cable/connection schemestraight-through or crossoveris correct. Verify that the LED labeled LNK is green. Access the General Status tab in the Home page of the module. Verify that the SM is registered. Verify that Received Power Level is -87 dBm or higher. Access the IP tab in the Configuration page of the module. Verify that IP addresses match and are in the same subnet. If RADIUS authentication is configured, ensure that the RADIUS server is operational Page 5-5 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures 4 5 On the SM end of the link:
Verify that the PC that is connected to the SM is correctly configured to obtain an IP address through DHCP. Execute ipconfig (Windows) or ifconfig (linux) Verify that the PC has an assigned IP address. On each end of the link:
Access the General tab in the Configuration page of each module. Verify that the setting for Link Speeds (or negotiation) matches that of the other module. Access the Radio tab in the Configuration page of each module. Verify that the Radio Frequency Carrier setting is checked in the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List. Verify that the Color Code setting matches that of the other module. Access the browser LAN settings (for example, at Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings in Internet Explorer). Verify that none of the settings are selected. Access the Link Capacity Test tab in the Tools page of the module. Perform a link test Verify that the link test results show efficiency greater than 90% in both the uplink and downlink Execute ping. o Verify that no packet loss was experienced. o Verify that response times are not significantly greater than 4 ms from AP to SM 15 ms from SM to AP o Replace any cables that you suspect may be causing the problem. Note A ping size larger than 1494 Bytes to a module times out and fails. However, a ping of this size or larger to a system that is behind a Canopy module typically succeeds. It is generally advisable to ping such a system, since Canopy handles that ping with the same priority as is given all other transport traffic. The results are unaffected by ping size and by the load on the Canopy module that brokers this traffic. 6 After connectivity has been re-established, reinstall network elements and variables that you removed in Step 1. Page 5-6 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures NAT/DHCP-configured SM has lost or does not establish connectivity Before troubleshooting this problem, identify the NAT/DHCP configuration from the following list:
NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP Server NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) NAT with DHCP Server NAT without DHCP To troubleshoot a loss of connectivity for a SM configured for NAT/DHCP, perform the following steps. Procedure 30 Troubleshooting loss of connectivity for NAT/DHCP-configured SM 1 2 3 4 5 Isolate the end user/SM from peripheral equipment and variables such as routers, switches and firewalls. Set up the minimal amount of equipment. On each end of the link:
Check the cables and connections. Verify that the cable/connection schemestraight-through or crossoveris correct. Verify that the LED labeled LNK is green. At the SM:
Access the NAT Table tab in the Logs web page. Verify that the correct NAT translations are listed. RESULT: NAT is eliminated as a possible cause if these translations are correct. If this SM is configured for NAT with DHCP, then at the SM:
Execute ipconfig (Windows) or ifconfig (Linux) Verify that the PC has an assigned IP address. reboot the PC. If the PC does not have an assigned IP address, then o enter ipconfig /release Adapter Name. o enter ipconfig /renew Adapter Name. o o after the PC has completed rebooting, execute ipconfig o o access the NAT DHCP Statistics tab in the Statistics web page of the SM. o verify that DHCP is operating as configured. if the PC has an assigned IP address, then 6 After connectivity has been re-established, reinstall network elements and variables that you removed in Step 1. Page 5-7 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures SM Does Not Register to an AP To troubleshoot a SM failing to register to an AP, perform the following steps. Procedure 31 Troubleshooting SM failing to register to an AP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Access the Radio tab in the Configuration page of the SM. Note the Color Code of the SM. Access the Radio tab in the Configuration page of the AP. Verify that the Color Code of the AP matches that of the SM. Note the Radio Frequency Carrier of the AP. Verify that the value of the RF Frequency Carrier of the AP is selected in the Custom Radio Frequency Scan Selection List parameter in the SM. In the AP, verify that the Max Range parameter is set to a distance slightly greater than the distance between the AP and the furthest SM that must register to this AP. Verify that no obstruction significantly penetrates the Fresnel zone of the attempted link. Access the General Status tab in the Home page of each module. Remove the bottom cover of the SM to expose the LEDs. Power cycle the SM. RESULT: Approximately 25 seconds after the power cycle, the green LED labeled LNK must light to indicate that the link has been established. If the orange LED labeled SYN is lit instead, then the SM is in Alignment mode because the SM failed to establish the link. If the AP is configured to require authentication, ensure proper configuration of RADIUS or Pre-shared AP key. In this latter case and if the SM has encountered no customer-inflicted damage, then request an RMA for the SM. Page 5-8 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Module has lost or does not gain sync To troubleshoot a loss of sync, perform the following steps. Procedure 32 Troubleshooting loss of sync 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Access the Event Log tab in the Home page of the SM Check for messages with the following format:
RcvFrmNum =
ExpFrmNum =
If these messages are present, check the Event Log tab of another SM that is registered to the same AP for messages of the same type. If the Event Log of this second SM does not contain these messages, then the fault is isolated to the first SM. If the Event Log page of this second SM contains these messages, access the GPS Status page of the AP. If the Satellites Tracked field in the GPS Status page of the AP indicates fewer than 4 or the Pulse Status field does not indicate Generating Sync, check the GPS Status page of another AP in the same AP cluster for these indicators. GPS signal acquisition must not take longer than 5 minutes from unit startup. If these indicators are present in the second AP, then:
Verify that the GPS antenna still has an unobstructed view of the entire horizon. Visually inspect the cable and connections between the GPS antenna and the CMM4. If this cable is not shielded, replace the cable with shielded cable If these indicators are not present in the second AP, visually inspect the cable and connections between the CMM4 and the AP antenna. If this cable is not shielded, replace the cable with shielded cable. Page 5-9 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Module does not establish Ethernet connectivity To troubleshoot a loss of Ethernet connectivity, perform the following steps:
Procedure 33 Troubleshooting loss of Ethernet connectivity 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Verify that the connector crimps on the Ethernet cable are not loose. Verify that the Ethernet cable is not damaged. If the Ethernet cable connects the module to a network interface card (NIC), verify that the cable is pinned out as a straight-through cable. If the Ethernet cable connects the module to a hub, switch, or router, verify that the cable is pinned out as a crossover cable. Verify that the Ethernet port to which the cable connects the module is set to auto-
negotiate speed. Verify VLAN configuration in the network, which may cause loss of module access if the accessing device is on a separate VLAN from the radio. Power cycle the module. RESULT: Approximately 25 seconds after the power cycle, the green LED labeled LNK must light up to indicate that the link has been established. If the orange LED labeled SYN is lit instead, then the module is in Alignment mode because the module failed to establish the link. In this latter case and if the module has encountered no customer-inflicted damage, then request an RMA for the module. Page 5-10 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures CMM4 does not pass proper GPS sync to connected modules If the Event Log tabs in all connected modules contain Loss of GPS Sync Pulse messages, perform the following steps. Procedure 34 Troubleshooting CMM4 not passing sync 1 2 3 4 Verify that the GPS antenna has an unobstructed view of the entire horizon. Verify that the GPS coaxial cable meets specifications. Verify that the GPS sync cable meets specifications for wiring and length. If the web pages of connected modules indicate any of the following, then find and eliminate the source of noise that is being coupled into the GPS sync cable:
incorrect reported Latitude and/or Longitude of the antenna In the GPS Status page:
o anomalous number of Satellites Tracked (greater than 12, for example) o In the Event Log page:
o garbled GPS messages o large number of Acquired GPS Sync Pulse messages GPS signal acquisition must not take longer than 5 minutes from unit startup. 5 If these efforts fail to resolve the problem, then request an RMA for the CMM4. Page 5-11 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures Module Software Cannot be Upgraded If your attempt to upgrade the software of a module fails, perform the following steps. Procedure 35 Troubleshooting an unsuccessful software upgrade 1 2 3 4 5 6 Download the latest issue of the target release and the associated release notes. Verify that the latest version of CNUT is installed. Compare the files used in the failed attempt to the newly downloaded software. Compare the procedure used in the failed attempt to the procedure in the newly downloaded release notes. If these comparisons reveal a difference, retry the upgrade, this time with the newer file or newer procedure. If, during attempts to upgrade the FPGA firmware, the following message is repeatable, then request an RMA for the module:
Error code 6, unrecognized device Module Functions Properly, Except Web Interface Became Inaccessible If a module continues to pass traffic and the SNMP interface to the module continues to function, but the web interface to the module does not display, perform the following steps:
Procedure 36 Restoring web management GUI access 1 2 3 4 5 Enter telnet DottedIPAddress. RESULT: A telnet session to the module is invoked. At the Login prompt, enter root. At the Password prompt, enter PasswordIfConfigured. At the Telnet +> prompt, enter reset. RESULT: The web interface is accessible again and this telnet connection is closed. Note The module may also be rebooted via an SNMP-based NMS (Wireless Manager, for example) If the issue persists, turn off any SNMP-based network/radio monitoring software and repeat steps 1-4.

http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/resource/pmp-450m/
A.2 450m overload The 450m Series AP is designed to handle high load in terms of high throughput and high PPS. In terms of throughput, 450m is designed to achieve 3x or more throughput improvement over 450 and 450i Series products. In terms of packets per second (PPS), 450m is designed to handle up to 100k PPS. Overload occurs when the offered load exceeds the above limits. When overload occurs, 450m will start discarding packets and TCP throughput will degrade due to packet loss. The 450 family of products have a set of overload statistics that can be used to monitor overload conditions (Statistics >Overload tab). The above statistics shall be monitored over time for overload conditions over consecutive periods. Refer to Interpreting Overload statistics for description of those statistics. Its worth noting that Frame Utilization statistics (Statistics >Frame Utilization tab: Frame Utilization:
Downlink and Uplink) are not necessarily indicative of overload condition. They show how much the TDD frame is utilized. High frame utilization depends on:
Page 1 Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Logs 1. high traffic during busy periods: those statistics will be close to 100% and almost all slots will be utilized. In this case if the Overload statistics show that packets are discarded then this is an indication of overload condition. 2. high percentage of VCs with low modulation with moderate traffic. Those VCs will require more slots to service them (due to low modulation) and the frame utilization will be high. In this case the TDD frame is fully utilized but the system is at low capacity and is not in an overload condition. 450m has higher PPS than 450 and 450i and supports higher throughput through spatial multiplexing, therefore when a 450m replaces an overloaded 450 or 450i AP the 450m will not be overloaded under the same conditions but the frame utilization may still show close to 100%; this should not alarm the customer. The overload statistics shall be monitored on 450m to see if it is overloaded or not.

The SM/BHS LEDs provide different status based on the mode of the SM/BHS. A SM/BHS in operating mode will register and pass traffic normally. A SM/BHS in aiming mode will not register or pass traffic, but will display (via LED panel) the strength of received radio signals (based on radio channel selected via Tools ->Aiming). See SM/BHS LEDs in Planning and Installation Guide. Note For accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. Refer SM/BHS LED description in Planning and Installation Guide for SM/BHS LED details.

Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Multipoint or Backhaul: this field indicates type of configuration - point-

Page 2-335 Chapter 2: Tools Alignment Tone Using the Alignment Tool For coarse alignment of the SM/BHS, use the Alignment Tool located at Tools -> Alignment Tool. Optionally, connect a headset alignment tone kit to the AUX/SYNC port of the SM/BHS and listen to the alignment tone, which indicates greater SM/BHS receive signal power by pitch. By adjusting the SMs/BHSs position until the highest frequency pitch is obtained operators and installers can be confident that the SM/BHS is properly positioned.

Page 2-337 Chapter 2: Tools Using the Link Capacity Test tool Using the Link Capacity Test tool The Link Capacity Test tab allows you to measure the throughput and efficiency of the RF link between two modules. Many factors, including packet length, affect throughput. The Link Capacity Test tool has following modes:
Link Test with Multiple VCs: Tests radio-to-radio communication across selected or all registered VCs, but does not bridge traffic (PMP 450m Series AP only). Link Test without Bridging: Tests radio-to-radio communication, but does not bridge traffic. Link Test with Bridging: Bridges traffic to simulated Ethernet ports, providing a status of the bridged link. Link Test with Bridging and MIR: Bridges the traffic during test and also adheres to any MIR
(Maximum Information Rate) settings for the link. Extrapolated Link Test: Estimates the link capacity by sending few packets and measuring link quality. The Link Capacity Test tab contains the settable parameter Packet Length with a range of 64 to 1714 bytes. This allows you to compare throughput levels that result from various packet sizes. The Current Results Status also displayed date and time of last performed Link Capacity Test. If there is any change in time zone, the date and time will be adjusted accordingly. Note The Extrapolated Link Test can be run by Read-Only login also. Performing Link Test The link test is a tool that allows the user to test the performance of the RF link. Packets are added to one or more queues in the AP in order to fill the frame. Throughput and efficiency are then calculated during the test. The 450 and 450i APs offer link test options to one SM at a time. The 450m AP offers the option of a link test to multiple VCs at the same time. This allows the user to test throughput in MU-
MIMO mode, in which multiple SMs are served at the same time. This new link test can be found under Tools > Link Capacity Test Page 2-338 Chapter 2: Tools Link Test with Multiple LUIDs Using the Link Capacity Test tool Note The Link Test with Multiple LUIDs Link Capacity Test is supported for PMP 450m Series AP only.

Figure 77 Link Test without Bridging (1518-byte packet length) Page 2-341 Chapter 2: Tools Performing Extrapolated Link Test Using the Link Capacity Test tool The Extrapolated Link Test estimates the link capacity by sending few packets and measuring link quality. Once the test is initiated, the radio starts session at the lower modulation, 1X, as traffic is passed successfully across the link, the radio decides to try the next modulation, 2X. This process repeats until it finds best throughput to estimate capacity of link. The procedure for performing Extrapolated Link Test is as follows:

Page 2-343 Chapter 2: Tools SM Link Test Mode Restriction Link Test with All Available Data Channels MU-MIMO Display results for untested Data Channels Ignore Configured CIR Using the Link Capacity Test tool Enable this parameter to restrict SM link test mode. This parameter is used to enable or disable usage of either all available data channels or low priority data channel only during the link test. This parameter determines whether the DL flood test packets use MU-MIMO grouping or not. Note: This field is applicable only when the Link Test Mode field is set to Link Test with Multiple VCs option. Note: This field is applicable for PMP 450m APs only. If Link test with multiple VCs is run and a subset of registered VCs enters into the VC List field, then enabling this field produces a table that displays results for VCs with traffic which are in session; but not tested as part of the link test. Note: This field is applicable for PMP 450m flood tests only. Enable this parameter to schedule flood data regardless of the CIR configuration for each SM. For system release 16.1 and beyond, the exact impact of this setting depends on which scheduler "mode" has been configured by the operator on the AP's QoS page. Enabled: Run Link Test with Multiple LUID's using Legacy scheduler, ignoring configured CIR's. Legacy scheduler is used here regardless of which scheduling mode has been configured. Disabled: If Legacy scheduler is enabled, test with legacy scheduler, using configured CIR's. If Proportional scheduler is enabled, test with proportional scheduler. Current Subscriber Module The SM with which the Link Capacity Test is run. This field is only applicable for AP (not SM page). LUID List Duration Direction This field is displayed for PMP 450m Series AP. It is only applicable for Link Test with Multiple LUIDs Test mode. Enter LUID List (e.g. 18 or above for low priority LUIDs and 255 or above for high priority LUIDs or 0 for all registered LUIDs) which needs to be used for link test traffic. This field allows operators to configure a specified time for which the spectrum is scanned. If the entire spectrum is scanned prior to the end of the configured duration, the analyzer will restart at the beginning of the spectrum. Configure the direction of the link test. Specify Downlink or Uplink to run the test only in the corresponding direction only. Specific Bi-Directional to run the test in both directions.

The AP Eval results can be accessed via SNMP and config file. AP Evaluation page The AP Evaluation page of AP is explained in Table 107. Table 107 AP Evaluation tab attributes - AP Page 2-347 Chapter 2: Tools Attribute Index Using AP Evaluation tool Meaning This field displays the index value that the system assigns (for only this page) to the AP where this SM is registered. Frequency This field displays the frequency that the AP transmits. Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the AP and the SM. Cyclic Prefix ESN OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-
pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefixes mean that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. The Cyclic Prefix 1/16 only can be selected at this time. This field displays the MAC address (electronic serial number) of the AP. For operator convenience during SM aiming, this tab retains each detected ESN for up to 15 minutes. If the broadcast frequency of a detected AP changes during a 15-minute interval in the aiming operation, then a multiple instance of the same ESN is possible in the list. Eventually, the earlier instance expires and disappears and the later instance remains to the end of its interval, but you can ignore the early instance(s) whenever two or more are present. Region Power Level This field displays the APs configured Country Code setting. This field displays the SMs combined received power level from the APs transmission. Beacon Count A count of the beacons seen in a given time period. FECEn Type Age This field contains the SNMP value from the AP that indicates whether the Forward Error Correction feature is enabled. 0: FEC is disabled 1: FEC is enabled Multipoint indicates that the listing is for an AP.

To derive the distance in meters, multiply the value of this parameter by 0.3048. MaxRange This field indicates the configured value for the APs Max Range parameter. TxBER Ebcast Session Count NoLUIDs OutOfRange AuthFail EncryptFail Rescan Req A 1 in this field indicates the AP is sending Radio BER. A 1 in this field indicates the AP or BHM is encrypting broadcast packets. A 0 indicates it is not. This field displays how many sessions the SM (or BHS) has had with the AP
(or BHM). Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. In the case of a multipoint link, if the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs, then this may indicate a link problem or an interference problem. This field indicates how many times the AP has needed to reject a registration request from a 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. This field indicates how many times the AP has rejected a registration request from a SM because the SM is a further distance away than the range that is currently configured in the AP. This then locks the SM out of making any valid attempt for the next 15 minutes. This field displays how many times authentication attempts from this SM have failed in the AP.

Page 2-355 Chapter 2: Tools Using the OFDM Frame Calculator tool Using the OFDM Frame Calculator tool The first step to avoid interference in wireless systems is to set all APs/BHMs to receive timing from a synchronization source (Cluster Management Module, or Universal Global Positioning System). This ensures that the modules are in sync and start transmitting at the same time each frame. The second step to avoid interference is to configure parameters on all APs/BHMs 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/BHM attempting to receive the signal from a distant SM/BHS while a nearby AP transmits, which could overpower that signal. The following parameters on the AP determine the transmit/receive ratio:
Max Range Frame Period Downlink Data percentage
(reserved) Contention Slots If OFDM (PMP 430, PMP 450, PTP 230) and FSK (PMP 1x0) APs/BHMs of the same frequency band are in proximity, or if APs/BHMs set to different parameters (differing in their Max Range values, for example), then operator must use the Frame Calculator to identify compatible settings. The frame calculator is available on the Frame Calculator tab of the Tools web page. To use the Frame Calculator, type various configurable parameter values into the calculator for each proximal AP and then record the resulting AP/BHM Receive Start value. Next vary the Downlink Data percentage in each calculation and iterate until the calculated AP/BHM Receive Start for all collocated AP/BHMs where the transmit end does not come before the receive start. The calculator does not use values in the module or populate its parameters. It is merely a convenience application that runs on a module. For this reason, you can use any FSK module (AP, SM, BHM, BHS) to perform FSK frame calculations for setting the parameters on an FSK AP and any OFDM module (AP, SM, BHM, BHS) to perform OFDM frame calculations for setting the parameters on an OFDM AP/BHM. For more information on PMP/PTP 450 Platform co-location, see https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/colocationtool/ The co-location is also supported for 900 MHz PMP 450i APs (OFDM) and PMP 100 APs (FSK). Please refer Co-location of PMP 450 and PMP 100 systems in the 900 MHz band and migration recommendations document for details. Caution APs/BHMs that have slightly mismatched transmit-to-receive ratios and low levels of data traffic may see little effect on throughput. A system that was not tuned for co-
location may work fine at low traffic levels, but encounter problems at higher traffic levels. The conservative practice is to tune for co-location before traffic ultimately increases. This prevents problems that occur as sectors are built. The OFDM Frame Calculator page is explained in Table 109.

Then, use the Frame Calculator tool procedure as described in Using the Frame Calculator on page 2-359, you will vary the value in this parameter to find the proper value to write into the Downlink Data parameter of all APs or BHMs in the cluster. PMP 450 Platform Family APs or BHMs offer a range of 15% to 85% and default to 75%. The value that you set in this parameter has the following interaction with the value of the Max Range parameter (above):
The default Max Range value is 5 miles and, at that distance, the maximum Downlink Data value (85% in PMP 450 Platform) is functional.

Link Tests initiated from the AP or BHM are not included in the Link Status table. This table is useful for monitoring link test results for all SMs or BHS in the system. The Link Status table is color coded to display health of link between AP/BHM and SM/BHS. The current Modulation Level Uplink/Downlink is chosen to determine link health and color coded accordingly. Uplink/Downlink Rate Column will be color coded using current Rate as per the table below:
Table 111 Color code versus uplink/downlink rate column Actual Rate 1x 2x 3x 4x SISO MIMO-A MIMO B RED RED NA ORANGE GREEN BLUE ORANGE GREEN BLUE 6x NA NA 8x NA NA RED NA ORANGE GREEN BLUE Page 2-361 Chapter 2: Tools Link Status AP/BHM Using the Link Status tool The current Uplink Rate for each SM or BHS in Session in now available on AP or BHM Link Status Page. From system release 15.2, a single Rate is used and shown for all data channels of an SM. The Link Status tool results include values for the following fields for AP/BHM. Table 112 Link Status page attributes AP/BHM Attribute Subscriber Meaning This field displays the MAC address and Site Name of the SM. Note The MAC is hot link to open the interface to the SM. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Site Name indicates the name of the SM. You can assign or change this name on the Configuration web page of the SM. This information is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server. LUID This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID) of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. If a SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHS and then regains registration, the SM/BHS will retain the same LUID. Note Both the LUID and the MAC are hot links to open the interface to the SM/BHS. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Downlink Statistics Beacon % Received Curr/Min/Max/Avg This field displays a count of beacons received by the SM in percentage. This value must be between 99-100%. If it is lower than 99%, it indicates a problematic link. This statistic is updated every 16 seconds. Downlink Statistics Power Level: Signal Strength Ratio This field represents the received power level at the SM/BHS as well as the ratio of horizontal path signal strength to vertical path signal strength at the SM/BHS.

For 450m, this field indicates the rate being used for symbols where a VC is not being MU-MIMO grouped with other SMs. For 450 and 450i platforms, there is no grouping and this field indicates the modulation rate for all symbols. This field indicates the modulation rate used for symbols where the low or medium priority data channels are MU-MIMO scheduled by grouping it in the same slot with other high or ultra high priority data channels from other SM's. Page 2-363 Chapter 2: Tools Using the Link Status tool BER Results This field displays the over-the-air Bit Error Rates for each downlink. (The ARQ [Automatic Resend Request] ensures that the transport BER [the BER seen end-to-end through a network] is essentially zero.) The level of acceptable over-the-air BER varies, based on operating requirements, but a reasonable value for a good link is a BER of 1e-4 (1 x 10-4) or better, approximately a packet resend rate of 5%. BER is generated using unused bits in the downlink. During periods of peak load, BER data is not updated as often, because the system puts priority on transport rather than on BER calculation. Reg Requests A Reg Requests count is the number of times the SM/BHS registered after the AP/BHM determined that the link had been down. ReReg Requests If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs/BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a spectrum scan). A ReReg Requests count is the number of times the AP/BHM received a SM/BHS registration request while the AP/BHM considered the link to be still up (and therefore did not expect registration requests). If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs/BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a spectrum scan).

This field displays the MAC address of the AP to which this SM is registered. Page 2-368 Chapter 2: Tools Using BER Results tool Using BER Results tool Radio BER data represents bit errors at the RF link level. Due to CRC checks on fragments and packets and ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request), the BER of customer data is essentially zero. Radio BER gives one indication of link quality. Other important indications to consider includes the received power level, signal to noise ratio and link tests. BER is only instrumented on the downlink and is displayed on the BER Results tab of the Tools page in any SM. Each time the tab is clicked, the current results are read and counters are reset to zero. The BER Results tab can be helpful in troubleshooting poor link performance. The link is acceptable if the value of this field is less than 104. If the BER is greater than 104, re-evaluate the installation of both modules in the link. The BER test signal is broadcast by the AP/BHM (and compared to the expected test signal by the SM/BHS) only when capacity in the sector allows it. This signal is the lowest priority for AP/BHM transmissions. Figure 80 BER Results tab of the SM Page 2-369 Chapter 2: Tools Using the Sessions tool Using the Sessions tool The PMP 450 Platform Family AP has a tab Sessions under the Tools category which allows operators to drop one or all selected SM sessions and force a SM re-registration. This operation is useful to force QoS changes for SMs without losing AP logs or statistics. This operation may take 5 minutes to regain all SM registrations.

Board Model This field indicates the Manufacturers Model number. FPGA Version Uptime System Time This field indicates the version of the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on the module. When you request technical support, provide the information from this field. This field indicates how long the module has operated since power was applied. This field provides the current time. Any BHS that registers to a BHM inherits the system time, which is displayed in this field as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Ethernet Interface This field indicates the speed and duplex state of Ethernet interface to the BHM. Antenna Type The current antenna type that has been selected. Temperature The current operating temperature of the board. Session Status This field displays the following information about the current session:
Scanning indicates that this BHS currently cycles through the radio frequencies that are selected in the Radio tab of the Configuration page. Syncing indicates that this BHM currently attempts to receive sync. Registering indicates that this BHM has sent a registration request message to the BHM and has not yet received a response. Registered indicates that this BHM is both:
Registered to a BHM. Ready to transmit and receive data packets. Session Uptime This field displays the duration of the current link. The syntax of the displayed time is hh:mm:ss. Registered Backhaul Displays the MAC address and site name of the BHM to which the BHS is registered to. This parameter provides click-through proxy access to the BHMs management interface. Channel Frequency This field lists the current operating frequency of the radio. Receive Power This field lists the current combined receive power level, in dBm. Page 3-19 Chapter 3: Operation System information Signal Strength Ratio This field displays the difference of the Vertical path received signal power to the Horizontal path received signal power. Transmit Power This field lists the current combined transmit power level, in dBm. Signal to Noise Ratio This field lists the current signal-to-noise level, an indication of the separation of the received power level vs. noise floor. Beacons Air Delay Displays a count of beacons received by the BHM in percentage. This value must be typically between 99-100%. If lower than 99%, it indicates a problematic link. This statistic is updated every 16 seconds. This field displays the distance in feet between this BHS and the BHM. To derive the distance in meters, multiply the value of this parameter by 0.3048. Distances reported as less than 200 feet (61 meters) are unreliable. Data Slots Down This field lists the number of slots used for downlink data transmission. Data Slots Up This field lists the number of slots used for uplink data transmission. Regional Code Site Name Time Updated and Location Code A parameter that offers multiple fixed selections, each of which automatically implements frequency band range restrictions for the selected region. Units shipped to regions other than the United States must be configured with the corresponding Country Code to comply with local regulatory requirements. This field indicates the name of the physical module. Assign or change this name in the Configuration > SNMP page. This information is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server. This field displays information about the keying of the radio. Page 3-20 Chapter 3: Operation General Status page of BHS The BHSs General Status page is explained in Table 119. Table 119 General Status page attributes - BHS System information Page 3-21 Chapter 3: Operation System information Attribute Meaning See Table 119 on page 3-21 Device Type Board Type Software Version CPU Usage Board MSN Board Model FPGA Version Uptime System Time Ethernet Interface Antenna Type Temperature Session Status Session Uptime Registered Backhaul Channel Frequency Receive Power See Table 119 on page 3-21 Signal Strength Ratio Transmit Power Signal to Noise Ratio Beacons Air Delay Data Slots Down Data Slots Up Regional Code Site Name Page 3-22 Chapter 3: Operation System information Site Contact Site Location Time Updated and Location Code Page 3-23 Chapter 3: Operation System information Viewing Session Status The Session Status page in the Home page provides information about each SM or BHS that has registered to the AP or BHM. This information is useful for managing and troubleshooting a system. This page also includes the current active values on each SM or BHS for MIR and VLAN, as well as the source of these values, representing the SM/BHS itself, Authentication Server, or the Authentication Server and SM/BHS. Note For accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. The Session Status List has four tabs: Device, Session, Power, Configuration, and Link Quality. The SessionStatus.xml hyper link allows user to export session status page from web management interface of AP or BHM. The session status page will be exported in xml file. Device tab The Device tab provides information on the Subscribers LUID and MAC, Hardware, Software, FPGA versions and the state of the SM/BHS (Registered and/or encrypted). Table 120 Device tab attributes Attribute Subscriber Meaning This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID), MAC address and Site Name of the SM/BHS. Note The MAC is a hot link to open the interface to the SM/BHS. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Site Name indicates the name of the SM/BHS. Change this name on the Configuration web page of the SM/BHS. This information is also set into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an SNMP management server. Page 3-24 Chapter 3: Operation System information LUID This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID) of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. If a SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHS and then regains registration, the SM/BHS will retain the same LUID. Note Both the LUID and the MAC are hot links to open the interface to the SM/BHS. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Hardware This field displays the SMs or BHS hardware type. Software Version This field displays the software release that operates on the SM/BHS, the release date and time of the software. FPGA Version This field displays the version of FPGA that runs on the SM/BHS State This field displays the current status of the SM/BHS as either IN SESSION to indicate that the SM/BHS is currently registered to the AP/BHM. IDLE to indicate that the SM/BHS was registered to the AP/BHM at one time, but now is not. This field also indicates whether the encryption scheme in the module is enabled. Page 3-25 Chapter 3: Operation Session tab System information The Session tab provides information on the SMs or BHS Session Count, Reg Count, Re-Reg Count, Uptime, Air delay, PPPoE State and Timeouts. Table 121 Session tab attributes Attribute Subscriber LUID State Meaning See Table 120 on page 3-24. See Table 120 on page 3-24. This filed displays the status of the registered SM. Uptime (Downtime) Once a SM/BHS successfully registers to an AP/BHM, this timer is started. If a session drops or is interrupted, this timer is reactivated once re-
registration is complete. Session Count This field displays how many sessions the SM/BHS has had with the AP/BHM. Typically, this is the sum of Registration Requests and Re-
Registration Requests. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs or BHS, then this may indicate a link problem or an interference problem. Registration Requests When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is not currently in session database and it is valid Registration Request, then the request increments the value of this field. In ideal situation, the Registration Requests indicates total number of connected SMs to an AP. Note The user can clear Registration Requests by dropping all current sessions of SM (or BHS) from Configuration > Tools >
Sessions menu. Page 3-26 Chapter 3: Operation System information Re- Registration Requests CC Priority AirDelay PPPoE state Timeout When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is currently in session database, then the request increments the value of this field. Typically, a Re-Registration Requests is the case where both:
SM/BHS attempts to reregister for having lost communication with the AP/BHM. AP/BHM has not yet observed the link to the SM/BHS as being down. It is possible for a small period of time if there is no downlink traffic and AP/BHM still assumes the session is up, but the SM/BHS, loses session and quickly re-connects before the AP/BHM knew the session had dropped. This is how a re-registration happens. If the number of sessions is significantly greater than the number for other SMs or BHS, then this may indicate a link problem (check mounting, alignment, receive power levels) or an interference problem (conduct a spectrum scan). The field displays Color Code Priority (ICC, Primary, Secondary or Tertiary) of all connected SM. This field displays the distance of the SM/BHS from the AP/BHM in meters, nanoseconds and bits. At close distances, the value in this field is unreliable. This field displays the current PPPoE state (whether configured) of the SM/BHS. This field displays the timeout in seconds for management sessions via HTTP, ftp access to the SM/BHS. 0 indicates that no limit is imposed.

See Table 120 on page 3-24. This field displays the SMs or BHS hardware type. This field displays whether the high-priority channel is enabled in the SM/BHS and the status of rate adapt. For example, if 8X/4X is listed, the radio is capable of operating at 8X but is currently operating at 4X, due to RF conditions. This field also states whether it is MIMO-A or MIMO-B radio e.g. 8X/8X MIMO-B indicates MIMO-B and 8X/4X MIMO-A indicates MIMO-A. A data channel starts at its lowest modulation and slowly rate adapts up, as traffic is successfully transmitted over the data channel. From system release 15.2, all data channels in a single SM will have the same modulation rates. Note: The SU-MIMO rate applies to all AP platforms. For 450m, this field indicates the rate being used for symbols where this particular VC is not being MU-MIMO grouped with other SMs. This field indicates the modulation rate used for symbols where the low or medium priority data channels are MU-MIMO scheduled by grouping it in the same slot with other low or Medium priority data channels from other SM's. This field the status of rate adapt. For example, if 8X/4X is listed, the radio is capable of operating at 8X but is currently operating at 4X, due to RF conditions. This field also states whether it is MIMO-A or MIMO-B radio e.g. 8X/8X MIMO-B indicates MIMO-B and 8X/4X MIMO-A indicates MIMO-A. A data channel starts at its lowest modulation and slowly rate adapts up, as traffic is successfully transmitted over the data channel. From system release 15.2, all data channels in a single SM will have the same modulation rates. Note: The SU-MIMO rate applies to all AP platforms. For 450m, this field indicates the rate being used for symbols where this particular VC is not being MU-MIMO grouped with other SMs. This field indicates the modulation rate used for symbols where the MUMIMO groupable data channels are MU-MIMO scheduled by grouping it in the same slot with other MU-MIMO groupable data channels from other SM's. AP Rx Power (dBm) This field indicates the APs or BHMs combined receive power level for the listed SM/BHS. Page 3-28 Chapter 3: Operation Signal Strength Ratio (dB) System information This field displays the ratio of the Vertical path received signal power to the Horizontal path received signal power. This ratio can be useful for determining multipathing conditions (high vertical to horizontal ratio) for Uplink. Signal to Noise Ratio (dB) This field lists the current signal-to-noise level, an indication of the separation of the received power level vs. noise floor. In other words, it indicates signal to noise ratio for Uplink.

To view the pages for a selected SM/BHS, click its link. The General Status page of the SM opens. Figure 83 Remote Subscribers page of AP Interpreting messages in the Event Log 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 expand the window till all lines are shown beginning with time and date stamp. Time and Date Stamp The time and date stamp reflect one of the following:
GPS time and date directly or indirectly received from the CMM4. NTP time and date from a NTP server (CMM4 may serve as an NTP server) The running time and date that you have set in the Time & Date web page. Page 3-35 Chapter 3: Operation System information Note In the Time & Date web page, if you have left any time field or date field unset and clicked the Set Time and Date button, then the time and date default to 00:00:00 UT: 01/01/00. A reboot causes the preset time to pause or, in some cases, to run in reverse. Additionally, a power cycle resets the running time and date to the default 00:00:00 UT: 01/01/00. Thus, whenever either a reboot or a power cycle has occurred, must reset the time and date in the Time & Date web page of any module that is not set to receive sync. Event Log Data Collection The collection of event data continues through reboots and power cycles. When the buffer allowance for event log data is reached, the system adds new data into the log and discards an identical amount of the oldest data. considered by the system software to have been an exception Each line that contains the expression WatchDog flags an event that was both:

Page 3-42 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Interpreting Bridging Table statistics If NAT (network address translation) is not active on the SM/BHS, then the Bridging Table page provides the MAC address of all devices that are attached to registered SMs/BHS (identified by LUIDs). The SM/BHS management MAC addresses are also added in bridge table upon SMs/BHS registration. These entries will be remove automically from the table once SMs/BHS is de-registered. This alleviates the arp cache > bridge cache timeout problems. The bridging table allows data to be sent to the correct module as follows:
For the AP/BHM, the uplink is from RF to Ethernet. Thus, when a packet arrives in the RF interface to the AP/BHM, the AP/BHM reads the MAC address from the inbound packet and creates a bridging table entry of the source MAC address on the other end of the RF interface. For the SM/BHS, the uplink is from Ethernet to RF. Thus, when a packet arrives in the Ethernet interface to one of these modules, the module reads the MAC address from the inbound packet and creates a bridging table entry of the source MAC address on the other end of the Ethernet interface. Figure 88 Bridging Table page The Bridging Table supports up to 4096 entries. Interpreting Translation Table statistics When Translation Bridging is enabled in the AP, each SM keeps a table mapping MAC addresses of devices attached to the AP to IP addresses, as otherwise the mapping of end-user MAC addresses to IP addresses is lost. (When Translation Bridging is enabled, an AP modifies all uplink traffic originating from registered SMs such that the source MAC address of every packet is changed to that of the SM which bridged the packet in the uplink direction.)

Page 3-45 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics CRCError This field displays how many CRC errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. RcvFifoNoBuf This field displays the number of times no FIFO buffer space was able to be allocated. Note:
PMP 450 AP running in Gigabit Ethernet Mode displays error RcfFifoNoBuf which indicates packet loss. For 450 AP platforms, if ethernet auto-negotation is set to Gigabit, then it is a known limitation that RcfFifoNoBuf error will be seen. This issue is not seen if autonegotation is set to 100Mbps or lower, and the issue is not seen on 450i or 450m AP's. RxOverrun Late Collision This field displays how many receiver overrun errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. This field displays how many late collisions occurred on the Ethernet controller. A normal collision occurs during the first 512 bits of the frame transmission. A collision that occurs after the first 512 bits is considered a late collision. Caution A late collision is a serious network problem because the frame being transmitted is discarded. A late collision is most commonly caused by a mismatch between duplex configurations at the ends of a link segment. RetransLimitExp This field displays how many times the retransmit limit has expired. TxUnderrun CarSenseLost No Carrier This field displays how many transmission-underrun errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. This field displays how many carrier sense lost errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. This field displays how many no carrier errors occurred on the Ethernet controller. Page 3-46 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Interpreting RF Control Block statistics The Statistics > Radio page is applicable for all module (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). The Radio page of the Statistics page displays the following fields. Table 133 Radio (Statistics) page attributes RF Control Block Attribute Meaning inoctets Count This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that deliver framing information. inucastpkts Count This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. Innucastpkts Count This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. 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 is 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. The likely case for indiscards is if the RF bridge queue is full. If this is the case the radio is most likely PPS limited due to excessive small packet traffic or a problem at the Ethernet interface. If there is a problem at the Ethernet interface there is likely to be discards at the Ethernet as well. inerrors Count This field displays how many inbound packets contained errors that prevented their delivery to a higher-layer protocol. inunknownprotos Count This field displays how many inbound packets were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol. outoctets Count This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the interface, including those that deliver framing information. Page 3-47 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics outucastpkts Count outnucastpkts Count This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. outdiscards Count This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their transmission. (Some of these packets may have been discarded to increase buffer space.) outerrrors Count This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that prevented their transmission. Page 3-48 Chapter 3: Operation Interpreting Sounding statistics for AP System statistics In the 450m AP GUI, sounding statistics can be found under Statistics > Sounding Statistics. Table 134 Sounding Statistics - 450m AP page attributes Attribute Subscriber LUID Meaning This field displays the MAC address and Site Name of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM. This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID) of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. If a SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHS and then regains registration, the SM/BHS will retain the same LUID. Spatial Frequency This field displays the spatial frequency value of the LUID or SM. Values 0 to 1023 are valid and value 2048 is considered as invalid. Azimuth This field displays the Azimuth range in degrees corresponding to the spatial frequencies of the bin. The zero-degree azimuth is boresight. Note Some SF ranges correspond to multiple azimuth ranges. This is because for some spatial frequencies the AP generates beams in multiple azimuth directions. The SM can be physically located in any of the azimuth ranges. Downlink - Sounding State Different types of Sounding states are:
UNKNOWN: SM has recently registered to the AP but not registered with the channel manager yet. NEW: SM has been registered with the channel manager and will soon transition to ASSESSING. ASSESSING: AP will instruct SM to take the channel measurements. Channel estimates and spatial frequencies will be calculated. TRACKING: Valid measurements resulted in good channel estimates and spatial frequency. This SM can now be used for MU-MIMO. Page 3-49 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics INVALID: Inconsistent measurements resulting in no channel estimate or spatial frequency. This SM cannot be used for MU-MIMO and it will ultimately be re-assessed. NOT ELIGIBLE: Due to poor RF link conditions, the RF link as rate adapted down to SU-MIMO transmissions. Downlink - MU-MIMO Rate This field indicates the modulation rate used for symbols where this particular LUID is MU-MIMO scheduled by grouping it in the same slot with other LUIDs. Uplink - Sounding State This field indicates the status of uplink sounding. Uplink - MU-MIMO Rate This field indicates the modulation rate used for symbols where the MU-MIMO groupable data channels are MU-MIMO scheduled by grouping it in the same slot with other MU-MIMO groupable data channels from other SM's. Page 3-50 Chapter 3: Operation Interpreting VLAN statistics System statistics The Statistics > VLAN page provides a list of the most recent packets that were filtered because of VLAN membership violations. It is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). Table 135 VLAN page attributes Attribute Unknown Only Tagged Ingress Local Ingress Egress Local Egress Meaning This must not occur. Contact Technical Support. The packet was filtered because the configuration is set to accept only packets that have an 802.1Q header and this packet did not. When the packet entered through the wired Ethernet interface, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. When the packet was received from the local TCP/IP stack, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. This must not occur. Contact Technical Support. When the packet attempted to leave through the wired Ethernet interface, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. When the packet attempted to reach the local TCP/IP stack, the packet was filtered because it indicated an incorrect VLAN membership. Page 3-51 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Interpreting Data Channels statistics The Statistics > Data Channels page displays information about data channels used in data communications. This page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS). The Data VC tab displays the fields as explained in Table 136. Table 136 Data Channel page attributes Attribute Subscriber LUID Meaning This field displays the MAC address and Site Name of the SM/BHS. This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID) of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. If a SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHS and then regains registration, the SM/BHS will retain the same LUID. Page 3-52 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Note Both the LUID and the MAC are hot links to open the interface to the SM/BHS. In some instances, depending on network activity and network design, this route to the interface yields a blank web page. If this occurs, refresh your browser view. Channel Priority This field displays the channel priority for the virtual channel. The values supported are Low, Medium, High, and Ultra High. Inbound Statistics, octets This field displays how many octets were received on the interface, including those that deliver framing information. Inbound Statistics, ucastpkts This field displays how many inbound subnetwork-unicast packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. Inbound Statistics, nucastpkts This field displays how many inbound non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets were delivered to a higher-layer protocol. Inbound Statistics, discards 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 must be close to the RF control block in discards. If indiscards are evenly distributed across SMs, then the radio is PPS limited due to either excessive small packet transmissions, or a problem at the Ethernet link. If indiscards are contained to one or a few SMs, then there is likely a problem at or underneath the SM which is incrementing the count. Outbound Statistics, octets This field displays how many octets were transmitted out of the interface, including those that deliver framing information. Outbound Statistics, ucastpkts This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a subnetwork-unicast address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. Outbound Statistics, nucastpkts Outbound Statistics, discards This field displays how many packets for which the higher-level protocols requested transmission to a non-unicast (subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address. The number includes those that were discarded or not sent. This field displays how many outbound packets were discarded without errors that would have prevented their transmission. Outbound discard statistics are incremented if a VC is not active when a packet is ready to send. This is a rare condition. Outbound Statistics, errors This field displays how many outbound packets contained errors that prevented their transmission. Page 3-53 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Queue Overflow This is a count of packets that were discarded because the queue for the VC was already full. If Queue Overflows are being seen across most or all SMs, then there is either an interferer local to the AP or the APs RF link is at capacity. If Queue Overflows are being seen at one or only a few SMs, then it is likely that there is a problem with those specific links whether it is insufficient signal strength, interferer, or a problem with the actual SM hardware. High Priority Queue This is a count of packets that were received on high priority queue. Fragments Modulation - Receive Fragments Modulation QPSK 16-QAM 64-QAM 256-QAM Retransmitted Fragments This field displays how many inbound fragments were received via the QPSK modulation scheme.

For 450m AP's the maximum possible Throughput shown here assumes all SUMIMO scheduling. MUMIMO scheduling will result in higher TPUT. Sustained Data Rate This field displays the preset rate limit of data transfer for every SM. Interpreting MIR/Burst statistics The Statistics > MIR/Burst page displays information about MIR/Burst. This page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM). The MIR/Burst tab displays the fields as explained in Table 138 and Table 139. Page 3-55 Chapter 3: Operation Table 138 MIR/Burst page attributes for AP System statistics Attribute Subscriber Meaning This field displays the LUID (logical unit ID), MAC address and Site Name of the SM/BHS. As each SM or BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the system assigns an LUID of 2 or a higher unique number to the SM/BHS. As of release 15.2, if an SM/BHS loses registration with the AP/BHM and then regains registration, the SM/BHS retains the same LUID. Current Downlink Bucket Size This field displays the number of bits in the bucket to be potentially consumed at above-MIR rates, up to Max Burst MIR rate.

Page 3-57 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Interpreting Throughput statistics The 450 Platform Family has a Statistics > Throughput page which shows historical information about sector or backhaul throughput and packet discards. This page is applicable for AP and BHM modules. This information can be useful to identify an overloaded sector or heavy bandwidth users. This page also shows the user throughput in terms of data rate (kbps) and packet rate (packets per second, or PPS), as well as the average packet size during the sample period. Operators may set the AP/BHM to send an SNMP trap when it detects an RF overload condition based on a configurable threshold. The following configuration parameters are available on the Throughput tab GUI pane and a radio reboot is not required when configuring these parameters:
Table 140 RF overload Configuration attributes AP/BHM Attribute Throughput Monitoring Meaning This enables or disables the monitoring of sector throughput and packet discards. This parameter is disabled by default. SNMP Trap on RF Overload This enables or disables the sending of an SNMP trap when an AP/BHM overload condition is reached (based on Downlink RF Overload Threshold). Downlink RF Overload Threshold This parameter determines the overload threshold in percent of packets discarded that triggers the generation of an SNMP trap. Downlink RF Link Status Time Period Length Time Period Ending This field displays the status of the capacity of the RF link. These two configuration parameters determine what set of collection samples to show on the GUI display. The Time Period Length can be set from one to three hours. Time Period Ending allows the operator to set the end time for the set of collection samples to display. Following configuration settings are three tables that display the statistics that are collected. Page 3-58 Chapter 3: Operation Board Performance statistics System statistics This table contains a row that corresponds to each 1 minute statistics collection interval. Each row contains the following data aggregated for the entire AP/BHM:
Ethernet Throughput - Statistics collected at the Ethernet port:
o kbps in average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps into the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface o kbps out average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps out of the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface o PPS in average packets per second over the collection interval into the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface o PPS out average packets per second over the collection interval out of the AP/BHM on the Ethernet Interface RF Throughput - Statistics collected at the RF Interface:
o kbps in average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps into the AP/BHM on the RF Interface o kbps out average throughput over the collection interval in Kbps out of the AP/BHM on the RF Interface o PPS in average packets per second over the collection interval into the AP/BHM on the RF Interface o PPS out average packets per second over the collection interval out of the AP/BHM on the RF Interface Aggregate Through Board Sum of bidirectional data transferred through (not originating or terminating at) the AP/BHM:
o kbps average bidirectional throughput over the collection interval in Kbps o PPS average bidirectional packets per second over the collection interval o Ave Pkt Size Average Packet size over the collection interval of bidirectional data transferred Board Throughput statistics This table contains a row that corresponds to each one minute statistics collection interval. This table may be used to determine if there are problems with any of the interfaces. For example, if the Ethernet in packets is much higher than the RF out packets it could indicate a denial of service (DoS) attack on the AP/BHM. Each row contains the following data aggregated for the entire AP/BHM:
Ethernet Statistics - Statistics collected at the Ethernet port:
o inOctets Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o outOctets Number of octets (bytes) sent by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval inPkts Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o Page 3-59 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics o outPkts Number of packets sent by the AP/BHM at the Ethernet Interface over the collection interval o Discards (in/out) Number of packets that had to be discarded by the AP/BHM at the respective Ethernet Interface Queue RF Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface:
o inOctets Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface over the collection interval o outOctets Number of octets (bytes) sent by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface over the collection interval inPkts Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface over the collection interval o o outPkts Number of packets sent by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface over the collection interval o Discards (in/out) Number of packets that had to be discarded by the AP/BHM at the respective RF Interface Queue during the collection interval o Discards % (in/out) Percent of the total packets received / transmitted that had to be discarded during the collection interval LUID RF Throughput statistics This table contains a row that corresponds to each active LUID served by the AP/BHM. Note that an LUID may be assigned 1 or 2 VCs. If the LUID is assigned 2 VCs, then the data in the table is the sum of the activity for both VCs. This table may be used to determine which LUIDs are experiencing overload so that corrective action can be taken (i.e. fixing a poor RF link or moving a heavily loaded link to a less congested AP/BHM). Each row contains counters and statistics related to the RF Interface that are updated once per minute:
Inbound Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface for the Uplink:
o octets Number of octets (bytes) received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o pkts Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o Ave Pkt Size Average size of the packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o discards Number of packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF In Queue was full o discards % Percent of the total packets received by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF In Queue was full Outbound Statistics - Statistics collected at the RF Interface for the Downlink:
o octets Number of octets (bytes) transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o pkts Number of packets transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval Page 3-60 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics o Ave Pkt Size Average size of the packets transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval o discards Number of packets to be transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF Out Queue was full o discards % Percent of the total packets to be transmitted by the AP/BHM at the RF Interface for this LUID over the collection interval that had to be discarded because the RF Out Queue was full. Interpreting Overload statistics The Statistics > Overload page displays statistics on packet overload and resultant packet discards. Unlike the other fields, the Total Packets Overload Count is expressed in only this page. 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. This statistics page is applicable for all modules (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) and explained in Table 141. Table 141 Overload page attributes AP/SM/BHM/BHS Attribute Meaning Total Packets Overload Count Ethernet In Discards This field represents the sum of all RF and Ethernet in/out discards. This field represents the number of packets tossed due to the Ethernet queue being full. If a climb in this stat accompanies a climb in RF Out Discards stat, then most likely the board is at RF capacity either due to traffic exceeding the RF pipe, or interference temporarily limiting the RF throughput. If this stat climbs without the RF Out Discards stat climbing, then the radio is most likely PPS limited. Page 3-61 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Ethernet Out Discards This field represents the number of packets tossed due to an Ethernet out RF In Discards RF Out Discards overload. This stat must not 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. This field indicates the number of packets tossed due to no resources available within the radio to process them. This stat also must not be increasing because the system is designed to shed packets on the RF Out interface. If this stat is incrementing the board, it is most likely congested due to high PPS rate in combination with an Ethernet Out problem, which limits packet flow off the device. This field indicates the number of packets tossed due to RF link at capacity. This stat will increase whenever the RF link is at capacity. When the internal FPGA RF input queue overflows, this stat is incremented. If this stat is seen to be incrementing at the AP, then the sector is congested. If seen at the SM, the number of Contention Slots must be looked at to ensure that enough Contention Slots are allocated to allow for bandwidth requests to be seen at the AP. Page 3-62 Chapter 3: Operation Note 450m Overload:
System statistics The 450m Series AP is designed to handle high load in terms of high throughput and high PPS. In terms of throughput, 450m is designed to achieve 3x or more throughput improvement over 450 and 450i Series products. In terms of packets per second (PPS), 450m is designed to handle up to 100k PPS. Overload occurs when the offered load exceeds the above limits. When overload occurs, 450m will start discarding packets and TCP throughput will degrade due to packet loss. Its worth noting that Frame Utilization statistics (Statistics > Frame Utilization tab:
Frame Utilization: Downlink and Uplink) are not necessarily indicative of overload condition. They show how much the TDD frame is utilized. High frame utilization depends on:
High traffic during busy periods: those statistics will be close to 100% and almost all slots will be utilized. In this case if the Overload statistics show that packets are discarded then this is an indication of overload condition. High percentage of VCs with low modulation with moderate traffic. Those VCs will require more slots to service them (due to low modulation) and the frame utilization will be high. In this case the TDD frame is fully utilized but the system is at low capacity and is not in an overload condition. 450m has higher PPS than 450 and 450i and supports higher throughput through spatial multiplexing, therefore when a 450m replaces an overloaded 450 or 450i AP the 450m will not be overloaded under the same conditions but the frame utilization may still show close to 100%; this should not alarm the customer. The overload statistics shall be monitored on 450m to see if it is overloaded or not. Interpreting DHCP Relay statistics The Statistics > DHCP Relay page displays requests and replies received, relayed and discarded when the AP is configured as a DHCP relay. Typically, in a working DHCP relay configuration a one-to-one ratio is established between requests and replies that are received and relayed. This statistics page is only applicable for PMP (AP and SM modules) and it is explained in Table 142. Page 3-63 Chapter 3: Operation Table 142 DHCP Relay page attributes AP/SM System statistics Attribute Meaning Requests Received This field represents the number of DHCP relay requests received by the AP.

Max Hop Exceeded Discards This field indicates messages that have been relayed too many times, exceeding the max hop count (16). Invalid Relay Agent Address Discards This field indicates messages that have been discarded because the message relay agent address is already in place (relay agent address does not equal address of the AP). This field indicates DHCP messages too large to fit Option 82 data. These messages are sent on without Option 82 information. Relay Info Exceeding Max Message Size

Page 3-78 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Interpreting Frame Utilization statistics The Frame Utilization Statistics is a feature helps user to understand how effectively the RF channel is being utilized. This feature allows to check Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame utilization pattern and diagnose for any excessive usage in uplink or downlink direction. This forms the first step of identifying the TDD frame utilization information. If the user finds excessive utilization based on these stats, the second step would be to take several actions like sectorization, tuning the uplink/downlink ratio etc. to improve RF channel utilization. Efficient use of the TDD frame will help to achieve optimum performance of link. Note The backhauls (BHM and BHS) will have only the downlink scheduler-
based statistics Table 152 Frame utilization statistics for 450m Page 3-79 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Attribute Meaning Frame Utilization Interval Statistics Display interval This allows to configure timer interval to monitor and display the frame utilization statistics. It can be configured for 1 minute (low interval), 5 minutes (medium interval) or 15 minutes (high interval) based on requirement. Next Update This field displays when the next update will occur. MU-MIMO Utilization Slot Grouping - Group Size This specifies the distribution of group size for the past 1/5/15 minutes. For each group size, from 1 to 7, the table shows the percentage of slots using that group size. A group size of 1 corresponds to beamformed transmissions. A group size of 2 to 7 corresponds to MU-MIMO transmissions. Additional Statistics Average MU-MIMO Group Size - Data This specifies the average number of users in the MU-MIMO groups formed in the last 1/5/15 minutes for data traffic only. Total Utilization This is a percentage of available timeslots used in the past 1/5/15 minutes. Page 3-80 Chapter 3: Operation Multiplexing Gain Sector Utilization SU-MIMO MU-MIMO ACK MU-MIMO ACK System statistics This specifies the ratio between the number of logical slots and the number of physical slots used. A physical slot is an OFDM symbol. In non MU-MIMO mode, each logical slot is sent during one physical slot. In MU-MIMO mode a number of logical slots are sent during a physical slot, equal to the number of VCs in the group. A logical slot carries new information; if data is repeated in a group, because some VCs have more data to send then others, then the repeated transmissions are not counted as a logical slots. Without MU-MIMO operation, the multiplexing gain would always be equal to 1. With MU-MIMO operation, this number accounts for parallel transmissions to multiple users in the MU-MIMO group. The difference between the Average MU-MIMO Group Size and the Multiplexing Gain is that the Average MU-MIMO Group Size only considers the MU-MIMO groups, and it averages the number of VCs in the Group. The Multiplexing Gain also considers non MU-MIMO transmissions, which are counted as groups of size 1. This specifies the portion of the Total Utilization used for SU-MIMO transmissions. This specifies the portion of the Total Utilization used for MU-MIMO transmissions. This specifies the portion of the Total Utilization used for acknowledgments transmission. This specifies the portion of the Total Utilization used for acknowledgements transmissions that are MU-MIMO scheduled. Currently only the UL direction supports MU-MIMO scheduling of ACK's. Broadcast & Multicast This specifies the portion of the Total Utilization used for broadcast and multicast transmissions. Slots Counts - Uplink and Downlink Slot Counts Per Frame Average This indicates the average data per frame in the downlink traffic. Low Priority Medium Priority High Priority The number of downlink data slots used for low priority downlink traffic. The number of downlink data slots used for medium priority downlink traffic. The number of downlink data slots used for high priority downlink traffic. Page 3-81 Chapter 3: Operation Ultra High Priority System statistics The number of downlink data slots used for ultra high priority downlink traffic. Note: The above Low, Medium, High, and Ultra High Priority Counts are physical slot transmissions. For MU-MIMO scheduling, some transmissions can contain data from more than 1 data channel priority. In those cases, the highest data channel used is "counted" in these statistics, and the other data channels are not, to avoid overcounting. Broadcast & Multicast The number of downlink data slots used for broadcast and multicast traffic. Authentication and Configuration The number of slots used for registration and control message transmissions Registration and control The number of slots used for Authentication and Configuration transmissions. MAC Acknowledgements The number of downlink data slots used as ACKs. Contention Slots Average Per Frame It is the average number of contention slots in a frame for the last duration. Duration is 1/5/15 mins. Bandwidth Requests Received Bandwidth Requests Missed Total This indicates the number of Bandwidth Requests received from SMs. This indicates how many of Bandwidth Requests are colliding. This indicates the sum of all downlink data slots used in the configured interval. Frame Utilization Downlink Uplink This indicates the percentage of downlink data slots used against the maximum number of slots possible in the configured interval. This indicates the percentage of uplink data slots used against the maximum number of uplink slots possible in the configured interval. Page 3-82 Chapter 3: Operation System statistics Bandwidth Request Success Maximum possible counts Downlink Uplink The "Bandwidth Request Success" is a message sent from the SM to the AP asking to be scheduled for bandwidth to send in the uplink. This gets transmitted in the unscheduled portion of the uplink. Unscheduled uplink is defined as Contention Slots + unscheduled uplink slots. Since this is sent in the unscheduled portion of the uplink, it will result in collisions when SMs randomly pick the same slot. The "Bandwidth Request Missed" metrics are to add data to know how many of requests are colliding. If it is near 100%, then near all of the SMs bandwidth requests are getting through to the AP, so this a is near perfect scenario. If it is significantly less than that, you may be experiencing uplink latency as your SMs are attempting to request bandwidth and are unable to do so. Also note that if it is consistently at 100% the AP may be able to reduce its contention slots to a lower value and gain more data slots. This indicates the maximum possible downlink data slots in the configured interval. This is based on the configuration of Channel Bandwidth, Frame period, uplink/downlink allocation, contention slots and configured Statistics Display interval. This indicates the maximum possible uplink data slots in the configured interval. This is based on the configuration of Channel Bandwidth, Frame period, uplink/downlink allocation, contention slots and configured Statistics Display interval. Contention This indicates the maximum possible contention slots. Packet Discard counts Ethernet indiscards This indicates the number of Ethernet packets discarded in the IN queue. Ethernet outdiscards This indicates the number of Ethernet packets discarded in the OUT queue. Radio indiscards Radio outdiscards This indicates the number of packets discarded over radio in the IN queue. This indicates the number of packets discarded over radio in the OUT queue.

Page 3-84 Chapter 3: Operation Interpreting Spatial Utilization statistics Table 154 Spatial Utilization statistics System statistics Page 3-85 Chapter 3: Operation Spatial Frequency Heatmap System statistics Attribute Instantaneous Distribution Meaning This table is updated every 500 ms and displays the following:
Group: Each row corresponds to the top (most active) 1, 2, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256 VCs. Median Slot Count: Median value of the average number of slots scheduled for the VCs in each group in the past 500 ms. LUIDs in Group: List of LUIDs belonging to each bin. Spatial Utilization This is a table (32 rows) that lists frame utilization for each spatial frequency (SF) range with following information:
Page 3-86 Chapter 3: Operation Attribute Meaning System statistics Spatial Frequency: Range of spatial frequency for each bin. Each bin includes 32 consecutive spatial frequency values. Azimuth (degrees): Azimuth range in degrees corresponding to the spatial frequencies of the bin. The zero-degree Azimuth is boresight. 7. Note Some SF ranges correspond to multiple azimuth ranges. This is because for some spatial frequencies the AP generates beams in multiple azimuth directions. The SM can be physically located in any of the azimuth ranges. Instantaneous (%): Frame utilization for the SF bin, updated every 500 ms. The frame utilization percentage accounts for all traffic, sector mode, beamforming mode, and MU-MIMO mode. 8. Total (%): Average utilization in the SF bin for the past 1/5/15 minutes, as selected in the Statistics Display interval. 9. Max (%): Maximum instantaneous utilization in the 1/5/15 minute interval. 10. Min (%): Minimum instantaneous utilization in the 1/5/15 minute interval. 11. VCs in Range: List of VCs with spatial frequency falling in the bin. 12. LUIDs in Range: List of LUIDs with spatial frequency falling in the bin. Note The size of each SF bin is smaller than the beam generated by the AP during a MU-MIMO transmission. This means that when a VC in a bin is scheduled for a MU-MIMO transmission, the adjacent bins also receive the signal, and the transmission is counted towards their utilization as well. Bins with consistent low utilization indicate the areas of the sector where more SMs could be installed, or the cutomers that could be offered higher data plans. The spatial frequency heatmap allow the operator to see how the 450m spatial frequency have been occupied (utilised) over the previous hour of operation. There are two heatmaps the first displays downlink utilisation and the lower the uplink utilisation. The heatmaps are useful when operators are identifying:

The graphic to the right-hand side of the heatmap should be used as a key to interpret the GUI. Where dark blue represents zero percent utilisation and red represents 100% utilisation. Page 3-88 Chapter 3: Operation Radio Recovery Radio Recovery This section describes:
How to recover a PMP/PTP 450i and PMP 450m Series ODUs from configuration errors or software image corruption How to override a PMP/PTP 450 Series ODUs from forgotten IP address and password to factory default Radio Recovery Console PMP/PTP 450i/450b and PMP 450m Recovery mode allows to restore IP address and password. Also, it allows new main application software to be loaded even when the integrity of the existing main application software image has been compromised. The most likely cause of an integrity problem with the installed main application software is where the power supply has been interrupted during a software upgrade. Note When Recovery has been entered through a power on/off/on cycle, the ODU will revert to normal operation if no web access has been made to the unit within 30 seconds. This prevents the unit remaining inadvertently in recovery following a power outage. Options in recovery mode are:
Boot with normal operation Boot with default Canopy system software settings The last most recent software images loaded to the board are retained. However the factory image is not retained. Load a previous SW image Boot with default Canopy system software settings (similar to the hardware Default Plug based on 450 Platforms Family). Note The unit may enter recovery console automatically, in response to some failures. Note Once the unit has entered recovery, it will switch back to normal operation if no access has been made to the recovery web page within 30 seconds. Use below procedure to enter in recovery console manually. Page 3-89 Chapter 3: Operation Procedure 27 Radio Recovery Console 1 Apply power to PSU for at least 10 seconds. Radio Recovery 2 Remove power from the PSU, and then re-apply it as soon as the power indicator light goes out (about 1 - 2 seconds). 3 When the unit is in recovery mode, access the web interface by entering the default IP address 169.254.1.1. The Recovery Image Warning page is displayed. 4 Review the Boot Selection (Table 155). 5 Select a recovery option Figure 91 Recovery Options page Table 155 Recovery Options attributes Attribute Meaning Boot Selection Boot Default Mode: Use this option to temporarily set the IP and Ethernet attributes to factory defaults until the next reboot. Boot Normal: Use this option to reboot the unit. IP address, Netmask, Gateway These fields display IP address, Netmask and Gateway of the radio while it is in recovery or default mode. Page 3-90 Chapter 3: Operation Radio Recovery Note The radio enters recovery mode when a short power cycle is used. The radio will boot normally if power has been removed for a longer period (typically 5 - 10 seconds). Default Mode (or Default/Override Plug) - PMP/PTP 450 Series The default mode allows to temporarily override some PMP/PTP 450 Series ODU settings and thereby regain control of the module by powering the module on with the Default Plug inserted into the units synchronization (RJ11) port. This override plug is needed for access to the module in any of the following cases:
You have forgotten either o o the IP address assigned to the ODU. the password that provides access to the ODU. The ODU has been locked by the No Remote Access feature. You want local access to a module that has had the 802.3 link disabled in the Configuration page. You can configure the module such that, when it senses the override plug, it responds by either resetting the LAN1 IP address to 169.254.1.1, allowing access through the default configuration without changing the configuration, whereupon you will be able to view and reset any non-default values as you wish. resetting all configurable parameters to their factory default values. Note The Default Plug is available from Best-Tronics Manufacturing, Inc. See https://btpa.com/Cambium-Products/ as Part BT-0583 (RJ-11 Default Plug). Alternatively, you can fabricate an override plug. See Override plug cable in Planning and Installation Guide for pinout. Using the Default/Override Plug The following section details usage of the override plug to regain access to PMP/PTP 450 Series ODU. Note While the override plug is connected to a PMP/PTP 450 Series ODU, the ODU can neither register nor allow registration of another ODU. Note Since the 900 MHz SM is based on the 450 Series, it only supports the "Default Plug"
mode of overriding. Page 3-91 Chapter 3: Operation Use below procedure to enter in default mode manually. Procedure 28 Default mode Radio Recovery 1 2 Insert the override plug into the RJ-11 GPS utility port of the module. Power cycle by removing, then re-inserting, the Ethernet cable. RESULT: The module boots with the default IP address of 169.254.1.1, password fields blank, and all other configuration values as previously set. 3 Wait approximately 30 seconds for the boot to complete. 4 5 6 7 8 Remove the override plug. Set passwords and IP address as desired. Change configuration values if desired. Click the Save Changes button. Click the Reboot button.

(*) At 5.4 GHz, EU regulations are harmonized. 5600 5650 MHz excluded, as ten-minute Channel Availability Check (CAC) is required. Note For releases 16.0 and later, although sector transmission mode EIRP is limited to 42 dBm, ROW GUI configuration limit allows a setting of up to 48 dBm. This allows the software to transmit as high as 48 dBm for ROW regions, depending on the modulation mode and transmission mode in use.

Page 3 Chapter 1: Product description Important regulatory information Important regulatory information The 450 Platform Family products are certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands). Application software Download the latest 450 Platform Family software and install it in the Outdoor Units (ODUs) before deploying the equipment. Instructions for installing software are provided in Upgrading the software version and using CNUT on page 7-66. USA specific information Caution This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference, and This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires manufacturers to implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz. Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of FCC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to the FCC. Cambium supplies variants of the 450i and 450m Series specifically for operation in the USA in order to comply with FCC requirements (KDB 905462 D02 UNII DFS Compliance Procedures New Rules v01r02). These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. Similarly, Cambium supplies variants of the 450 Series specifically for operation in the USA in order to comply with FCC requirements (KDB 443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01r04). These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. To ensure compliance when using PMP 450 Series and PTP 450 Series, follow the recommendation in Avoidance of weather radars (USA only). Page 4 Chapter 1: Product description Important regulatory information External antennas When using a connectorized version of the product, the conducted transmit power may need to be reduced to ensure the regulatory limit on transmitter EIRP is not exceeded. The installer must have an understanding of how to compute the effective antenna gain from the actual antenna gain and the feeder cable losses. The range of permissible values for maximum antenna gain and feeder cable losses are included in this user guide together with a sample calculation. The product GUI automatically applies the correct conducted power limit to ensure that it is not possible for the installation to exceed the EIRP limit, when the appropriate values for antenna gain and feeder cable losses are entered into the GUI. Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) To comply with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), units which are installed within 35 km (22 miles) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system (or have a line of sight propagation path to such a system) must be configured to avoid any frequency within +30 MHz or 30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR device. This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km (22 miles) radius but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km (22 miles) radius of the TDWRs. If interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be used. Devices with bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation. When planning a link in the USA, visit http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx, enter the location of the planned link and search for TDWR radars. If a TDWR system is located within 35 km
(22 miles) or has line of sight propagation to the PTP device, perform the following tasks:
Register the installation on http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx. Make a list of channel center frequencies that must be barred, that is, those falling within
+30 MHz or 30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR radars. The 450 Platform Family AP must be configured to not operate on the affected channels. Canada specific information Caution This device complies with ISEDC s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. ISEDC requires manufacturers to implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz. Page 5 Chapter 1: Product description Important regulatory information Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of ISEDC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to ISEDC . In order to comply with these ISEDC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the 450 Platform Family for operation in Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with ISEDC rules. In particular, operation of radio channels overlapping the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz is not allowed and these channels are permanently barred. In addition, other channels may also need to be barred when operating close to weather radar installations. Other variants of the 450 Platform Family are available for use in the rest of the world, but these variants are not supplied to Canada except under strict controls, when they are needed for export and deployment outside Canada.

Page 1-13 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Wireless operation This section describes how the 450 Platform Family wireless link is operated, including modulation modes, power control and security. Time division duplexing The system uses Time Division Duplexing (TDD) one channel alternately transmits and receives rather than using one channel for transmitting and a second channel for receiving. To accomplish TDD, the AP/BHM must provide sync to its SM/BHS. Furthermore, collocated APs/BHMs must be synced together an unsynchronized AP/BHM that transmits during the receive cycle of a collocated AP/BHM can prevent a second AP/BHM from being able to decode the signals from its APs/BHSs. In addition, across a geographical area, APs/BHMs that can hear each other benefit from using a common sync to further reduce self-interference within the network. Modules use TDD on a common frequency to divide frames for uplink (orange) and downlink
(green) usage, as shown in the figure below. For more information on synchronization configuration options, see GPS synchronization on page 2-42. Figure 2 TDD frame division Time Page 1-14 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation TDD frame parameters The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following:
Channel Bandwidth Cyclic Prefix Frame Period Frame configuration - Downlink Data Link operation Dynamic Rate Adaptation OFDM and channel bandwidth The PMP/PTP 450 Platform Family transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
(OFDM). This wideband signal consists of many equally spaced sub-carriers. Although each sub carrier is modulated at a low rate using conventional modulation schemes, the resultant data rate from the sub-carriers is high. OFDM works exceptionally over a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) channel. The channel bandwidth of the OFDM signal is configurable to one of the following values: 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 MHz. Higher bandwidths provide greater link capacity at the expense of using more bandwidth. Systems configured for a narrower channel bandwidth provide better receiver sensitivity and can also be an appropriate choice in deployments where the amount of free spectrum is limited. Note The channel bandwidth must be configured to the same value at both ends of the link. Not all channel bandwidths are available in all regulatory bands. Cyclic Prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. For your convenience, the 450 Platform Family ODUs have been locked to a 1/16 CP. Frame Period The frame period or frame duration is the time between the beginning of a frame and the end of the frame. The 450 Platform Family supports two frame periods: 2.5 ms and 5 ms. Note PMP 450m AP supports 2.5 ms Frame Period only. Page 1-15 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation The 5ms frame period configuration provides higher throughput as a result of reduced frame overhead during transmission. In turn, the 2.5 ms frame period configuration affords reduced latency in the system, half of that introduced by the 5 ms frame configuration. Frame configuration - Downlink Data The percentage of frame assigned to transport downlink data. The downlink data specifies the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted from the AP/BHM to the subscriber). The configurable range is 15 to 85 percent. Link operation Dynamic Rate Adapt The 450 Platform Family ODUs offer eight levels or speeds of operation 2X MIMO-B and 1X MIMO-A (QPSK), 4X MIMO-B and 2X MIMO-A (16-QAM), 6x MIMO-B and 3X MIMO-A (64-QAM) and 8X MIMO-B and 4X MIMO-A (265-QAM). If received power varies due to distance between the AP/BHM and the SM/BHS or due to obstructions, or if interference affects the RF environment, the system automatically and dynamically adjusts the links to the best operation level. The system chooses its modulation rate dynamically, based on an internal ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) error control method. With ARQ, every data slot of every frame sent over the air (except downlink broadcast) is expected to be acknowledged by the receiver, and if acknowledgement is not received, the data is resent. The sending unit monitors these re-sends and adjusts the modulation rate accordingly. It is normal to have links that change levels of operation as the RF environment changes. Furthermore, the uplink or downlink portions of TDD duty cycle operate independently. The various modulation levels used by 450 Platform Family are shown in Table 9. Table 9 Modulation levels Rate MIMO-B MIMO-A QPSK 2X MIMO-B 1X MIMO-A 16-QAM 4X MIMO-B 2X MIMO-A 64-QAM 6X MIMO-B 3X MIMO-A 256-QAM 8X MIMO-B 4X MIMO-A Note MIMO-A achieves half the throughput of MIMO-B but adds a combining diversity (gain) which enhances the link budget or availability. Page 1-16 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Encryption The 450 Platform Family supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The 450 Platform Family supports the following forms of encryption for security of the wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys and 256-bit key size to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. The default setting on an AP is "Disabled". MIMO Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and increase the probability that the receiver decodes a usable signal. When the effects of MIMO are combined with those of OFDM techniques and a high link budget, there is a high probability of a robust connection over a non-line-of-sight path. The sub-features that comprises the MIMO techniques utilized in the 450 Platform Family ODUs are:
MIMO-A: This technique enables 450 Platform Family radio to use a scheme that optimizes coverage by transmitting the same data over both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver making it more robust. MIMO-B: This technique provides for the ability to double the throughput of a radio transmission under proper RF conditions. Different data streams are transmitted simultaneously on two different antennas. MU-MIMO Multiple-input multiple-output, or MIMO, is a range of technologies used to multiply the capacity of a wireless connection without requiring more spectrum. Although traditional MIMO techniques are focused on increasing the bandwidth available between two wireless nodes, multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) applies these technologies to increase overall wireless network capacity by allowing an access point to communicate wirelessly with more than one wireless node at once. A MU-MIMO access point features an array of antennas.. When the AP decides to communicate with multiple nodes at the same time, it creates multiple simultaneous beams each directed to a specific node. Page 1-17 Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation This is contrast to a traditional wireless system, where two wireless nodes cannot communicate on the same channel to the same access point at the same time, without causing significant self-
interference and degrading the overall wireless network performance. A MU-MIMO access point estimates and measures what a transmission from each wireless node sounds like, by applying knowledge of the wireless path characteristics between the access point and node. Known as channel estimation, this process is of vital importance; without it, the access point cannot distinguish properly between wireless nodes, affecting performance. Channel estimation is achieved by the access point sending a specific signal to a wireless node, which the node then reflects back. By measuring how the signal was received back from the node, the access point can estimate the wireless conditions between itself and the node, and know to expect these same conditions to be applied to other communications from that node. This is known as channel sounding. Channel estimation and sounding must be regularly repeated to ensure wireless network performance remains high; the speed at which a system is able to accurately estimate the channel has a large impact on performance. Once channel estimation is completed for a wireless node, the MU-MIMO access point can electrically tune each antenna to provide the highest performance for that node. The access point uses beamforming to create a radio beam to that node which is tuned for optimum performance and avoids beams directed to other nodes, reducing interference and helping to improve overall wireless network capacity. A MU-MIMO access point can communicate to multiple wireless nodes simultaneously using this process. As the majority of nodes are unable to make full use of the whole access point capacity at once, communicating with several nodes simultaneously can greatly improve the overall capacity achieved in the wireless network. Page 1-18 Chapter 1: Product description System management System management This section introduces the 450 Platform Family management system, including the web interface, installation, configuration, alerts and upgrades. Management agent The 450 Platform Family radios are managed through an embedded management agent. Management workstations, network management systems or PCs can be connected to this agent using the modules Ethernet port or over-the air (SM/BHS) The management agent supports the following interfaces:
Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) Hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) RADIUS authentication Simple network management protocol (SNMP) v2c and v3 Network time protocol (NTP) System logging (Syslog) Wireless Manager (WM) software Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) software Web server The 450 Platform Family management agent contains a web server. The web server supports access via the HTTP/HTTPS interface. Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the 450 Platform Family radios from a locally connected computer or from a network management workstation connected through a management network, without requiring any special management software. The web and SNMP are the interfaces supported for installation of 450 Platform Family radios and for the majority of configuration management tasks. Page 1-19 Chapter 1: Product description System management Web pages The web-based management interfaces provide comprehensive web-based fault, configuration, performance and security management functions organized into the following groups:
Access Point or Backhaul Master:
Home Configuration Statistics Tools Logs Accounts Quick Start Copyright Subscriber Module or Backhaul Slave Home Configuration Statistics Tools Logs Accounts PDA Copyright Identity-based user accounts When identity-based user accounts are configured, a security officer can define from one to four user accounts, each of which may have one of the four possible roles:
ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of the root and admin users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of them creates. INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR except that the installer cannot add or delete users or change the password of any other user. TECHNICIAN, who has permissions to modify basic radio parameters and view informational web pages GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status tab Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to only see the items. See Managing module access by passwords for detailed information on account permissions. Page 1-20 Chapter 1: Product description System management Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) The PMP configuration of 450 Platform Family includes support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol functionality including:
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 not used for APs. SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP. User Authentication allows users to configure a separate User authentication server along with the SM authentication server. If firmware is upgraded while using this functionality and no User authentication servers are configured, then AP continues to use the SM authentication server for User authentication SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. Centralized AP and SM user name and password management: Allows AP and SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician and Read-Only) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events
(logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account. Framed-IP-Address: Operators may use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules. SNMP The management agent supports fault and performance management by means of an SNMP interface. The management agent is compatible with SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using Management Information Base (MIB) files which are available for download from the Cambium Networks Support website:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450 https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 Network Time Protocol (NTP) The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or without a connection to a network time server (NTP). It can be configured to display local time by setting the time zone and daylight saving in the Time web page. Page 1-21 Chapter 1: Product description System management If an NTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time at regular intervals. The 450 Platform Family radios may receive NTP data from a CMM4 module or an NTP server configured in the systems management network. The Time Zone option is configurable on the APs/BHMs Time Configuration page, and may be used to offset the received NTP time to match the operators local time zone. When set on the AP/BHM, the offset is set for the entire sector (AP/BHSs is notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time Zone change is applied, the AP/BHSs are notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some AP/BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-
registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the Event Log. An AP/BHM which is receiving NTP date and time information from an NTP server or from a GPS synchronization source may be used as an NTP server. Any client which has IP connectivity to the BHM may request NTP date and time information from the AP/BHM. No additional configuration
(other than the AP/BHM receiving valid NTP data) is required to use the AP/BHM as an NTP server.

Page 2-29 Chapter 2: System hardware Cabling Page 2-30 Chapter 2: System hardware Cabling Outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet cable Outdoor Cat5e cable is used for all connections that terminate outside the building. For example, connections between the ODU, surge suppressors (if installed), UGPS receivers (if installed) and the power supply injector. This is known as a drop cable (Figure 18). The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
Use only shielded cables and connectors to resist interference and corrosion. For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief. Include a 2 ft (0.6 m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed. Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the device. Properly crimp all connectors. Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion.

Page 2-41 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization GPS synchronization GPS synchronization description Cambium offers GPS synchronization to limit the networks own self-interference. The Cluster Management CMM provides Global Positioning System (GPS) synchronization to the Access Point
(AP) and all associated Subscriber Modules (SM). Network operators have a choice of UGPS and CMM solutions to select the option that works best for the environment. Universal GPS (uGPS) The uGPS provides network synchronization for smaller networks where a CMM may not be cost effective. The uGPS provides synchronization for one or two modules so that even remote areas at the edge of the network can operate with synchronization for improved performance. The uGPS works with all Cambium PMP radios. The uGPS has a small footprint and is easy to deploy. Figure 25 uGPS Note PMP 450/450i/450m Series - APs can power up a uGPS via the Aux/Timing port.

For operators who prefer indoor CMM mounting, Cambium offers the Rack-Mounted Cluster Management Module 4. The unit is designed to be mounted onto a standard 19-inch telecommunications rack and to allow the Cambium CMM4 to be co-located with other telecommunications equipment. Figure 30 CMM4 (Rack Mount) The CMM4 has two DC power inputs, one 29 V and one 56V. It can be used to power and synchronize both 29 V legacy products such as the PMP 450 Series and 56V products such as the PMP 450i Series simultaneously. If the 29 V legacy products are connected to the CMM4, a 29 V power supply needs to be connected. If the 450i Series is connected to the CMM4, a 56 V power supply needs to be connected. The CMM4 supports having two of the 56 V and two of the 29 V supplies for redundancy. Warning PMP 450i Series requires different wiring between the CMM4 and device. If a PMP450 Series ODU is replaced by a PMP 450i Series and the existing drop cable needs to be re-used, the Ethernet cable adapter for CMM4 - N000045L001A" must be used between the CMM4 and the existing drop cable.

Page 2-51 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization CMM4 (Cabinet with switch) Designed to deliver consistent and reliable wireless broadband service, the PMP/PTP system gracefully scales to support large deployments. The cluster management module is the heart of the systems synchronization capability which allows network operators to re-use frequencies and add capacity while ensuring consistency in the quality of service to customers. As a result, subscribers can experience carrier-grade service even at the outer edge of the network. Figure 33 CMM4 (Cabinet with switch) CMM4 (Cabinet without switch) This CMM includes all of the functionality listed above but there is no switch. This provides the network operator the flexibility to use the switch of their choice with the power and synchronization capabilities of the CMM4. Page 2-52 Chapter 2: System hardware GPS synchronization CMM3/CMMmicro The CMM3 or CMMmicro (Cluster Management Module micro) provides power, GPS timing, and networking connections for an AP cluster. The CMM3 is configurable through a web interface. The CMM3 contains an 8-port managed switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE this is Cambium PoE, not the standard 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. The CMM3 can auto-negotiate speed to match inputs that are either 100Base-TX or 10Base-T, and either full duplex or half duplex, where the connected device is set to auto-negotiate. Alternatively, these parameters are settable. A CMM3 requires only one cable, terminating in an RJ-45 connector, for each connected module to distribute Ethernet signaling. power to as many as 8 co-located modulesAPs, BHMs, or BHSs. Through a browser interface to the managed switch, ports can be powered or not. sync to APs and BHMs. The CMM3 receives 1-pulse per second timing information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites through an antenna (included) and passes the timing pulse embedded in the 24-V power to the connected modules. GPS status information is available at the CMM3, however CMM3 provides time and date information to BHMs and APs if both the CMMmicro is operating on CMMmicro Release 2.1 or later and the AP/BHM is operating on System Release 4.2 or later. See Configuring time settings on Page 7-18. CMM3 does not provide time and date information to BHMs and APs if either the CMM3 is operating on a release earlier than CMMmicro Release 2.1 or the AP/BHM is operating on a release earlier than System Release 4.2. A CMM3/CMMicro is shown in Figure 34 and Figure 35.

Site selection for PMP/PTP radios When selecting a site for the ODU, consider the following factors:
Height and location to ensure that people are kept away from the antenna; see Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-24. Height and location to achieve the best radio path. Indoor location where the power supply LED indicators will be visible, so the drop cable length will not exceed the maximum recommended length; see Power supply site selection on page 3-8. Ability to meet the requirements specified in Grounding and lightning protection on page 3-8. Aesthetics and planning permission issues. Cable lengths; see Ethernet standards and cable lengthsError! Reference source not found. on p age 2-292-25. The effect of strong winds on the installation; see ODU wind loading on page 3-11. Page 3-7 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Power supply site selection When selecting a site for the ODU power supply, consider the following factors:
Indoor location with no possibility of condensation, flooding or high humidity. Availability of a mains electricity supply. Located in an environment where it is not likely to exceed its operational temperature rating, allowing for natural convection cooling. Accessibility for viewing status indicator LED and connecting Ethernet cables. Cable lengths; see Error! Reference source not found.Ethernet standards and cable l engthsError! Reference source not found. on page 2-29. Maximum cable lengths When installing PMP/PTP 450i Series ODU, the maximum permitted length of the shielded copper Ethernet interface cable is 330 feet (100m) from AP/BHM/SM/BHS to their associated power supplies or CMM4. Grounding and lightning protection Warning Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under warranty. The recommendations in this guide, when followed correctly, give the user the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor possible. Structures, equipment and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by lightning) by conducting the surge current to ground via a separate preferential solid path. The actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. To adequately protect a PMP/PTP 450 Platform installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are required. Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the international standards IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 or section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code. Warning International and national standards take precedence over the requirements in this guide. Page 3-8 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Lightning protection zones Use the rolling sphere method (Figure 42) to determine where it is safe to mount equipment. An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), all the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection (Zone B). Similarly, where the sphere rests on two finials, the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection. Figure 42 Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones Zone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment in this zone. Zone B: In this zone, direct EMD (lightning) effects are still possible, but mounting in this zone significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike. Mount equipment in this zone. Warning Never mount equipment in Zone A. Mounting in Zone A may put equipment, structures and life at risk. Page 3-9 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Site grounding system Confirm that the site has a correctly installed grounding system on a common ground ring with access points for grounding the 450 Platform Family ODU. If the outdoor equipment is to be installed on the roof of a high building (Figure 39), confirm that the following additional requirements are met:
A grounding conductor is installed around the roof perimeter to form the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring. Air terminals are installed along the length of the main roof perimeter lightning protection ring, typically every 6.1m (20ft). The main roof perimeter lightning protection ring contains at least two down conductors connected to the grounding electrode system. The down conductors should be physically separated from one another, as far as practical. ODU and external antenna location Find a location for the ODU (and external antenna for connectorized units) that meets the following requirements:
The equipment is high enough to achieve the best radio path. People can be kept a safe distance away from the equipment when it is radiating. The safe separation distances are defined in Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page 4-24. The equipment is lower than the top of the supporting structure (tower, mast or building) or its lightning air terminal. If the ODU is connectorized, select a mounting position that gives it maximum protection from the elements, but still allows easy access for connecting and weatherproofing the cables. To minimize cable losses, select a position where the antenna cable lengths can be minimized. If diverse or two external antennas are being deployed, it is not necessary to mount the ODU at the midpoint of the antennas. ODU ambient temperature limits Select a location where the ODU can operate within safe ambient temperature limits. The following points need to be considered while selecting a location for the ODU:
The ODU must be mounted in a Restricted Access Location (as defined in EN 60950-1) if the operating ambient temperature may exceed 40C, including solar radiation. If the ambient temperature never exceeds 40C, the temperature of the external metal case parts of the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 70C. If the ambient temperature never exceeds 60C, the temperature of the external metal case parts of the ODU will not exceed the touch temperature limit of 90C. Page 3-10 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning Note A restricted access location is defined (in EN 60950-1) as one where access may only be gained by use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and access is controlled by the authority responsible for the location. Access must only be gained by persons who have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that must be taken. Examples of permissible restricted access locations are a lockable equipment room or a lockable cabinet. ODU wind loading Ensure that the ODU and the structure on which it is mounted are capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds at a proposed 450 Platform site. Wind speed statistics are available from national meteorological offices. The ODU and its mounting bracket are capable of withstanding wind speeds of:
Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450m Series AP 5 GHz Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP/PTP 450i all models 5 GHz Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP/PTP 450i 3 GHz all models Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP/PTP 450 all models Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450 Ruggedized Up to 200 mph (322 kph) for PMP 450i all models 900 MHz Up to 90 mph (145 kph) for PMP 450d Up to 100 mph (161 kph) for 900 MHz antennas Wind blowing on the ODU will subject the mounting structure to significant lateral force. The magnitude of the force depends on both wind strength and surface area of the ODU. Wind loading is estimated using the following formulae:
Force (in kilograms) = 0.1045aV2 where:
o a is the surface area in square meters, and o V is the wind speed in meters per second. Force (in pounds) = 0.0042Av2 where:
o A is the surface area in square feet, and o v is the wind speed in miles per hour. Applying these formulae to the 450 platform at different wind speeds, the resulting wind loadings are shown in below tables.

32 Deployment of ATEX/HAZLOC ODUs PTP 700 Series Hazardous Location Guide Drop cable grounding points To estimate how many grounding kits are required for each drop cable, refer to the site installation diagrams (Figure 37 , Figure 38 and Figure 39) and use the following criteria:
The drop cable shield must be grounded near the ODU at the first point of contact between the drop cable and the mast, tower or building. The drop cable shield must be grounded at the building entry point. For mast or tower installations (Figure 37), use the following additional criteria:
The drop cable shield must be grounded at the bottom of the tower, near the vertical to horizontal transition point. This ground cable must be bonded to the tower or tower ground bus bar (TGB), if installed. Page 3-15 Chapter 3: System planning Site planning If the tower is greater than 61 m (200 ft) in height, the drop cable shield must be grounded at the tower midpoint, and at additional points as necessary to reduce the distance between ground cables to 61 m (200 ft) or less. In high lightning-prone geographical areas, the drop cable shield must be grounded at spacing between 15 to 22 m (50 to 75 ft). This is especially important on towers taller than 45 m (150 ft). For roof installations (Figure 39), use the following additional criteria:
The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at its top entry point
(usually on the roof). The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at the entry point to the equipment room. Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) location Find a location for the bottom LPU that meets the following requirements:
The bottom LPU can be connected to the drop cable from the ODU. The bottom LPU is within 600 mm (24 in) of the point at which the drop cable enters the building, enclosure or equipment room within a larger building. The bottom LPU can be bonded to the grounding system. Page 3-16 Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Radio Frequency planning This section describes how to plan 450 Platform Family links to conform to analysis of spectrum and the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation. Regulatory limits Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the 450 Platform Family. Refer to Equipment Disposal (Chapter 10: Reference Information) on page 10-38 to determine what the maximum transmitted power and EIRP for PMP/PTP 450/450i Series that can be used in each of countries and frequency band. Caution It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the PMP/PTP ODU is operated in accordance with local regulatory limits. Note Contact the applicable radio regulator to find out whether or not registration of the PMP/PTP 450/450i Series link is required. Conforming to the limits Ensure the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements by configuring the PMP 450/450i Series AP or PTP 450/450i Series BHM for the correct country. In the following situations, this does not prevent operation outside the regulations:
When using connectorized ODUs with external antennas, the regulations may require the maximum transmit power to be reduced. Available spectrum The available spectrum for operation depends on the regulatory band. When configured appropriately, the unit will only allow operation on those channels which are permitted by the regulations. Page 3-17

Safety precautions All national and local safety standards must be followed while configuring the units and aligning the antennas. Warning Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units start to radiate RF energy as soon as they are powered up. Respect the safety standards defined in Compliance with safety standards on page 4-22, in particular the minimum separation distances. Observe the following guidelines:
Never work in front of the antenna when the ODU is powered. Always power down the PSU before connecting or disconnecting the drop cable from the PSU, ODU or LPU. Regulatory compliance All applicable radio regulations must be followed while configuring the units and aligning the antennas. For more information, refer to Compliance with radio regulations on page 4-31. Caution If the system designer has provided a list of channels to be barred for TDWR radar avoidance, the affected channels must be barred before the units are allowed to radiate on site, otherwise the regulations will be infringed. Attention Si le concepteur du systme a fourni une liste de canaux interdire pour viter les radars TDWR, les cannaux concernes doivent tre interdits avant que les units sont autorises mettre sur le site, sinon la rglementation peut tre enfreinte.

Note The time displayed at the top of this page is static unless your browser is set to automatically refresh Powering the SM/BHS for test Procedure 14 Powering the SM/BHS for test 1 In one hand, securely hold the top (larger shell) of the SM/BHS. With the other hand, depress the lever in the back of the base cover (smaller shell). Remove the base cover. 2 3 4 5 Plug one end of a CAT 5 Ethernet cable into the SM PSU port Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the jack in the pig tail that hangs from the power supply Roughly aim the SM/BHS toward the AP/BHM Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet Warning From this point until you remove power from the AP/BHM, stay at least as far from the AP/BHM as the minimum separation distance specified in Calculated distances and power compliance margins. 6 Repeat the foregoing steps for each SM/BHS that you wish to include in the test. Page 7-89 Chapter 7: Configuration Quick link setup Viewing the Session Status of the AP/BHM to determine test registration Once the SMs/BHS under test are powered on, return to the computing device to determine if the SM/BHS units have registered to the AP/BHM. Note In order for accurate power level readings to be displayed, traffic must be present on the radio link. The Session Status tab provides information about each SM/BHS that has registered to the AP/BHM. This information is useful for managing and troubleshooting a system. All information that you have entered in the Site Name field of the SM/BHS displays in the Session Status tab of the linked AP/BHM. The Session Status tab also includes the current active values on each SM( or BHS) (LUID) for MIR, and VLAN, as well as the source of these values (representing the SM/BHS itself, Authentication Server, or the AP/BHM and cap, if anyfor example, APCAP as shown above).. As an SM/BHS registers to the AP/BHM, the configuration source that this page displays for the associated LUID may change. After registration, however, the displayed source is stable and can be trusted. Idle subscribers may be included or removed from the session status display by enabling or disabling, respectively, the Show Idle Sessions parameter. Enabling or disabling this parameter only affects the GUI display of subscribers, not the registration status. The SessionStatus.xml hyperlink allows user to export session status page from web management interface of AP/BHM. The session status page will be exported in xml file.

Procedure 16 Configuring the AP/BHM IP interface 1 Select menu option Configuration > IP. The LAN configuration page is displayed:
2 3 4 Update IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address to meet network requirements (as specified by the network administrator). Review the other IP interface attributes and update them, if necessary (see Table 84 IP interface attributes). Click Save. Reboot Required message is displayed:
5 Click Reboot. The IP page of AP/SM/BHM/BHS is explained in Table 84. Page 7-94 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 84 IP interface attributes Attribute Meaning IP Address Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Subnet Mask Defines the address range of the connected IP network. The IP address of a computer on the current network that acts as a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets from and to other networks. DHCP state If Enabled is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable (read only), in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. DNS IP Address Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. DNS servers may be configured automatically from the DHCP response when DHCP is enabled for the management interface of the device. Optionally devices may be configured to set the DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is enabled for the management interface. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS The first address used for DNS resolution. Server Alternate DNS If the Preferred DNS server cannot be reached, the Alternate DNS Server Server is used. Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Page 7-95 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces LAN2 Network It is recommended not to change this parameter from the default Interface AP/BHM private IP address of 192.168.101.1. A /24 CIDR subnet is used to Configuration (Radio communicate with each of the SMs/BHS that are registered.

Page 7-97 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT, DHCP Server, DHCP Client and DMZ Applicable products PMP :
SM The system provides NAT (Network Address Translation) for SMs in the following combinations of NAT and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
NAT Disabled NAT with DHCP Client (DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) and DHCP Server NAT with DHCP Client(DHCP selected as the Connection Type of the WAN interface) NAT with DHCP Server NAT without DHCP NAT NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic
(separate from its address for management), terminates transport traffic and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. 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. Note When NAT is enabled, a reduction in throughput is introduced in the system (due to processing overhead). DHCP DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each SM provides the following:
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 allotment of one IP address behind the SM for a device to logically exist outside the firewall and receive network traffic. The first three octets of this IP address must be identical to the first three octets of the NAT private IP address. Page 7-98 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces 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. NAT Disabled The NAT Disabled implementation is illustrated in Figure 108. Figure 108 NAT disabled implementation NAT with DHCP Client and DHCP Server The NAT with DHCP Client and DHCP server is illustrated in Figure 109. Page 7-99 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Figure 109 NAT with DHCP client and DHCP server implementation NAT with DHCP Client Figure 110 NAT with DHCP client implementation Page 7-100 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT with DHCP Server Figure 111 NAT with DHCP server implementation NAT without DHCP Figure 112 NAT without DHCP implementation Page 7-101 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT and VPNs VPN technology provides the benefits of a private network during communication over a public network. One typical use of a VPN is to connect employees remotely (who are at home or in a different city), with their corporate network through a public Internet. Any of several VPN implementation schemes is possible. By design, NAT translates or changes addresses, and thus interferes with a VPN that is not specifically supported by a given NAT implementation. With NAT enabled, SM supports L2TP over IPSec (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol over IP Security) VPNs and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPNs. With NAT disabled, SM supports all types of VPNs. Page 7-102 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP interface with NAT disabled - SM The IP page of SM with NAT disabled is explained in Table 87. Table 87 IP attributes - SM with NAT disabled Attribute Meaning IP Address Enter the non-routable IP address to associate with the Ethernet connection on this SM. (The default IP address from the factory is 169.254.1.1.) If you forget this parameter, you must both:
physically access the module. use recovery mode to access the module configuration parameters at 169.254.1.1. See Radio recovery mode on page 1-24 Note Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. Network Specify whether the IP address of the SM must be visible to only a Accessibility device connected to the SM by Ethernet (Local) or be visible to the AP/BHM as well (Public). Subnet Mask Enter an appropriate subnet mask for the SM to communicate on the network. The default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Gateway IP Address Enter the appropriate gateway for the SM to communicate with the network. The default gateway is 169.254.0.0. DHCP state If you select Enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable, but not settable, in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. Page 7-103 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces In this tab, DHCP State is settable only if the Network Accessibility parameter in the IP tab is set to Public. This parameter is also settable in the NAT tab of the Configuration web page, but only when NAT is enabled. If the DHCP state parameter is set to Enabled in the Configuration > IP sub-menu of the SM/BHS, do not check the BootpClient option for Packet Filter Types in its Protocol Filtering tab, because doing so can block the DHCP request. (Filters apply to all packets that leave the SM via its RF interface, including those that the SM itself generates.) If you want to keep DHCP enabled and avoid the blocking scenario, select the Bootp Server option instead. This will result in responses being appropriately filtered and discarded. DHCP DNS IP Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS Address server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. DNS servers may be configured automatically from the DHCP response when DHCP is enabled for the management interface of the device. Optionally devices may be configured to set the DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is enabled for the management interface. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS The first DNS server used for DNS resolution. Server Alternate DNS The second DNS server used for DNS resolution. Server Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Page 7-104 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP interface with NAT enabled - SM The IP page of SM with NAT enabled is explained in Table 88. Table 88 IP attributes - SM with NAT enabled Attribute Meaning IP Address Assign an IP address for SM/BHS management through Ethernet access to the SM/BHS. Set only the first three bytes. The last byte is permanently set to 1. This address becomes the base for the range of DHCP-assigned addresses. Subnet Mask Assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a more restrictive subnet mask. Set only the last byte of this subnet mask. Each of the first three bytes is permanently set to 255. Page 7-105 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT tab with NAT disabled - SM The NAT tab of SM with NAT disabled is explained in Table 89. Table 89 NAT attributes - SM with NAT disabled Page 7-106 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning NAT Enable/Disable This parameter enables or disables the Network Address Translation
(NAT) feature for the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP/BHM, but this may constrain network design. IP Address This field displays the IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. Subnet Mask This field displays the subnet mask for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. Gateway IP Address This field displays the gateway IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this address when NAT is disabled. ARP Cache Timeout If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes), enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field is 20 minutes. TCP Session Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter Garbage Timeout to lower than the default value of 120 minutes. This action makes additional resources available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates. UDP Session You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based Garbage Timeout on network performance. The default value of this parameter is 4 minutes. Translation Table Total number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer Size between the connected device and the SM/BHS. Page 7-107 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Note When NAT is disabled, the following parameters are not required to be configurable:

Table 90 NAT attributes - SM with NAT enabled Page 7-109 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning NAT Enable/Disable This parameter enables or disabled the Network Address Translation
(NAT) feature for the SM. NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet or wired side of a SM from being seen directly from the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet or wired side of the SM. When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP, but this may constrain network design. WAN Interface The WAN interface is the RF-side address for transport traffic. Connection Type This parameter may be set to Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must be properly populated. DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the DHCP server configures the interface. PPPoEwhen this is the selection, the information from the PPPoE server configures the interface. Subnet Mask If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM for RF transport traffic. Gateway IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM for RF transport traffic. Reply to Ping on By default, the radio interface does not respond to pings. If you use a WAN Interface management system (such as WM) that will occasionally ping the SM, set this parameter to Enabled. LAN Interface The LAN interface is both the management access through the Ethernet port and the Ethernet-side address for transport traffic. When NAT is enabled, this interface is redundantly shown as the NAT Network Interface Configuration on the IP tab of the Configuration web page in the SM. IP Address Assign an IP address for SM/BHS management through Ethernet access to the SM. This address becomes the base for the range of DHCP-
assigned addresses. Subnet Mask Assign a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 or a more restrictive subnet mask. Set only the last byte of this subnet mask. Each of the first three bytes is permanently set to 255. DMZ Enable Either enable or disable DMZ for this SM/BHS. Page 7-110 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DMZ IP Address If you enable DMZ in the parameter above, set the last byte of the DMZ host IP address to use for this SM when DMZ is enabled. Only one such address is allowed. The first three bytes are identical to those of the NAT private IP address. Ensure that the device that receives network traffic behind this SM is assigned this address. The system provides a warning if you enter an address within the range that DHCP can assign. DHCP Server This is the server (in the SM) that provides an IP address to the device DHCP Server Enable/Disable connected to the Ethernet port of the SM. Select either Enabled or Disabled. Enable to:
Allow this SM to assign IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway IP addresses to attached devices. Assign a start address for DHCP. Designate how many IP addresses may be temporarily used (leased). Disable to:
Restrict SM/BHS from assigning addresses to attached devices. DHCP Server Lease Based on network performance, enter the number of days between Timeout when the DHCP server assigns an IP address and when that address expires. The range of values for this parameter is 1 to 30 days. The default value is 30 days. DHCP Start IP If you enable DHCP Server below, set the last byte of the starting IP address that the DHCP server assigns. The first three bytes are identical to those of the NAT private IP address. Number of IPs to Enter how many IP addresses the DHCP server is allowed to assign. The Lease default value is 50 addresses. DNS Server Proxy This parameter enables or disables advertisement of the SM/BHS as the DNS server. On initial boot up of a SM with the NAT WAN interface configured as DHCP or PPPoE, the SM module will not have DNS information immediately. With DNS Server Proxy disabled, the clients will renew their lease about every minute until the SM has the DNS information to give out. At this point the SM will go to the full configured lease time period which is 30 days by default. With DNS Server Proxy enabled, the SM will give out full term leases with its NAT LAN IP as the DNS server. DNS IP Address Select either:
Obtain Automatically to allow the system to set the IP address of the DNS server or Set Manually to enable yourself to set both a preferred and an alternate DNS IP address. Preferred DNS IP Enter the preferred DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address Address parameter is set to Set Manually. Page 7-111 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Alternate DNS IP Enter the DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is Address set to Set Manually and no response is received from the preferred DNS IP address. Remote To offer greater flexibility in IP address management, the NAT-enabled Management SMs configured WAN Interface IP address may now be used as the Interface device Remote Management Interface (unless the SMs PPPoE client is set to Enabled) Disable: When this interface is set to Disable, the SM is not directly accessible by IP address. Management access is only possible through either the LAN (Ethernet) interface or a link from an AP web page into the WAN (RF-side) interface. Enable (Standalone Config): When this interface is set to Enable
(Standalone Config), to manage the SM/BHS the device must be accessed by the IP addressing information provided in the Remote Configuration Interface section. Note When configuring PPPoE over the link, use this configuration option (PPPoE traffic is routed via the IP addressing specified in section Remote Configuration Interface). Enable (Use WAN Interface): When this interface is set to Enable (Use WAN Interface), the Remote Configuration Interface information is greyed out, and the SM is managed via the IP addressing specified in section WAN Interface). Note When using this configuration, the ports defined in section Configuration, Port Configuration are consumed by the device. For example, if FTP Port is configured as 21 by the SM, an FTP server situated below the SM must use a port other than 21. This also applies to DMZ devices; any ports specified in section Configuration, Port Configuration will not be translated through the NAT, they is consumed by the devices network stack for management. Connection Type This parameter can be set to:
Static IPwhen this is the selection, all three parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address) must be properly populated. DHCPwhen this is the selection, the information from the DHCP server configures the interface. IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the IP address of the SM for RF management traffic. Subnet Mask If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM for RF management traffic. Page 7-112 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Gateway IP Address If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM for RF management traffic. Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module. DHCP DNS IP Select either:
Address Obtain Automatically to allow the system to set the IP address of the DNS server. or Set Manually to enable yourself to set both a preferred and an alternate DNS IP address. Preferred DNS Enter the preferred DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address Server parameter is set to Set Manually. Alternate DNS Enter the DNS IP address to use when the DNS IP Address parameter is Server set to Set Manually and no response is received from the preferred DNS IP address. Domain Name Domain Name to use for management DNS configuration. This domain name may be concatenated to DNS names used configured for the remote configuration interface. ARP Cache Timeout If a router upstream has an ARP cache of longer duration (as some use 30 minutes), enter a value of longer duration than the router ARP cache. The default value of this field is 20 (minutes). TCP Session Where a large network exists behind the SM, you can set this parameter Garbage Timeout to lower than the default value of 120 (minutes). This action makes additional resources available for greater traffic than the default value accommodates. UDP Session You may adjust this parameter in the range of 1 to 1440 minutes, based Garbage Timeout on network performance. The default value of this parameter is 4
(minutes). Page 7-113 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT DNS Considerations - SM SM DNS behavior is different depending on the accessibility of the SM. When NAT is enabled the DNS configuration that is discussed in this document is tied to the RF Remote Configuration Interface, which must be enabled to utilize DNS Client functionality. Note that the WAN DNS settings when NAT is enabled are unchanged with the addition of the management DNS feature discussed in this document.

Table 92 NAT Port Mapping attributes - SM Attribute Meaning Port Map 1 to 10 Separate parameters allow you to distinguish NAT ports from each other by assigning a unique combination of port number, protocol for traffic through the port, and IP address for access to the port Page 7-114 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DHCP BHS Applicable products PTP: BHM DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system. In conjunction with the NAT features, each BHS provides:
A DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the BHS by Ethernet protocol. A DHCP client that receives an IP address for the BHS from a network DHCP server. Reconnecting to the management PC If the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address of the unit have been updated to meet network requirements, then reconfigure the local management PC to use an IP address that is valid for the network. See Configuring the management PC on page 7-73. Once the unit reboots, log in using the new IP address. See Logging into the web interface on page 7-75. VLAN configuration for PMP Applicable products PMP : AP SM VLAN Remarking VLAN Remarking feature allows the user to change the VLAN ID and priority of both upstream and downstream packets at the Ethernet Interface. The remarking configuration is available for:
1. VLAN ID re-marking 2. 802.1p priority re-marking Note For Q-in-Q VLAN tagged frame, re-marking is performed on the outer tag. Page 7-115 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN ID Remarking SM supports the ability to re-mark the VLAN ID on both upstream and downstream VLAN frames at the Ethernet interface. For instance, a configuration can be added to re-mark VLAN ID x to VLAN ID y as shown in Table 93. AP does not support VLAN ID remarking. Table 93 VLAN Remarking Example VLAN frame direction Remarking SM receives VLAN ID x frame at the Ethernet interface, checks the configuration and re-marks to VLAN ID y. So VLAN ID y frame Upstream comes out of APs Ethernet interface. When SM re-marks, a dynamic entry in VLAN membership table for y is added to allow reception of VLAN ID y downstream packet. AP receives VLAN ID y frame at the Ethernet interface and sends to SM. SM accepts the frame as it has an entry in the membership table and re-marks to VLAN ID x. This reverse re- marking is necessary because the downstream devices do not know of re-
marking and are expecting VLAN x frames. This remarking is done just before sending the packet out on Ethernet interface. Downstream 802.1P Remarking AP/BHM and SM/BHS allow re-marking of 802.1p priority bits for the frames received at the Ethernet interface. Priority bits are not re-marked for the packets sent out of Ethernet interface
(reverse direction). Configuration must be added at SM/BHS for upstream frames and at AP/BHM for downstream frames. VLAN Priority Bits configuration VLAN Priority Bits Configuration feature allows the user to configure the three 802.1p bits upon assigning VLAN to an ingress packet. The priority bits configuration is available for:
Default Port VID Provider VID MAC Address mapped Port VID Management VID Default Port VID This VID is used for untagged frames and will correspond to the Q-Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is QinQ). The priority bits used in the Q-tag/C-tag are configurable. The configuration can be:
Page 7-116 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Promote IPv4/IPv6 priority The priority in the IP header is copied to the Q-tag/C-tag. Define priority Specify the priority in the range of 0 to 7. This value is used as priority in the Q-tag/C-tag. MAC Address Mapped VID If a packet arrives at the SM/BHS that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frames Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (QinQ port). The priority bits used in the Q-tag/C-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Provider VID The provider VID is used for the S-tag. The priority bits used in the S-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Provider VID has an extra priority configuration:
Copy inner tag 802.1p priority The priority in the C-tag is copied to the S-tag. Management VID This VID is used to communicate with AP/BHM and SM/BHS for management purposes. The priority bits used in the Q-tag are configurable similar to default port VID. Use APs Management VID for ICC connected SM This feature allows the SM to use the APs management VLAN ID when the SM is registered to the AP via ICC. This feature is useful for the customer who uses a different management VID for the SM and AP and Zero Touch feature is enabled for configuration. This parameter may be accessed via the Configuration > VLAN page on the APs web management interface. Page 7-117 Chapter 7: Configuration VLAN page of AP The VLAN tab of the AP/BHM is explained in Table 94. Table 94 AP/BHM VLAN tab attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Specify whether VLAN functionality for the AP and all linked SMs must
(Enabled) or may not (Disabled) be allowed. The default value is Disabled. Always use Local Enable this option before you reboot this AP as a SM to use it to perform VLAN Config spectrum analysis. Once the spectrum analysis completes, disable this option before you reboot the module as an AP, Allow Frame Types Select the type of arriving frames that the AP must tag, using the VID that is stored in the Untagged Ingress VID parameter. The default value is All Frames. Dynamic Learning Specify whether the AP must (Enabled) or not (Disabled) add the VLAN IDs (VIDs) of upstream frames to the VID table. (The AP passes frames with VIDs that are stored in the table both upstream and downstream.). The default value is Enabled. Page 7-118 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN Aging Timeout Specify how long the AP must keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). Note VIDs that you enter for the Management VID and VLAN Membership parameters do not time out. Management VID Enter the VID that the operator wishes to use to communicate with the module manager. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. QinQ EtherType Modules can be configured with 802.1ad Q-in-Q DVLAN (Double-VLAN) tagging which is a way for an operator to put an 802.1Q VLAN inside of an 802.1ad VLAN. A nested VLAN, which is the original 802.1Q tag and a new second 802.1ad tag, allows for bridging of VLAN traffic across a network and segregates the broadcast domains of 802.1Q VLANs. Q-in-Q can be used with PPPoE and/or NAT. The 802.1ad standard defines the S-VLAN as the Service Provider VLAN and the C-VLAN as the customer VLAN. The radio software does 2 layer Q-in-Q whereby the C-VLAN is the 802.1Q tag and the S-VLAN is the second layer Q tag as shown below:
Table 95 Q-in-Q Ethernet frame Ethernet S-VLAN C-VLAN EthType IP Data EthType Header EthType 0x88a8 0x8100 0x0800 The 802.1ad S-VLAN is the outer VLAN that is configurable on the Configuration > VLAN web page of the AP. The Q-in-Q EtherType parameter is configured with a default EtherType of 0x88a8 in addition to four alternate EtherTypes that can be configured to aid in interoperability with existing networks that use a different EtherType than the default. The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top level concept, this operates on the outermost tag at any given time, either pushing a tag on or popping a tag off. This means packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag pushed on) or an untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag popped off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.1Q frame (with the tag popped off) since the radio software only supports 2 levels of tags Use AP's This field allows the SM to use the APs management VLAN ID when the Management VID for SM is registered to the AP via ICC. ICC connected SM Page 7-119 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN Not Active When VLAN is enabled in the AP, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. VLAN Membership For each VLAN in which you want the AP to be a member, enter the Table Configuration VLAN ID and then click the Add Member button. Similarly, for any VLAN in which you want the AP to no longer be a member, enter the VLAN ID and then click the Remove Member button. VLAN Membership This field lists the VLANs that an AP is a member of. As the user adds a table number between 1 and 4094, this number is populated here. Source VLAN
(Range: 1-4094) Enter the VID for which the operator wishes to remark the 802.1p priority for the downstream packets. The range of values is 1 to 4094. The default value is 1. Remark Priority This is the priority you can assign to the VLAN Tagged packet. Priority of
(Range 0-7) 0 is the highest. VLAN Remarking As the user enters a VLAN and a Remarking priority, this information is table added in this table. Page 7-120 Chapter 7: Configuration VLAN page of SM The VLAN tab of SM/BHS is explained in Table 96. Table 96 SM VLAN attributes Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Port Type By default this is Q, indicating that it is to operate in the existing manner. The other option is Q-in-Q, which indicates that it must be adding and removing the S-Tag, and adding a C-Tag if necessary for untagged packets. The VLAN Port type corresponds to the Ethernet port of the SM/BHS. Currently, the internal management interfaces will always operate as Q ports. Page 7-121 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Accept QinQ Frames This option is valid for the Q-in-Q port so that the user may force blocking of existing 802.1ad Q-in-Q frames. This way, only untagged or single tagged packets will come in and out of the Ethernet interface. If a Q-in-Q frame is about ingress or egress the Ethernet interface and this is disabled, it is dropped and a filter entry will show up on the VLAN Statistics page as DVLAN Egress or DVLAN Ingress. Allow Frame Types Select the type of arriving frames that the SM must tag, using the VID that is stored in the Untagged Ingress VID parameter. The default value is All Frames. Tagged Frames Only: The SM only tags incoming VLAN-tagged frames Untagged Frames Only: The SM will only tag incoming untagged frames Dynamic Learning Specify whether the SM must (Enable) or not (Disable) add the VIDs of upstream frames (that enter the SM through the wired Ethernet interface) to the VID table. The default value is Enable. VLAN Aging Timeout Specify how long the SM/BHS must keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). Note VIDs that you enter for the Untagged Ingress VID and Management VID parameters do not time out. Management VID Enter the VID that the SM/BHS must share with the AP/BHM. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1. SM Management Specify whether to allow the SM/BHS (Enabled) or the AP/RADIUS VID Pass-through
(Disabled) to control the VLAN settings of this SM. The default value is Enabled. When VLAN is enabled in the AP to whom this SM is registered, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not. If disabled, MVID traffic is not allowed to or from the SM wired interface. Also, if Management VID is the same as a Port VID (Default or MAC-
based), then this setting is ignored and assumed to be Enabled. Default Port VID This is the VID that is used for untagged frames and will correspond to the Q-Tag for 802.1Q frames (if VLAN Port Type is Q), or the C-Tag for 802.1ad frames (if the VLAN Port Type is Q-in- Q). Page 7-122 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Port VID MAC These parameters allow operators to place specific devices onto Address Mapping different VLANs (802.1Q tag or 802.1ad C-tag) based on the source MAC address of the packet. If the MAC address entry is 00-00-00-00-00-
00 then that entry is not used. If a packet arrives at the SM that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frames Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (Q-
in-Q port). If there is no match, then the Default Port VID is used. This table is also used in the downstream direction for removal of the tag based on the destination MAC address so that an untagged (for Q port) or Q-Tagged (for Q-in-Q port) frame is delivered to the end device. You may use wildcards for the non-OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) portion of the MAC address, which is the last 3 bytes. MAC addresses contain 6 bytes, the first 3 of which are the OUI of the vendor that manufactured the device and the last 3 are unique to that vendor OUI. If you want to cover all devices from a known vendors OUI, you have to specify 0xFF for the remaining 3 bytes. So, for example, if you wanted all devices from a specific vendor with an OUI of 00-95-5b
(which is a Netgear OUI) to be on the same VID of 800, you have to specify an entry with MAC address 00-95-5b-ff-ff-ff. Then, any device underneath of the SM with MAC addresses starting with 00-95-5b is put on VLAN 800. Provider VID The provider VID is used for the S-tag. It is only used if the Port Type is Q-in-Q and will always be used for the S-tag. If an existing 802.1Q frame arrives, the Provider VID is what is used for adding and removing of the outer S-tag. If an untagged frame arrives to a Q-in-Q port, then the Provider VID is the S-tag and the Default Port VID (or Port VID MAC Address Mapping, if valid) is used for the C-tag. Active Configuration, This is the value of the parameter of the same name, configured above.

Set, VID Number Active Configuration, For each VID number in the first column, the entry in this column Current VID Member correlates the way in which the module became and continues to be a Set, Type member:
PermanentThis indicates that the module was assigned the VID number through direct configuration by the operator. DynamicThis indicates that the module adopted the VID number through enabled dynamic learning, when a tagged packet from a SM behind it in the network or from a customer equipment that is behind the SM in this case, was read. Active Configuration, For each VID number in the first column of the table, the entry in this Current VID Member column reflects whether or when the VID number will time out:
Set, Age Permanent type - Number never times out and this is indicated by the digit 0. Dynamic type - Age reflects what is configured in the VLAN Aging Timeout parameter in the Configuration => VLAN tab of the AP or reflects a fewer number of minutes that represents the difference between what was configured and what has elapsed since the VID was learned. Each minute, the Age decreases by one until, at zero, the AP deletes the learned VID, but can it again from packets sent by elements that are beneath it in the network. Note Values in this Active Configuration block can differ from attempted values in configurations:
The AP can override the value that the SM has configured for SM Management VID Pass-Through.

Page 7-128 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces PPPoE page of SM Applicable products PMP :
SM Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a protocol that encapsulates PPP frames inside Ethernet frames (at Ethernet speeds). Benefits to the network operator may include Access control Service monitoring Generation of statistics about activities of the customer Re-use of infrastructure and operational practices by operators who already use PPP for other networks PPPoE options are configurable for the SM only, and the AP indicates whether or not PPPoE is enabled for a specific subscriber. When PPPoE is enabled, once the RF session comes up between the SM and the AP, the SM will immediately attempt to connect to the PPPoE Server. You can monitor the status of this by viewing the PPPoE Session Log in the Logs section (Administrator only). Every time the RF session comes up, the SM will check the status of the link and if it is down, the SM will attempt to redial the link if necessary depending on the Timer Type. Also, on the Configuration page, the user may Connect or Disconnect the session manually. This can be used to override the session to force a manual disconnect and/or reconnect if there is a problem with the session. In order to enable PPPoE, NAT MUST be enabled on the SM and Translation Bridging MUST be disabled on the AP. These items is strictly enforced for you when you are trying to enable PPPoE. A message will indicate any prerequisites not being met. Also, the NAT Public IP DHCP client cannot be enabled, because the NAT Public IP is received through the IPCP process of the PPPoE discovery stages. The pre-requisites are:
NAT MUST be enabled on the SM o NAT DHCP Client is disabled automatically. The NAT public IP is received from the PPPoE Server. o NAT Public Network Interface Configuration will not be used and must be left to defaults. Also NAT Public IP DHCP is disabled if it is enabled. Translation Bridging MUST be DISABLED on the AP o This will only be determined if the SM is in session since the SM wont know the AP configuration otherwise. If the SM is not in session, PPPoE can be enabled but if the SM goes into session to a Translation Bridge-enabled AP, then PPPoE will not be enabled. The PPPoE configuration parameters are explained in Table 100. Page 7-129 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 100 SM PPPoE attributes Attribute Meaning Access Concentrator An optional entry to set a specific access concentrator to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is blank, the SM will accept the first access concentrator which matches the service name (if specified). This is limited to 32 characters. Service Name An optional entry to set a specific service name to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is left blank the SM will accept the first service option that comes back from the access concentrator specified above, if any. This is limited to 32 characters. Authentication Type None means that no PPPoE authentication is implemented CHAP/PAP means that CHAP authentication is attempted first, then PAP authentication. The same password is used for both types. User Name This is the CHAP/PAP user name that is used if CHAP/PAP authentication is selected. If None is selected for authentication then this field is unused. This is limited to 32 characters. Password This is the CHAP/PAP password that is used if PAP authentication is selected. If None is selected for authentication then this field is unused. This is limited to 32 characters. MTU Use MTU Received from PPPoE Server causes the SM to use the MRU of the PPPoE server received in LCP as the MTU for the PPPoE link. Page 7-130 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Use User Defined MTU allows the operator to specify an MTU value to use to override any MTU that may be determined in the LCP phase of PPPoE session setup. If this is selected, the user is able to enter an MTU value up to 1492. However, if the MTU determined in LCP negotiations is less than this user-specified value, the SM will use the smaller value as its MTU for the PPPoE link. Timer Type Keep Alive is the default timer type. This timer will enable a keepalive that will check the status of the link periodically. The user can set a keepalive period. If no data is seen from the PPPoE server for that period, the link is taken down and a reconnection attempt is started. For marginal links, the keep alive timer can be useful so that the session will stay alive over periodic dropouts. The keepalive timer must be set such that the session can outlast any session drop. Some PPPoE servers will have a session check timer of their own so that the timeouts of the server and the SM are in sync, to ensure one side does not drop the session prematurely. Idle Timeout enables an idle timer that checks the usage of the link from the customer side. If there is no data seen from the customer for the idle timeout period, the PPPoE session is dropped. Once data starts flowing from the customer again, the session is started up again. This timer is useful for users who may not be using the connection frequently. If the session is idle for long periods of time, this timer will allow the resources used by the session to be returned to the server. Once the connection is used again by the customer, the link is reestablished automatically. Timer Period The length in seconds of the PPPoE keepalive timer. TCP MSS Clamping If this is enabled, then the SM will alter TCP SYN and SYN-ACK packets by changing the Maximum Segment Size to be compatible with the current MTU of the PPPoE link. This way, the user does not have to worry about MTU on the client side for TCP packets. The MSS is set to the current MTU 40 (20 bytes for IP headers and 20 bytes for TCP headers). This will cause the application on the client side to not send any TCP packets larger than the MTU. If the network is exhibiting large packet loss, try enabling this option. This may not be an option on the PPPoE server itself. The SM will NOT reassemble IP fragments, so if the MTUs are incorrect on the end stations, then MSS clamping will solve the problem for TCP connections. Page 7-131 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP4 and IPv6 Applicable products PMP : AP SM PTP: BHM BMS IPv4 and IPv6 Prioritization 450 Platform Family provides operators the ability to prioritize IPv6 traffic in addition to IPv4 traffic. IPv6/IPv4 prioritization can be configured by selecting a CodePoint and the corresponding priority from the GUI of the AP/BHM and the IPv6/IPv4 packet is set up accordingly. There is no GUI option for selecting IPv6 or IPv4 priority. Once the priority is set, it is set for IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Priority IPv4 and IPv6 prioritization is set using the DiffServ tab on the AP/BHM and SM/BHS (located at Configuration > DiffServ). A priority set to a specific CodePoint will apply to both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. Table 101 DiffServ attributes AP/BHM Attribute Meaning CodePoint 1 through Priorities of 0 through 3 map to the low-priority channel; 4 through 7 to CodePoint 47 the high- priority channel. The mappings are the same as 802.1p VLAN CodePoint 49 priorities. Consistent with RFC 2474 through CodePoint CodePoint 0 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 0 (low-priority 55 CodePoint 57 through CodePoint 63 channel). CodePoint 48 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 6 (high-priority channel). CodePoint 56 is predefined to a fixed priority value of 7 (high-
priority channel). Page 7-132 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Operator cannot change any of these three fixed priority values. Among the settable parameters, the priority values (and therefore the handling of packets in the high or low priority channel) are set in the AP/BHM for all downlinks within the sector and in the SM/BHS for each uplink. CodePoint Select This represents the CodePoint Selection to be modified via Priority Select Priority Select The priority setting input for the CodePoint selected in CodePoint Select Priority Precedence Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. PPPoE Control Operators may configure the AP/BHM to utilize the high priority channel Message Priority for PPPoE control messages. Configuring the AP/BHM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the AP/BHM. IPv4 and IPv6 Filtering The operator can filter (block) specified IPv6 protocols including IPv4 and ports from leaving the AP/BHM and SM/BHS and entering the network. This protects the network from both intended and inadvertent packet loading or probing by network users. By keeping the specified protocols or ports off the network, this feature also provides a level of protection to users from each other. Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 Filtering IPv6 filters are set using the Protocol Filtering tab on the AP/BHM and SM/BHS (at Configuration >
Protocol Filtering). Once a filter is set for a packet type, those packets will not be sent over the RF interface depending on Filter Direction setting. Page 7-133 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 102 Packet Filter Configuration attributes Attribute Meaning Packet Filter Types For any box selected, the Protocol and Port Filtering feature blocks the associated protocol type. To filter packets in any of the user-defined ports, you must do all of the following:

Page 7-135 Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Upgrading the software version and using CNUT This section consists of the following procedures:
Checking the installed software version on page 7-136 Upgrading to a new software version on page 7-136 Caution If the link is operational, ensure that the remote end of the link is upgraded first using the wireless connection, and then the local end can be upgraded. Otherwise, the remote end may not be accessible. Use CNUT 4.10.4 or later version and always refer to the software release notes before upgrading system software. The release notes are available at:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450 Checking the installed software version To check the installed software version, follow these instructions:
Procedure 18 Checking the installed software version 1 2 Click on General tab under Home menu. Note the installed Software Version (under Device Information):
PMP/PTP 450/450i/450m 3 Go to the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1) and find Point-
to-Multipoint software updates. Check that the latest 450 Platform Family software version is the same as the installed Software Version. 4 To upgrade software to the latest version, see Upgrading to a new software version on page 7-136. Upgrading to a new software version All 450 platform modules are upgraded using the Canopy Network Updater Tool. The Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) manages and automates the software upgrade process for a Canopy radio, 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/BHM while using the Autoupdate feature) to upgrade the modules. Page 7-136 Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Note Please ensure that you have the most up-to-date version of CNUT by browsing to the Customer Support Web Page located:
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support/management-tools/cnut This section includes an example of updating a single unit before deployment. System-wide upgrading procedures may be found in the CNUT Online Help manual, which can be found on the Cambium support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1). CNUT functions The Canopy Network Updater tool has the following functions:
Automatically discovers all network elements Executes a UDP command that initiates and terminates the Auto-update mode within APs/BHMs. This command is both secure and convenient:
o For security, the AP/BHM accepts this command from only the IP address that you specify in the Configuration page of the AP/BHM. o For convenience, Network Updater automatically sets this Configuration parameter in the APs/BHMs to the IP address of the Network Updater server when the server performs any of the update commands. CNUT supports HTTP and HTTPS Allows you to choose the following among updating:
o Your entire network. o Only elements that you select. o Only network branches that you select. Provides a Script Engine that you can use with any script that:
o You define. o Cambium supplies. Configurability of any of the following to be the file server for image files:
o The AP/BHM, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via UDP messaging o CNUT HTTP/HTTPS Server, for upgrading via SNMP commands and monitoring via SNMP messaging. This also supports an option to either set the image order specifically for this file server or to allow the AP to determine the order. o Local TFTP Server, for traditional file serving via UDP commands and monitoring via UDP messaging. This supports setting the number of simultaneous image transfers per AP/BHM The capability to launch a test of connectivity and operational status of the local HTTP, HTTPS and TFTP file servers An interface that supports efficient specification of the proper IP address for the local file server(s) where Network Updater resides on a multi-homed computer An md5 checksum calculator utility for identifying corruption of downloaded image files before Network Updater is set to apply them. Page 7-137 Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Network element groups With the Canopy Network Updater Tool, you can identify element groups composed of network elements that you select. Identifying these element groups does the following:
Organizes the display of elements (for example, by region or by AP/BHM cluster). Allows to:
o Perform an operation on all elements in the group simultaneously. o Set group-level defaults for ftp password access and SNMP Community String (defaults that can be overridden in an individual element when necessary). Network layers A typical network contains multiple layers of elements, with each layer farther from the Point of Presence. For example, SMs (or BHS) are behind an AP/BHM and thus, in this context, at a lower layer than the AP/BHM. Correctly portraying these layers in Network Updater is essential so that Network Updater can perform radio and AP/BHM cluster upgrades in an appropriate order. Script engine Script Engine is the capability in Network Updater that executes any user-defined script against any network element or element group. This capability is useful for network management, especially for scripts that you repetitively execute across your network. The Autodiscovery capability in Network Updater finds all of your network elements. This comprehensive discovery:
Ensures that, when you intend to execute a script against all elements, the script is indeed executed against all elements. Maintains master lists of elements (element groups) against which you selectively execute scripts. The following scripts are included with CNUT:

A .zip file for use without the CNUT application. A .pkg file that the CNUT application can open. Upgrading a module prior to deployment To upgrade to a new software version, follow this:
Procedure 19 Upgrading a module prior to deployment 1 Go to the support website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1) and find Point-
to-Multipoint software updates. Download and save the required software image. 2 3 Start CNUT If you dont start up with a blank new network file in CNUT, then open a new network file with the New Network Archive operation (located at File > New Network). 4 Enter a new network element to the empty network tree5-9 using the Add Elements to Network Root operation (located at Edit > Add Elements to Network Root). 5 In the Add Elements dialogue, select a type of Access Point or Subscriber Module and enter the IP address of 169.254.1.1. 6 Make sure that the proper Installation Package is active with the Package Manager dialogue (located at Update > Manage Packages). 7 To verify connectivity with the radio, perform a Refresh, Discover Entire Network operation (located at View > Refresh/Discover Entire Network). You must see the details columns for the new element filled in with ESN and software version information. 8 Initiate the upgrade of the radio using Update Entire Network Root operation (located at Update > Update Entire Network Root). When this operation finishes, the radio is done being upgraded. Page 7-139 Chapter 7: Configuration General configuration General configuration The Configuration > General page of the AP/BMH or BHM/BHS contains many of the configurable parameters that define how the ratios operate in sector or backhaul.

(PMP 450i Series only) Ethernet connection. The default for this parameter is that all speeds are selected: Auto 100F/100H/10F/10H. In this setting, the two ends of the link automatically negotiate with each other whether the speed that they will use is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps and whether the Ethernet traffic is full duplex or half duplex. However,137 Ethernet links work best when either:
both ends are set to the same forced selection both ends are set to auto-negotiate and both have capability in least one common speed and traffic type combination. When the PoE Classification functionality is enabled and if Type 2 power is not present, the PAs do not power up and draw too much power. By default, the PoE Classification feature is disabled and the PAs will power up regardless of the classification presented by the power source. This is supported only on 450i series devices. PoE Classification configuration status also can be check under home >

Page 7-141 Chapter 7: Configuration General configuration Region From the drop-down list, select the region in which the radio is operating. Country From the drop-down list, select the country in which the radio is operating. Unlike selections in other parameters, your Country selection requires a Save Changes and a Reboot cycle before it will force the context-
sensitive GUI to display related options (for example, Alternate Frequency Carrier 1 and 2 in the Configuration > Radio tab). PMP 450i Series ODUs shipped to the United States is locked to a Region Code setting of United States. Units shipped to regions other than the United States must be configured with the corresponding Region Code to comply with local regulatory requirements. Country Code settings affect the radios in the following ways:
Maximum transmit power limiting (based on radio transmitter power plus configured antenna gain) DFS operation is enabled based on the configured region code, if applicable For more information on how transmit power limiting and DFS is implemented for each country, see the PMP 450 Planning Guide. Webpage Auto Enter the frequency (in seconds) for the web browser to automatically Update refresh the web-based interface. The default setting is 0. The 0 setting causes the web-based interface to never be automatically refreshed. Bridge Entry Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation Timeout with the existing network infrastructure. The Bridge Entry Timeout must be a longer period than the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network. Caution An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss of communication with some end users. Translation Bridging Optionally, you can configure the AP to change the source MAC address in every packet it receives from its SMs to the MAC address of the SM that bridged the packet, before forwarding the packet toward the public network. If you do, then:
Not more than 10 IP devices at any time are valid to send data to the AP from behind the SM. SM populates the Translation Table tab of its Statistics web page, displaying the MAC address and IP address of all the valid connected devices. Page 7-142 Chapter 7: Configuration General configuration Each entry in the Translation Table is associated with the number of minutes that have elapsed since the last packet transfer between the connected device and the SM. If 10 are connected and another attempts to connect:
If no Translation Table entry is older than 255 minutes, the attempt is ignored. If an entry is older than 255 minutes, the oldest entry is removed and the attempt is successful. the Send Untranslated ARP parameter in the General tab of the Configuration page can be:
Disabled, so that the AP overwrites the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them. Enabled, so that the AP forwards ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. When this feature is disabled, the setting of the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect, because all packets are forwarded untranslated
(with the source MAC address intact). Send Untranslated If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Enabled, then the Send ARP Untranslated ARP parameter can be:
Disabled - so that the AP will overwrite the MAC address in Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets before forwarding them. Enabled - so that the AP will forward ARP packets regardless of whether it has overwritten the MAC address. If the Translation Bridging parameter is set to Disabled, then the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect. SM Isolation Prevent or allow SM-to-SM communication by selecting from the following drop-down menu items:
Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs. Block SM Packets from being forwarded. This prevents both multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication. Block and Forward SM Packets to Backbone. This not only prevents multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends the packets, which otherwise are handled SM to SM, through the Ethernet port of the AP. Forward Unknown Enabled: All unknown Unicast packets (no entry in the APs bridge table) Unicast Packets received via the APs Ethernet LAN interface are forwarded to registered SMs. If the target device is situated beneath a particular SM, when the device responds the SM and AP will learn and add the device to their bridge tables so that subsequent packets to that device is bridged to the proper SM. Disabled: All unknown Unicast packets (no entry in the APs bridge table) received via the APs Ethernet LAN interface are discarded at the AP. Page 7-143 Chapter 7: Configuration General configuration Update Application Enter the address of the server to access for software updates on this AP Address and registered SMs. Prioritize TCP ACK To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements. This parameter, when enabled, can be particularly useful when running bi-direction FTP sessions over the link. If a link is primarily used for video surveillance, it is recommended to set this parameter to Disable. Multicast Destination Using Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), a module exchanges Address multicast addresses with the device to which it is wired on the Ethernet interface. Although some switches (CMM4, for example) do not pass LLDP addresses upward in the network, a radio can pass it as the value of the Multicast Destination Address parameter value in the connected device that has it populated. DHCP Relay Agent The AP may act as a DHCP relay for SMs and CPEs underneath it. The AP will make use of the DHCP Option 82 (DHCP Relay Agent Information) from RFC 3046 when performing relay functions. The AP offers two types of DHCP relay functionality:
Full Relay Information. Configuring the DHCP Full Relay Operation will take broadcast DHCP packets and send them to a Unicast server in unicast mode. This way the DHCP requests and replies can be routed like any other UDP packet. Only Insert Option 82. This option leaves the DHCP request on its broadcast domain as opposed to DHCP Full Relay Operation which will turn it into a unicast packet. In order to accommodate setting up pools or classes for different VLANs, the Option 82 field will include information to tell the server what VLAN the client is on. DHCP Server (Name The DHCP relay server may be either a DNS name or a static IP address or IP Address) in dotted decimal notation. Additionally the management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the DHCP relay server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. The default DHCP relay server addresses is 255.255.255.255 with the appending of the DNS domain name disabled. Latitude Longitude Height Physical radio location data may be configured via the Latitude, Longitude and Height fields. Latitude and Longitude is measured in Decimal Degree while the Height is calculated in Meters.

Page 7-162 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring synchronization Configuring synchronization Applicable products PMP : AP PTP: BHM This section describe synchronization options for PMP and PTP configuration. This Sync Input parameter can be configured under Sync Setting tab of Configure > General page
(see General configuration on page 7-140). PMP/PTP 450i Series has following synchronization options:
AutoSync AutoSync + Free Run Generate Sync Free Run Before GPS Sync Figure 117 Sync Setting configuration AutoSync For PTP, the BHM automatically receives sync from one of the following sources:
GPS Sync over Timing Port (UGPS, co-located AP GPS sync output, or Remote Device feed from a registered SMs GPS sync output) GPS Sync over Power Port (CMM4) Upon AP/BM power on, the AP/BHM does not transmit until a valid synchronization pulse is received from one of the sources above. If there is a loss of GPS synchronization pulse, within two seconds the AP/BHM automatically attempts to source GPS signaling from another source. In case of PMP, when there are synchronization sources on both the timing port and the power port, the power port GPS source is chosen first. If no valid GPS signal is received, the AP/BHM ceases transmission and SM/BHS registration is lost until a valid GPS signal is received again on the AP or BHM. Page 7-163 Chapter 7: Configuration AutoSync + Free Run Configuring synchronization This mode operates similarly to mode AutoSync, but if a previously received synchronization signal is lost and no GPS signaling alternative is achieved, the AP/BHM automatically changes to synchronization mode Generate Sync. While SM registration ins maintained, in this mode there is no synchronization of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; the AP/BHM will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Once a valid GPS signal is obtained again, the AP/BHM automatically switches to receiving synchronization via the GPS source and SM/BHS registration is maintained. When the Sync Input field is set to Autosync or Autosync + Free Run, other options become available to be set e.g. UGPS Power and other fields. This is true on APs and BHMs. Note In mode AutoSync + Free Run, if a GPS signal is never achieved initially, the system will not switch to Free Run mode, and SMs/BHS will not register to the AP/BHM. A valid GPS signal must be present initially for the AP to switch into Free Run mode
(and to begin self-generating a synchronization pulse). Also, When an AP/BHM is operating in Free Run mode, over a short time it will no longer be synchronized with co-located or nearby APs/BHMs (within radio range). Due to this lack of transmit and receive synchronization across APs/BHMs or across systems, performance while in Free Run mode may be degraded until the APs/BHMs operating in Free Run mode regain a external GPS synchronization source. Careful attention is required to ensure that all systems are properly receiving an external GPS synchronization pulse, and please consider Free Run mode as an emergency option. Generate Sync (factory default) This option may be used when the AP/BHM is not receiving GPS synchronization pulses from either a CMM4 or UGPS module, and there are no other APs/BHMs active within the link range. Using this option will not synchronize transmission of APs/BHMs that can hear each other; it will only generate a sync signal for the local AP/BHM and its associated SMs/BHS. Note When an AP/BHM has its "Regional Code" set to "None", The radio will not provide valid Sync Pulse Information. There is a RED warning that the radio will not transmit, but the user might expect to see a valid sync if the radio is connected to a working CMM4 or UGPS.

Encrypting radio transmissions Applicable products PMP : AP SM PTP: BHM BMS See Encrypting radio transmissions on page 3-36. Page 7-169 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Requiring SM Authentication Applicable products PMP : AP SM Through the use of a shared AP key, or an external RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server, it enhances network security by requiring SMs to authenticate when they register. For descriptions of each of the configurable security parameters on the AP, see Configuring Security on page 7-180. For descriptions of each of the configurable security parameters on the SM, see Security on page 7-185. Operators may use the APs Authentication Mode field to select from among the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate (factory default setting). Authentication Server the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its SMs and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none of the SMs is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. For more information on configuring the PMP 450 Platform network to utilize a RADIUS server, see Configuring a RADIUS server on page 7-283. Page 7-170 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Filtering protocols and ports Applicable products PMP : AP SM PTP: BHM BMS The filtering protocols and ports allows to configure filters for specified protocols and ports from leaving the AP/SM/BHM/BHS and entering the network. See Filtering protocols and ports on page 3-39. Protocol filtering page of 450 Platform Family AP/BHM The Protocol Filtering page of 450 Platform Family - AP/BHM is explained in Table 114. Table 114 AP/BHM Protocol Filtering attributes Page 7-171 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Attribute Meaning Packet Filter Types For any box selected, the Protocol and Port Filtering feature blocks the associated protocol type. To filter packets in any of the user-defined ports, must do all of the following:
Check the box for User Defined Port n (See Below) in the Packet Filter Types section of this tab. In the User Defined Port Filtering Configuration section of this tab:
provide a port number at Port #n. enable TCP and/or UDP by clicking the associated radio button Filter Direction Operators may choose to filter upstream (uplink) RF packets or downstream (downlink) RF packets. User Defined Port You can specify ports for which to block subscriber access, regardless of Filtering Configuration whether NAT is enabled. RF Telnet Access RF Telnet Access restricts Telnet access to the AP/BHM from a device PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding situated below a network SM/BHS (downstream from the AP/BHM). This is a security enhancement to restrict RF-interface sourced AP access specifically to the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address (Radio Private Address, typically 192.168.101.[LUID]). This restriction disallows unauthorized users from running Telnet commands on the AP/BHM that can change AP/BHM configuration or modifying network-critical components such as routing and ARP tables. Enabled: the AP/BHM allows downstream and upstream transmission of PPPoE PADI packets. By default, PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding is set to Enabled. Disabled: the AP/BHM disallows PPPoE PADI packets from entering the Ethernet interface and exiting the RF interface (downstream to the SM/BHS). PPPoE PADI packets are still allowed to enter the APs RF interface and exit the APs /BHMs Ethernet interface (upstream).

Allowing management only from specified IP addresses See Allowing management from only specified IP addresses on page 3-44. Restricting radio Telnet access over the RF interface RF Telnet Access restricts Telnet access to the AP from a device situated below a network SM
(downstream from the AP). This is a security enhancement to restrict RF-interface sourced AP access specifically to the LAN1 IP address and LAN2 IP address (Radio Private Address, typically 192.168.101. [LUID]). This restriction disallows unauthorized users from running Telnet commands on the AP that can change AP configuration or modifying network-critical components such as routing and ARP tables. The RF Telnet Access may be configured via the AP GUI or via SNMP commands, and RF Telnet Access is set to Enabled by default. Once RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled, if there is a Telnet session attempt to the AP originating from a device situated below the SM (or any downstream device), the attempt is dropped. This also includes Telnet session attempts originated from the SMs management interface (if a user has initiated a Telnet session to a SM and attempts to Telnet from the SM to the AP). In addition, if there are any active Telnet connections to the AP originating from a device situated below the SM (or any downstream device), the connection is dropped. This behavior must be considered if system administrators use Telnet downstream from an AP (from a registered SM) to modify system parameters. Setting RF Telnet Access to Disabled does not affect devices situated above the AP from accessing the AP via Telnet, including servers running the CNUT (Canopy Network Updater tool) application. Also, setting RF Telnet Access to Disabled does not affect any Telnet access into upstream devices (situated above or adjacent to the AP) through the AP (see Figure 120). The figure below depicts a user attempting two telnet sessions. One is targeted for the AP (orange) and one is targeted for the network upstream from the AP (green). If RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled (factory default setting), the Telnet attempt from the user to the AP is blocked, but the attempt from the user to Network is allowed to pass through the Cambium network. Figure 120 RF Telnet Access Restrictions (orange) and Flow through (green) Page 7-175 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Key Security Considerations when using the RF Telnet Access Feature To ensure that the network is fully protected from unauthorized AP Telnet sessions, the following topics must be considered:
Securing AP Clusters When working with a cluster of AP units, to eliminate potential security holes allowing Telnet access, ensure that the RF Telnet Access parameter is set to Disabled for every AP in the cluster. In addition, since users situated below the AP are able to pass Telnet sessions up through the SM and AP to the upstream network (while AP RF Telnet Access is set to Disabled), ensure that all CMM4 or other networking equipment is secured with strong passwords. Otherwise, users may Telnet to the CMM4 or other networking equipment, and subsequently access network APs (see Figure 121) via their Ethernet interfaces (since RF Telnet Access only prevents Telnet sessions originating from the APs wireless interface). Figure 121 RF Telnet Access Restriction (orange) and Potential Security Hole (green) As a common practice, AP administrator usernames and passwords must be secured with strong, non-default passwords. Restricting AP RF Telnet Access AP Telnet access via the RF interface may be configured in two ways the AP GUI and SNMP. Controlling RF Telnet Access via the AP GUI To restrict all Telnet access to the AP via the RF interface from downstream devices, follow these instructions using the AP GUI:
Procedure 20 Restricting RF Telnet access 1 Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials 2 On the AP GUI, navigate to Configuration > Protocol Filtering Page 7-176 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security 3 Under GUI heading Telnet Access over RF Interface, set RF Telnet Access to Disabled 4 Click the Save button 5 Once the Save button is clicked, all RF Telnet Access to the AP from devices situated below the AP is blocked. Note The factory default setting for RF Telnet Access is disabled and PPPoE PADI Downlink Forwarding is enabled. Page 7-177 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security Configuring SNMP Access The SNMPv3 interface provides a more secure method to perform SNMP operations. This standard provides services for authentication, data integrity and message encryption over SNMP. Refer to Planning for SNMPv3 operation on page 3-37 for details. Note The factory default setting for SNMP is SNMPv2c Only. Procedure 21 Configuring SNMPv3 1 Log into the AP GUI using administrator credentials 2 On the AP/SM GUI, navigate to Configuration > Security Page 3 Under GUI heading Security Mode, set SNMP to SNMPv3 Only 4 Click the Save Changes button 5 Go to Configuration > SNMP Page 6 Under GUI heading SNMPv3 setting, set Engine ID, SNMPv3 Security Level, SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol, SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol, SNMPv3 Read-Only User, SNMPv3 Read/Write User, SNMPv3 Trap Configuration parameters:
Engine ID :
Each radio (AP/SM/BHM/BHS) has a distinct SNMP authoritative engine identified by a unique Engine ID. While the Engine ID is configurable to the operator it is expected that the operator follow the guidelines of the SNMPEngineID defined in the SNMP-
FRAMEWORK-MIB (RFC 3411). The default Engine ID is the MAC address of the device. SNMPv3 security level, Authentication and Privacy Protocol The authentication allows authentication of SNMPv3 user and privacy allows for encryption of SNMPv3 message. 450 Platform Family supports MD5 authentication and CBC-DES privacy protocols. Page 7-178 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring security SNMPv3 Read-Only and Read/Write User The user can defined by configurable attributes. The attributes and default values are:
Read-only user o Username = Canopyro o Authentication Password = authCanopyro o Privacy Password = privacyCanopyro Read-write user (by default read-write user is disabled) o Username = Canopy o Authentication Password = authCanopy o Privacy Password = privacyCanopy SNMPv3 Trap Configuration The traps may be sent from radios in SNMPv3 format based on parameter settings. It can be configured for Disabled, Enabled for Read-Only User, Enable for Read/Write User.

Disabledthe AP/BHM requires no SMs/BHS to authenticate. (Factory default). Authentication Server the AP/BHM requires any SM/BHS that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration. AP PreShared Key - The AP/BHM acts as the authentication server to its SMs/BHS and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP/BHM and all SMs/BHS desired to register to that AP/BHM. There is also an option of leaving the AP/BHM and SMs/BHS at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs/BHS and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP/BHM. Otherwise, if you configure the AP/BHM first, none of the SMs/BHS is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. Note This parameter is applicable to BHM.

Note Only the frequencies available for your region and the selected Channel bandwidth are displayed. Table 120 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz Page 7-193 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning Frequency Band Select the desired operating frequency band. Frequency Carrier Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the AP and the SM. The supported Channel Bandwidth is 20 MHz. Cyclic Prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-
pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. Color Code Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. Color code allows you to force a SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Subscriber Color This timer may be utilized to initiate SM rescans in order to register to an Code Rescan (When AP configured with the SMs primary color code. not on a Primary Color Code) The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan (if this AP is not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will only fire once if the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a nonzero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan expires, the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle is started. If the Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle timer is configured with a zero value and the Subscriber Color Code Rescan timer expires, the SM will immediately go into rescan mode Subscriber Color The time (in minutes) for a subscriber to rescan while idle (if this AP is Code Wait Period for not configured with the SMs primary color code). This timer will fire Idle periodic events. The fired event determines if any RF unicast traffic
(either inbound or outbound) has occurred since the last event. If the results of the event determine that no RF unicast traffic has occurred
(SM is idle), then the subscriber will rescan. Page 7-194 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Installation Color With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and Code remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If a SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Max Range Enter a number of miles (or kilometers divided by 1.61, then rounded to an integer) for the furthest distance from which a SM is allowed to register to this AP. Do not set the distance to any greater number of miles. A greater distance does not increase the power of transmission from the AP. can reduce aggregate throughput. Regardless of this distance, the SM must meet the minimum requirements for an acceptable link. If the AP is in cluster, then you must set this parameter on all other APs in the cluster exactly the same, except as described in the Downlink Data NOTE admonition below. The default value of this parameter is 2 miles (3.2 km). Downlink Data Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink
(frames transmitted from the AP to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput on the AP is 90 Mb, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 67.5 Mb for the downlink and 22.5 Mb for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 75%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Note In order to prevent self-interference, the frame configuration needs to align which includes Downlink Data, Max Range and Contention slots. For North America Region, the maximum Downlink % for a 5.4 GHz radio is 75% only.. Contention Slots This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured
(a.k.a. Control Slots) by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page 7-234. Page 7-195 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters EIRP This field indicates the combined power level at which the AP will transmit, based on the Country Code. It also includes the antenna gain and array gain. SM Receive Target Each SMs Transmitter Output Power is automatically set by the AP. The Level AP monitors the received power from each SM, and adjusts each SMs Transmitter Output Power so that the received power at the AP from that SM is not greater what is set in this field. This value represents the transmitted and received power (combined power) perceived on the SM. Receive Quality Debug To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-
QAM and 256-QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing. Near Field Operation This parameter is enabled by the Near Field Operation control. This is only available when the EIRP is set to 22 dBm or below. When Near Field Operation is enabled, the Near Field Range is used to apply compensation to the units calibration to support operation in the near field. Note The following features are not supported on PMP 450m in current release:
Multicast VC Broadcast Repeat Count Page 7-196 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters PMP/PTP 450i Series configuring radio Radio page - PMP 450i AP 5 GHz The Radio tab of the PMP 450i AP contains some of the configurable parameters that define how an AP operates. Note Only the frequencies available for your region and the selected Channel bandwidth are displayed. Table 121 PMP 450i AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz Page 7-197 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning Frequency Band Frequency Carrier See Table 120 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-193 Alternate Frequency These parameters are displayed based on Regional Settings. Refer Carrier 1 and 2 Country on page 7-142 Channel Bandwidth Cyclic Prefix Frame Period Color Code Subscriber Color Code Rescan (When not on a Primary Color Code) Subscriber Color Code Wait Period for Idle Installation Color Code Max Range See Table 120 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-193 Downlink Data See Table 120 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-193 Page 7-198 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Contention Slots This field indicates the number of (reserved) Contention slots configured
(a.k.a. Control Slots) by the operator. The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. See Contention slots on page7-234. Broadcast Repeat The default is 2 repeats (in addition to the original broadcast packet, for Count a total of 3 packets sent for every one needed), and is settable to 1 or 0 repeats (2 or 1 packets for every broadcast). ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) is not present in downlink broadcast packets, since it can cause unnecessary uplink traffic from every SM for each broadcast packet. For successful transport without ARQ, the AP repeats downlink broadcast packets. The SMs filter out all repeated broadcast packets and, thus, do not transport further. The default of 2 repeats is optimum for typical uses of the network as an internet access system. In applications with heavy download broadcast such as video distribution, overall throughput is significantly improved by setting the repeat count to 1 or 0. This avoids flooding the downlink with repeat broadcast packets. Transmitter Output This value represents the combined power of the APs two transmitters. Power Nations and regions may regulate transmitter output power. For example 900 MHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance. The professional installer of the equipment has the responsibility to maintain awareness of applicable regulations. calculate the permissible transmitter output power for the module. confirm that the initial power setting is compliant with national or regional regulations. confirm that the power setting is compliant following any reset of the module to factory defaults. External Gain This value needs to correspond to the published gain of the antenna used to ensure the radio will meet regulatory requirements. SM Receive Target Level See Table 120 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-193 Multicast VC Data This pull down menu of the Multicast Data Control screen helps in Rate configuring multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 4X or 6X. The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 Series and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. Page 7-199 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Multicast Repeat This value is the number of packets that are repeated for every multicast Count VC packet received on the AP (located under Radio tab of Configuration). Multicast (like Broadcast) packets go over a VC that is shared by all SMs, so there is no guaranteed delivery. The repeat count is an attempt to improve the odds of the packets getting over the link. If the user has issues with packets getting dropped, they can use this parameter to improve the performance at the cost of the overall throughput possible on that channel. The default value is 0. Multicast Downlink This value is the committed information rate for the multicast downlink CIR VC (located under the Radio tab of Configuration). The default value is 0 kbps. The range of this parameter is based on the number of repeat counts. The higher the repeat count, the lower the range for the multicast downlink CIR. SM Registration All This field allows to control registration of all type 450 Platform Family SM including 430 Series SM(450i/450/430) or 450i Series SM only. PMP 430 SM Registration This field allows to control of PMP 430 SMs whether PMP 430 SMs are allowed to register to PMP 450i APs. By default, it is enabled and PMP 430 SM registrations are accepted. When this field is set to disabled, PMP 430 SMs registrations fail with reject reason 8. This will cause SMs to lock out the AP for 15 minutes. Note This option is not displayed if the Frame Period is set to 5 ms. This option applies only to PMP 450/450i Series APs - 5 GHz. Control Message Controls whether the control messages are sent in MIMO-B or MIMO-A mode. MIMO-A is recommended. However, if an AP on 13.2 is attempting to connect to an SM on 13.1.3 or before, changing to MIMO-
B may aid in getting the SM registered. PMP 450/430 Legacy Disabled: It is factory default setting. It allows to operate in 450i Series mode capabilities. Enabled: It allows to operate radio in Legacy mode PMP 450 or 430. PMP 430 Interop For n-1 compatibility, In SISO mode this forces the AP to only send Mode Control and Beacons over one of the RF paths. Receive Quality To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the Debug number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-
QAM) and per channel (polarization). Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing. Page 7-200 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Frame Alignment Legacy Mode Mode Behavior (non-900 MHz Behavior (FSK 900 MHz radios) radios) OFF By default frame start is aligned with devices with Timing Port synchronization If the synchronization source changes (due to Autosync or otherwise) the radio will dynamically adjust its frame start to maintain alignment with the default frame start timing The radio will align with ON devices running

(Mode 2) N/A By default frame start is aligned with FSK 900 MHz devices with Timing Port synchronization If the synchronization source changes (due to Autosync or otherwise) the radio will dynamically adjust its frame start to maintain alignment with the default frame start timing The radio will align with FSK 900 MHz devices running software versions from 12.0 to 13.4. The radio will align with FSK 900 MHz devices with software versions 11.2 or older.

Table 122 PMP 450i SM Radio attributes 5 GHz Page 7-202 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning Custom Radio Check the frequencies that SM has to scan for AP transmissions. See Frequency Scan Radio Frequency Scan Selection List on page 7-227. Selection List Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Scan Note Selecting multiple channel bandwidths will increase registration and re-registration times. Cyclic Prefix Scan The cyclic prefix for which AP scanning is executed. AP Selection Method Operators may configure the method by which a scanning SM selects an AP. By default, AP Selection Method is set to Optimize for Throughput, which has been the mode of operation in releases prior to 12.0.3.1. Power Level: AP selection based solely on power level or Optimize for Throughput: AP selection based on throughput optimization the selection decision is based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM registrations to the AP (which affects system contention performance). Color Code 1 Color code allows you to force the SM to register to only a specific AP, even where the SM can communicate with multiple APs. For registration to occur, the color code of the SM and the AP must match. Specify a value from 0 to 254. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each sector a different color code. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Page 7-203 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters SMs may be configured with up to 20 color codes. These color codes can be tagged as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary, or Disable. When the SM is scanning for APs, it will first attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs primary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs secondary color codes. Failing that, the SM will continue scanning and attempt to register to an AP that matches one of the SMs tertiary color codes. This is all done in the scanning mode of the SM and will repeat until a registration has occurred. Color codes in the same priority group are treated equally. For example, all APs matching one of the SMs primary color codes are analyzed equally. Likewise, this evaluation is done for the secondary and tertiary groups in order. The analysis for selecting an AP within a priority group is based on various inputs, including signal strength and number of SMs already registered to each AP. The first color code in the configuration is the pre-Release 9.5 color code. Thus, it is always a primary color code for legacy reasons. The color codes can be disabled, with the exception of the first color code. Installation Color With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and Code remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. External Gain This value represents the antenna gain. For ODUs with integrated antenna, this is set at the correct value in the factory. For Connectorized ODUs with external antenna, the user must set this value to the overall antenna gain, including any RF cable loss between the ODU and the antenna. Large VC data Queue AP and BH have a configurable option used to prevent packet loss in the uplink due to bursting IP traffic. This is designed for IP burst traffic particular to video surveillance applications. Receive Quality To aid in link performance monitoring, the AP and SM now report the Debug number of fragments received per modulation (i.e. QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-
QAM) and per channel (polarization). Page 7-204 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Note Due to CPU load, this will slightly degrade packet per second processing. Note The frequencies that a user can select are controlled by the country or a region and the Channel Bandwidth selected. There can be a case where a user adds a custom frequency (from the Custom Frequencies page on page 7-230) and cannot see it in the pull down menu.

See Table 120 PMP 450m AP Radio attributes - 5 GHz on page 7-193 Pager Reject Filter In 900 MHz, Pager Reject filter is placed on the AP to block Pager signals which could cause interference to the whole band. The Pager signals typically operate in the 928-930 frequency range. When the filter is enabled, the signals of 920 MHz and above are attenuated which enables better reception of signals in the rest of the band. Note that the AP/SM should not be configured on the frequencies of 920 MHz and above when this filter is enabled.

Table 124 PTP 450i BHM Radio page attributes 5 GHz Page 7-208 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Attribute Meaning Frequency Band Select the operating frequency band of the radio. The supported bands are 4.9 GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz. Frequency Carrier Specify the frequency for the module to transmit. The default for this parameter is None. For a list of channels in the band, see the drop-down list on the radio GUI. Channel Bandwidth The channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. The setting for the channel bandwidth must match between the BHM and the BHS. Cyclic Prefix OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the beginning of the symbol to allow multi-
pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16 cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. Frame Period Select the Frame Period of the radio. The support Frame Periods are : 5 ms and 2.5 ms. Color Code Specify a value from 0 to 254. For registration to occur, the color code of the BHM and the BHS must match. Color code is not a security feature. Instead, color code is a management feature, typically for assigning each link a different color code. Color code allows you to force a BHS to register to only a specific BHM. The default setting for the color code value is 0. This value matches only the color code of 0 (not all 255 color codes). Large VC data Q Enable Large VC Q for applications that burst data high rates. Large Qs may decrease effective throughput for TCP application. Disable Large VC Q if application need not handle bursts of data. Large Qs may decrease effective throughput for TCP application. Downlink Data Specify the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink
(frames transmitted from the BHM to the subscriber). For example, if the aggregate (uplink and downlink total) throughput on the BHM is 132 Mbps, then 75% specified for this parameter allocates 99 Mbps for the downlink and 33 Mbps for the uplink. The default for this parameter is 50%. This parameter must be set in the range of 15% - 85%, otherwise the invalid input will not be accepted and the previously-entered valid setting is used. Note In order to prevent self-interference, the frame configuration needs to align. This includes Downlink Data, Max Range and Contention slots. Transmit Power This value represents the combined power of the BHMs two transmitters. Nations and regions may regulate transmit power. For example Page 7-209 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters PTP 450i Series modules are available as connectorized radios, which require the operator to adjust power to ensure regulatory compliance.

SMs or BHS first boot into the smallest selected channel bandwidth (10 MHz, if selected) and scan all selected frequencies across both the 5.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz frequency bands. After this scan, if a wider channel bandwidth is selected (20 MHz), the SM/BHS automatically changes to 20 MHz channel bandwidth and then scans for APs/BHSs. After the SM/BHS finishes this final scan it will evaluate the best AP/BHM with which to register. If required for registration, the SM/BHS changes its channel bandwidth back to 10 MHz to match the best AP/BHM. The SM/BHS will attempt to connect to an AP/BHM based on power level (which affects the modulation state), channel bandwidth (which affects throughput) and number of SM/BHS registrations to the AP/BHM (which affects system contention performance). If it is desired to prioritize a certain AP/BHM over other available APs/BHMs, operators may use the Color Code Priority feature on the SM/BHS. Utilization of the Color Code feature on the AP/BHM is recommended to further constrain the AP selection. If the SM does not find any suitable APs/BHMs for registration after scanning all channel bandwidths, the SM restarts the scanning process beginning with the smallest configured channel bandwidth. Selecting multiple frequencies and multiple channel bandwidths impacts the SM/BHS scanning time. The biggest consumption of time is in the changing of the SM/BHS channel bandwidth setting. The worst case scanning time is approximately two minutes after boot up (SM/BHS with all frequencies and channel bandwidths selected and registering to an AP/BHM at 10 MHz). If only one channel bandwidth is selected the time to scan all the available frequencies and register to an AP/BHM is approximately one minute after boot up. Other scanning features such as Color Code, Installation Color Code, and RADIUS authentication are unaffected by the Full Band Scan feature. Dedicated Multicast Virtual Circuit (VC) A Multicast VC allows to configure multicast packets to be transmitted over a dedicated channel at a configurable rate of 1X, 2X, 4X or 8X. This feature is available only for the PMP 450 and PMP 450i and is not backward compatible with PMP 430 series of radios. To configure Multicast VC, the AP must have this enabled. This can be enabled in the Multicast Data Control section (under Configuration > Radio page). The default value is Disable. If set to the default value, all multicast packets are transmitted over the Broadcast VC data path. To enable, select the data rate that is desired for the Multicast VC Data Rate parameter and click Save Changes button. The radio requires no reboot after any changes to this parameter. The multicast VC allows three different parameters to be configured on the AP. These can be changed on the fly and are saved on the flash memory. Page 7-227 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Note If the Multicast VC Data Rate is set to a modulation that the radio is not currently capable of or operates in non-permitted channel conditions, multicast data is sent but not received. Ex: If Multicast VC Data Rate is set to 6x and the channel conditions only permit 4x mode of operation, then multicast data is sent at 6x modulation but the SM will not receive the data. Note The PMP 450 AP supports up to 119 VCs (instead of 238 VCs) when configured for 30 MHz channel bandwidth or 5 ms Frame Period. This limitation is not applicable for PMP 450i Series. Note Actual Multicast CIR honored by the AP = Configured Multicast CINR/ (Multicast Repeat Count + 1). Increasing the Multicast data rate has no impact on the Unicast data rate. For multicast and unicast traffic mix scenario examples, see Table 137. Table 137 Example for mix of multicast and unicast traffic scenarios Repeat Count Multicast Data Unicast Data Aggregate DL Data Rate (Mbps) Rate (Mbps) Rate (Mbps) 0 1 2 10 5 3.33 40 40 40 50 45 43.33 The statistics have been added to the Data VC page (under Statistics > Data VC). The table displays the multicast row on the PMP 450 Platform Family AP. The SM displays the multicast row if it is a PMP 450 Platform Family.

Scheduler page), as shown in Figure 123. Page 7-228 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Figure 123 Multicast scheduler statistics Page 7-229 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Custom Frequencies page In addition to the Radio tab, AP/SM/BH has another tab called Custom Frequencies as shown in Table 138. The custom frequency tab allows to configure custom frequency at 1 KHz raster. It means that the custom frequencies can be at granularity of 1 KHz e.g. 4910.123 MHz, 4922.333 MHz, 4933.421 MHz etc. Note Ensure that a customer frequency exists before using SNMP to set the radio to a Custom Frequency.

Page 7-232 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters DFS for 5 GHz Radios Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is a requirement in several countries and regions for 5 GHz unlicensed systems to detect radar systems and avoid co-channel operation. DFS and other regulatory requirements drive the settings for the following parameters, as discussed in this section:
Country 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. Figure 124 AP DFS Status DFS operation The ODUs use region-specific DFS based on the Country Code selected on the modules Configuration, General page. By directing installers and technicians to set the Country Code correctly, the operator gains confidence the module is operating according to national or regional regulations without having to deal with the details for each region. The details of DFS operation for each Country Code, including whether DFS is active on the AP, SM, and which DFS regulations apply is shown in Table 231 on page 10-37. Page 7-233 Chapter 7: Configuration Contention slots Configuring radio parameters The SM uses reserved Contention slots and unused data slots for bandwidth requests. Uplink Data Slots are used first for data. If they are not needed for data in a given frame, the remaining data slots can be used by the SMs for bandwidth requests. This allows SMs in sectors with a small number of Contention slots configured to still successfully transmit bandwidth requests using unused data slots. A higher number of Contention slots give higher probability that a SMs bandwidth request is correctly received when the system is heavily loaded, but with the tradeoff that sector capacity is reduced, so there is less capacity to handle the request. The sector capacity reduction is about 200 kbps for each Contention slot configured in a 20 MHz channel at QPSK MIMO-A modulation. The reduction in sector capacity is proportionally higher at MIMO-B modulations (2 times at QPSK MIMO-B, 4 times at 16 QAM MIMO-B, 6 times at 64 QAM MIMO-B and 8 times at 256 QAM MIMO-
B). If very few reserved Contention slots are specified, then latency increases in high traffic periods. If too many are specified, then the maximum capacity is unnecessarily reduced. The suggested Contention slot settings as a function of the number of active VCs in the sector are shown in the table below. Table 141 Contention slots and number of VCs Number of VCs Recommended Number of Contention slots 1 to 10 11 to 50 51 to 150 151 and above 3 4 6 8 Note that each SM uses one or two VCs. All SMs have a Low Priority Channel that uses one VC; if the High Priority Channel is enabled for the SM, then the SM uses a second VC. Therefore the number of active VCs in a sector is greater than or equal to the number of SMs registered to the AP in the sector. For example, a network including 20 SMs with High Priority Channel disabled and 20 SMs with High Priority Channel enabled has 60 active VCs and may be configured with 6 Contention slots. In a typical cluster, each AP must be set to the same number of Contention slots to assure proper timing in the send and receive cycles. However, where high incidence of small packets exists, as in a sector that serves several VoIP streams, additional Contention slots may provide better results. For APs in a cluster of mismatched Contention slots setting, or where PMP 450/450i Series is collocated with radios using different technologies, like PMP 430 or FSK, in the same frequency band, use the frame calculator.

Page 7-234 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters MIMO-A mode of operation 450 Platform Family supports MIMO-B mode using the following modulation levels: QPSK, 16-
QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM. System Release 13.2 introduces MIMO-A mode of operation using the same modulation levels as the MIMO-B mode. With MIMO-B, the radio sends different streams of data over the two antennas whereas with MIMO-A, the radio uses a scheme that tries to optimize coverage by transmitting the same data over both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver making it more robust, at the cost of throughput. In addition to introducing MIMO-A modes, improvements have been made to the existing rate adapt algorithm to switch between MIMO-A and MIMO-B seamlessly without any intervention or added configuration by the operator. The various modulation levels used by the 450 Platform Family are shown in Table 142. Table 142 450 Platform Family Modulation levels Rate QPSK MIMO-B MIMO-A 2X MIMO-B 1X MIMO-A 16-QAM 4X MIMO-B 2X MIMO-A 64-QAM 6X MIMO-B 3X MIMO-A 265-QAM 8X MIMO-B 4X MIMO-A System Performance For System Performance details of all the 450 Platform Family ODUs please refer below tools:

* For PMP 450 AP 3.6 GHz, Configuration -> Radio -> Power Control -> Adjacent Channel Support must be enabled. Page 7-236 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring radio parameters Improved PPS performance of 450 Platform Family The 450m and 450i Series provides improved packets per second (PPS) performance compared to 450 Series. Through hardware and software enhancements, the PPS performance of the PMP 450i Series AP has been improved to 40k packets/second, measured through a standard RFC2544 test using 64 bytes packets. With this enhancement, operators are able to provide higher bandwidth including better VoIP and video services to end customers using existing SM deployments. PMP 450m supports 100k packets/second. Page 7-237 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Setting up SNMP agent Operators may use SNMP commands to set configuration parameters and retrieve data from the AP and SM modules. Also, if enabled, when an event occurs, the SNMP agent on the 450 Platform Family sends a trap to whatever SNMP trap receivers configured in the management network. SNMPv2c SNMPv3 Page 7-238 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Configuring SM/BHSs IP over-the-air access To access the SM/BHS management interface from a device situated above the AP, the SM/BHSs Network Accessibility parameter (under the web GUI at Configuration > IP) may be set to Public. Table 145 LAN1 Network Interface Configuration tab of IP page attributes Attribute Meaning IP Address Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address is used by family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Network Accessibility Specify whether the IP address of the SM/BHS must be visible to only a device connected to the SM/BHS by Ethernet (Local) or be visible to the AP/BHM as well (Public). Subnet Mask parameter configures the subnet mask of the SM/BHS for RF If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this management traffic. Gateway IP Address parameter configures the gateway IP address for the SM/BHS for RF If Static IP is set as the Connection Type of the WAN interface, then this management traffic. If Enabled is selected, the DHCP server automatically assigns the IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address) and the DHCP state values of those individual parameters (above) are not used. The setting of this DHCP state parameter is also viewable (read only), in the Network Interface tab of the Home page. Canopy devices allow for configuration of a preferred and alternate DNS server IP address either automatically or manually. Devices must set DNS IP Address DNS server IP address manually when DHCP is disabled for the management interface of the device. The default DNS IP addresses are 0.0.0.0 when configured manually. Preferred DNS Server The first address used for DNS resolution. Page 7-239 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Alternate DNS If the Preferred DNS server cannot be reached, the Alternate DNS Server Server is used. Domain Name The operators management domain name may be configured for DNS. The domain name configuration can be used for configuration of the servers in the operators network. The default domain name is example.com, and is only used if configured as such. Configuring SNMP The SNMP page configuration is explained below. Note The SNMP page for AP, SM, BHM and BHS has the same parameter attributes. SNMP page AP/SM/BHM/BHS The SNMP page is explained in Table 146. Page 7-240 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Table 146 SNMP page attributes Page 7-241 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Attribute Meaning SNMP Community Specify a control string that can allow a Network Management Station String 1
(NMS) to access SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopy. SNMP Community You can designate the SNMP Community String 1 to be the password String 1 Permissions for WM, for example, to have Read / Write access to the module via SNMP or for all SNMP access to the module to be Read Only. SNMP Community Specify an additional control string that can allow a Network String 2 (Read Only) Management Station (NMS) to read SNMP information. No spaces are allowed in this string. The default string is Canopyro. This password will never authenticate a user or an NMS to read/write access. The Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor. Additional security derives from the configuration of the Accessing Subnet, Trap Address, and Permission parameters. Engine ID The Engine ID may be between 5 and 32 hex characters. The hex character input is driven by RFC 3411 recommendations on the Engine ID. The default Engine ID is the MAC address of the device SNMPv3 Security Specify security model where users are defined and authenticated Level before granting access to any SNMP service. Each device can configure the security level of SNMPv3 to No authentication/No privacy, Authentication/No privacy, or Authentication/Privacy. Currently, the SNMPv3 authentication protocol MD5 is supported. SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol SNMPv3 Privacy Currently, the SNMPv3 privacy protocol CBC-DES is supported. Protocol SNMPv3 Read-Only This filed allows for a read-only user per devices. The default values for User the Read-Only users is:
Username = Canopyro Authentication Password = authCanopyro Privacy Password = privacyCanopyro SNMPv3 Read/Write Read-write user by default is disabled. The default values for the User Read/Write users is :
Username = Canopy Authentication Password = authCanopy Privacy Password = privacyCanopy SNMPv3 Trap Configuration When enabling transmission of SNMPv3 traps the read-only or read-
write user credentials must be used and selected properly in order for the SNMP manager to correctly interpret the traps. By default transmission of SNMPv3 traps is disabled and all traps sent from the radios are in SNMPv2c format. Page 7-242 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Accessing IP /
Specify the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this Subnet Mask 1 to 10 AP. The NMS has an address that is among these addresses (this subnet). You must enter both The network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form
/xx For example:
the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet). 192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range 192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the AP, presuming that the device supplies the correct Community String value. The default treatment is to allow all networks access. For more information on CIDR, execute an Internet search on Classless Interdomain Routing. You are allowed to specify as many as 10 different accessing IP address, subnet mask combinations. RECOMMENDATION:
The subscriber can access the SM/BHS by changing the subscriber device to the accessing subnet. This hazard exists because the Community String and Accessing Subnet are both visible parameters. To avoid this hazard, configure the SM/BHS to filter (block) SNMP requests. SNMP Trap Server The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the DNS Usage name of the trap server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. The default SNMP trap server addresses for all 10 available servers is 0.0.0.0 with the appending of the DNS domain name disabled. Trap Address 1 to 10 Specify ten or fewer IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or DNS names to which SNMP traps must be sent. Traps inform Wireless Manager or an NMS that something has occurred. For example, trap information is sent after a reboot of the module. when an NMS attempts to access agent information but either supplied an inappropriate community string or SNMP version number. is associated with a subnet to which access is disallowed. Trap Enable, Sync If the sync status traps (sync lost and sync regained) have to be sent to Status Wireless Manager or an NMS, select Enabled. If these traps have to be suppressed, select Disabled. Trap Enable, Session If you want session status traps sent to Wireless Manager or an NMS, Status select Enabled. Page 7-243 Chapter 7: Configuration Setting up SNMP agent Site Information Operators can enable or disable site information from appearing when a Viewable to Guest user is in GUEST account mode. Users Site Name Specify a string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is written into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Site Contact Enter contact information for the module administrator. This parameter is written into the sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Site Location Enter information about the physical location of the module. This parameter is written into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by Wireless Manager or an NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters. Page 7-244 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Configuring syslog 450 Platform Family includes:
Syslog event logging Configuring system logging Page 7-245 Chapter 7: Configuration Syslog event logging Following events are logged in syslog as explained in Table 147. Table 147 Syslog parameters Attribute Meaning Configuring syslog Timestamp All syslog messages captured from the radio have a timestamp. Configuration This includes any device setting that has changed and includes the old Changes or new parameter value, including the device reboots. User Login and Logout Add or Delete of user Syslog records each user login and logout, with username. accounts through Syslog captures any user accounts that are added or deleted. GUI and SNMP Spectrum Analysis Syslog records a message every time Spectrum Analysis runs. Note Since the AP/BHM must be set to a SM/BHS for Spectrum Analysis, syslog messages are not reported from the radio until the scan is done and the radio mode is switched back to AP/BHM. Link Test Syslog records a message every time a Link Test is run. Clear Statistics SM Register or De-
register BHS Connect or Disconnect Syslog sends a message when Statistics are cleared. This is done individually for each statistics page that is cleared. Syslog records a message when a SM registers or deregisters. Syslog records a message when a BHS connects or disconnects. Configuring system logging To configure system logging, select the menu option Configuration > Syslog. Syslog page of AP/BHM The Syslog Configuration page for AP/BHM is shown in Table 148. Page 7-246 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Table 148 Syslog Configuration attributes - AP Attribute Meaning Syslog DNS Server Usage To configure the AP/BHM to append or not append the DNS server name to the syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port AP Syslog Transmit Or BHM Syslog Transmit The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. When enabled, syslog messages are sent from the AP/BHM. SM Syslog Transmit When enabled, syslog messages are sent from all the registered Or BHS Syslog Transmit SMs/BHS, unless they are individually set to override this. This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity). For example: If the Syslog Minimum Level is set to notice, then only messages with severity notice and above are sent. Syslog Minimum Level Syslog page of SM To configure system logging, select the menu option Configuration > Syslog. The Syslog Configuration page is shown in Table 149. Page 7-247 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Table 149 Syslog Configuration attributes - SM Attribute Meaning Syslog Configuration This control determines whether the SM will attempt to use the syslog Source server definition from the AP, or whether it will use a local server definition. When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the syslog server defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any. When set to Local only the SM ignores the APs definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for each SM. Syslog DNS Server To configure the SM to append or not the DNS server name to the Usage syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. Syslog Transmission Controls the SMs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to Learn from AP the AP will control whether this SM transmits syslog messages. When set to enable or disable the SM will control whether it sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override the AP settings for individual SMs in a sector. This control determines whether the SM attempts to use the minimum syslog level defined by the AP, or whether it uses a local defined value using the Syslog Minimum Level parameter. Syslog Minimum Level Source When set to AP preferred, use local when AP configuration unavailable, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the Syslog Minimum Level defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting. When set to Local only the SM will always use its own Syslog Minimum Level setting and ignores the APs setting. Page 7-248 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Syslog Minimum Level This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server. Values range from fatal (highest severity and least verbose) to info (lowest severity, maximum verbosity).

Table 150 Syslog Configuration attributes - BHS Attribute Meaning Syslog Configuration This control determines whether the BHS will attempt to use the syslog Source server definition from the BHM, or whether it will use a local server definition. When set to BHM preferred, use local when BHM configuration unavailable, and if the BHS can register with a BHM, then it uses the syslog server defined on that BHM. If the BHS cannot register then it will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any. When set to Local only the BHS ignores the BHMs definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured individually for each BHS. Syslog DNS Server To configure the BHS to append or not to append the DNS server name Usage to the syslog server name. Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address. Syslog Server Port The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent. Syslog Transmission Controls the BHSs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set to Learn from BHM the BHM will control whether this BHS transmits syslog messages. When set to enable or disable the BHS will control Page 7-249 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring syslog Syslog Minimum Level Source Syslog Minimum Level whether it sends syslog messages. This allows an operator to override the BHM settings for individual BHSs in a sector. This control determines whether the BHS attempts to use the minimum syslog level defined by the BHM, or whether it uses a local defined value using the Syslog Minimum Level parameter. When set to BHM preferred, use local when BHM configuration unavailable, and if the BHS can register with a BHM, then it uses the Syslog Minimum Level defined on that BHM. If the BHS cannot register then it uses its own Syslog Minimum Level setting. When set to Local only the BHS will always use its own Syslog Minimum Level setting and ignores the BHMs setting. This provides a selection for the minimum syslog message severity that is sent to the syslog server.

Figure 126 AP Remote Subscribers page Page 7-251 Chapter 7: Configuration Monitoring the Link Monitoring the Link Link monitoring procedure After configuring the link, either an operator in the network office or the SM/BHS INSTALLER user in the field (if read access to the AP/BHM is available to the INSTALLER) must perform the following procedure. Who is authorized and able to do this depends on local operator password policy, management VLAN setup and operational practices. To monitor the link for performance, follow these instructions:
Procedure 22 Monitoring the AP-SM link 1 Access the web interface of the AP/BHM 2 In the left-side menu of the AP/BHM interface, select Home. 3 Click the Session Status tab. Figure 127 Session Status page 4 The Device tab of Session Status List display all displayed SMs MAC address, PMP/PTP Hardware, Software Version, FPGA Version and State Page 7-252 Chapter 7: Configuration Monitoring the Link 5 Click Session Count tab of Session Status List to display values for Session Count, Reg Count, and Re-Reg Count. Session Count: This field displays how many sessions the SM/BHS has had with the AP/BHM. Typically, this is the sum of Reg Count and Re-Reg Count. However, the result of internal calculation may display here as a value that slightly differs from the sum. Reg Count: When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is not currently in session database and it is valid Registration Request, then the request increments the value of this field. Re-Reg Count: When a SM/BHS makes a Registration Request, the AP/BHM checks its local session database to see whether it was registered earlier. If the AP/BHM concludes that the SM/BHS is currently in session database, then the request increments the value of this field. Typically, a Re-Reg is the case where both o SM/BHS attempts to reregister for having lost communication with the AP/BHM. o AP/BHM has not yet observed the link to the SM/BHS as being down. See Session tab on page 9-21 6 Click Power tab of Session Status list to display Downlink Rate, AP Rx Power (dBm), Signal Strength Radio (dB) for Uplink and Signal to Noise Radio (dB) for Uplink.

Sustained Data Rate (kbps) Burst Allocation (kbit) Max Burst Rate (kbit) Low Priority CIR (kbps) See Configuration tab on page 9-24 8 Briefly monitor these values, occasionally refreshing this page by clicking another tab and then the Session Status tab again. 9 If these values are low (for example, 1, 1, and 0, respectively, meaning that the SM/BHS registered and started a stable session once) and are not changing:
Consider the installation successful. Monitor these values from the network office over the next several hours and days. If these values are greater than 1, 1, and 0, or they increase while you are monitoring them, troubleshoot the link. (For example, Use Receive Power Level for aiming and then use Link Tests to confirm alignment). Refer Viewing Session Status on page 9-20 for more details.

Sustained Uplink Data Rate (kbps) Uplink Burst Allocation (kb) Sustained Downlink Data Rate (kbps) Downlink Burst Allocation (kb) Max Burst Downlink Data Rate (kbps) Max Burst Uplink Data Rate (kbps) Set each of these parameters per AP or per SM independently. Note You can refer below whitepaper for 450 Platform Family Max Burst MIR:
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/resources/pmp-450-maxburst/
Token Bucket Algorithm The software uses a token bucket algorithm that has the following features:
Stores credits (tokens) for the SM to spend on bandwidth for reception or transmission. Drains tokens during reception or transmission. Refills with tokens at the sustained rate set by the network operator. 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. When the SM transmits (or the AP transmits) a packet, the equivalent number of tokens is removed from the uplink (or downlink) bucket. Except when full, the bucket is continuously being refilled with tokens at rates that the applicable set of Sustained Uplink Data Rate and Sustained Downlink Data Rate parameters specify. The bucket often drains at a rate that is much faster than the sustained data rate but can refill at only the sustained data rate. Thus, the effects of the allocation and rate parameters on packet delay are as follows:
The burst allocation affects how many kilobits are processed before packet delay is imposed. The sustained data rate affects the packet delay that is imposed. Page 7-255 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service MIR Data Entry Checking Uplink and downlink MIR is enforced as shown in Figure 129. Note In these figures, entry refers to the setting in the data rate parameter, not the burst allocation parameter. Figure 129 Uplink and downlink rate caps adjusted to apply aggregate cap 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 is enforced for the SM can be calculated as shown in Figure 130. Figure 130 Uplink and downlink rate cap adjustment example
`
In this example case, the derived 1,167-kbps uplink and 5,833-kbps downlink MIR sum to the fixed 7,000-kbps aggregate cap of the SM. Committed Information Rate (CIR) The Committed Information Rate (CIR) capability feature enables the service provider to guarantee to any subscriber that bandwidth will never decrease to below a specified minimum unless CIR is oversubscribed or RF conditions are degraded. CIR is oversubscribed when there is not enough available bandwidth to support CIR configuration for all subscribers. In this condition, SMs which are configured with a nonzero CIR will all operate at the maximum data rate supported by the link
(subject to Maximum Information Rate and Burst Rate/Allocations). SMs which are configured with a CIR of 0 kbps will not transmit until CIR-configured SMs have completed transmission. CIR may be configured independently for high priority traffic and for low priority traffic. CIR parameters may be configured in the following ways:
Web-based management GUI SNMP Authentication Server (RADIUS) - when a SM successfully registers and authenticates, CIR information is retrieved from the RADIUS server.

Bandwidth from the SM Perspective In the SM, normal web browsing, e-mail, small file transfers and short streaming video are rarely rate limited with practical bandwidth management (QoS) settings. When the SM processes large downloads such as software upgrades and long streaming video or a series of medium-size downloads, the bucket rapidly drains, the burst limit is reached, and some packets are delayed. The subscriber experience is more affected in cases where the traffic is more latency sensitive. 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. After the burst, the bucket experiences a significant refill at the Sustained Data Rate. This configuration uses the advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. If both the Burst Allocation and the Sustained Data Rate are set to 128 kb, a burst is limited to the Burst Allocation value. This configuration does not take advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. If the Burst Allocation is set to 128 kb and the Sustained Data Rate is set to 256 kbps, the actual rate is the burst allocation (but in kbps). As above, this configuration does not take advantage of the settable Burst Allocation. High-priority Bandwidth To support low-latency traffic such as VoIP (Voice over IP) or video, the system implements a high-
priority channel. This channel does not affect the inherent latencies in the system but allows high-
priority traffic to be immediately served. The high-priority pipe separates low-latency traffic from traffic that is latency tolerant, such as standard web traffic and file downloads. The number of channels available on the AP is reduced by the number of SMs configured for the high-priority channel (each SM operating with high-priority enabled uses two channels (virtual circuits) instead of one). A module prioritizes traffic by reading the Low Latency bit (Bit 3) in the IPv4 Type of Service (ToS) byte in a received packet. Bit 3 is set by a device outside the system. reading the 802.1p field of the 802.1Q header in a received packet, where VLAN is enabled on the module. comparing the 6-bit Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field in the ToS byte of a received packet to a corresponding value in the Diffserv tab of the Configuration page of the module. A packet contains no flag that indicates whether the encoding is for the Low Latency bit or the DSCP field. For this reason, you must ensure that all elements in your trusted domain, including routers and endpoints, set and read the ToS byte with the same scheme. Modules monitor ToS bytes with DSCP fields, but with the following differences:
The 6-bit length of the field allows it to specify one of 64 service differentiations. Page 7-257 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service These correlate to 64 individual (CodePoint) parameters in the Diffserv tab of the Configuration page. Per RFC 2474, 3 of these 64 are preset and cannot be changed. (See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1902.html.) For any or all of the remaining 61 CodePoint parameters, you can specify a value of o 0 through 3 for low-priority handling. o 4 through 7 for high-priority handling. Note Ensure that your Differentiated Services domain boundary nodes mark any entering packet, as needed, so that it specifies the appropriate Code Point for that traffic and domain. This prevents theft of service level. An example of the Diffserv page in the Configuration menu and parameter descriptions are provided under DiffServ attributes AP/BHM on page 7-132. This tab and its rules are identical from module type to module type. However, any of the 61 configurable Code Points can be set to a different value from module to module, thus defining unique per-hop behavior for some traffic. This tab in the AP sets the priorities for the various packets in the downstream (sent from the public network). This tab in the SM 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. The default values in the Diffserv page allow your modules to prioritize traffic from the older devices roughly the same as they traditionally have. However, these default values may result in more high-priority traffic as DSCP fields from the newer devices are read and handled. So, after making changes in the Diffserv page, carefully monitor the high-priority channel for high packet rates in SMs that you have identified as those to initially set and watch. across your network when you have broadly implemented Code Point values, such as via SNMP.

See the dedicated user guide that supports the CMM that you are deploying. Packets that have a priority of 4 to 7 in either the DSCP or a VLAN 802.1p tag are automatically sent on the high-priority channel, but only where the high-priority channel is enabled. Page 7-259 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring quality of service Setting the Configuration Source The AP includes a Configuration Source parameter, which sets where SMs that register to the AP are controlled for MIR, CIR, VLAN, and the high-priority channel as follows. The Configuration Source parameter affects the source of:

See Maximum Information Rate (MIR) Parameters on page 7-255 Interaction of Burst Allocation and Sustained Data Rate Settings on page 7-257 Configuration Source on page 7-141 Broadcast Downlink Broadcast Downlink CIR (Committed Information Rate, a minimum) CIR supports system designs where downlink broadcast is desired to have higher priority than other traffic. For many other system designs, especially typical internet access networks, leave the Broadcast Downlink CIR at the default. Broadcast Downlink CIR is closely related to the Broadcast Repeat Count parameter, which is settable in the Radio tab of the Configuration page in the AP: when the Broadcast Repeat Count is changed, the total of available bandwidth is also changed, since packets are being sent one, two, or three times, according to the setting in the Broadcast Repeat Count parameter. Priority Precedence Allows operator to decide if 802.1p or DiffServ priority bits must be used first when making priority decisions. PPPoE Control Operators may configure the SM to utilize the high priority channel for Message Priority PPPoE control messages. Configuring the SM in this fashion can benefit the continuity of PPPoE connections when there are issues with PPPoE sessions being dropped in the network. This prioritization may be configured in the DiffServ tab in the Configuration menu of the SM. Prioritize TCP ACK To reduce the likelihood of TCP acknowledgement packets being dropped, set this parameter to Enabled. This can improve throughput that the end user perceives during transient periods of congestion on the link that is carrying acknowledgements.

Page 7-267 Chapter 7: Configuration Installation Color Code Installation Color Code With this feature enabled on the AP and SM, operators may install and remotely configure SMs without having to configure matching color codes between the modules. While the SM is accessible for configuration from above the AP (for remote provisioning) and below the SM (for local site provisioning), no user data is passed over the radio link. When using the Installation Color Code feature, ensure that the SM is configured with the factory default Color Code configuration (Color Code 1 is 0, Color Code 2-10 set to 0 and Disable). The status of the Installation Color Code can be viewed on the AP Eval web GUI page, and when the SM is registered using the Installation Color Code the message SM is registered via ICC Bridging Disabled! is displayed in red on every SM GUI page. The Installation Color Code parameter is configurable without a radio reboot for both the AP and SM. If an SM is registered via Installation Color Code and the feature is then disabled, operators will need to reboot the SM or force it to reregister (i.e. using the Rescan APs functionality on the AP Eval page). Figure 131 Installation Color Code of AP Page 7-268 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 This feature allows an SM to get its configuration via DHCP option 66. This can be used for the initial configuration of an SM as well as managing the configuration of SMs on an ongoing basis. Here is how it works in brief:
When the SM boots up, if it is set to use DHCP client, it will send out a DHCP Discover packet which includes a request for DHCP Option 66. In case of a brand new SM out of the box, the DHCP Discover packet is sent out if the SM connects to an AP using Installation Color Code (ICC), even though DHCP client is not enabled in factory default config. An appropriately configured DHCP server will respond with a DHCP Offer and include a URL in response to the Option 66 request. The URL should point to the configuration file. The device will download the configuration file and apply it. The device will reboot automatically if needed. (Note: this requires rebootIfRequired flag to be added to the config file. See Creating a Golden config file on page 7-270. Configuration Steps Procedure 23 Zero Touch Configuration steps 1 Create the golden config file(s) 2 Host it on an TFTP/FTP/HTTP/HTTPS server 3 Configure the DHCP server to return the URL of the golden config file in option 66 When the SM boots up, it will get the URL for the golden config from the DHCP server via option 66, download it and apply it. If all the SMs are configured exactly the same, then you can create just new golden config file that can be used with all SMs. If the SMs are not configured the same, see if it is possible to group the SMs such that SMs with the same configuration are served by the same DHCP pool. User can then create multiple golden config files and configure the DHCP server to use the appropriate config file for each pool. User can also create one config file per SM. This provides the most flexibility, but is practical only if you have a software tool/script to generate the config files for each MAC address. The files should be named <mac>.cfg where <mac> is the MAC address of the SM, and stored in the same directory on the file server. The DHCP server should be configured to return the directory name ending with a / in option 66. The SM will automatically add <mac>.cfg to the path and get its config file. Page 7-269 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 If some configuration is unique per SM, but rest of the configuration is common, the SMs can be staged with the unique part, and use option 66 to manage the common part. For example, if each SM needs to have its coordinates set, dont include the coordinates in the golden config file. Instead, configure the coordinates for each SM manually. Manage the rest of the configuration using DHCP option 66. Creating a Golden config file The easiest way to create the golden config file is to configure an SM, export its configuration and edit it. To export the configuration file from the GUI of the SM, go to Configuration > Unit Settings tab, go to the Download Configuration File section and click on the <mac>.cfg link. This will give you a text file in JSON format. You can edit this file in a text editor but its easier to use a JSON editor like https://www.jsoneditoronline.org/. Strip down the config file to remove sections and entries that dont care about, and keep only the items that require changes. If there are many required changes, it can easily get confusing. To identify the exact items changes, first reset the SM to factory default, export the config file, make the necessary changes, export a second config file, then use a tool like WinMerge
(http://winmerge.org/) to identify the differences. The config file contains the following informational entries at the top level.
"cfgUtcTimestamp": "cfgUtcTimestamp",
"swVersion": "CANOPY 13.3 (Build 15) SM-AES",
"cfgFileString": "Canopy configuration file",
"srcMacAddress": "0a-00-3e-a2-c2-74",
"deviceType": "5.4/5.7GHz MIMO OFDM - Subscriber Module",
"cfgFileVersion": "1.0"
The cfgUtcTimestamp, swVersion, srcMacAddress and deviceType lines can be deleted. Do not delete the cfgFileString and cfgFileVersion entries. Next, create an object named configFileParameters at the top level. Under that, add a parameter called rebootIfRequired and set it to true. This tells the SM to reboot automatically if a reboot is needed to apply the new configuration. A sample configuration file that has been edited for use via DHCP option 66 is given below.

In case, the SM needs to fetch the configuration file on each boot up even when not connecting to AP via ICC, set Network Accessibility to Public and DHCP State to Enabled in the Configuration > IP page before exporting the configuration. Hosting the config file Copy the golden configuration file to an FTP, TFTP, HTTP or HTTPS server. This location can be password protected; you just have to include the user name and password in the URL. DHCP server configuration Configure DHCP server to return the full URL to the golden config file as the value of DHCP option 66. Page 7-271 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 The following example explains how to make the change for Windows Server 2008. Adapt it to your specific DHCP server. Procedure 24 DHCP server configuration 1 Click Start > Administrative Tools > DHCP 2 If you have multiple Scopes defined, identify the correct Scope that will serve IP addresses for the SMs 3 Right click on Scope Option under the correct Scope and select Configure Options Page 7-272 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 4 In the Scope Options dialog, scroll down to 066 Boot Server Host Name, select the checkbox and enter the full URL to the golden config file as the String value. Then click OK. 5 In the DHCP snap-in window, right click and Refresh to see the DHCP option 66 in the list of DHCP options Supported URL Formats FTP, TFTP, HTTP and HTTPS URLs are supported. Some examples are given below. ftp://10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg ftp://admin:admin123@10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg (login as admin with password admin123) tftp://10.120.163.253/canopy.cfg http://10.120.163.253/golden-config.cfg https://10.120.163.253/smconfig/golden-config.cfg User can also specify the URL pointing to a directory and not a specific file. Terminate the URL with a / to indicate that it is a directory and not a file. Use this format when each SM has its own individual config file. The directory should contain files named <mac>.cfg, one for each SM. For example:
ftp://10.120.163.253/smconfig/
Page 7-273 Chapter 7: Configuration Zero Touch Configuration Using DHCP Option 66 In this case, the SM will append <mac>.cfg to the path and try to get that file. For example, if the SMs MAC address is 0a-00-3e-a2-c2-74, it will request for ftp://10.120.163.253/smconfig/0a003ea2c274.cfg. This mechanism can be used to serve individual config file for each SM. Troubleshooting 1 Ensure that the___14 SM is running 13.3 or newer version of software. 2 If the SM has factory default config, confirm ICC is enabled on the AP, so the SM can connect to it. 3 If the SM is connecting to the AP using a color code other than ICC, make sure the SM has Network Accessibility set to Public and DHCP State set to Enabled in the Configuration > IP page. 4 Make sure the golden config file does not turn off Network Accessibility or DHCP State. If it does, the SM will no longer request the config file when it is rebooted. 5 Check the event log of the SM to see the status of the configuration file import including any errors that prevented it from importing the file. 6 Capture the DHCP Offer packet from the DHCP server to the SM and verify that Option 66 has the expected URL. Page 7-274 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring Radio via config file Configuring Radio via config file The 450 Platform Family supports export and import of a configuration file from the AP or SM as a text file. The configuration file is in JSON format. To export or import the configuration file, the logged in user needs to be an ADMINISTRATOR and it must not be a read-only account. The exported configuration file contains the complete configuration including all the default values. To keep a backup of the current configuration, the file can be saved as-is and imported later. While importing a configuration file, it can be either imported the full configuration or a sparse configuration containing only the items that need to be changed. If a sparse configuration file is imported, only the items in the file will be imported. Other configuration will remain unchanged. There could also be used a special flag in the configuration file to tell the device to apply the configuration starting from factory default (Refer Special Headers for configuration file on page 7-
276). Import and Export of config file The config file import and export is supported in Configuration > Unit Settings page. The procedure for importing and exporting config file is explained below. Figure 132 Configuration File upload and download page The DHCP server configuration procedure is as follows:
Procedure 25 DHCP server configuration 1 Login to the GUI and go to Configuration > Unit Settings. 2 Under Download Configuration File tab, click on the <mac>.cfg link, where <mac> is the MAC address of the device (for example, 01003ea2c274.cfg). 3 Save the file to the local disk. The below procedure is to be followed for Importing a config file Page 7-275 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring Radio via config file Procedure 26 Import the configuration from the GUI 1 Login to the GUI and go to Configuration Unit Settings. 2 Click on Browse button under Upload and Apply Configuration File tab and select the configuration file from disk. 3 Click Upload followed by Apply Configuration File button click. 4 The Status of Configuration File section will show the results of the upload. 5 Review it to make sure there are no errors. Then click on Reboot to reboot with the imported configuration The special headers for config file is explained below:
Procedure 27 Special Headers for configuration file 1 A "configFileParameters" section can be added to the header to control the behavior of the device when importing configuration. 2 The "setToDefaults" when set to "true" tell the device to reset to factory default configuration and apply the configuration in the file on top of that. So any attribute not in the configuration file will be set to its factory default value. By default, the configuration in the file is merged with the existing configuration on the device. The "rebootIfRequired" flag when set to "true" tell the device to reboot automatically if needed to apply the configuration change. By default, the device will not reboot automatically.

Device software images can be downloaded from http://support.cambiumnetworks.com or from the On Premises cnMaestro server by navigating to Operate >Software Update->Manage Images. Select Device type to display the available images and then click the download icon as shown in Figure 133. Figure 133 Software Upgrade from cnMaestro IP connectivity between PMP Device and the cnMaestro server is established. Ensure Port 443 is open in the firewall as this port is used for secure communication between the PMP device and the cnMaestro server through web sockets. In addition, if the PMP device and cnMaestro server are on different subnets, proper routes should be established for communication. For PMP AP, a valid DNS setting is required so that the AP will be able to resolve the cnMaestro URL. DNS settings can be verified by performing a DNS lookup under Tools->DNS Test on the AP as shown in Figure 134. Page 7-278 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring cnMaestroTM Connectivity Figure 134 DNS Test for cnMaestro connectivity If the SM is in Bridge mode, then LAN1 must have public accessbility with a public IP assigned and corresponding DNS setting. If the SM is in NAT mode, then Remote Management should be enabled with the standalone configuration option and DNS settings.

Troubleshooting-Device-or/m-p/54503#U54503 Zero Touch on boarding of the PMP SMs when the corresponding AP is on boarded First a link should be established between the PMP AP and SM either by configuring manually or using the ICC. Once the AP and SM link is established, the AP must be onboarded to cnMaestro using one of several ways detailed above under the Onboarding section. Once the AP is onboarded to cnMaestro Cloud or On premises cnMaestroserver, the SMs under the AP will automatically onboard to cnMaestro using a Zero touch token that is communicated between the AP and SMs. This is applicable to existing SMs registered to the AP as well as new SMs registering to the AP for the first time. The SMs appear on the onboarding queue of cnMaestro and the operator must Approve the devices in order to manage them. The following operations for PMP Devices are available on cnMaestro Monitor the device details in the Dashboard page by navigating to the Monitor >Dashboard menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Monitor notifications related to the PMP AP/SM by navigating to the Monitor >Notifications Menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Monitor device statistics on the statistics page by navigating to the Monitor >Statistics menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree, then selecting the PMP AP or PMP SM in the Device type dropdown. Monitor Performance graphs related to the PMP AP/SM by navigating to the Monitor
>Performance menu and selecting the required performance graph (i.e Throughput, SMs, Modulation) and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Troubleshoot the device on the Troubleshooting page by navigating to the Monitor >Tools menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree. Page 7-281 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring cnMaestroTM Connectivity Configure the devices by navigating to the Configure >Devices menu and selecting the PMP AP/SM in the tree and selecting the config template that needs to be pushed to the device. Configuration templates need to be created before the configuration can be pushed to the device. The template can be created by copying the existing configuration from the view device configuration link provided in the same page and then modifying the template as needed and then pushing to the same device or other similar devices. Template needs to be properly reviewed for IP Address and other critical parameters to avoid stranding SMs
(resulting in a truck roll) by pushing an incorrect configuration. Configuration templates can be created by navigating to the Configure->Templates page and selecting the PMP device type while creating the template. Once on 14.2.1, PMP devices can be upgraded to future supported versions from cnMaestro by navigating to the Operate > Software Update page and selecting the PMP Sectors option from the device type drop down and the version to which the device needs to be upgraded. It is recommended to upgrade the AP first, then the SMs. PMP Device Inventory details can be reviewed by navigating to the Monitor >Inventory page. Page 7-282 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server Configuring a RADIUS server in a PMP 450 Platform network is optional, but can provide added security, increase ease of network management and provide usage-based billing data. Understanding RADIUS for PMP 450 Platform Family PMP 450 Platform modules include support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol supporting Authentication and Accounting. RADIUS Functions RADIUS protocol support provides the following functions:
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. SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), CIR
(Committed Information Rate), High Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP. SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. Centralized AP and SM user name and password management allows AP and SM usernames and access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician) to be centrally administered in the RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events
(logon/logoff) for each username on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Networks Wireless Manager. This accounting is not the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account. Framed IP allows operators to use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules (framed IP address). Tested RADIUS Servers The Canopy RADIUS implementation has been tested and is supported on FreeRADIUS, Version 2.1.8 Aradial RADIUS, Version 5.1.12 Microsoft RADIUS (Windows Server 2012 R2 version) Cisco ACS, Version 5.7.0.15 Page 7-283 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Aradial 5.3 has a bug that prevents remote device login, so doesnt support the user name and password management feature. Choosing Authentication Mode and Configuring for Authentication Servers - AP On the APs Configuration > Security tab, select the RADIUS AAA Authentication Mode. The following describes the other Authentication Mode options for reference, and then the RADIUS AAA option. Disabled: Requires no authentication. Any SM (except a SM that itself has been configured to require RADIUS authentication by enabling Enforce Authentication as described below) is allowed to register to the AP. Authentication Server: Authentication Server in this instance refers to Wireless Manager in BAM-only mode. Authentication is required for a SM to register to the AP. Only SMs listed by MAC address in the Wireless Manager database is allowed to register to the AP. AP Pre-Shared Key: Canopy offers a pre-shared key authentication option. In this case, an identical key must be entered in the Authentication Key field on the APs Configuration >
Security tab and in the Authentication Key field on each desired SMs Configuration >
Security tab. RADIUS AAA: To support RADIUS authentication of SMs, on the APs Configuration >
Security tab select RADIUS AAA. Only properly configured SMs with a valid certificate is allowed to register to the AP. When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network, and does not progress trying the other servers. The default IP address is 0.0.0.0. The default Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret can be up to 32 ASCII characters (no diacritical marks or ligatures, for example). Page 7-284 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Table 160 Security tab attributes Page 7-285 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Attribute Meaning Authentication Mode Operators may use this field to select the following authentication modes:
Disabledthe AP requires no SMs to authenticate. Authentication Server the AP requires any SM that attempts registration to be authenticated in Wireless Manager before registration. AP PreShared Key - The AP acts as the authentication server to its SMs and will make use of a user-configurable pre-shared authentication key. The operator enters this key on both the AP and all SMs desired to register to that AP. There is also an option of leaving the AP and SMs at their default setting of using the Default Key. Due to the nature of the authentication operation, if you want to set a specific authentication key, then you MUST configure the key on all of the SMs and reboot them BEFORE enabling the key and option on the AP. Otherwise, if you configure the AP first, none of the SMs is able to register. RADIUS AAA - When RADIUS AAA is selected, up to 3 Authentication Server (RADIUS Server) IP addresses and Shared Secrets can be configured. The IP address(s) configured here must match the IP address(s) of the RADIUS server(s). The shared secret(s) configured here must match the shared secret(s) configured in the RADIUS server(s). Servers 2 and 3 are meant for backup and reliability, not for splitting the database. If Server 1 doesnt respond, Server 2 is tried, and then server 3. If Server 1 rejects authentication, the SM is denied entry to the network and does not progress trying the other servers. Authentication Server DNS Usage The management DNS domain name may be toggled such that the name of the authentication server only needs to be specified and the DNS domain name is automatically appended to that name. Authentication Server 1 Authentication Server 2 Authentication Server 3 Enter the IP address or server name of the authentication server
(RADIUS or WM) and the Shared Secret configured in the authentication server. When Authentication Mode RADIUS AAA is selected, the default value of Shared Secret is CanopySharedSecret. The Shared Secret Authentication may consist of up to 32 ASCII characters. Server 4 (BAM Only) Authentication Server 5 (BAM Only) Radius Port This field allows the operator to configure a custom port for RADIUS server communication. The default value is 1812. Authentication Key The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when Authentication Mode is set to AP Pre-Shared Key. By default, this key is set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Page 7-286 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Selection Key This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication Encryption Key Specify the type of airlink security to apply to this AP. The encryption setting must match the encryption setting of the SMs. None provides no encryption on the air link. DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the system. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys to establish a higher level of security than DES. AES products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in the U.S.A. SM Display of AP You can use this field to suppress the display of data about this AP on Evaluation Data the AP Evaluation tab of the Tools page in all SMs that register. Web, Telnet, FTP Enter the expiry in seconds for remote management sessions via HTTP, Session Timeout telnet, or ftp access to the AP. IP Access Control You can permit access to the AP from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering Enabled). If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address Allowed Source IP 1 If you selected IP Access Filtering Enabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then you must populate at least one of the three Allowed Source IP parameters or have no access permitted to the AP from any IP address. You may populate as many as all three. Allowed Source IP 2 If you selected IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control Allowed Source IP 3 parameter, then no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted. Web Access The Radio supports secured and non-secured web access protocols. Select suitable web access from drop down list:
HTTP Only provides non-secured web access. The radio to be accessed via http://<IP of Radio>. HTTPS Only provides a secured web access. The radio to be accessed via https1://<IP of Radio>. Page 7-287 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server HTTP and HTTPS If enabled, the radio can be accessed via both http and https. SNMP This option allows to configure SNMP agent communication version. It can be selected from drop down list :
SNMPv2c Only Enables SNMP v2 community protocol. SNMPv3 Only Enables SNMP v3 protocol. It is secured communication protocol. SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 It enables both the protocols. Telnet FTP TFTP This option allows to Enable and Disable Telnet access to the Radio. This option allows to Enable and Disable FTP access to the Radio. This option allows to Enable and Disable TFTP access to the Radio. Page 7-288 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server SM Authentication Mode Require RADIUS or Follow AP If it is desired that a SM will only authenticate to an AP that is using RADIUS, on the SMs Configuration Security tab set Enforce Authentication to AAA. With this enabled, SM does not register to an AP that has any Authentication Mode other than RADIUS AAA selected. If it is desired that a SM use the authentication method configured on the AP it is registering to, set Enforce Authentication to Disabled. With Enforce Authentication disabled, a SM will attempt to register using whichever Authentication Mode is configured on the AP it is attempting to register to. Note Having SMs to use RADIUS by enabling Enforce Authentication avoids the security issue of SMs possibly registering to rogue APs, which have authentication disabled. Table 161 SM Security tab attributes Page 7-289 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Attribute Meaning Authentication Key Authentication Mode is set to AP PreShared Key. By default, this key is The authentication key is a 32-character hexadecimal string used when set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. This option allows operators to choose which authentication key is used:
Use Key above means that the key specified in Authentication Key is Select Key used for authentication Use Default Key means that a default key (based off of the SMs MAC address) is used for authentication The SM may enforce authentication types of AAA and AP Pre-
Enforce sharedKey. The SM will not finish the registration process if the AP is not Authentication using the configured authentication method (and the SM locks out the AP for 15 minutes). Enforce Authentication default setting is Disable. The protocols supported for the Phase 1 (Outside Identity) phase of authentication are EAPTTLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol Tunneled Transport Layer Security) or MSCHAPv2 (Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2). Select the desired Phase 2 (Inside Identity) authentication protocol from the Phase 2 options of PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP

Page 7-293 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Handling Certificates Managing SM Certificates via the SM GUI The default public Canopy certificates are loaded into SMs upon factory software installation. The default certificates are not secure and are intended for use during lab and field trials as part of gaining experience with the RADIUS functionalities or as an option during debug. For secure operation, an operator will want to create or procure their own certificates. Resetting a SM to its factory defaults will remove the current certificates and restore the default certificates. Up to two certificates can be resident on a SM. An installed certificate can be deleted by clicking the Delete button in the certificates description block on the Configuration > Security tab. To restore the 2 default certificates, click the Use Default Certificates button in the RADIUS Certificate Settings parameter block and reboot the radio. To upload a certificate manually to a SM, first load it in a known place on your PC or network drive, then click on a Delete button on one of the Certificate description blocks to delete a certificate to provide space for your certificate. Click on Choose File, browse to the location of the certificate, and click the Import Certificate button, and then reboot the radio to use the new certificate. When a certificate is in use, after the SM successfully registers to an AP, an indication of In Use will appear in the description block of the certificate being used. The public certificates installed on the SMs are used with the private certificate on the RADIUS server to provide a public/private key encryption system. Note Root certificates of more than one level (Example - a certificate from someone who received their CA from Verisign) fails. Certificates must be either root or self-signed. Page 7-294 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Figure 137 SM Certificate Management Configuring RADIUS servers for SM authentication Your RADIUS server must be configured to use the following:
EAPTTLS or MSCHAPv2 as the Phase 1/Outer Identity protocol. If Enable Realm is selected on the SMs Configuration > Security tab, then the same Realm appears there (or access to it). The same Phase 2 (Inner Identity) protocol as configured on the SMs Configuration >
Security tab under Phase 2 options. The username and password for each SM configured on each SMs Configuration > Security tab. An IP address and NAS shared secret that is the same as the IP address and Shared Secret configured on the APs Configuration > Security tab for that RADIUS server. Page 7-295 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server A server private certificate, server key, and CA certificate that complement the public certificates distributed to the SMs, as well as the Canopy dictionary file that defines Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAa). Default certificate files and the dictionary file are available from the software site: https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 after entering your name, email address, and either Customer Contract Number or the MAC address of a module covered under the 12 month warranty. Optionally, operators may configure the RADIUS server response messages (Accept or Reject) so that the user has information as to why they have been rejected. The AP displays the RADIUS Authentication Reply message strings in the Session Status list as part of each SMs information. The SM will show this string (listed as Authentication Response on the SM GUI) on the main Status page in the Subscriber Module Stats section. Note Aradial AAA servers only support operator-configurable Authentication Accept responses, not Authentication Reject responses. Page 7-296 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Assigning SM management IP addressing via RADIUS Operators may use a RADIUS AAA server to assign management IP addressing to SM modules
(framed IP address). SMs now interpret attributes Framed-IP-Address, Framed-IP-Netmask, and Cambium-Canopy-Gateway from RADIUS. The RADIUS dictionary file has been updated to include the Cambium-Canopy-Gateway attribute and is available on the Cambium Software Support website. In order for these attributes to be assigned and used by the SM, the following must be true:
The system is configured for AAA authentication The SM is not configured for DHCP on its management interface. If DHCP is enabled and these attributes are configured in the RADIUS server, the attributes is ignored by the SM. The SM management interface must be configured to be publically accessible. If the SM is configured to have local accessibility, the management interface will still be assigned the framed addressing, and the SM iscome publicly accessible via the assigned framed IP addressing. When using these attributes, for the addressing to be implemented by the SM operators must configure Framed-IP-Address in RADIUS. If Framed-IP-Address is not configured but Framed-
IP-Netmask and/or Cambium-Canopy-Gateway is configured, the attributes is ignored. In the case where only the Framed-IP-Address is configured, Framed-IP-Netmask defaults to 255.255.0.0 (NAT disabled) / 255.255.255.0 (NAT enabled) and Cambium-Canopy-Gateway defaults to 0.0.0.0. Configuring RADIUS server for SM configuration Canopy Vendor Specific Attributes (VSAs) along with VSA numbers and other details are listed in Table 162. The associated SM GUI page, tab and parameter are listed to aid cross-referencing and understanding of the VSAs. A RADIUS dictionary file is available from the software site:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450 The RADIUS dictionary file defines the VSAs and their values and is usually imported into the RADIUS server as part of server and database setup. Page 7-297 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server Note Beginning with System Release 12.0.2, two RADIUS dictionary files are available on the Cambium website RADIUS Dictionary file Cambium and RADIUS Dictionary file Motorola. In addition to a renaming of attributes, the Cambium-branded dictionary file contains two new VSAs for controlling uplink and downlink Maximum Burst Data Rate (these VSAs are listed below in Table 162). If you are transitioning from the Motorola-branded dictionary file to the Cambium-
branded dictionary file, ensure that all RADIUS profiles containing Motorola-Canopy attribute references are updated to include Cambium-Canopy attribute references (for all applicable VSAs listed in Table 162). Also, ensure that all RADIUS configuration files reference the new dictionary file (as an alternative, operators may rename the Cambium-branded dictionary file to the filename currently in use by the RADIUS server). Once the profiles are updated and the new Cambium-branded dictionary file is installed on the RADIUS server, restart the RADIUS server to ensure that the new VSAs and attribute names are enabled.

Device Access Tracking is enabled separately from User Authentication Mode. A given AP or SM can be configured for both, either, or neither. RADIUS Device Data Accounting PMP 450 Platform systems include support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP. The attributes included in the RADIUS accounting messages are shown in the table below. Table 165 Device data accounting RADIUS attributes Sender Message Attribute Value Description AP Accounting-

The data accounting configuration is located on the APs Accounts > User Authentication and Access Tracking GUI menu, and the APs Authentication Mode must be set to Radius AAA for the menu to appear. The accounting may be configured via the AP GUI as shown in the figures below. By default accounting messages are not sent and the operator has the choice of configuring to send only Device Access accounting messages (when a user logs in or out of the radio), only Data Usage messages, or both. When Data Accounting is enabled, the operator must specify the interval of when the data accounting messages are sent (0 disabled, or in the range of 30-10080 minutes). The default interval is 30 minutes. Figure 140 RADIUS accounting messages configuration Page 7-308 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server The data accounting message data is based on the SM statistics that the AP maintains, and these statistics may be cleared on the AP by an operator. If an operator clears these messages and data accounting is enabled, an accounting stop message is sent followed by an accounting start message to notify the AAA of the change. If an operator clears the VC statistics on the device through the management GUI, a RADIUS stop message and data start message is issued for each device affected. The start and stop messages will only be sent once every 5 minutes, so if an operator clears these statistics multiple times within 5 minutes, only one set of data stop/start messages is sent. This may result in inaccurate data accumulation results. RADIUS Device Re-authentication PMP 450 Platform systems include support for periodic SM re-authentication in a network without requiring the SM to re-register (and drop the session). The re-authentication may be configured to occur in the range of every 30 minutes to weekly. Figure 141 Device re-authentication configuration The re-authentication interval is only configurable on the AP. When this feature is enabled, each SM that enters the network will re-authenticate each the interval time has expired without dropping the session. The response that the SM receives from the AAA server upon re-
authentication is one of the following:
Success: The SM continues normal operation Reject: The SM de-registers and will attempt network entry again after 1 minute and then if rejected will attempt re-entry every 15 minutes Timeout or other error: The SM remains in session and attempt 5 times to re-authenticate with the RADIUS-REQUEST message. If these attempts fail, then the SM will go out of session and proceed to re-authenticate after 5 minutes, then every 15 minutes. Although re-authentication is an independent feature, it was designed to work alongside with the RADIUS data usage accounting messages. If a user is over their data usage limit the network operator can reject the user from staying in the network. Operators may configure the RADIUS Reply-Message attribute with an applicable message (i.e. Data Usage Limit Reached) that is sent to the subscriber module and displayed on the general page. Page 7-309 Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring a RADIUS server RADIUS Change of Authorization and Disconnect Message Prior to this feature, SM will get configuration parameters from a RADIUS server during authentication process. This feature allows an administrator to control configuration parameters in the SM while SM is in session. The configuration changes in SM are done using RADIUS Change of Authorization method (RFC 3576) on the existing RADIUS authentication framework for AP and SM. A typical use case could be changing the QOS parameters after a certain amount of bandwidth usage by a SM. Figure 142 RADIUS CoA configuration for AP The RADIUS CoA feature enables initiating a bi-directional communication from the RADIUS server(s) to the AP and SM. The AP listens on UDP port 3799 and accepts CoA requests from the configured RADIUS servers. This CoA request should contain SM MAC address in User-Name attribute as identifier and all other attributes which control the SM config parameters. For security reasons, a timestamp also needs to be added as Event-Timestamp attribute. Hence the time should also be synchronized between the RADIUS server(s) and the AP to fit within a window of 300 seconds. Once the configuration changes are applied on the SM, CoA-ACK message is sent back to RADIUS server. If the validation fails, the AP sends a CoA-NACK response to the RADIUS server with proper error code. A Disconnect-Message is sent by the RADIUS server to NAS in order to terminate a user session on a NAS and discard all associated session context. It is used when the authentication AAA server wants to disconnect the user after the session has been accepted by the RADIUS. In response of Disconnect-Request from RADIUS server, the NAS sends a Disconnect-ACK if all associated session context is discarded, or a Disconnect-NACK, if the NAS is unable to disconnect the session. Note The RADIUS CoA feature will only enabled if Authentication mode is set to RADIUS AAA. Page 7-310
