About This User Guide 17 Chapter 1: Product Description This chapter provides a high-level description of the ePMP product. It describes the function of the product, the main product variants, and the typical installation. It also describes the main ha rdware components. The following topics are described in this chapter:
The key features, typical uses, product variants, and components of the ePMP are explained in the Overview of ePMP. How the ePMP wireless link is operated, including modulation modes, power control, and security is described under Wireless operation. The ePMP management system, including the web interface, installation, configuration, alerts, and upgrades is described in System management. Overview of ePMP This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants, and components of the ePMP portfolio as a whole (802.11n and 802.11ac products). Purpose ePMP Portfolio Cambium ePMP Series products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-to-multipoint and point-
to-point microwave links in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz, 2.5 GHz (Brazil only), 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. Users must ensure that the ePMP Series complies with local operating regulations. ePMP devices support point-to-point microwave links in the unlicensed 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. The ePMP Series acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of the operator and customers networks. In this sense, it can be treated as a virtual wired connection between the Access Point (AP) and the Subscriber Module (SM). The ePMP series forwards 802.3 Ethernet packets destined for the other part of the network and filters packets it does not need to forward and can deliver unicast data to unknown destinations as broadcast, similar to a switch functionality. ePMP 3000 The ePMP 3000 is a rugged high-capacity outdoor point-to-multipoint or point-to-point link wireless device in the unlicensed 5 GHz frequency bands with a maximum UDP sector throughput of up to 1+
Gbps (when operating with 80 MHz channel bandwidth). It is capable of operating in Line-of-Sight (LoS) and near-LoS conditions and supports Quality of Service (QoS) for traffic prioritization. It is available as a connectorized unit for use with a separate 4x4 MU-MIMO Sector/Dual-Horn/Omni antenna and optional Smart Antenna (for uplink beam steering). ePMP 3000 supports maximum information rate (MIR) further allowing the operator to manage traffic profiles for end customers. ePMP 3000 provides Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) for North America (FCC) and supports additional DFS tuning balances detection of actual DFS signals vs false detection. Chapter 1: Product Description 18 ePMP 3000 supports backward and forward compatibility with ePMP 802.11n devices to provide an immediate sector upgrade to 802.11ac Wave 2 performance, and also to support future upgrades of networks operating ePMP 1000/2000 APs. ePMP 3000 is based on highly integrated wireless semiconductor components designed to meet the IEEE 802.11ac standard, however, the ePMP 3000 device has a proprietary air interface for the main point-to-multipoint or point-to-point link. ePMP 3000 is powered by standard power-over-Ethernet to a 1000BASE-T port. Management of the unit is conducted via the same interface as the bridged traffic (in-band Management). An overview of ePMP 3000 is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: ePMP 3000 A summary of the main ePMP 3000 characteristics is listed under Table 1. Table 1 Main characteristics of the ePMP 3000 Series Characteristic Value Topology PMP or PTP Wireless link condition LoS, near LoS Scheduler TDD Connectivity Ethernet Operating frequencies Unlicensed bands, 5 GHz Channel Bandwidth 10 MHz*, 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz Data rate Up to 1+ Gbps Sector Throughput Chapter 1: Product Description 19
* The 10 MHz Channel Bandwidth is only supported with Force 300-19R SM. ePMP 3000L The ePMP 3000L is the third-generation Access Point (AP) that carries on the interference tolerance mechanisms with an emphasis on high-performance in low-density point to multipoint sectors. The ePMP 3000L is a 2x 2 MIMO connectorized AP that can support a wide variety of deployments including 90/120-degree sectors, narrow-sector horns, or even 360-degree Omni coverage. Also, the ePMP 3000L continues interference mitigation techniques with the support of TDD synchronization using GPS and the robust software from the ePMP product line. The ePMP 3000L system consists of the ePMP 3000L AP, an optional 2x2 sector antenna, and a wide variety of subscriber modules with varying form factors and link budgets. ePMP 3000 supports backward and forward compatibility with ePMP 802.11n devices to provide an immediate sector upgrade to 802.11ac Wave 2 performance, and also to support future upgrades of networks operating ePMP 1000/2000 APs. The ePMP 3000L system boasts a high packet per second performance, peak throughput of 600 Mbps, and supports subscriber modules with up to 600 Mbps of peak throughput. An over view of ePMP 3000L is shown in Figure 2 Figure 2: ePMP 3000L A summary of the main ePMP 3000L characteristics are listed under Table 2.

MIMO Omni Antenna: External Antennas for the ePMP 3000 AP. For more information about these components, including interfaces, specifications, and Cambium part numbers, see Chapter 2: System Hardware. Note This product meets the UL/cUL 62368 / IEC 62368 edition 2 specification, and the radio housings are designed to be rain-tight. Wireless operation This section describes how the ePMP wireless link is operated, including modulation modes, power control, and security. MU-MIMO The ePMP 3000 MU-MIMO AP is equipped with either a sector antenna array or a pseudo-Omni antenna. Antenna diversity allows simultaneous DL transmissions for two subscriber modules for MU-MIMO. As such, the ePMP 3000 APs DL throughput capacity is significantly increased vs. the ePMP 1000/2000 APs. This is a contrast to a traditional wireless system, where two subscribers cannot communicate on the same channel to the same AP at the same time without causing significant self-interference and degrading the overall wireless network performance. MIMO The Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technique protects against fading and increases the probability of a received decoded signal being usable. Smart beamforming (ePMP 2000/3000 series) Powered by Hypure technology, ePMP series APs feature Smart Beamforming. This powerful addition to your network creates narrow, targeted beams to each subscriber, rather than relying on a traditional wide beam, blocking out multiple sources of interference to keep performance high. The System learns the locations of each served Subscriber Module and forms a narrow beam towards the desired Subscriber Module while that radio is transmitting in the uplink. This reduces the gain on the uplink for on-channel interferers that are transmitting at an azimuth angle different than the Subscriber Module, delivering performance gains never seen before. Chapter 1: Product Description 37 Figure 22: Smart beamforming Smart antenna key advantages Eliminate Uplink Interference: Smart Beamforming delivers dramatic performance improvements when dealing with strong co-channel uplink interference, maximizing network performance. Consistent Performance in High Interference: By mitigating significant sources of interference, packet loss and retransmissions are kept to a minimum, keeping your network applications working at their best. Improvement in Uplink and Downlink Performance: By eliminating packet loss and retransmissions resulting from co-channel uplink interference, TCP retransmissions are greatly reduced. Other applications also show significant performance benefits. Intelligent Filtering improves both receive and transmit performance. It protects the network from off-channel interferers with a filter that dynamically moves around the channel. On the transmit side, it protects the RF environment by reducing off-channel transmission noise. Time-division duplexing TDD cycle ePMP links operate using Time Division Duplexing (TDD). The links employ a TDD cycle in which the AP determines which Subscriber Modules may transmit and when based on the configured downlink/uplink ratio (duty cycle). Three fixed Downlink/Uplink frame ratios are available 75/25, 50/50, and 30/70. OFDM and channel bandwidth ePMP 3000 transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). This wideband signal consists of many equally spaced sub-carriers. Although each subcarrier is modulated at a low rate using conventional modulation schemes, the resultant data rate from all the sub-carriers is high. The channel bandwidth of the OFDM signal is 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz, based on operator configuration. Each channel is offset in center frequency from its neighboring channel by 5 MHz. Chapter 1: Product Description 38 Adaptive modulation ePMP 3000 can transport data over the wireless link using several different modulation modes ranging from 256-QAM to QPSK. For a given channel bandwidth and TDD frame structure, each modulation mode transports data at a fixed rate. Also, the receiver requires a given signal-to-noise ratio to successfully demodulate a given modulation mode. Although the more complex modulations such as 256-QAM will transport data at a much higher rate than the less complex modulation modes, the receiver requires a much higher signal-to-noise ratio. ePMP 3000 provides an adaptive modulation scheme where the receiver constantly monitors the quality of the received signal and notifies the far end of the link of the optimum modulation mode with which to transmit. In this way, optimum capacity is achieved at all times. Radar avoidance In regions where the protection of radars is part of the local regulations, ePMP must detect interference from radar-like systems and avoid co-channel operation with these systems. To meet this requirement, ePMP implements the following features:
The equipment can only transmit on available channels, of which there are none at initial power-
up. The radar detection algorithm will always scan a usable channel for 60 seconds for radar interference before making the channel an available channel. This compulsory channel scan will mean that there is at least 60 seconds service outage every time radar is detected, and that the installation time is extended by at least 60 seconds even if there is found to be no radar on the channel. There is a secondary requirement for bands requiring radar avoidance. Regulators have mandated that products provide a uniform loading of the spectrum across all devices. In general, this prevents operation with fixed frequency allocations. However:
ETSI regulations do allow frequency planning of networks (as that has the same effect of spreading the load across the spectrum). The FCC does allow channels to be avoided if there is actual interference on them. Note When operating in a region that requires DFS, ensure that the AP is configured with alternate frequencies and that the SM is configured to scan for these frequencies to avoid long outages. Encryption ePMP supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The encryption algorithm used is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 128-bit key size. AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm approved by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information. Country codes Some aspects of the wireless operation are controlled, enforced, or restricted according to a country code. ePMP country codes represent individual countries (for example Denmark) or regulatory regions
(for example FCC or ETSI). Country codes affect the following aspects of wireless operation:
Chapter 1: Product Description 39 Maximum transmit power Radar avoidance (future release) Frequency range Attention To avoid possible enforcement action by the country regulator, always operate links in accordance with local regulations Further reading on the wireless operation For information on planning wireless operation, see:
The regulatory restrictions that affect radio spectrum usages, such as frequency range and radar avoidance are described under Radio spectrum planning. The factors to be taken into account when planning links such as range, path loss, and data throughput are described under Link planning. The safety specifications against which the ePMP has been tested are listed under Compliance with safety standards . It also describes how to keep RF exposure within safe limits. How ePMP complies with the radio regulations that are enforced in various countries is explained in Compliance with radio regulations. For more information on configuring and operating the wireless link, see:
The configuration parameters of the ePMP devices are described under Using the menu options. Post-installation procedures and troubleshooting tips are explained under Chapter 5: Operation and Troubleshooting. System management This section introduces the ePMP management system, including the web interface, installation, alerts, and upgrades, configuration, and management software. Management agent ePMP 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, SFP port, over the air (Subscriber Module connection via AP), or by using the device Wi-Fi management interface. The management agent supports the following interfaces:
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPs) Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Network Time Protocol (NTP) System logging (Syslog) Chapter 1: Product Description 40 cnMaestro Cloud-based or On-premises Management System Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Webserver The ePMP management agent contains a web server. The web server supports access via the HTTP and HTTPs interfaces. Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the ePMP 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-based interfaces are the only interfaces supported for the installation of ePMP, and the majority of ePMP configuration management tasks. 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 (default username/password admin), who has full read and write permission. INSTALLER (default username/password installer), who has permission to read and write parameters applicable to unit installation and monitoring. HOME (default username/password home), who has permission only to access pertinent information for support purposes READONLY (default username/password readonly), who has permission to only view the Monitor page. SNMP The management agent supports fault and performance management utilizing an SNMP interface. The management agent is compatible with SNMP v2c using one Management Information Base (MIB) file which is available for download from the Cambium Networks support site:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/epmp. 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 on 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. ePMP devices may receive NTP data from a CMM module or an NTP server configured in the systems management network. The Time Zone option is configurable on the Configure > System page and may be used to offset the received NTP time to match the operators local time zone. Software upgrade Software upgrades may be issued via the radio web interface (Tools > Software Upgrade) or cnMaestro
(cloud.cambiumnetworks.com). For software upgrades, see https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/epmp.

Site Planning Conduct a site survey to ensure that the proposed sites meet the requirements defined in this section. Site installation An ePMP site typically consists of a high supporting structure such as a mast, tower, or building for the devices. Find a location for the device 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. The equipment is lower than the top of the supporting structure (tower, mast, or building) or its lightning air terminal. There is one Ethernet interface, a copper Cat5e connection from the device to the power supply, and network terminating equipment. Grounding and lightning protection Structures, equipment, and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by lightning) by conducting the surge current to the ground via a separate preferential solid path. The actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. To adequately protect an ePMP installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are required. Chapter 2: System Hardware 44 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. 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. Note International and national standards take precedence over the requirements in this guide. Figure 23: Access Point installation diagram Chapter 2: System Hardware 45 Figure 24: Subscriber / Point-to-Point installation diagram Lightning protection zones Use the rolling sphere method (Figure 25) 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. Chapter 2: System Hardware 46 Figure 25: Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones Assess locations on masts, towers, and buildings to determine if the location is in Zone A or Zone B:
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 Do not mount equipment in Zone A which can put the equipment, structures, and life at risk. ePMP 3000 Access Point For details of the ePMP 3000 Access Point hardware, see:

(*1) The maximum length of Ethernet cable from the device to the network device needs to follow 802.3 standards. If the power supply is not the network device the cable from the power supply to the network device must be included in the total maximum cable length. Outdoor Cat5e cable Cambium Industrial Cable Cambium Industrial Cable uses 24-gauge solid bare copper conductors, covered by bonded-pair polymer insulation. The conductors are protected by double-layer shielding consisting of a solid foil layer under the braided tinned copper mesh, providing excellent shielding while maximizing flexibility. And, the cable is jacketed by industrial-grade UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and oil-resistant PVC. Cambiums Industrial RJ45 connectors are specifically designed to work optimally with Cambium Industrial Cable. The connectors are fully shielded with integrated strain relief for greater pull strength, utilize a staggered contact design that minimizes crosstalk, and maximizes electrical performance, and the contacts are plated with 50 micro-inch thick 24-carat gold, exceeding TIA-1096 specifications and ensuring the best possible connection and oxidation resistance. Cambium Networks industrial-grade cable is well suited for high-quality durable installations of subscriber modules, APs, and enterprise point-to-point links as well as in tactical non-permanent deployments of infrastructure.

Surge suppression unit Structures, equipment, and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by lightning) by conducting the surge current to the ground via a separate preferential solid path. The actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. To adequately protect an ePMP installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are required. Chapter 2: System Hardware 138 Network operators should always follow best practices for grounding and lightning protection. Doing so will minimize network outages and reduce the associated costs of tower climbs and equipment repair/replacement. Note Lightning-prone installations can be improved by:
Installing a surge suppressor near the device (transient surge suppression) Grounding the device to the pole (ground bonding) Lowering the device/dish such that it is not the highest metallic object on the pole. Gigabit Ethernet surge suppressor The Gigabit Ethernet surge suppressor is critical for lightning protection to minimize the potential for damage.

Chapter 2: System Hardware 140 Chapter 3: System Planning This chapter provides information to help the user to plan an ePMP link. The following topics are described in this chapter:
How to plan ePMP links to conform to the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation is explained under Radio spectrum planning Factors to be considered when planning links such as range, path loss, and throughput are described under Link planning The grounding and lightning protection requirements of an ePMP installation are described under Grounding and lightning protection Factors to be considered when planning ePMP data networks are described under Data network planning Radio spectrum planning This section describes how to plan ePMP links to conform to the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation. Attention The user must ensure the ePMP product operates in accordance with local regulatory limits. Note Contact the applicable radio regulator to check if the registration of the ePMP link is required. General wireless specifications The wireless specifications that apply to ePMP 802.11ac variants are listed under Table 128. The wireless specifications that are specific to each frequency variant are listed in Table 129. Table 128 Wireless specifications (all variants) Item Specification Channel selection Manual selection (fixed frequency) Automatic Channel Selection Manual power control To avoid interference with other users of the band, maximum power can be set lower than the default power limit.

Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the ePMP Series. For example, in the 5 GHz band, these limits are calculated as follows:
In the 5.8 GHz band (5725 MHz to 5875 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 36 dBm or
(23 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm. Some countries (for example the USA) impose conducted power limits on products operating in the 5 GHz band. Chapter 3: System Planning 142 Conforming to the limits Ensure the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements by configuring the correct country code (located in the web management interface, under Configure > Radio). In the following situations, the country code does not automatically prevent operation outside the regulations:
When operating in ETSI regions, it is required to enter a license key in the ePMP web management interface to unlock valid country-specific frequencies. This key may be obtained from https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/licensekeys/epmp. Available spectrum The available spectrum for the operation depends on the region. When configured with the appropriate country code, the unit will only allow operation on those channels which are permitted by the regulations. Certain regulations have allocated certain channels as unavailable for use:
Some European countries have allocated part of the 5.8 GHz band to Road Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) systems. Where regulatory restrictions apply to certain channels, these channels are barred automatically by the use of the correct country code. For example, at 5.8 GHz in some European countries, the RTTT band 5795 MHz to 5815 MHz is barred. With the appropriate country code configured for this region, the ePMP will not operate on channels within this band. The number and identity of channels barred by the license key and country code are dependent on the channel bandwidth. Channel bandwidth Select the required channel bandwidth for the link. The selection depends upon the ePMP frequency variant and country code. The wider a channel bandwidth the greater is its 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. Link planning This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning links, such as range, obstacles path loss, and throughput. 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 to achieve an accurate link feasibility assessment. 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 Chapter 3: System Planning 143 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) Equipment Capability (dB) Free space path loss is a major determinant in received (Rx) 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, the fade margin is the difference between the strength of the received signal and the strength that the receiver requires for maintaining a 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. Data network planning This section describes factors to be considered when planning ePMP data networks. Ethernet interfaces The ePMP Ethernet ports conform to the specifications listed in Table 130. Table 130 Ethernet bridging specifications Ethernet Bridging Specification Protocol 10BASE-Te/100BASE-Tx/1000BASE-T IEEE 802.3 IEEE 802.3at (PoE) IEEE802.3u compliant Auto-negotiation Chapter 3: System Planning 144 Ethernet Bridging Specification Interface 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) Maximum Ethernet Frame Size 1700 bytes Service classes for bridged traffic 3 classes Note Practical Ethernet rates will depend on network configuration, higher layer protocols, and platforms used. Over the air, throughput will be capped to the rate of the Ethernet interface at the receiving end of the link. Management VLAN Decide if the IP interface of the device management agent will be connected in a VLAN. If so, decide if this is a standard (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN or provider bridged (IEEE 802.1ad) VLAN, and select the VLAN ID for this VLAN. The use of a separate management VLAN is strongly recommended. The use of the management VLAN helps to ensure that the device management agent cannot be accessed by customers. Quality of service for bridged Ethernet traffic Decide how the quality of service will be configured in ePMP to minimize frame loss and latency for high-
priority traffic. Wireless links often have lower data capacity than wired links or network equipment like switches and routers, and quality of service configuration is most critical at network bottlenecks. ePMP provides three priority types for traffic waiting for transmission over the wireless link Voice, High and Low. Low is the lowest priority and Voice is the highest priority. Traffic is scheduled using strict priority; in other words, traffic in a given priority is transmitted when all higher-priority transmissions are complete. Chapter 3: System Planning 145 Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface This chapter describes all configuration and alignment tasks that are performed when an ePMP system is deployed. Configure the units by performing the following tasks:

(SM mode), or the previously-configured static Device IP Address. Units may always be accessed via the Ethernet port at 169.254.1.1. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 148 Note All the new ePMP devices contain default username and password configurations. It is recommended to change the password configurations immediately. These passwords may be configured in the management UI in section Configuration > System > Account Management. Using the installation wizard Access Point The ePMP device provides a guided configuration mechanism for configuring key parameters for the link operation. This setup can be accessed from the Installation page by clicking the button. Click Finish Setup to commit the changes to the device. Step 1: Main system parameters Figure 63: Quick Start page Attribute Description Main Device Name The configured identifier used in an NMS such as cnMaestro Backward Compatibility Enabled: 802.11n ePMP subscribers can register to the AP (requires subscriber software upgrade). Disabled: 802.11n ePMP subscribers are not able to register to the AP. SSID SSID is a unique identifier for a wireless LAN which is specified in the APs beacon.
(Access Point Mode). SSID must be the same at both ends and different from the site name. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 149 Step 2: Radio parameters Figure 64: Radio parameters page Attribute Description Radio Country Defines the country code being used by the device. The country code of the Subscriber Module follows the country code of the associated AP unless it is an FCC SKU in which case the country code is the United States or Canada. Country code defines the regulatory rules in use for the device. Driver Mode TDD: The device is operating in point-to-multipoint (PMP) mode using TDD scheduling. The AP can GPS synchronize in this mode. ePTP Master: The AP is operating as a Master in point-to-point mode. The AP does not support GPS Synchronization in this mode but can provide significantly lower latency than other modes. QoS (MIR and traffic priority) capability and Link Quality/Capacity indicators are not available in this mode. TDD PTP: The AP is operating in point-to-point (PTP) mode using TDD scheduling. The AP can GPS synchronize in this mode. The schedule of downlink traffic to uplink traffic on the radio link. The three options, 75/25, 50/50, and 30/70, allow the radio to operate in a fixed ratio on every frame. In other words, this ratio represents the amount of the total radio links aggregate throughput that will be used for downlink resources, and the amount of the total radio links aggregate throughput that will be used for uplink resources. Downlink/Uplink Ratio Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 150 Attribute Description Max Range Channel Bandwidth This parameter represents the cell coverage radius. Subscriber Modules outside the configured radius will not be able to connect. It is recommended to configure Max Range to match the actual physical distance of the farthest subscriber. Configure the channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Frequency Carrier Configure the frequency carrier for RF transmission. This list is dynamically adjusted to the regional restrictions based on the setting of the Country parameter. Ensure that a thorough spectrum analysis has been completed before configuring this parameter. Step 3: Network parameters Figure 65: Network parameters page Attribute Description Network IP Assignment Static: Device management IP addressing is configured manually in fields IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Preferred DNS Server, and Alternate DNS Server. DHCP: Device management IP addressing (IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server) is assigned via a network DHCP server, and parameters IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Preferred DNS Server, and Alternate DNS Server are not configurable. IP Address Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. If IP Address Assignment is set to DHCP and the device is unable to retrieve IP address information via DHCP, the device management IP is set to fallback IP 192.168.0.1 (AP) or 192.168.0.2 (SM). Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 151 Attribute Description Subnet Mask Defines the address range of the connected IP network. For example, if the IP Address is configured to 192.168.2.1 and Subnet Mask is configured to 255.255.255.0, the device will belong to subnet 192.168.2.X. Gateway Configure the IP address of the device on the current network that acts as a gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets from and to other networks.

(AP mode). SSID must be the same at both ends and different from the site name. Based on sector/network planning and subscriber service level implementations, this parameter allows setting the maximum number of subscribers that are allowed to register/gain network entry. The maximum number of subscribers allowed for each channel bandwidth is as follows:
20/40 MHz: 120 subscribers 10 MHz: 60 subscribers 5 MHz: 30 subscribers The maximum registrations allowed depending on the channel bandwidth of the current operating frequency which can be the primary Frequency Carrier or one of the alternate Frequency Carriers. For DFS regions, the maximum number of subscribers is based on the channel bandwidth of the current operating channel. That is Frequency Carrier, Alternate Frequency Carrier 1, or Alternate Frequency Carrier 2. The number of elevate devices that are allowed to register is specified by the applied license. Max Range
(Access Point Mode) This parameter represents the cell coverage radius. Subscriber Modules outside the configured radius will not be able to connect. It is recommended to configure Max Range to match the actual physical distance of the farthest subscriber. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 163 Attribute Description Configure the channel size used by the radio for RF transmission. Channel Bandwidth
(Access Point Mode) Frequency Carrier
(Access Point Mode) Configure the frequency carrier for RF transmission. This list is dynamically adjusted to the regional restrictions based on the setting of the Country parameter. Ensure that a thorough spectrum analysis has been completed before configuring this parameter. Frequency Reuse
(Access Point Mode) The Frequency Reuse parameter allows operators to define which APs are co-
located (or within radio range) with other APs. This definition results in an automatic radio network modification such that self-interference is reduced amongst the co-located sectors. A network in which two frequencies F1 and F2 are reused throughout the installation is shown in Figure 72. Note that CMM3 and CMM4 devices cannot be used as synchronization sources for ePMP 3000, the parameter setting suggestions below serve as a guideline for mixed 802.11n and 802.11ac networks. Figure 73: Frequency reuse installation The set of APs to configure the Frequency Reuse option is dependent on the GPS synchronization sources in the whole network, CMM3, CMM4, CMM5, or GPS. 0B0BThe GPS sync source is the same on all APs or is a combination of GPS, CMM4, CMM5 In this configuration the GPS synchronization source in the whole network is one of the following:
GPS CMM4 Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 164 Attribute Description CMM5 The rules in selecting the APs to enable the Frequency Reuse in this installation are:
Only ONE of the APs on the same tower configured with the same frequency must be configured with the Frequency Reuse Mode parameter set to Back Sector; the other AP must be configured with Frequency Reuse set to Front Sector. Also, APs on different towers facing each other with overlapped coverage must be configured with Frequency Reuse set to Back Sector. 1B1BThe GPS sync source is a mixture of all types (CMM3, CMM4, CMM5 or GPS) In this configuration the GPS sync source in the whole network is one of the following:
(CMM3 and GPS) or
(CMM3 and CMM4 / CMM5) or
(CMM3 and CMM4 / CMM5 and GPS) The rules in selecting the APs to configure Frequency Reuse to Frequency Reuse to Front Sector or Back Sector in a mixture of sync sources installations are:
Only ONE of the APs on the same tower configured with the same frequency must have Frequency Reuse set to Back Sector if the sync source of both APs is the same or the sync is a combination of GPS and CMM4 / CMM5; the other AP has the Front Sector ON. For the APs on different towers facing each other with overlapped coverage:
If both APs have the same sync source, then only ONE of them must have the Back Sector ON; the other AP shall have the Front Sector ON. If one AP has GPS as sync source and the other one has CMM4 / CMM5 then only ONE of them must have Back Sector ON; the other AP shall have Front Sector ON. If one AP has GPS or CMM4 / CMM5 as sync source and the other one has CMM3. If the AP with CMM3 sync source has Back Sector ON, then the other AP
(with GPS or CMM4 / CMM5 sync source) must have the Back Sector ON. If the AP with CMM3 sync source has Frequency Reuse set to Off, then the other AP (with GPS or CMM4 CMM5 sync source) must have Frequency Reuse set to OFF. Power Control Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 165 Attribute Description Transmitter Output Power
(Access Point Mode) Transmitter Output Power is the total transmit power of the device. The device has four transmit chains and total transmit power sums the power from all chains. This does not include antenna gain. Transmitter Output Power may be limited by regulatory rules for the country in use. Antenna Gain The total gain of the antenna in use by the device. Defines the desired received power level at the AP from the registered Subscriber Module. APs use this parameter to control the transmission power of the Subscriber Module to reduce system self-interference. Subscriber Module Target Receive Level
(Access Point Mode) Network Entry RSSI Threshold This defines the Downlink RSSI threshold below which a Subscriber Module will not register to an Access Point.
(Subscriber Module Mode) Network Entry SNR Threshold This defines the Downlink Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) threshold below which the Subscriber Module will not register to an Access Point.
(Subscriber Module Mode) Synchronization (AP mode) Co-location Mode Disabled: The ePMP device can synchronize only with other ePMP APs.
(Access Point Mode) Synchronization Source
(Access Point Mode) Enabled: The ePMP device can be configured to synchronize with PMP 100 or PMP 450 series of radios in addition to other ePMP APs. Please refer to the ePMP and PMP 100 Co-location and Migration Recommendations Guide for guidance on synchronizing ePMP and PMP 100. Verify that frame size (ms) is configured equally across the co-located installations. GPS: Synchronization timing is received via the APs connected GPS antenna. Co-
located or in-range APs receiving synchronization via GPS or CMM transmits and receive at the same time, thereby reducing self-interference. CMM5: Synchronization timing is received via the APs Ethernet port via a connected Cambium Cluster Management Module 5 (CMM5). Co-located or in-
range APs receiving synchronization via GPS or CMM will transmit and receive at the same time, thereby reducing self-interference. For more information on CMM configuration, refer to the PMP Synchronization Solutions User Guide. If a CMM is being used, verify that the cables from the CMM to the network switch are at most 30 ft (shielded) or 10 ft (unshielded) and that the network switch is not PoE (802.3af). Internal: Synchronization timing is generated by the AP and the timing is not based on GPS pulses. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 166 Attribute Description Synchronization Holdoff Time
(Access Point Mode) APs using synchronization source of Internal does not transmit and receive in sync with other co-located or in-range APs, which introduces self-interference into the system. The Synchronization Holdoff Time is designed to gracefully handle fluctuations/losses in the GPS synchronization signaling. After the AP has received a reliable synchronization pulse for at least 60 seconds, if there is a loss of synchronization signal, the Synchronization Holdoff timer is started. During the holdoff interval, all SM registrations are maintained. If a valid GPS synchronization pulse is regained during the holdoff interval, then the AP continues to operate normally. If a valid synchronization pulse is not regained from the GPS source during the holdoff interval, then the AP ceases radio transmission. The default is 30 seconds. Preferred Access Points (SM mode) Preferred Access Points list
(Subscriber Module Mode) The Preferred Access Points List is comprised of a list of up to 16 Access Point devices to which the SM device sequentially attempts registration. For each AP configured, if authentication is required, enter the Wireless Security type and WPA2 Pre-shared Key associated with the configured SSID. Scheduler (AP mode) Downlink/Uplink Ratio
(Access Point Mode) The schedule of downlink traffic to uplink traffic on the radio link. The three options, 75/25, 50/50, and 30/70, allow the radio to operate in a fixed ratio on every frame. In other words, this ratio represents the amount of the total radio links aggregate throughput that is used for downlink resources, and the amount of the total radio links aggregate throughput that is used for uplink resources. Guard interval
(Access Point Mode) Downlink Max Rate
(AP mode) The purpose of the guard interval is to introduce immunity to propagation delays, echoes, and reflections, to which digital data is normally very sensitive. Longer guard periods allow more distant echoes to be tolerated. However, longer guard intervals reduce channel efficiency. Specifies the maximum downlink MCS value that the Rate Adapt algorithm will choose for Radio 1. If an installation is exhibiting packet loss due to downlink interference, modifying Downlink Max Rate to limit the device's maximum MCS rate may result in more reliable packet delivery. This is especially true in installations among changing and unpredictable interference. Note This setting is not available when the AP is set to ePTP Master mode. Radio Configuration Maximum Tx Power
(SM mode) Auto: The AP can control, using ATPC (Automatic Transmit Power Control), the TX power of the SM up to the maximum capability of the SMs transmitter (based on regulatory limits). Manual: The AP can control the TX power of the SM up to the value configured in the Transmitter Power field. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 167 Attribute Description Transmitter Output Power
(SM mode) The total transmit power of the radio interface. The device has four transmit chains for each channel and total transmit power sums the power from all chains. This does not include antenna gain. Transmitter output power may be limited by regulatory rules for the country in use. Uplink Maximum Rate
(SM mode) Specifies the maximum uplink MCS value that the Rate Adapt algorithm chooses for Radio 1. If an installation is exhibiting packet loss due to uplink interference, modifying Uplink Max Rate to limit the device's maximum MCS rate may result in more reliable packet delivery. This is especially true in installations among changing and unpredictable interference. Note This setting is not available when the SM is set to ePTP Slave mode. Scan Channel Bandwidth
(Subscriber Module Mode) The selected scan channel bandwidths are scanned by the SM. Any combination may be selected. When bandwidth is selected, a tab for the bandwidth appears and a listing of all available channels is presented once the tab for the bandwidth is selected. Each bandwidth tab may contain a number on the left side. This number defines how many channels have been selected for that bandwidth. If no channels are selected for bandwidth, then all channels are scanned. Configuration > Quality of Service (QoS) The AP Quality of Service (QoS) page The ePMP platform supports three QoS priority levels (not available in ePTP Master mode) using air fairness, priority-based starvation avoidance scheduling algorithm. Ordering of traffic amongst the priority levels is based on a percentage of total link throughput. In other words, all priorities receive some throughput so that low priority traffic is not starved from the transmission. In effect, the greatest amount of throughput is guaranteed to the VOIP priority level, then High, then Low. Priority Level ePMP Traffic Priority Label Highest Priority VOIP (only utilized when VOIP Enable is set to Enabled) Medium Priority High Lowest Priority Low By default, all traffic passed over the air interface is a low priority. The APs Quality of Service page may be utilized to map traffic to certain priority levels using QoS classification rules. The rules included in the table are enforced starting with the first row of the table. Warning Each additional traffic classification rule increases device CPU utilization. Careful network traffic planning is required to efficiently use the device processor. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 168 The ePMP platform also supports radio data rate-limiting (Maximum Information Rate, or MIR) based on the configuration of the MIR table. Operators may add up to 16 MIR profiles on the AP, each with unique limits for uplink and downlink data rates. The SM field MIR Profile Setting is used to configure the appropriate MIR profile for limiting the SMs data rate. Figure 74: Configuration > AP Quality of Service page Table 134 AP Radio Configuration attributes Attribute Description Maximum Information Rate (MIR) MIR Disabled: When disabled, RF transmission is only limited by the capacity of the link
(and any active QoS classification rules). Enabled: When enabled, all downlink and uplink traffic is limited based on the profiles configured in the MIR table. MIR Profiles The MIR (Maximum Information Rate) table is comprised of up to sixteen profiles which, after configured, may be set on the SM to employ a certain service level or data rate. Number Assign a profile number to each row in the AP MIR table. This profile number is then set on each SM to limit data transfer rates based on the operators configuration of the MIR table and its profiles. Description Assign a logical description for each service level. For example, a tiered service-level provider may deploy service levels Gold, Silver and Bronze or 20 Mbps, 10 Mbps and 5 Mbps to offer a clear description. Downlink MIR
(kbps) Specify the downlink rate at which the AP is allowed to transmit for this configured profile. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 169 Attribute Description Uplink MIR
(kbps) Specify the uplink rate at which the AP is allowed to transmit for this configured profile. Traffic Priority Traffic Priority Disabled: No traffic prioritization is performed. All traffic is treated with equal priority
(low priority). Enabled: Traffic prioritization is enabled, and specific types of traffic can be prioritized using the fields below. VoIP Priority Enabled: When enabled, two entries are automatically added to the first and second rows of the QoS Classification Rules table, one with Rule Type CoS (5) and one with Rule Type DSCP (46). The addition of these rules ensures that VoIP traffic passed over the radio downlink is given the highest priority. The CoS and DSCP values may be modified to accommodate non-standard VoIP equipment. Disabled: When disabled, VoIP traffic is scheduled normally along with all other user data. Broadcast Priority Low Priority: All broadcast traffic sent over the downlink is prioritized as low priority and is delivered to the SM after scheduled high priority and VoIP traffic. High Priority: All broadcast traffic sent over the downlink is prioritized as a high priority and is scheduled for delivery to SMs before low priority traffic but after VoIP traffic. Multicast Priority Low Priority: All multicast traffic sent over the downlink is prioritized as low priority and will be delivered to the SM after scheduled high priority and VoIP traffic. High Priority: All multicast traffic sent over the downlink is prioritized as a high priority and is scheduled for delivery to SMs before low priority traffic but after VoIP traffic. QoS Classification Rules The QoS Classification Rules table contains all of the rules enforced by the device when passing traffic over the radio downlink. Traffic passed through the device is matched against each rule in the table; when a match is made the traffic is sent over the radio link using the priority defined in Traffic Priority column. Type CoS: Class of Service; traffic prioritization is based on the 3-bit header present in the 802.1Q VLAN-tagged Ethernet frame header in the packet entering the APs Ethernet port. VLAN ID: traffic prioritization is based on the VLAN ID of the packet entering the APs Ethernet port. EtherType: traffic prioritization is based on the two-octet Ethertype field in the Ethernet frame entering the APs Ethernet port. The Ethertype is used to identify the protocol of the data in the payload of the Ethernet frame. IP: traffic prioritization is based on the source and (or) destination IP address of the packet entering the APs Ethernet port. A subnet mask may be included to define a range of IP addresses to match. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 170 Attribute Description MAC: traffic prioritization is based on the source and (or) destination MAC address of the packet entering the APs Ethernet port. A mask may be included to define a range of MAC addresses to match. The mask is made up of a hex representation of a series of 1s to start the mask and 0s that end the mask. A 1 may not follow a 0. Thus FF:FF:FF:FF:00:00 is allowed, but FF:00:FF:FF:FF:FF is not. The MAC address is combined with the mask to define the range of allowed MAC addresses. Details Represents the details of the Class of Service (CoS) present in the packet entering the APs Ethernet port. Priority Represents the QoS classification rule priority. The SM Quality of Service page The ePMP platform supports three QoS priority levels (not available in ePTP Master mode) using air fairness, priority-based starvation avoidance scheduling algorithm. Ordering of traffic amongst the priority levels is based on a percentage of total link throughput. In other words, all priorities receive some throughput so that low priority traffic is not starved from the transmission. In effect, the greatest amount of throughput is guaranteed to the VOIP priority level, then High, then Low. Priority Level ePMP Traffic Priority Label Highest Priority VOIP (only utilized when VOIP Enable is set to Enabled) Medium Priority High Lowest Priority Low By default, all traffic passed over the air interface is a low priority. The SMs QoS page may be utilized to map traffic to certain priority levels using QoS classification rules. The rules included in the table are enforced starting with the first row of the table. Warning Each additional traffic classification rule increases device CPU utilization. Careful network traffic planning is required to efficiently use the device processor. The ePMP platform also supports radio data rate-limiting (Maximum Information Rate (MIR)) based on the configuration of the MIR table. Operators may add up to 16 MIR profiles on the AP, each with unique limits for uplink and downlink data rates. The SM field MIR Profile Setting is used to configure the appropriate MIR profile for limiting the SMs data rate. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 171 Figure 75: Configuration > SM Quality of Service page Table 135 SM QoS attributes Attribute Description Maximum Information Rate (MIR) MIR Profile Number Configure the desired MIR (Maximum Information Rate) profile for SM operation. This profile must be configured on the AP else the default profile (0) is used. Traffic Priority Enabled: The QoS Classification Rules table is editable and is utilized by the device to classify traffic. Disabled: The QoS Classification Rules table is greyed out and all traffic is sent at one priority level. VoIP Priority Enabled: When enabled, two entries are automatically added to the first and second rows of the QoS Classification Rules table, one with Rule Type CoS (5) and one with Rule Type DSCP (46). The addition of these rules ensures that VoIP traffic passed over the radio downlink is given the highest priority. The CoS and DSCP values may be modified to accommodate non-standard VoIP equipment. Broadcast Priority Low Priority: All Broadcast traffic sent over the uplink is prioritized as low priority and is delivered to the AP after scheduled high priority and VoIP traffic. High Priority: All Broadcast traffic sent over the uplink is prioritized as a high priority and is scheduled for delivery to the AP before low priority traffic but after VoIP traffic. Multicast Priority Low Priority: All Multicast traffic sent over the uplink is prioritized as low priority and is delivered to the AP after scheduled high priority and VoIP traffic. High Priority: All Multicast traffic sent over the uplink is prioritized as a high priority and is scheduled for delivery to the AP before low priority traffic but after VoIP traffic. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 172 Attribute Description Subscriber Module Priority Normal: SM gives priority to the packets as defined in the rules which can be Low, High, or VoIP. Normal priority allows data to be added to the appropriate High, Low, and VoIP queues based on the QoS rules. This is the default setting. If no rule is defined for a packet, then the packet priority is Low. High: SM places all data other than VoIP in the High queue. It is given higher priority than SMs configured with Low and Normal when there is contention for bandwidth under the AP. Low: Low priority places all data that is not VoIP in the Low priority queue. It will be given lower priority than SMs configured with High when there is contention for bandwidth under the same AP. VoIP queue is the highest priority queue followed by the High queue and then by the Low queue. Higher priority queues have preference over lower priority queues, but does not suffer them. QoS Classification Rules The QoS Classification Rules table contains all of the rules enforced by the device when passing traffic over the radio downlink. Traffic passed through the device is matched against each rule in the table; when a match is made the traffic is sent over the radio link using the priority defined in column Traffic Priority. Type DSCP: Differentiated Services Code Point; traffic prioritization is based on the 6-bit differentiated services field in the IP header present in the packet entering the Ethernet port. CoS: Class of Service; traffic prioritization is based on the 3-bit header present in the 802.1Q VLAN-tagged Ethernet frame header in the packet entering the SMs Ethernet port. VLAN ID: Traffic prioritization is based on the VLAN ID of the packet entering the SMs Ethernet port. EtherType: Traffic prioritization is based on a 2 octet Ethertype field in the Ethernet frame entering the SMs Ethernet port. The Ethertype is used to identify the protocol of the data in the payload of the Ethernet frame. IP: Traffic prioritization is based on the source and/or destination IP addresses of the packet entering the SMs Ethernet port. A subnet mask may be included to define a range of IP addresses to match. MAC: Traffic prioritization is based on the source and/or destination MAC addresses of the packet entering the SMs Ethernet port. A mask may be included to define a range of MAC addresses to match. The mask is made up of a hex representation of a series of 1s to start the mask and 0s that end the mask. A 1 may not follow a 0. Thus, FF:FF:FF:FF:00:00 is allowed, but FF:00:FF:FF:FF:FF is not. The MAC address is combined with the mask to define the range of allowed MAC addresses. Details Priority The Rule Details column is used to further configure each classification rule specified in column Rule Type. High: Traffic entering the SMs Ethernet port is prioritized as high priority for sending over the radio link (traffic will be sent after VOIP-classified traffic but before Low-
classified traffic). Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 173 Attribute Description Low: Traffic entering the SMs Ethernet port is prioritized as low priority for sending over the radio link (traffic will be sent after VOIP-classified and High-classified traffic is sent).

(SM NAT mode, Router mode) DHCP End IP
(SM NAT mode, Router mode) Ethernet interface Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network. Defines the address range of the connected IP network. For example, if Device IP Address (LAN) is configured to 192.168.2.1 and IP Subnet Mask (LAN) is configured to 255.255.255.0, the device belongs to subnet 192.168.2.X. Disabled: Use this setting when SM is in NAT or Router mode if there is an existing DHCP Server below the SM handing out IP Addresses or if all devices below the SM is configured with static IP Addresses. Enabled: Use this setting when SM is in NAT or Router mode, to use the SMs local/onboard DHCP server to hand out IP addresses to its clients. Configure the first address which is issued to a DHCP client. Upon additional DHCP requests, the DHCP Start IP is incremented until the local DHCP End IP is reached. Configure the highest IP address in the DHCP pool that can be issued to a DHCP client. Preferred DHCP DNS Server Configure the primary DNS Server IP address which is used to configure DHCP clients (if local DHCP Server is set to Enabled).

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet: Used for encapsulating PPP frames inside Ethernet frames. Optional entry to set a specific service name to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is left blank the SM accepts the first service option that comes back from the Access Concentrator specified below, if any. This is limited to 32 characters. Access Concentrator An optional entry to set a specific Access Concentrator to connect to for the PPPoE session. If this is blank, the SM accepts the first Access Concentrator which matches the service name (if specified). This is limited to 32 characters. Static Routes (Subscriber Module Router Mode) Static Routes
(SM Router mode) When Enabled, it allows the operator to create static routes that will apply to both the Wireless and Ethernet interface of the SM. This allows operators to configure a custom table of explicit paths between networks. Static routing is often used as a method to reduce the overhead of processing dynamic routes through a network when the specific path is known (or, it is simpler to define a specific path). Static routing is also used as a backup when dynamic routing protocols fail to complete a route from one network to another. In router mode, the Static Routes table is referenced by the SM to forward/filter packets to a particular destination configured by the user based on the IP addressing information contained in the table. Since static routes do not change with network changes, it is recommended to only use static routes for simple network paths that are not prone to frequent changes (requiring updates to the routes configured on the ePMP SM). It is important to consider each hop in a static routes path to ensure that the routing equipment has been configured to statically or dynamically route packets to the proper destination. Otherwise, network communication fails. Network Address Translation (NAT) is not performed when the SM is in Router mode. Target Network IP
(SM Router mode) Configure the target subnet/networks IP address to which the SM should route the packets. Subnet Mask Configure the subnet mask for the Target Network IP address.
(SM Router mode) Gateway

DHCP: Management IP addressing (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server) is assigned via a network DHCP server. Configure the IP address that is used to access the SMs management interface when in NAT mode. The Wireless IP (public IP) does not allow management access. Defines the address range of the connected IP network. For example, if the IP Address is configured to 192.168.2.1 and Subnet Mask is configured to 255.255.255.0, the device wireless interface belongs to the subnet 192.168.2.X. Configure 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. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 185 Attribute Description Separate Management VLAN

Configure this parameter to include this VLAN tag to all untagged traffic entering on the Subscriber Module device LAN port before sending it to the Access Point device and remove tags in the opposite direction from traffic (tagged with Data VLAN ID) entering on the Subscriber Module device WAN port before sending to the SM device LAN port. ePMP devices can prioritize VLAN traffic based on the eight priorities described in the IEEE 802.1p specification. Data VLAN Priority represents the VLAN Priority or Class of Service (CoS). Operators may use this prioritization field to give precedence to device user data. This parameter only takes effect if the Data VLAN parameter is enabled. Configure this parameter to set the value of the Priority code point field in the 802.1q tag for traffic on the Data VLAN originating from the SM device. The default value is 0. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 187 Attribute Description Membership VLAN
(SM Bridge mode) Configure the Membership VLAN Table to include the SM in one or more VLANs. When the SM receives a packet tagged from either the Ethernet (LAN) or Wireless
(WAN) side with a VLAN ID which is contained in the Membership VLAN Table, the packet is forwarded and sent out to the other interface. When the SM receives a packet tagged with a VLAN ID that is not present in the Membership VLAN Table, the frame is dropped (assuming there is at least one VLAN ID present in the Membership VLAN table or configured as a Data VLAN). VLAN Mapping
(SM Bridge mode) Configure the VLAN Mapping Table to map the C-VLAN of traffic ingressing the Ethernet (LAN) port of the SM to an S-VLAN before being forwarded to the air interface on the UL. In the DL direction, the SM will automatically un-map the S-
VLAN to the C-VLAN before forwarding the tagged packets to the Ethernet (LAN) interface of the SM. C-VLAN

(SM mode) Port Setting Specify the device MTU or Maximum Transmission Unit; the size in bytes of the largest data unit that the device is configured to process. Larger MTU configurations can enable the network to operate with greater efficiency, but in the case of retransmissions due to packet errors, efficiency is reduced since large packets must be resent in the event of an error. Disabled: The primary Ethernet port is disabled (a mechanism for restricting access for non-payment). Enabled: The primary Ethernet port is enabled. Allows the Gigabit Ethernet port duplex settings and port speed to be either manually configured or auto-negotiate with the connected Ethernet device on the other end of the link. Guidelines for using Port Setting:
If auto-negotiation is turned on, this applies to both Port Speed and Port Duplex Mode. If the other end of the Ethernet connection supports auto-negotiation, then select Auto-Negotiate. If the other end of the Ethernet connection does not support auto-
negotiation, then select Manual and both ends of the link should manually set the port speed and port duplex mode. Port Speed With Port Setting configured to Manual, the Gigabit Ethernet port speed can be forced to 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 188 Attribute Description Port Duplex mode With Port Setting configured to Manual, the Gigabit Ethernet port duplex mode can be forced to Full or Half. Port Forwarding (Subscriber Module Mode) (NAT Mode) UPnP IGD
(SM mode)
(NAT mode) Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols that permits networked devices, such as personal computers, printers, Internet gateways, Wi-Fi APs, and mobile devices to seamlessly discover each other's presence on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, and entertainment. UPnP is intended primarily for residential networks without enterprise-class devices. With UPnP IGD and PCP protocols, ePMP will support explicit dynamic port mappings. Enable UPnP IGD (Internet Gateway Device) to allow the ePMP device to use the IGD profile for UPnP support. NAT PMP (PCP)
(SM mode)
(NAT mode) The PCP (Port Control Protocol) allows an IPv6 or IPv4 host to control how incoming IPv6 or IPv4 packets are translated and forwarded by a Network Address Translator (NAT) or simple firewall, and also allows a host to optimize its outgoing NAT keepalive messages. PCP was standardized as a successor to the NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP), with which it shares similar protocol concepts and packet formats. Enable this parameter to allow the ePMP device to use the PCP protocol for UPnP support. The Data Port Forwarding Table is used to define which range of wireless ports are forwarded to a LAN (SM local network) IP address below the SM. Data Port Forwarding
(SM mode)

CHAP: This means that CHAP authentication is attempted. PAP: This means that PAP authentication is attempted. Username This is the CHAP/PAP username that is used. This is limited to 32 characters.
(SM mode)
(NAT mode, Router mode) Password This is the CHAP/PAP password that is used. This is limited to 32 characters.
(SM mode)
(NAT mode, Router mode) MTU Size
(SM mode)
(NAT mode, Router mode) Maximum Transmission Unit; the size in bytes of the largest data unit that the device is configured to process inside the PPPoE tunnel. This field allows the operator to specify the largest MTU value to use in the PPPoE session if PPPoE MSS Clamping is Enabled. 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 uses the smaller value as its MTU for the PPPoE link. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 190 Attribute Description Keep Alive Time
(SM mode)
(NAT Mode, Router Mode) MSS Clamping
(SM mode)
(NAT mode, Router mode) Configure the Keep Alive Time to allow the radio to keep the PPPoE session up after establishment. As an example, if this field is set to 5, the PPPoE client sends a keep-alive message to the PPPoE server every 5 seconds. If there is no acknowledgment, it sends the Keep alive message to the server 4 more times (for a total of 5 times) before tearing down the PPPoE session. Setting this to 12 will mean the keep-alive message is sent every 12 seconds and when there is no acknowledgment, the client will try for a total of 12 times every 12 seconds before tearing down the PPPoE session. Disabled: The SM PPPoE session allows any MTU size determined by other devices in the PPPoE session during the LCP negotiations. Enabled: The SM PPPoE session enforces a max MTU size determined by the PPPoE MTU Size setting for all devices in the PPPoE session during the LCP negotiations unless one of the devices enforces an MTU setting that is smaller in value. SFP Port (Access Point Mode) SFP Port Disabled: The SFP port is inactive.

(SM mode) Enabled: When enabled, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1d) functionality is enabled at the Access Point, allowing for the prevention of Ethernet bridge loops. Disabled: This blocks DHCP servers connected to the SM device LAN side from handing out IP addresses to DHCP clients above the SM device (wireless side). Enabled: This allows DHCP servers connected to the SM device LAN side to assign IP addresses to DHCP clients above the SM device (wireless side). This configuration is typical in PTP links. Management Access (AP mode) Ethernet: Only allow access to the APs web management interface via a local Ethernet (LAN) connection. In this configuration, the APs web management interface may not be accessed from over the air (from a device situated below the SM). Ethernet and Wireless: Allow access to the APs web management interface via a local Ethernet (LAN) connection and from over the air (from a device situated below the SM). APs configured with Management Access Interface set to Ethernet and Ethernet and Wireless are susceptible to unauthorized access. SM Traffic Isolation Disabled: This is the default mode. When SM isolation is disabled, an SM can communicate with another SM, when both the SMs are associated with the same Access Point (AP). Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 191 Attribute Description
(AP mode) Enabled: When the SM Isolation feature is Enabled, an SM is unable to communicate with another SM (peer-to-peer traffic) when both the SMs are associated with the same AP. This feature essentially enables the AP to drop the packets to avoid peer-to-peer traffic scenarios. DHCP Option 82
(AP mode) Disabled: The device does not insert the remote-id (option ID 0x2) and the circuit-
id (ID 0x01). DHCP Option 82 is Disabled by default. Enabled: The device inserts remote-id (option ID 02) to be the SM MAC address and the circuit-id (ID 001) to be the APs MAC address. Those two fields are used to identify the remote device and connection from which the DHCP request was received. LLDP The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol
(as specified in IEEE 802.1AB) used by ePMP for advertising its identity, capabilities, and neighbors on the Ethernet/wired interface. Disabled: ePMP does not receive or transmit LLDP packets from/to its neighbors. Enabled: ePMP can receive LLDP packets from its neighbors and send LLDP packets to its neighbors, depending on the LLDP Mode configuration below. LLDP Mode Receive and Transmit: ePMP sends and receives LLDP packets to/from its neighbors on the Ethernet/LAN interface. Receive Only: ePMP receives LLDP packets from its neighbors on the Ethernet/LAN interface and discovers them. PPPoE Intermediate Agent When enabled, during the PPPoE Discovery phase the AP inserts access loop identification into the PPPoE PADR packets. This mechanism helps the service provider to distinguish between end hosts connected via Ethernet as an access device (typically, home routers situated below an ePMP subscriber device). On the AP, PPPoE Intermediate Agent enables subscriber line identification by tagging Ethernet frames of corresponding users with Vendor-Specific PPPoE Tags Circuit ID (defining AP name, frame, slot, port, and VLAN ID information) and Remote ID (defining user phone number). Broadcast / Multicast Traffic Shaping (SM mode) (Bridge mode) Broadcast Packet Limit
(SM mode)
(Bridge mode) Broadcast Packet Rate
(SM mode)
(Bridge mode) Enabled: This allows the user to set the Broadcast Packet Rate below. Configure this parameter to limit the number of broadcast packets that will be allowed on the ingress of the radios Ethernet port. Set the packets per second value to limit the impact of events such as broadcast storms. Disabled: There is no limit on the amount of broadcast traffic allowed into the ingress of the radios Ethernet port. Set the packets per second value to limit the amount of broadcast traffic allowed on the ingress on the radios Ethernet port. The packets per second limit can be set individually on each ePMP radio. The range is 100 to 16000 packets per second. The default is 1000. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 192 Attribute Description Reliable Multicast Enabled: This feature allows ePMP to support IGMP capable devices. Once a multicast group is identified, the AP allows multicast traffic to be sent only to the SMs within the multicast group. The SMs support up to 5 unique multicast groups. Also, when this option is enabled, the multicast traffic is sent to the SMs using the current Downlink MCS rate. Disabled: ePMP still supports IGMP capable devices but the multicast traffic is sent using MCS 1 on the downlink to all SMs, regardless of the multicast group. Multicast Group Limit Configure the maximum number of simultaneous multicast groups that the SM will allow from devices below it. The default is 3.
(SM mode)
(Bridge mode) Multicast VLAN
(SM mode)
(Bridge mode) Multicast VLAN ID
(SM mode)
(Bridge mode) Multicast VLAN Priority
(SM mode)
(Bridge mode) Enabled: A VLAN tag is added to all untagged multicast traffic entering the SMs LAN port before sending it to the AP and remove tags in the opposite direction from traffic (tagged with Multicast VLAN ID) entering on the SMs WAN port before sending to the SMs LAN port. Disabled: When disabled, no changes are made to untagged multicast traffic passing through the SM. Configure this parameter to include this VLAN tag to all untagged multicast traffic entering on the SMs LAN port before sending it to the AP and remove tags in the opposite direction from multicast traffic (tagged with Multicast VLAN ID) entering on the SMs WAN port before sending to the SMs LAN port. ePMP radios can prioritize VLAN traffic based on the eight priorities described in the IEEE 802.1p specification. Multicast VLAN Priority represents the VLAN Priority or Class of Service (CoS). Operators may use this prioritization field to give precedence to the device's multicast data. This parameter only takes effect if the Multicast VLAN parameter is enabled. Configure this parameter to set the value of the Priority code point field in the 802.1q tag for traffic on the Multicast VLAN originating from the SM. The default value is 0. De-Militarized Zone (Subscriber Module NAT Mode) DMZ
(SM NAT mode) Disabled: Packets arriving on the wireless interface destined for the Ethernet side of the network are dropped if a session does not exist between the Source IP
(Wireless) and Destination IP (Ethernet). By default, NAT requires the sessions to be initiated from the Ethernet side before a packet is accepted from the Wireless to the Wired side. Enabled: Any packets with an unknown destination port (not associated with an existing session or not defined in the port forwarding rules) are automatically sent to the device configured with DMZ IP Address. IP Address
(SM NAT mode) Configure the IP address of an SM-connected device that is allowed to provide network services to the wide-area network. Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 193 Attribute Description Allow ICMP to DMZ
(SM NAT mode) Enabled: ICMP packets are forwarded to the DMZ IP Disabled: SM answers ICMP requests, and SM Wireless IP Address becomes reachable by ping when DMZ enabled Configuration > Security page The Security page is used to configure system security features including authentication and Layer2/Layer3 Firewall rules. Attention If a device firewall rule is added with Action set to Deny and Interface set to LAN or WAN and no other rule attribute is configured, the device drops all Ethernet or wireless traffic, respectively. Ensure that all firewall rules are specific to the type of traffic which must be denied and that no rules exist in the devices with the only Action set to Deny and Interface set to LAN or WAN. To regain access to the device, perform a factory default.

Chapter 4: Using the Device Management Interface 221 Figure 95: Figure 61 Tools > eAlign page Note A valid link to an SM is required to provide meaningful RSSI measurements. Attention ePMP supports Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) where the Subscriber Module devices are instructed by the Access Point to adjust their Tx power for the Subscriber Module device signal (UL RSSI) to arrive at the Access Point at a predetermined RSSI level (configurable on the Access Point under Configuration
> Radio > Power Control > Subscriber Module Target Receive Level). This feature is beneficial to keep the overall noise floor in the sector to an acceptable level. However, the feature negates the purpose of eAlign measurements on the Access Point device since, during the alignment, the Subscriber Module may constantly change its Tx power. It is recommended to turn off ATPC and set the Subscriber Module Tx power to maximum allowable power during alignment. While aligning the link using eAlign, please follow these steps:
Procedure 1. On the Subscriber Module, set Configuration > Radio > Power Control >

General Planning for troubleshooting Upgrading device software Testing hardware Troubleshooting the radio link Resetting ePMP to factory defaults by power cycling General Planning for troubleshooting Effective troubleshooting depends in part on measures taken before experiencing the trouble in the network. Cambium Networks recommends the following measures for each site:
Procedure 1. Identify troubleshooting tools that are available at your site (such as a protocol analyzer). 2. Identify commands and other sources that can capture baseline data for the site. These may include:
Ping tracert or traceroute Throughput Test results Throughput data Configure GUI page captures Monitor GUI page captures Session logs 3. Start a log for the site, including:
4. Operating procedures Site-specific configuration records Network topology Software releases Types of hardware deployed Site-specific troubleshooting process Chapter 5: Operation and Troubleshooting 228 Escalation procedures GPS latitude/longitude of each network element Upgrading device software To take an advantage of new features and software improvements for the ePMP system, visit Cambium Networks ePMP Software website: https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/epmp To upgrade the device software, perform the following steps:
1. Login to the device UI via the management IP. 2. Navigate to page Tools, Software Upgrade. 3. Under the Main Software section, set the Upgrade Option to URL to pull the software file from a network software server or select Local File to upload a file from the accessing device. If URL is selected, enter the server IP address, Server Port, and File path. 4. If Local File is selected, click Browse to launch the file selection dialogue. Click Upgrade 5. Do not power off the unit in the middle of an upgrade process. 6. Once the software upgrade is complete, click the Reset icon. Testing hardware This section describes the procedure to test the hardware when it fails while starting or during operation. Before start testing the hardware, verify that all the outdoor cables which connects the device to equipment inside the building, are of the supported type, as defined in Ethernet cabling. Checking the power supply LED When the power supply is connected to the main power supply, the expected LED behavior is:
The power LED illuminates continuously in Green color. If the expected LED operation does not occur, or if a fault is suspected in the hardware, check the LED states and choose the correct test procedure. Power LED is off Ethernet LED is off Power LED is OFF Meaning: Either the power supply is not receiving power from the AC/DC outlet, or there is a wiring fault in the unit. Action: Remove the device cable from the PSU and observe the effect on the power LED. If the power LED does not illuminate, confirm that the main power supply is working, for example, check the plug. If the power supply is working, report a suspected power supply fault to Cambium Networks. Chapter 5: Operation and Troubleshooting 229 Ethernet LED is OFF Meaning: There is no Ethernet traffic between the device and the power supply. Action: The fault may be in the LAN or device cable:
Remove the LAN cable from the power supply, examine it, and confirm it is not faulty. If the PC connection is working, remove the AP/SM cable from the power supply, examine it, and check that the wiring to pins 1, 2 and 3, 6 are correct and not crossed. Test Ethernet packet errors reported by the device Login to the device and click Monitor, Performance. Click Reset System Counters at the bottom of the page and wait until LAN RX Total Packet Counter has reached 1 million. If the counter does not increment or increments too slowly, because for example the ePMP system is newly installed and there is no offered Ethernet traffic, then license this procedure and consider using the Test ping packet loss procedure. Check the LAN RX Error Packet Counter statistic. The test has passed if this is less than 10. Test Ethernet packet errors reported by managed switch or router If the device is connected to a managed Ethernet switch or router, it may be possible to monitor the error rate of Ethernet packets. Refer to the User Guide of the managed network equipment. The test has passed if the rate of packet errors reported by the managed Ethernet switch or router is less than 10 in one million packets. Test ping packet loss Using a computer, it is possible to generate and monitor packets lost between the power supply and the AP/SM. This can be achieved by executing the Command Prompt application which is supplied as standard with Windows and Mac operating systems. Attention This procedure disrupts network traffic carried by the device under test. Procedure 1. Ensure that the IP address of the computer is configured appropriately for connection to the device under test, and does not conflict with other devices connected to the network. 2. 3. If the power supply is connected to an Ethernet switch or router then connect the computer to a spare port, if available. If it is not possible to connect the computer to a spare port of an Ethernet switch or router, then the power supply must be disconnected from the network in order to execute this test:
Disconnect the power supply from the network. Connect the computer directly to the LAN port of the power supply. 4. On the computer, open the Command Prompt application. Chapter 5: Operation and Troubleshooting 230 5. Send 1000 ping packets of length 1500 bytes. The process takes 1000 seconds, which is approximately 17 minutes. If the computer is running a Windows operating system, this is achieved by typing (for an IPv6 address, use the ping6 command):
ping n 1000 l 1500 <ipaddress>
where <ipaddress> is the IP address of the AP or SM under test. If the computer is running a MAC operating system, this is achieved by typing:
ping c 1000 s 1492 <ipaddress>
where <ipaddress> is the IP address of the AP/SM under test. 6. Record how many ping packets are lost. This is reported by Command Prompt on completion of the test. The test has passed if the number of lost packets is less than 2. Troubleshooting the radio link This section describes the process of testing the link when there is no radio communication, when it is unreliable, or when the data throughput rate is too low. It may be necessary to test both ends of the link. The module has lost or does not establish radio connectivity If there is no wireless activity, then perform the following steps:
1. Check that the devices are configured with the same Frequency Carrier. 2. Check that the Channel Bandwidth is configured the same at both ends of the link. 3. On the AP, verify that the Max Range setting is configured to a distance slightly greater than the distance between the Access Point and the other end of the link. 4. Check that the Access Point Synchronization Source is configured properly based on the network configuration. 5. Verify the authentication settings on the devices. if Authentication Type is set to WPA2, verify that the Pre-shared Key matches between the AP and the SM Preferred Access Points List. 6. Check that the software at each end of the link is the same version. 7. Check that the desired AP SSID is configured in the SM Preferred Access Points List. 8. On the SM, check the DL RSSI and DL CINR values. Verify that for the SM installed distance, that the values are consistent with the values reported by the LINKPlanner tool. 9. Check Tx Power on the devices. 10. Check that the link is not obstructed or misaligned. 11. Check the DFS status page (Monitor, System Status) at each end of the link and establish that there is a quiet wireless channel to use. Chapter 5: Operation and Troubleshooting 231 12. If there are no faults found in the configuration and there is absolutely no wireless signal, retry the installation procedure. 13. If this does not work then report a suspected device fault to Cambium Networks. Module exhibiting frequent boots or disconnects For any Force 300-16 units exhibiting frequent disconnects or reboots, the 4.4 official release must be applied twice to ensure both banks are updated. Once completed, ensure both banks are running 4.4 under Monitor > System. In general, this practice can be followed for all 802.11ac models as they support two banks for software storage. Link is unreliable or does not achieve the data rates required If there is some activity but the link is unreliable or does not achieve the data rates required, then perform the following steps:
1. Check that the interference has not increased by monitoring the uplink and downlink CINR values reported in the Access Point page Monitor > Wireless Status. 2. Check that the RSSI values reported at the device are proper based on the distance of the link the LINKPlanner tool is designed to estimate these values. 3. Check that the path loss is low enough for the communication rates required. 4. Check that the device has not become misaligned. 5. Review the Quality of Service configuration and ensure that traffic is properly classified and prioritized. Resetting ePMP to factory defaults by power cycling Operators may reset an ePMP radio to the default factory configuration by a sequence of power cycling
(removing and re-applying power to the device). This procedure allows operators to perform a factory default reset without a tower climb or additional tools. The procedure is depicted in . 1. Remove the Ethernet cable from the PoE jack of the power supply for at least 10 seconds. 2. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for 3-5 secondsand disconnect the cable to power off the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds. (1st power cycle). 3. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for 3-5 secondsand disconnect the cable to power off the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds. (2nd power cycle). 4. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for 3-5 secondsand disconnect the cable to power off the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds. (3rd power cycle). 5. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for 3-5 secondsand disconnect the cable to power off the ePMP device for 3-5 seconds. (4th power cycle). 6. Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ePMP device for at least 30 seconds and allow it to go through the boot-up procedure (Note: Device will go through an additional reset automatically). This will reset the current configuration files to factory default configuration (such as IP addresses, Device mode, RF configuration). The device can be pinged from a PC to check if Chapter 5: Operation and Troubleshooting 232 boot-up is complete (Successful ping replies indicate boot-up is complete). 7. Access the ePMP device using the default IP address of 192.168.0.1 (AP) or 192.168.0.2 (SM). Figure 100: Power cycle timings Where:
