    8.3.1 System Configuration Page The configuration page (Figure 29) is used by the system administrator to configure the PTP 400 Series Bridge. While the majority of the system configuration is entered during installation and should never require changing, this page offers the system administrator the ability to change the basic system parameters for link, modulation and physical components.
  • Page 78 Link Mode Optimization: By default, Link Mode Optimization of a point-to-point link is set to ‘IP Traffic’. In this configuration the wireless minimizes packet transmission errors by automatically adapting the active modulation mode based on instantaneous vector error measurements and the presence of codeword errors. This mode of operation is recommended for connection oriented IP traffic protocols where packet loss is perceived by the protocols as an indication of network congestion.

    Because the compression techniques used in the PTP 400 Series Bridge are CPU intensive, compression is only applied to modulation modes BPSK 1/2, QPSK 1/2 and QPSK 2/3. The net effect of compression is solely dependant on the individual packet compressibility (entropy).

    8.3.8.1 Wireless Channels The PTP 400 Series Bridge operates using a set of predefined channels. Section 5 ” General Considerations” contains detailed information on this subject with regards each product variant. It should be noted that some product variants have a channel raster smaller than their channel size.
  • Page 115 The analysis produces four key metrics for each channel: • Peak of Peaks • Peak of Means • 99.9% Percentile of the Means • Mean of Means Peak of Peaks: is the largest peak interference measurement encountered during the quantization period. This metric is useful for detecting large short duration spikes in the interference environment.

    8.3.8.4 The Spectrum Management Master / Slave Relationship By default Spectrum Management operates in a master / slave relationship. The master is assumed to be the link master configured during installation. All Spectrum Management configuration changes MUST be performed from the master. To enforce this, the Spectrum Management web page has a different appearance depending if you are viewing the data from the master or slave.

    Why has Motorola launched the PTP 400 Series Bridge? The PTP 400 Series Bridge is the first product in this band to feature Multiple-Input Multiple- Output (MIMO). The PTP 400 Series solutions allow wireless connections of up to 200km (124 miles) in near line-of-sight conditions and up to 10km (6 miles) in deep non-line-of-sight conditions.
  • Page 189 What else is special about the PTP 400 Series Bridge? There are many special features built-in to the hardware of the PTP 400 Series Bridge. The product offers the highest system gain in its class through high sensitivity antennas for improved signal recovery.
  • Page 190 How does the PTP 400 Series Bridge provide security for data traffic? The PTP 400 Series Bridge has a range of security features. At installation time each link must be programmed with the serial ID of its partner. The two ends of the link will only communicate with one another, eliminating any chance of "man in the middle"...
  • Page 191 How will my investment be protected as new features are developed? Future enhancements can be downloaded to the unit, meaning advances in technology or changes in regulations can quickly be applied to the system without any further hardware investment. Why can’t I change the channel raster centre frequencies on a PTP 49400? The PTP 49400 provides full band coverage without moving the channel raster.
