regulatory requirements drive the settings for the following parameters, as discussed in this

section:

Region Code

•

Primary Frequency

•

Alternate 1 and Alternate 2 Frequencies

•

External Antenna Gain

•

On the AP, the "Home => DFS Status" page shows current DFS status of all three frequencies

and a DFS log of past DFS events. Note, unlike standard Canopy, the PMP 400 and PTP 200

Series AP, SM, and BH do not offer "Whitening", as the OFDM technology obviates the need for

it.

4.4.1

Background and Operation

The modules use region-specific DFS based on the "Region Code" selected on the module's

"Configuration => General" page. By directing installers and technicians to set the Region Code

correctly, the operator gains confidence the module is operating according to national or regional

regulations, without having to deal with the details for each region.

Available "Region Codes" include Other, United States, Canada, Europe, Brazil, Russia, and

Australia. Operators in regions or countries not listed and with requirements aligned with one of

the listed countries should set the Region Code to that country. Operators in regions or countries

with no requirements for DFS should use the "Other" Region Code.

New APs and BHMs from the factory will show a Region Code of "None", and will not transmit

until the Region Code is set to a value other than "None".

Canada and, for new equipment, Europe, have requirements to avoid certain frequencies used by

some weather radar. To meet this requirement, modules set to a Region Code of Canada or

Europe will display the center channel frequencies shown in Table 3 on page 13 on the AP's and

BHM's Carrier Frequency pop-up and on the SM's and BHS's Frequency Scan Selection List.

Table 6 shows the details of DFS operation and channels available for each Region Code,

including whether DFS is active on the AP/BHM, SM/BHS, which DFS regulation apply, and any

channel restrictions..
