Page 64: Ethernet Bridging
Customer network Transparent Ethernet service The PTP 800 Series provides an Ethernet service between the data port at a local CMU and the data port at an associated remote CMU. The Ethernet service is based on conventional layer two transparent bridging, and is equivalent to the Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).
Page 65: Management Network
Ethernet bridging Quality of Service for bridged Ethernet traffic The PTP 800 Series supports eight traffic queues for Ethernet frames waiting for transmission over the wireless link. Ethernet frames are classified by inspection of the Ethernet destination address, the Ethernet priority code point in the outermost VLAN tag, the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) in an IPv4 or IPv6 header, or the Traffic Class in an MPLS header.
Page 66 Ethernet bridging Chapter 1: Product description Out-of-band management PTP 800 supports an end-to-end out-of-band management mode in which the management agent can be reached from the management port at the local CMU, and (assuming that the wireless link is established) the management port at the remote CMU. This management mode allows communication from the CMU management port to Ethernet end stations reached through the remote CMU, supporting construction of an extended management network that is isolated from the customer network.
Page 67: Protocol Model
Wireless link down alert The PTP 800 Series can be configured to alert a loss of link to the connected network equipment. It does this by means of a brief disconnection of the copper data port or fiber data port. When the PTP 800 Series is configured for out-of-band operation, it also briefly disconnects the management port.
Page 68 Ethernet bridging Chapter 1: Product description Frames are transmitted at the Wireless port over a proprietary point-to-point circuit-mode link layer between ends of the PTP 800 link. For a single CMU configuration or the active CMU in a 1+1 HSB configuration, Ethernet frames received at the data or management ports, or generated internally within the management agent, are encapsulated within a lightweight MAC layer for transmission over the wireless link.

Page 89: 1+1 Hsb Link Antenna Options
PTP 800 Series User Guide 1+1 Hot Standby link protection Primary and secondary units At each end of the link, one CMU must be configured as a Primary unit, the other as a Secondary unit. The decision of whether the Primary or Secondary CMU becomes active is automatically controlled by the CMU application software.
Page 90: Bridging In 1+1 Links
1+1 Hot Standby link protection Chapter 1: Product description Bridging in 1+1 links Only the active CMU forwards customer data from the wireless interface to the Ethernet switch. Also, when Out of Band Management is enabled, only the active CMU forwards management data received from the wireless interface to the Ethernet Switch.
Page 91 PTP 800 Series User Guide 1+1 Hot Standby link protection Receive Diversity Ethernet frames An important aspect of Receive Diversity is how the data received at the wireless interface of the Inactive CMU arrives at the Active CMU. This is achieved by the Inactive CMU encapsulating the received wireless data into Ethernet frames and sending the frames out on the Data port at a constant rate.
Page 92: Further Reading On 1+1 Hsb
1+1 Hot Standby link protection Chapter 1: Product description • The Fiber-Y configuration is useful in a network which requires a single Ethernet interface for customer traffic. In order to support Receiver Diversity in Fiber-Y configurations, the CMU copper data ports must also be connected to the same Ethernet Switch as the Fiber-Y interface. This is because the Fiber port of the Inactive CMU is necessarily disabled in Fiber-Y configurations.
