    MHz. Link operation – Dynamic Rate Adapt PTP 450 Series products offer five levels or speeds of operation – 1x (QPSK), 2x (QPSK-MIMO-B), 4x (16QAM- MIMO-B), 6x (64QAM-MIMO-B), and 8x (256QAM-MIMO-B). If received power is less due to distance between the BHM and the BHS or due to obstructions, or if interference affects the RF environment, the system will automatically and dynamically adjust links to the best operation level.

    IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet/wired side of the BHS. In the Cambium system, NAT supports many protocols, including HTTP, ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocols), and FTP (File Transfer Protocol). For virtual private network (VPN) implementation, L2TP over IPSec (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol over IP Security) and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) are supported.

Regulatory Note: A PTP 450 Series BHM with a Country Code set to United States will not be configurable to another Country Code by installers or end users. This is in response to FCC KDB 594280 and ensures that end users and professional installers will not have access to settings which could allow a radio to be configured to operate in a manner other than that which was specified in the FCC equipment authorization grant.
