PTP 820F is a compact unit that fits in a single rack unit, with a passive cooling system that eliminates the need for fans. A PTP 820F system consists of a PTP 820F indoor unit (IDU) and up to three radio frequency units (RFUs). The IDU is connected to each RFU by a standard Cat-5e or preferably Cat-6/6e cable, with RF-45 connectors on the RFU and electrical or optical fiber via SFP on the IDU.
Figure 2 GbE Combo Interface Numbering Note When using electrical ports GbE 1 through GbE 4 to connect between the PTP 820F IDU and an outdoor unit such as PTP 820C or PTP 820S, in areas in which severe lightning conditions are likely to occur, it is required to use lightning protection.
PTP 820G Ethernet split cable for Management E1/DS1 Interface PTP 820F includes an MDR69 connector in which 16 E1 interfaces are available (ports 1 through 16). STM-1/OC-3 Interfaces The PTP 820F includes two ch-STM-1/OC-3 ports, which can be used as a 1+1 STM-1/OC-3 protection configuration.
SM-card aluminum cover. In the event of IDU replacement, re-using the existing SM card cover is necessary to ensure that the unit’s software and configuration is maintained. An SM card is pre-installed inside each PTP 820F unit. It can also be ordered as a separate item (e.g., as a spare unit).
Chapter 3 Preparing for Installation This section provides instructions for transporting, inspecting, and unpacking the equipment for an PTP 820F system prior to installation. Transportation/Storage The equipment cases are prepared for shipment by air, truck, railway and sea, suitable for handling by forklift trucks and slings.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Cambium Networks could void the user's authority to operate the equipment Where special cables, shields, adapters and grounding kits are supplied or described in this manual, these items must be used, to comply with the relevant regulations.
Installing the PTP 820F IDU in the Rack (19") Insert and hold the PTP 820F IDU in the rack, as shown in the following figures. Use four screws (not supplied with the installation kit) to fasten the IDU to the rack.
If you are installing multiple PTP 820F units in a single rack, make sure to leave a space of 1RU after every two PTP 820F units, as shown in the figure below. This restriction also applies to PTP 820F units installed in proximity with third party units.
Replacing an PTP 820F IDU or SM-Card If you should need to replace the PTP 820F IDU, you must first remove the SM-Card Cover so that you can insert it into the new IDU. The SM-Card holds the configuration and software for the IDU. The SM-Card is embedded in the SM- Card plastic cover that is located under the SM-card aluminum cover.

In the new IDU or, if you are upgrading the SM-Card, the old IDU, make sure that there is no foreign matter blocking the sockets in the opening where the SM-Card is installed. Gently place the SM-Card in its place and tighten the 2 screws. Place the SM-Card’s aluminum cover in its place and tighten the 2 screws.
Chapter 5 Connecting the Power Cable Note Before connecting the power supply to the PTP 820F unit, you must verify that the positive pole in the external power supply is grounded! Power supply grounding should be in according with the following figure.
Insert the wires into the connector. Secure the wires in the connector with the screws. Plug the connector into the PTP 820F power interface and tighten the two screws on the sides of the connector to secure the connector. Figure 9 Connecting the Power Cable...
Chapter 6 Power Supply Notes When selecting a power source, the following must be considered: • Voltage range: -40 VDC to -60 VDC. • Recommended: Availability of a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Source), battery backup, and emergency power generator. • The power source must be grounded. •...
Chapter 7 IDU-RFU Cable Connection RFU-D, RFU-D-HP and RFU-S can be connected to the PTP 820F IDU via a standard CAT-5e or preferably CAT-6/6a cable, with RJ-45 connectors on the RFU and an RJ-45 connector on the IDU. They can also be connected to the IDU over optical fiber cables via the optical (SFP) RFU interface on the IDU.
User Guide for PTP 820F, PTP 820G. Establishing a Connection You can connect to the PTP 820F unit using a TP cable with a LAN connection or using a Serial RS- 232 cable. Connecting to the Unit with a Serial Connection Connect an RS-232 cable with an RJ-45 interface from your laptop or PC to the Terminal Interface on the PTP 820F front panel.
To establish a connection between the PC and the PTP 820F unit, it is necessary to have an IP address on the PC within the same subnet as the unit. The default IP address of the PTP 820F unit is 192.168.1.1.
Changing Your Password It is recommended to change your default Admin password as soon as you have logged into the system. To change your password: Select Platform > Security > Access Control > Change Password. The Change User Password page opens. Figure 13: Change User Password Page In the Old password field, enter the current password.
In addition to setting the IP addresses, the following configuration steps should be performed to establish basic connectivity. For a detailed description of these procedures, refer to the User Guide for PTP 820F, and PTP 820G. • Enable the Radio Interfaces •...
