Cambium recommends setting and using these parameters following industry recognized security practices.
PTP 450 Configuration and User Warnings, cautions and notes The following describes how warnings and cautions are used in this document and in all documents of the Cambium Networks document set. Warnings Warnings precede instructions that contain potentially hazardous situations. Warnings are used to alert the reader to possible hazards that could cause loss of life or physical injury.
Chapter 1: Product Description This chapter provides a high level description of the PTP 450 product. It describes in general terms the function of the product, the main product variants and typical deployment. It also describes the main hardware components.
Cambium PTP 450 Series networks are designed for wireless point-to-point links in the licensed 3.6 GHz, 3.6 GHz, lightly licensed 3.65 GHz, 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands. Users must ensure that their configuration and usage of PTP 450 Series complies with local operating regulations.
After ordering a BH unit, the customer can decide, via software configuration, if this unit is a BHM (Backhaul Master) or a BHS (Backhaul Slave). The radio link operates on a single frequency channel using Time Division Duplex (TDD). Applications for the PTP 450 Series include: Enterprise Access ...
PTP 450 Configuration and User Guide Overview of PTP 450 Product variants The PTP 450 Series is available in the following product variants: BH unit can be configured as a BHM or a BHS. Table 1 PTP 450 frequency variants...
PTP 450 Backhaul Radio PTP 450 Configuration and User PTP 450 Backhaul Radio The PTP 450 link requires two Backhaul Radios in following configurations: Backhaul Master (BHM) Backhaul Slave (BHS) These radios are a self-contained unit that houses both radio and networking electronics. It is supplied in a connectorized or radiated configuration.
PTP 450 Configuration and User Guide PTP 450 Backhaul Radio 3.5 GHz and 3.6 GHz PTP 450 BH units have a different appearance from the existing 5 GHz PTP 450 BHSs. 3.5 GHz and 3.6 GHz units are compatible only with reflector dish and not the LENS.
PTP 450 Configuration and User Guide PTP 450 Backhaul Radio BHM/BHS diagnostic LEDs The diagnostic LEDs are as shown in Figure Figure 6 Radio diagnostic LEDs, viewed from unit front BHM LED Display LED Labels LNK/5 ACT/4 GPS/3 SES/2 SYN/1 The LED color helps distinguish the position of LED.
PTP 450 Backhaul Radio PTP 450 Configuration and User BHS LEDs The BHS LEDs provide different status of radio based on the operating modes. A BHS in “operating” mode registers and passes the traffic normally. A BHS in “aiming” mode does not register or pass the traffic, but displays (via LED panel) the strength of received radio signals (based on radio channel selected via Tools =>...
For mounting PTP 450 BHSs, Cambium Networks offers the SMB1A mounting bracket. Network connection The network connection to a PTP 450 Series BHM/BHS is made via a 10 BaseT or 100 BaseT Ethernet connection. The power is provided to the BHM/BHS over the Ethernet connection using a proprietary powering technique.
The Radio provides a grounding lug for grounding to the tower or support structure. The PTP 450 Series is not designed to survive direct lightning strikes. For this reason the unit must not be installed as the highest point in a localized area.
PTP 450 Configuration and User Guide Wireless operation Wireless operation This section describes how the PTP 450 wireless link is operated, including modulation modes, power control and security. Time division duplexing The system uses Time Division Duplexing (TDD) – one channel alternately transmits and receives rather than using one channel for transmitting and a second channel for receiving.

Compliance with radio regulations LBT on startup versus operational mode The same energy detection method is performed by the PTP 450 BHM whether it is in start-up acquisition mode or operational mode. In start-up acquisition mode the BHM monitors the channel frequency for 1 second before determining if the channel is unoccupied.

Committed Information Rate. For a BHS, a level of bandwidth that can be guaranteed to never fall below a specified minimum (unless oversubscribed). In the Cambium implementation, this is controlled by the Low Priority Uplink CIR, Low Priority Downlink CIR, High Priority Uplink CIR, and High Priority Downlink CIR parameters.
(TOS) field of packets whose values correlates to the channel on which the packet should be sent. The value is a numeric code point. Cambium modules map each of 64 code points to values of 0 through 7. Three of these code points have fixed values, and the remaining 61 are settable.
