Page 38
Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the 450 Platform Family Point-to-Multipoint The PMP configuration of 450 Platform Family consists of Access Point (AP) and Subscriber Module (SM) ODU. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time Division Duplex (TDD).
Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the 450 Platform Family Product variants The 450 Platform Family is available in the following product variants: • The ODU is supplied in the following regional variants: FCC, intended for deployment in the USA EU, intended for deployment in countries of the European Union or other countries following ETSI regulations Rest of the World (RoW), intended for deployment in countries other than USA and EU countries.
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Wireless operation This section describes how the 450 Platform Family 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.
Page 41
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation TDD frame parameters The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following: • Channel Bandwidth • Cyclic Prefix • Frame Period • Frame configuration - Downlink Data • Link operation – Dynamic Rate Adaptation OFDM and Channel Bandwidth The PMP/PTP 450 Platform Family transmits using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Frame configuration - Downlink Data The percentage of frame assigned to transport downlink data. The downlink data specifies the percentage of the aggregate throughput for the downlink (frames transmitted from the AP/BHM to the subscriber).
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Encryption The 450 Platform Family supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The 450 Platform Family supports the following form of encryption for security of the wireless link: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses the Rijndael algorithm and 128-bit keys and 256-bit key size to establish a higher level of security.
Page 44
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation Channel estimation is achieved at the access point in the downlink direction by sending a specific signal to a wireless node, which the node then reports back. The uplink channel estimates are made in a similar manner at the access point, by measuring the normal uplink communication to each node.

Co-location between Cambium PMP 450 Series 3 GHz devices and LTE devices When co-locating systems in the same geographical area it is important to select the correct system parameters in order to avoid interference.
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Configuratio Frame Subframe number time 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms 5 ms Frame length TDD systems can be co-located only if they have the same frame length. Below figure shows why it is not possible to co-locate APs supporting mismatched frame lengths. Let us assume that AP1 operates with a 10 ms frame while AP2 operates with a 5 ms frame.
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Frame start GPS synchronization is a way of guaranteeing that the frame start is the same for all APs. This is what is used by the Cambium PMP devices. However, the timing between the GPS signal and the start of the TDD frame is not necessarily the same for all systems.
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning When selecting one of the LTE Frame Configuration options from the Co-located LTE Frame Configuration Option drop-down menu, a shift is applied to the Cambium PMP frame in order to correctly line up with the selected LTE frame. Frame parameters After following the steps described above, the Cambium PMP and the LTE APs are synchronized, and their frame length is the same.
The configuration parameters that affect the frame structure need to be selected in order to avoid any overlap between transmit and receive times. In order to help with the selection of system parameters, Cambium Networks offers a PMP – LTE co- location tool, available at https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/colocationtool/...
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning In the example in below figure the second equation is not satisfied, and the two systems cannot be co- located. The plot to the right also shows that with this frame configuration the LTE AP is still transmitting when the PMP AP is already receiving.

Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Considerations on back-to-back frequency reuse Cambium Networks recommends using back-to-back (ABAB) frequency reuse, as shown in Figure This means that a base site of four sectors can be created using two frequencies, which works very well and helps define networks in situations where high capacity is required in a limited amount of spectrum.
Page 159
Chapter 3: System planning Radio Frequency planning Figure 54 Reflection Reflection likelihood guidance As shown in the previous section, reflection can cause a decrease in throughput in an ABAB base site. This section provides guidance on whether a reflection is likely to cause interference. The first condition for whether a reflection can cause the data rate to reduce is that the reflecting object must be in view of the AP and the SM to re-transmit the signal.

Chapter 3: System planning Link planning Link planning This section describes factors to be considered when planning links, such as range, obstacles path loss and throughput. LINKPlanner is recommended. Range and obstacles Calculate the range of the link and identify any obstacles that may affect radio performance. Perform a survey to identify all the obstructions (such as trees or buildings) in the path and to assess the risk of interference.

Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Note If an IP address that is set in the module is not the 169.254.x.x network address, then the network operator must assign the computer a static IP address in the same subnet.

Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning In conjunction with the NAT features, each SM provides: • A DHCP server that assigns IP addresses to computers connected to the SM by Ethernet protocol. • A DHCP client that receives an IP address for the SM from a network DHCP server. In conjunction with the NAT features, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) allows the assignment of one IP address behind the SM for a device to logically exist outside the firewall and receive network traffic.

Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning This is the Translation Bridging feature, which you can enable in the General page of the Configuration web page in the AP. When this feature is disabled, the setting of the Send Untranslated ARP parameter has no effect, because all packets are forwarded untranslated (with the source MAC address intact).

Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning Operators may configure priority precedence as 802.1p Then Diffserv (Default) or Diffserv Then 802.1p. Since these priority precedence configurations are independent between the AP and SM, this setting must be configured on both the AP and SM to ensure that the precedence is adhered to by both sides of the link.

The authentication protocol available is MD5. If privacy will be used, identify the protocol. The privacy protocol available is cbc-des. Managing module access by passwords From the factory, each module has a preconfigured administrator-level account in the name root, which initially requires no associated password.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Planning for RADIUS operation Configure RADIUS where remote authentication is required for users of the web-based interface. Remote authentication has the following advantages: • Control of passwords can be centralized. • Management of user accounts can be more sophisticated. For example; users can be prompted by a network manager to change passwords at regular intervals.
Chapter 3: System planning Security planning Note In only the SNMP case, filtering occurs before the packet interacts with the protocol stack. • To block a subscriber from using FTP, you can filter Ports 20 and 21 (the FTP ports) for both the TCP and UDP protocols.
