(duty cycle). Three fixed Downlink/Uplink frame ratios are available – 75/25, 50/50, and 30/70. Adaptive modulation ePMP 4600L can transmit a data over the wireless link using several different modulation modes ranging from 4096-QAM to QPSK. For a given channel bandwidth and TDD frame structure, each modulation mode transmits data at a fixed rate. -
Page 14: Encryption
There is a secondary requirement for bands requiring radar avoidance. Regulators have mandated that products provide a uniform loading of the spectrum across all devices. In general, this prevents operation with fixed frequency allocations as follows: ETSI regulations allow frequency planning of networks (as that has the same effect of spreading the load across the spectrum). -
Page 15: System Management
The configuration parameters of the ePMP devices are described in Using the menu options. System management This section describes the ePMP management system, including the web interfaces, installation, alerts, upgrades, configuration, and management software. Management agent ePMP equipment is managed through an embedded management agent. Management workstations, network management systems, or PCs can be connected to this agent using the module’s Ethernet port, SFP port, over the air (Subscriber Module connection through AP), or by using the device Wi-Fi management interface. -
Page 16: Snmp
The management agent supports fault and performance management utilizing an SNMP interface. The management agent is compatible with SNMP v2c using one Management Information Base (MIB) file which is available for download from the Cambium Networks support site: https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/epmp. Network Time Protocol (NTP) The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. -
Page 17: System Planning
System Planning This chapter describes the site planning of an ePMP link. The following topics are described in this chapter: Factors to be considered when planning the proposed network is described under Site planning. Site planning Conduct a site survey to ensure that the proposed sites meet the requirements defined in this section. Site installation An ePMP site typically consists of a high supporting structure such as a mast, tower, or building for the devices. - Page 18 Figure 2: Access Point installation diagram Subscriber / Point-to-Point installation diagram Figure 3: System Planning...

Page 19: Lightning Protection Zones
Lightning protection zones Use the rolling sphere method as shown in Figure 4 to determine where it is safe to mount the equipment. An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), all the space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection (Zone B). - Page 20 Table 2: EMC emissions compliance Region Specification (Type Approvals) FCC CFR 47 Part 15 class B Canada RSS-210 RSS-247 Europe ETSI EN 301 489-1 ETSI EN 301 489-17 System Planning...

Page 25: Heater
Heater At startup, if the ePMP 4600L AP module temperature is at or below 32°F (0°C), an internal heater is activated to ensure that the device can successfully begin operation. The unit’s heater is only activated when the unit is powered on and does not apply heat to the device after the start-up process is complete. - Page 26 Applying these formulae to the ePMP device at different wind speeds, the resulting wind loadings are shown in Table 8 Table Table 8: ePMP 4600L Access Point wind loading (Kg) Type of ePMP device Largest Wind speed (meters per second)

Page 34: Surge Suppression Unit
Surge suppression unit Structures, equipment, and people must be protected against power surges (typically caused by lightning) by conducting the surge current to the ground via a separate preferential solid path. The actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable local regulations. To adequately protect an ePMP installation, both ground bonding and transient voltage surge suppression are required. -
Page 35: Regulatory Information
Regulatory Information This section describes planning of the ePMP links to conform to the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation. Attention The user must ensure the ePMP product operates in accordance with local regulatory limits. Note Contact the applicable radio regulator to check if the registration of the ePMP link is required. -
Page 36: Regulatory Limits
Regulatory limits The local regulator may restrict frequency usage and channel width and may limit the amount of conducted or radiated transmitter power. Many countries impose EIRP limits (allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by the ePMP Series. For example, in the 5 GHz band in Europe, these limits are calculated as follows: In the 5.8 GHz band (5725 MHz to 5875 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 36 dBm or (23 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm. -
