10. What are the differences between the pTp 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series power over Ethernet?
PTP 300, 400 and 500 Series radios support 100 BaseT while PTP 600 Series radios support 100/1000
BaseT. PTP 400 bridges are powered via two pairs of the Ethernet drop cable; the primary power is supplied
on Pin 8 (Pin 7 return) while supplementary power for the longer cable runs is supplied on Pin 5 (Pin 4
Return). The supplementary pair is also used for ODU signaling. PTP 300, 500 and 600 bridges are powered
via four data pairs of the Ethernet drop cable.
11. Can I source and use my own poE adapter with pTp 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series bridges?
No. PTP 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series systems use a non-standard PoE configuration, and failure to use
each system's Powered Indoor Unit (PIDU Plus) could result in equipment damage, will invalidate the safety
certification and may cause a safety hazard. Note: The Motorola Canopy
power PTP 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series radios.
1. How do pTp 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series bridges integrate into my data network?
The system acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of your network. In this sense, each
point-to-point wireless bridge can be treated as a virtual wired connection between the two points. The PTP
system forwards 802.3 Ethernet packets destined for the other part of the network and filters packets that
it does not need to forward. The system is transparent to higher-level management systems such as VLANs
and Spanning Tree. In addition, the PTP 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series systems integrate with Motorola's
Canopy Point-to-Multipoint and MOTOMESH networks.
13. Can I use Apple Macintosh
®
Yes, but there are some restrictions. Mozilla 1.6 or higher is recommended. There are some issues with
Internet Explorer 5.2(IE) and Safari, which could mislead the user.
14. What is unique about the pTp 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series radios?
There are many unique features built-in to the radios such as Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO),
intelligent OFDM, intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection, Dual Polarized antennas, Adaptive Modulation
and spatial diversity capability. The radios offer the highest system gain in their class through high-sensitivity
antennas for improved signal recovery. The radios operate on ultra-fast digital signal processors and have a
built-in web server for advanced management capabilities, including detailed radio signal diagnostics.
15. What is Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO)?
PTP 300, 400, 500 and 600 Series Series radios radiate multiple beams from their dual polarized antennas
– the effect of which is to significantly protect against fading and to radically increase the probability that
the receiver will decode a usable signal in the face of multi-path and interference conditions. The effects of
MIMO combined with intelligent OFDM provide a best-in-class link budget with high reliability in LoS, nLoS
and NLoS environments.
16. What is Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing?
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a method of digital modulation in which a signal
is split into several narrowband channels at different frequencies (or sub-carriers). Motorola takes this
technology further by using more sub-carriers and pilot tones than comparable systems to handle multi-path
dispersion and instant fade recovery.
