50 MHz 55 MHz 56 MHz. The available selection of channel bandwidths varies depending on band and region. Modulation modes The PTP 800 wireless link operates using single carrier modulation with the following fixed modulation modes: QPSK 8PSK 16QAM 32QAM...
PTP 800 uses Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) forward error correction (FEC) coding. The code rate is calculated as the ratio between the un-coded block size and the coded block size. FEC code rate in PTP 800 varies between 0.76 and 0.94 depending on channel bandwidth and modulation mode.
The spectrum license limit is determined by the maximum EIRP permitted by the individual license, the antenna gain and feeder loss. The maximum transmit power that can be configured for PTP 800 is limited by the more restrictive of the equipment limit and the spectrum license limit.
Customer network Transparent Ethernet service The PTP 800 Series provides an Ethernet service between the data port at a local CMU and the data port at an associated remote CMU. The Ethernet service is based on conventional layer two transparent bridging, and is equivalent to the Ethernet Private Line (EPL) service defined by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF).
The PTP 800 CMU contains an embedded management agent with a single IP interface. Network management communication is exclusively based on IP and associated higher layer transport and application protocols. The default IP address of the management agent is 169.254.1.1. The PTP 800 does not require use of supplementary serial interfaces. phn-1478_005v000...
Page 61
4094. Out-of-band management PTP 800 supports an end-to-end out-of-band management mode in which the management agent can be reached from the management port at the local CMU, and (assuming that the wireless link is established) the management port at the remote CMU.
Page 62
Wireless link down alert The PTP 800 Series provides an optional indication of failure of the wireless link by means of a brief disconnection of the Copper data port or the Fiber data port. The Ethernet disconnection occurs at both ends of the link, even for a unidirectional loss of the wireless link.
Wireless Port Frames are transmitted at the Wireless port over a proprietary point-to-point circuit-mode link layer between ends of the PTP 800 link. Ethernet frames received at the data or management ports, or generated internally within the management agent, are encapsulated within a lightweight MAC layer for transmission over the wireless link.
Ethernet bridging Chapter 1 Product description Protocol layers involved in bridging between Ethernet and wireless interfaces are shown in Figure 1-16. Protocol layers involved in bridging between external interfaces and the management agent are shown in Figure 1-17. In these figures, the layers have the meanings defined in IEEE 802.1Q-2005.
The web-based interface is the only interface supported for installation of PTP 800, and for the majority of PTP 800 configuration management tasks. Management tasks using the web-based management interface are described in...
SNMP must be enabled for use by means of the SNMP State attribute in the web- based interface. Activation of SNMP in PTP 800 requires a reboot of the CMU. The web-based interface must be used to configure the destination IP address for SNMP notifications, and to enable or disable generation of each supported SNMP notification.
User Guide: PTP 800 Licensed Ethernet Microwave System management Management port disabled warning ODU status Management port configuration mismatch Wireless link status Email alerts The management agent can be configured to generate alerts by electronic mail when any of the following events occur:...
The management agent supports application software upgrade using either the web-based interface or the SNMP interface. PTP 800 software images are digitally signed, and the CMU will accept only images that contain a valid Motorola PTP digital signature. The CMU always requires a reboot to complete a software upgrade.
Once applied, the AES upgrade is bound to a single CMU and is not transferrable. AES encryption in PTP 800 is based on pre-shared keys. An identical key must be entered at each end of the link. For more information, see:...
Chapter 1 Product description Capacity upgrades All PTP 800 CMUs are shipped with a factory-set 10 Mbit/s capacity limit, meaning that capacity is restricted to a maximum of 10 Mbit/s at the data port. When requiring additional capacity, users can purchase upgrades. Upgrades are applied through the CMU license key, without any change to the hardware.

Grounding and lightning protection Chapter 2 Planning considerations Protection inside the building The following protection requirements must be observed inside multi-story or high rise buildings (Figure 2-9): The IF cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at the entry point to the building.
Any circuit breaker or switch should be labeled. Wiring from the power source to the PTP 800 should be sized accordingly. All supply wiring should be to national standards and best practice. A rack mounted power supply should be grounded in accordance with national standards and best practice.
Chapter 2 Planning considerations Data network planning Management mode Decide how the PTP 800 will be managed. In the default out-of-band local management mode, the management agent can be reached only from the Management port of the CMU. This mode is appropriate during installation when the equipment is managed using a locally connected PC at each end of the link.
Quality of service for bridged Ethernet traffic Choose an appropriate assignment between the priority code point in bridged Ethernet frames and PTP 800 traffic classes. This assignment should be consistent with quality of service policy in the rest of the customer data network.
Chapter 2 Planning considerations Fast Ethernet port shutdown If the PTP 800 link is part of a redundant network where STP or EAPS is used in external Ethernet bridges in order to resolve loops, enable the Data Port Wireless Down Alert and Management Data Port Wireless Down Alert to ensure that protection protocols are invoked promptly following loss of the wireless link.
