A PTP 300 Series Bridge system consists of a pair of identical devices that are deployed one at each end of the link. At installation, the user sets up one unit as the Master and the other as the Slave.
Power is provided to the ODU over the 100BaseT Ethernet connection using a patented non- standard powering technique. Power is fed into the PTP 300 Series Bridge PIDU Plus from the mains via a standard “figure of eight” mains plug. Connection between the ODU and PIDU Plus is made using standard CAT5e outdoor UV resistant cable.
Getting Started 3.3.2 PIDU Plus – PTP 300/500/600 Series Bridge The PTP 300/500/600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus is used to generate the ODU supply voltage from the mains supply and inject this supply voltage into the 100BaseT Ethernet connection to the ODU.
On the left hand side of the PIDU Plus, 48V DC input and output connections can be found. These are used to power the PTP 300 Series Bridge from an external DC source or to provide a level of power supply redundancy, as shown in Section 3.3.3...
Getting Started 3.3.3 Redundancy and Alternate Powering Configurations NOTE: The use of DC supplies of less than 55v will reduce the usable distance between the PIDU Plus and ODU. CAUTION: The maximum distance from the ODU to the connected network equipment is 100m (330 ft) when using 100BaseT.
Getting Started Figure 8 External DC Supply and Redundant AC Supply 3.3.4 Remote LEDs and Recovery Switch The PTP 300/500/600 Series Bridge PIDU Plus provides a facility to connect remote LEDs and Recovery switch allowing the PIDU Plus to be mounted inside an enclosure.

This approach allows Con- figuration and Management to be carried out on any standard web browsing technology.
Product Architecture 4 Product Architecture The PTP 300 Series Bridge consists of an identical pair of units deployed one at each end of the link. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time Division Duplex (TDD). One unit is deployed as a master and the other as a slave. The master unit takes responsibility for controlling the link in both directions.
HTTP, SNMP, etc. The unit can be configured to use VLAN tags on the management interfaces. The PTP 300 Series Bridge is fully software upgradeable. New software images are first downloaded http://www.motorola.com/ptp from the Motorola website to a convenient computer.
First an operator can utilize the default spectrum management mode i-DFS (intelligent Dy- namic Frequency Selection). This mode uses the PTP 300 Series Bridge ability to measure the interference levels in all channels to build up a picture of the interference / noise levels in all channels.
General Considerations 5.2 Region Codes The PTP 300 Series Bridge uses a system of Region Codes to control the operation of the radio link. The Region Code is set by a License Key. CAUTION: To meet the regulatory requirements of your region you should set the correct Region Code by obtaining a new License Key from your reseller or distributor.
When shipped from the factory units are configured as follows: PTP 300 Series Bridge 5.4 GHz – Region Code 26 PTP 300 Series Bridge 5.8 GHz – Region Code 1 Note that 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz are different products.

Fault Finding 10 Fault Finding If communication has been lost with the unit at the near end of the link then there may be a hardware fault with the wiring, network or hardware. Go to the hardware section below. If communication with the far end of the link is lost then go to the radio section below.
Fault Finding Differentiating between 1-3 and 4 can be achieved by removing the power for 1 second. Watch the Ethernet indicator for 1 minute while power is removed, if it never flashes then the problem is 1-3. Take the jumper (J905) out of the PIDU Plus and check the current taken by the ODU. This should be 300mA to 1A when starting to run normally.
Fault Finding 4. Check the cable resistance between pins 4 & 7 at the RJ45. Check against column 4 in Table 5. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pins 1 & 8 for all cable lengths. 6. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 1 and ODU ground for all cable lengths.
The PTP 300 Series bridge ODU grounding point can be found on the bottom of the unit. The 300 Series Bridge is supplied with an appropriate grounding lug for attachment to the ODU.

Lightning Protection 11.3.1 Pre-Power Testing Before plugging the RJ45 from the lower LPU (or if not fitted the ODU) into the PIDU, check the following resistances at the RJ45: 1. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&2, 3&6, 4&5 and 7&8 at the RJ45. Check against column 2 in Table 20.
Lightning Protection 11.3.2 Post-Power Testing The Correct Operation is as follows: 1. Connect the RJ45 to the PIDU and apply power to the PIDU, the power LED should illuminate continuously. 2. 30 seconds after powering, the Ethernet LED should be observed starting with 10 slow flashes. 3.
Lightning Protection 11.4 Locating the Fault Having identified which of the wiring cores are likely to be connected incorrectly, the location of the faulty cable can be narrowed by disconnecting sections of the drop cable and by unplugging the relevant RJ45 connectors from the LPUs. As a further aid to locating the fault the Ethernet connections are also available inside the LPU.
