Important regulatory information
The 450 Platform Family products are certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not
allowed to cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Application software
Download the latest 450 Platform Family software and install it in the Outdoor Units (ODUs) before
deploying the equipment. Instructions for installing software are provided in Upgrading the software
version and using CNUT on page 7-64.
USA specific information
Caution
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation
The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires manufacturers to implement special
features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate in the band 5600 MHz to 5650
MHz. These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz
to 5725 MHz.
Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of FCC
rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have
been demonstrated to the FCC.
Cambium supplies variants of the 450i and 450m Series specifically for operation in the USA in order to
comply with FCC requirements (KDB 905462 D02 UNII DFS Compliance Procedures New Rules v01r02).
These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules.
Similarly, Cambium supplies variants of the 450 Series specifically for operation in the USA in order to
comply with FCC requirements (KDB 443999 D01 Approval of DFS UNII Devices v01r04). These variants
are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply with FCC rules. To ensure compliance when
using PMP 450 Series and PTP 450 Series, follow the recommendation in Avoidance of weather radars
(USA only).
Page 5
External antennas
When using a connectorized version of the product, the conducted transmit power may need to be
reduced to ensure the regulatory limit on transmitter EIRP is not exceeded. The installer must have an
understanding of how to compute the effective antenna gain from the actual antenna gain and the feeder
cable losses.
The range of permissible values for maximum antenna gain and feeder cable losses are included in this
user guide together with a sample calculation. The product GUI automatically applies the correct
conducted power limit to ensure that it is not possible for the installation to exceed the EIRP limit, when
the appropriate values for antenna gain and feeder cable losses are entered into the GUI.
Avoidance of weather radars (USA only)
To comply with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices Operating in the 5470 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), units which are installed within 35 km (22
miles) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system (or have a line of sight propagation path to
such a system) must be configured to avoid any frequency within +30 MHz or –30 MHz of the frequency
of the TDWR device.
This requirement applies even if the master is outside the 35 km (22 miles) radius
but communicates with outdoor clients which may be within the 35 km (22 miles) radius of the TDWRs. If
interference is not eliminated, a distance limitation based on line-of-sight from TDWR will need to be
used. Devices with bandwidths greater than 20 MHz may require greater frequency separation.
When planning a link in the USA, visit http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx, enter the location of
the planned link and search for TDWR radars. If a TDWR system is located within 35 km (22 miles) or has
line of sight propagation to the PTP device, perform the following tasks:
Register the installation on http://spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx.
Make a list of channel center frequencies that must be barred, that is, those falling within +30 MHz or
–30 MHz of the frequency of the TDWR radars.
The 450 Platform Family AP must be configured to not operate on the affected channels.

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. To accomplish TDD, the
AP/BHM must provide sync to its SM/BHS. Furthermore, collocated APs/BHMs must be synced together
– an unsynchronized AP/BHM that transmits during the receive cycle of a collocated AP/BHM can prevent
a second AP/BHM from being able to decode the signals from its APs/BHSs. In addition, across a
geographical area, APs/BHMs that can “hear” each other benefit from using a common sync to further
reduce self-interference within the network.
Modules use TDD on a common frequency to divide frames for uplink (orange) and downlink (green)
usage, as shown in the figure below.
For more information on synchronization configuration options, see GPS synchronization on page 2-45.
Figure 2 TDD frame division
Time
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Page 1-17
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).
This wideband signal consists of many equally spaced sub-carriers. Although each sub carrier is
modulated at a low rate using conventional modulation schemes, the resultant data rate from the subcarriers is high. OFDM works exceptionally over a Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) channel.
The channel bandwidth of the OFDM signal is configurable to one of the following values: 5, 7, 10, 15, 20
and 30 MHz. Higher bandwidths provide greater link capacity at the expense of using more bandwidth.
Systems configured for a narrower channel bandwidth provide better receiver sensitivity and can also be
an appropriate choice in deployments where the amount of free spectrum is limited.
Note
The channel bandwidth must be configured to the same value at both ends of the link. Not
all channel bandwidths are available in all regulatory bands.
Cyclic Prefix
OFDM technology uses a cyclic prefix, where a portion of the end of a symbol (slot) is repeated at the
beginning of the symbol (slot) to allow multi-pathing to settle before receiving the desired data. A 1/16
cyclic prefix means that for every 16 bits of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. For your
convenience, the 450 Platform Family ODUs have been locked to a 1/16 CP.
Frame Period
The frame period or frame duration is the time between the beginning of a frame and the end of the
frame. The 450 Platform Family supports two frame periods: 2.5 ms and 5 ms.
Note
PMP 450m AP supports 2.5 ms Frame Period only.
The 5ms frame period configuration provides higher throughput as a result of reduced frame overhead
during transmission. In turn, the 2.5 ms frame period configuration affords reduced latency in the system,
half of that introduced by the 5 ms frame configuration.
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Page 1-18
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).
The configurable range is 15% to 85%.
Note
The maximum configurable range is 34% to 66% for 40 MHz with 5 ms frame.
Link operation – Dynamic Rate Adapt
The 450 Platform Family ODUs offer eight levels or speeds of operation – 2X MIMO-B and 1X MIMO-A
(QPSK), 4X MIMO-B and 2X MIMO-A (16-QAM), 6x MIMO-B and 3X MIMO-A (64-QAM) and 8X MIMO-B
and 4X MIMO-A (265-QAM). If received power varies due to distance between the AP/BHM and the
SM/BHS or due to obstructions, or if interference affects the RF environment, the system automatically
and dynamically adjusts the links to the best operation level.
The system chooses its modulation rate dynamically, based on an internal ARQ (Automatic Repeat
reQuest) error control method. With ARQ, every data slot of every frame sent over the air (except
downlink broadcast) is expected to be acknowledged by the receiver, and if acknowledgement is not
received, the data is resent. The sending unit monitors these re-sends and adjusts the modulation rate
accordingly. It is normal to have links that change levels of operation as the RF environment changes.
Furthermore, the uplink or downlink portions of TDD duty cycle operate independently.
The various modulation levels used by 450 Platform Family are shown in Table 11.
Table 11 Modulation levels
Rate MIMO-B MIMO-A
QPSK 2X MIMO-B 1X MIMO-A
16-QAM 4X MIMO-B 2X MIMO-A
64-QAM 6X MIMO-B 3X MIMO-A
256-QAM 8X MIMO-B 4X MIMO-A
Note
MIMO-A achieves half the throughput of MIMO-B but adds a combining diversity (gain) which
enhances the link budget or availability.
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Page 1-19
Encryption
The 450 Platform Family supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The 450
Platform Family supports the following forms of encryption for security of the wireless link:
DES (Data Encryption Standard): An over-the-air link encryption option that uses secret 56-bit keys
and 8 parity bits. DES performs a series of bit permutations, substitutions, and recombination
operations on blocks of data. DES encryption does not affect the performance or throughput of the
system.
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 than DES. AES
products are certified as compliant with the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 197) in
the U.S.A.
The default setting on an AP is "Disabled".
MIMO
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and increase the
probability that the receiver decodes a usable signal. When the effects of MIMO are combined with those
of OFDM techniques and a high link budget, there is a high probability of a robust connection over a nonline-of-sight path.
The sub-features that comprises the MIMO techniques utilized in the 450 Platform Family ODUs are:
MIMO-A: This technique enables 450 Platform Family radio to use a scheme that optimizes coverage
by transmitting the same data over
both antennas. This redundancy improves the signal to noise ratio
at the receiver making it more
robust.
MIMO-B: This technique provides the ability to double the throughput of a radio transmission under
proper RF conditions. Different data streams are transmitted simultaneously on two different
antennas.
MU-MIMO
Multiple-input multiple-output, or MIMO, is a range of technologies used to multiply the capacity of a
wireless connection without requiring more spectrum.
Although traditional MIMO techniques are focused on increasing the bandwidth available between two
wireless nodes, multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) applies these technologies to increase overall wireless
network capacity by allowing an access point to communicate wirelessly with more than one wireless
node at once.
A MU-MIMO access point features an array of antennas. When the AP decides to communicate with
multiple nodes at the same time, it creates multiple simultaneous beams each directed to a specific node.
This is contrast to a traditional wireless system, where two wireless nodes cannot communicate on the
same channel to the same access point at the same time, without causing significant self-interference
and degrading the overall wireless network performance.
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Page 1-20
A MU-MIMO access point estimates and measures what a transmission from each wireless node ‘sounds
like’, by applying knowledge of the wireless path characteristics between the access point and node.
Known as channel estimation, this process is of vital importance; without it, the access point cannot
distinguish properly between wireless nodes, affecting performance.
Channel estimation is achieved by the access point sending a specific signal to a wireless node, which
the node then reflects back. By measuring how the signal was received back from the node, the access
point can estimate the wireless conditions between itself and the node, and know to expect these same
conditions to be applied to other communications from that node. This is known as channel sounding.
Channel estimation and sounding must be regularly repeated to ensure wireless network performance
remains high; the speed at which a system is able to accurately estimate the channel has a large impact
on performance.
Once channel estimation is completed for a wireless node, the MU-MIMO access point can electrically
tune each antenna to provide the highest performance for that node. The access point uses beamforming
to create a radio beam to that node which is tuned for optimum performance and avoids beams directed
to other nodes, reducing interference and helping to improve overall wireless network capacity.
A MU-MIMO access point can communicate to multiple wireless nodes simultaneously using this process.
As the majority of nodes are unable to make full use of the whole access point capacity at once,
communicating with several nodes simultaneously can greatly improve the overall capacity achieved in
the wireless network.

When identity-based user accounts are configured, a security officer can define from one to four user
accounts, each of which may have one of the four possible roles:
ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of the root and admin
users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of them creates.
INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR except that the installer
cannot add or delete users or change the password of any other user.
TECHNICIAN, who has permissions to modify basic radio parameters and view informational web
pages
GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status tab
Admin, Installer and Tech accounts can be configured as READ-ONLY. This will allow the account to
only see the items.

Page 1-23
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)
The PMP configuration of 450 Platform Family includes support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial
In User Service) protocol functionality including:
SM Authentication: Allows only known SMs onto the network (blocking “rogue” SMs), and can be
configured to ensure SMs are connecting to a known network (preventing SMs from connecting to
“rogue” APs). RADIUS authentication is used for SMs, but not used for APs.
SM Configuration: Configures authenticated SMs with MIR (Maximum Information Rate), High
Priority, and VLAN (Virtual LAN) parameters from the RADIUS server when a SM registers to an AP.
User Authentication
allows users to configure a separate User authentication server along with
the SM authentication server.
If firmware is upgraded while using this functionality and no User
authentication servers are configured, then AP continues to use the SM authentication server for User
authentication
SM Accounting provides support for RADIUS accounting messages for usage-based billing. This
accounting includes indications for subscriber session establishment, subscriber session
disconnection, and bandwidth usage per session for each SM that connects to the AP.
Centralized AP and SM user name and password management: Allows AP and SM usernames and
access levels (Administrator, Installer, Technician and Read-Only) to be centrally administered in the
RADIUS server instead of on each radio and tracks access events (logon/logoff) for each username
on the RADIUS server. This accounting does not track and report specific configuration actions
performed on radios or pull statistics such as bit counts from the radios. Such functions require an
Element Management System (EMS) such as Cambium Wireless Manager. This accounting is not
the ability to perform accounting functions on the subscriber/end user/customer account.
Framed-IP-Address: Operators may use a RADIUS server to assign management IP addressing to
SM modules. SNMP
The management agent supports fault and performance management by means of an SNMP interface.
The management agent is compatible with SNMP v2c and SNMP v3 using Management Information
Base (MIB) files which are available for download from the Cambium Networks Support website:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/ptp450
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450
Network Time Protocol (NTP)
The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or without a
connection to a network time server (NTP). It can be configured to display local time by setting the time
zone and daylight saving in the Time web page.
If an NTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time at
regular intervals. The 450 Platform Family radios may receive NTP data from a CMM4 module or an NTP
server configured in the system’s management network.
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Page 1-24
The Time Zone option is configurable on the AP’s/BHM’s Time Configuration page, and may be used to
offset the received NTP time to match the operator’s local time zone. When set on the AP/BHM, the offset
is set for the entire sector (AP/BHSs is notified of the current Time Zone upon initial registration). If a Time
Zone change is applied, the AP/BHSs are notified of the change in a best effort fashion, meaning some
AP/BHSs may not pick up the change until the next re-registration. Time Zone changes are noted in the
Event Log.
An AP/BHM which is receiving NTP date and time information from an NTP server or from a GPS
synchronization source may be used as an NTP server. Any client which has IP connectivity to the BHM
may request NTP date and time information from the AP/BHM. No additional configuration (other than the
AP/BHM receiving valid NTP data) is required to use the AP/BHM as an NTP server.

SM/BHS LEDs
The SM/BHS LEDs provide different status of radio based on the operating modes. A SM/BHS in
“operating” mode registers and passes traffic normally. A SM/BHS in “aiming” mode does not register or
pass the traffic, but displays (via LED panel) the strength of received radio signals (based on radio
channel selected via Tools -> Alignment).

Scanning: If the SM/BHS is not registered to AP/BHM, then these three LEDs cycle on and off from
left to right (SYN/1, SES/2 and GPS/3).
Ethernet Link:
o For 450m AP, the MAIN LNK + ACT/5 LED is active when the Main port link is present and the
AUX LNK + ACT/4 LED is active when the Aux port link is present.
o For 450/450i AP/BHM, the MAIN LNK/5 LED is lit continuously when the link is present.
o For 450/450i SM/BHS, the MAIN LNK/5 LED is lit continuously when the link is present.
Data Transfer:
o For 450m AP, the MAIN LNK + ACT/5 LED flashes to indicate data transfer speed and activity on
the Main port and the AUX LNK + ACT/4 LED flashes to indicate data transfer speed and activity
on the Aux port.
o For 450/450i AP/BHM, the ACT/4 LED flashes during data transfer.
o For 450/450i SM/BHS, the ACT/4 LED flashes during data transfer.
o For 450b SM, the LNK/SPD/ACT/4 LED flashes during data transfer.
Aiming Mode
The 3 LEDs (SYN/1, SES/2, and GPS/3) are turned into a 3-position bar graph. The more LEDs that are
lit, the better the received power the module is seeing. The colors of the LEDS have no particular
meaning other than to assist is distinguishing one position from the next.

Outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet cable
Outdoor Cat5e cable is used for all connections that terminate outside the building. For example,
connections between the ODU, surge suppressors (if installed), UGPS receivers (if installed) and the
power supply injector. This is known as a “drop cable” (Figure 21).
The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:
Use only shielded cables and connectors to resist interference and corrosion.
For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief.
Include a 2 ft (0.6 m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal expansion and
contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when needed.
Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the connector at the
device.
Properly crimp all connectors.
Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion.
Order Superior Essex type BBDGe cable from Cambium Networks (Table 39). Other lengths of this cable
are available from Superior Essex.
