About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Important regulatory information
The PTP 700 product is 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).
Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated
special requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices.
Unlicensed devices must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.
The PTP 700 provides detect and avoid functionality for countries and frequency bands requiring
protection for radar systems.
Installers and users must meet all local regulatory requirements for radar detection. To meet these
requirements, users must install a license key for the correct country during commissioning of the
PTP 700. If this is not done, installers and users may be liable to civil and criminal penalties.
Contact the Cambium helpdesk if more guidance is required.
USA and Canada specific information
The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has asked 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.
In order to comply with these FCC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the PTP 700 for
operation in the USA or Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that
comply with FCC/IC rules. In particular, operation of radio channels overlapping the band 5600
MHz to 5650 MHz is not allowed and these channels are permanently barred.
In addition, other channels may also need to be barred when operating close to weather radar
installations.
To ensure compliance with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII Devices
Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS Capabilities), follow
Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) on page 3-24.
Other variants of the PTP 700 are available for use in the rest of the world, but these variants are
not supplied to the USA or Canada except under strict controls, when they are needed for export
and deployment outside the USA or Canada.

About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Renseignements specifiques aux USA et au Canada
La Commission Fédérale des Communications des Etats-Unis (FCC) a demandé aux fabricants de
mettre en œuvre des mécanismes spécifiques pour éviter d’interférer avec des systèmes radar
fonctionnant dans la bande 5600 MHz à 5650 MHz. Ces mécanismes doivent être mis en œuvre
dans tous les produits capables de fonctionner à l'extérieur dans la bande 5470 MHz à 5725 MHz.
Les fabricants doivent s'assurer que les produits de radiocommunications ne peuvent pas être
configurés pour fonctionner en dehors des règles de la FCC, en particulier, il ne doit pas être
possible de désactiver ou modifier les fonctions de protection des radars qui ont été démontrés de
la FCC.
Afin de se conformer à ces exigences de la FCC, Cambium fournit des variantes du PTP 700
exclusivement pour les Etats-Unis ou au Canada. Ces variantes sont autorisés à fonctionner avec
des clés de licence qui sont conformes aux règles de la FCC / IC. En particulier, le fonctionnement
des canaux de radio qui chevauchent la bande 5600-5650 MHz est interdite et ces canaux sont
définitivement exclus.
EU Declaration of Conformity
Hereby, Cambium Networks declares that the Cambium PTP 700 Series Wireless Ethernet Bridge
complies with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The
declaration of conformity may be consulted at:
http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/support/ec-doc
Application firmware
Download the latest PTP 700 Series firmware and install it in the Outdoor Units (ODUs) before
deploying the PTP 700 equipment. Instructions for installing firmware are provided in Upgrading
software image on page 7-65.
Specific expertise and training for professional installers
To ensure that the PTP 700 is installed and configured in compliance with the requirements of
Industry Canada and the FCC, installers must have the radio engineering skills and training
described in this section. This is particularly important when installing and configuring a PTP 700
system for operation in the 5.1 GHz and 5.4 GHz UNII bands.
Avoidance of weather radars
The installer must be familiar with the requirements in FCC KDB 443999. Essentially, the installer
must be able to:
Page 4
About This User Guide Important regulatory information
• Access the FCC data base of weather radar location and channel frequencies.
• Use this information to correctly configure the product (using the GUI) to avoid operation on
channels that should be barred according to the guidelines that are contained in the KDB and
explained in detail in this user guide.
External antennas
When using an external connectorized antenna (as compared to the integrated antenna in the
Conectorized+Integrated platform variant), 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.
Antennas externes
Lorsque vous utilisez une version du produit sans antenne intégrée, il peut être nécessaire de
réduire la puissance d'émission pour garantir que la limite réglementaire de puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) n'est pas dépassée. L'installateur doit avoir une bonne
compréhension de la façon de calculer le gain de l'antenne de gain de l'antenne réelle et les pertes
dans les câbles de connections.
La plage de valeurs admissibles pour un gain maximal de l'antenne et des pertes de câbles de
connections sont inclus dans ce guide d'utilisation avec un exemple de calcul. L'interface
utilisateur du produit applique automatiquement la limite de puissance menée correct afin de
s'assurer qu'il ne soit pas possible pour l'installation de dépasser la limite PIRE, lorsque les valeurs
appropriées pour le gain d'antenne et les pertes de câbles d'alimentation sont entrées dans
l’interface utilisateur.
Ethernet networking skills
The installer must have the ability to configure IP addressing on a PC and to set up and control
products using a web browser interface.
Lightning protection
To protect outdoor radio installations from the impact of lightning strikes, the installer must be
familiar with the normal procedures for site selection, bonding and grounding. Installation
guidelines for the PTP 700 can be found in Chapter 2: System hardware and Chapter 5: Installation.
Page 5
About This User Guide Important regulatory information
Training
The installer needs to have basic competence in radio and IP network installation. The specific
requirements applicable to the PTP 700 should be gained by reading Chapter 5: Installation and
Chapter 6: Configuration and alignment and by performing sample set ups at base workshop
before live deployments.

Overview of the PTP 700 Series
This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants and components of the PTP
700 series.
Purpose
Cambium PTP 700 Series Bridge products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-to-point
microwave links in licensed, unlicensed and lightly-licensed frequency bands between 4400 MHz
and 5875 MHz. Users must ensure that the PTP 700 Series complies with local operating
regulations.
The PTP 700 Series acts as a transparent bridge between two segments of the operator’s network.
In this sense, it can be treated as a virtual wired connection between two points. The PTP 700
Series
it does not need to forward. The system is transparent to higher-level protocols such as VLANs
and Spanning Tree.
forwards 802.3 Ethernet frames destined for the other part of the network and filters frames
Key features
The PTP 700 is a high performance wireless bridge for Ethernet traffic with a maximum throughput
of 450 Mbps. It is capable of operating in line-of-sight (LOS), near-LOS and non-LOS propagation
condition. Its maximum LOS range is 200 km. The PTP 700 operates in licensed, unlicensed and
lightly-licensed frequency bands between 4400 MHz and 5875 MHz. It has a very high spectral
efficiency of 10 bps/Hz and supports a channel bandwidth of up to 45 MHz. The PTP 700
Connectorized ODU is designed for use with an external antenna. The PTP 700
Connectorized+Integrated ODU can be used with an external antenna or with an integrated 21 dBi
flat plate antenna.
The wireless link is TDD based and supports both symmetric and asymmetric TDD configurations.
From an Ethernet point-of-view, the PTP 700 wireless link is a transparent Layer 2 bridge. It
supports up to three Gigabit Ethernet ports. Two ports support twisted pair Gigabit Ethernet. One
of them is capable of providing power via standard 802.3at PoE to an external device such as a
video surveillance camera or a wireless access point. The third port accepts either a twisted pair or
fibre GE SFP module.
The PTP 700 Series supports an optional TDM adaptor that allows E1 or T1 telecoms circuits to be
bridged over the wireless link.
The PTP 700 Series has extensive quality of service (QoS) classification capability and supports up
to eight levels of queues. Management of the unit may be via the same interface as the bridged
traffic (in-band management) or on a separate port (out-of-band local or remote management).
PTP 700 supports both synchronous Ethernet and operation as an IEEE 1588-2008 transparent
clock.

Typical bridge deployment
The PTP 700 is an “all outdoor” solution consisting of a wireless bridge between two sites. Each
site installation consists of a PTP 700 Connectorized outdoor unit (ODU) or a PTP 700
Connectorized+Integrated ODU, and a power injector (PSU) (Figure 1). The ODU provides the
following interfaces:
• PSU port: This provides proprietary power over Ethernet and connection to the management
and/or data networks via 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet. In the basic configuration, this
is the only Ethernet connection to the ODU.
• SFP port: This provides an optical or copper Gigabit Ethernet interface for customer data
and/or network management.
• Aux port: This provides an optional power and 100BASE-TX or 1000BASE-T Ethernet
connection to an IEEE803.2at device such as a video camera or wireless access point.

Hardware overview
The main hardware components of the PTP 700 are as follows:
• Outdoor unit (ODU): The ODU is a self-contained transceiver unit that houses both radio and
networking electronics. The PTP 700 ODU is supplied in two configurations:
o A PTP 700 Connectorized ODU intended to work with separately mounted external
antennas.
o A PTP 700 Connectorized+Integrated ODU intended to work with either separately mounted
external antennas or with an integrated 21 dBi flat plate antenna.
• The ODU is supplied in the following regional variants:
o FCC, intended for deployment in the USA and Canada
o EU, intended for deployment in countries of the European Union or other countries
following ETSI regulations
o Rest of the World (RoW), intended for deployment in countries other than USA and EU
countries.
• Power supply unit (PSU): The PTP 650/700 AC+DC power injector powers the ODU from an AC
or DC supply.
• Antennas and antenna cabling: Connectorized ODUs require external antennas connected
using RF cable.
• PTP SYNC unit (optional): One PTP SYNC unit is needed for each link in a network with TDD
synchronization. PTP-SYNC must be used with the AC + DC Enhanced Power Injector.
• Network Indoor Unit (NIDU) (optional): The NIDU allows up to eight TDM channels (E1 or T1)
to be bridged over a PTP 700 link.
• Ethernet cabling: All configurations require a copper Ethernet Cat5e connection from the ODU
(PSU port) to the PSU. Advanced configurations may also require one or both of the following:
o A copper or optical Ethernet connection from the ODU (SFP port) to network terminating
equipment or another device.
o A copper Ethernet Cat5e connection from the ODU (Aux port) to an auxiliary device.
• Lightning protection unit (LPU): LPUs are installed in the PSU and Aux copper drop cables to
provide transient voltage surge suppression.
• Ground cables: ODU, LPUs and outdoor copper Ethernet cables are bonded to the site
grounding system using ground cables.

Wireless operation
This section describes how the PTP 700 wireless link is operated, including modulation modes,
power control and security.
Time division duplexing
TDD cycle
PTP 700 links operate using Time Division Duplexing (TDD). They use a TDD cycle in which the
ODUs alternately transmit and receive TDD bursts. The TDD cycle is illustrated in Figure 2. The
steps in the cycle are as follows:
aster transmits a burst to the TDD slave.
master-slave burst propagates over the link.
lave receives the burst from the master.
he slave processes the master-slave burst.
master.
slave-master burst propagates over the link.
aster receives the burst from the slave.
aster transmits the next burst to the slave.
The frame duration must be long enough to allow the master to receive the complete burst in 7
before starting to transmit in 8.
TDD frame parameters
The TDD burst duration varies depending on the following:
• Channel bandwidth
• Link range
• Link optimization mode
• Link symmetry
• Offered traffic loading.
The TDD frame duration varies depending on the following:
• TDD burst duration master-slave.
• TDD burst duration slave-master.
• Link range.
Page 1-6
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Figure 2
The propagation delay in Step 2 is necessarily equal to the propagation delay in Step 6, and is
determined solely by the link range. There may be added delays between rx and tx on the master
and slave to minimize interference, as set up by the link planner or installer.
TDD cycle
Channel selection
The PTP 700 series links are capable of transmitting and receiving on the same channel or on
different channels. In other words, the slave-master direction may use a different channel from the
master-slave direction. Independent selection of transmit and receive frequencies can be useful in
planned networks or for countering interference.
When links operate in radar avoidance regions, each unit monitors its transmit channel for the
presence of radar signals. Therefore, the transmit and receive channels are always identical.
