Important regulatory information

The PMP/PTP 450i and 450 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 firmware

Download the latest PMP/PTP 450(i) Series firmware and install it in the Outdoor Units (ODUs)
before deploying the PMP/PTP 450(i) Series equipment. Instructions for installing firmware are
provided in Error! Reference source not found. on page Error! Bookmark not defined..

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.

In order to comply with these FCC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the PMP/PTP 450(i)
for operation in the USA. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply
with FCC rules.

To ensure compliance with FCC rules (KDB 905462 D04 Operational Modes for DFS Testing New
Rules v01), follow the recommendation in Avoidance of weather radars (USA only).

Chapter 1: Product description

Important regulatory information

Page 4

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 PMP 450(i) AP must be configured to not operate on the affected channels.

Canada specific information

Caution
This device complies with Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSSs. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause interference; and
(2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause

undesired operation of the device.

Industry Canada 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 IC
rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that
have been demonstrated to IC.

In order to comply with these IC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the PMP/PTP 450(i)
for operation in Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with license keys that comply
with 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.

Other variants of the PMP/PTP 450(i) are available for use in the rest of the world, but these
variants are not supplied to Canada except under strict controls, when they are needed for export
and deployment outside Canada.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux

appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions
suivantes :

(1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si

le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Industry Canada (IC) 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 IC, en particulier, il ne doit pas être possible de
désactiver ou modifier les fonctions de protection des radars qui ont été démontrés à IC.

Afin de se conformer à ces exigences de IC, Cambium fournit des variantes du PMP/PTP 450(i)
exclusivement pour le Canada. Ces variantes ne permettent pas à l’équipement de fonctionner en
dehors des règles de IC. En particulier, le fonctionnement des canaux de radio qui chevauchent la
bande 5600-5650 MHz est interdite et ces canaux sont définitivement exclus.

Overview of the PMP/PTP 450(i) Series

This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants and components of the
PMP/PTP 450(i) series.

Purpose

Cambium PMP/PTP 450(i) Series products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-to-point
and point-to-multipoint microwave links in unlicensed and lightly-licensed frequency bands
900MHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.5/3.65 GHz and 4.9 to 5.925 GHz.

Users must ensure that the PMP/PTP 450(i) Series complies with local operating regulations.
The PMP/PTP 450(i) Series acts as a transparent bridge between two or more segments of the

operator’s network. In this sense, it can be treated as a virtual wired connection among points. The
PMP/PTP 450(i) Series forwards 802.3 Ethernet frames destined for the other part of the network
and filters frames it does not need to forward. The system is transparent to higher-level protocols
such as VLANs.

PMP/PTP 450(i) Series platforms

The PMP/PTP 450(i) Series supports two platforms:

• PMP/PTP 450i Series

• PMP/PTP 450 Series

PMP/PTP 450i Series

The PMP/PTP 450i is a high performance wireless bridge for Ethernet traffic. It is capable of
operating in line-of-sight (LOS), near-LOS and non-LOS propagation condition. It supports 900
MHz1 and 4.9 to 5.925 GHz frequency band.

Key features

The PMP/PTP 450i Series has extensive quality of service (QoS) classification capability.
The Cambium PMP/PTP 450i Series offers the following benefits:

• Cambium’s highest performing point-to-multipoint solution, with up to 129 Mbps usable

throughput for PMP and upto 132 Mbps usable throughput for PTP

• State-of-the-art MIMO (Multi-In Multi-Out) technology

• Efficient GPS synchronized, scheduled TDD operation for easy AP/BHM site deployment and

performance that is consistent regardless of SM/BHS loading

• A range of cost-effective subscriber device solutions to meet the business case of any network

application

• MIMO Matrix B: This technique provides for the ability to double the throughput of a radio

transmission under proper RF conditions. Different data streams are transmitted

simultaneously on two different antennas.

• MIMO-A mode: This mode of operation has same modulation levels as the MIMO-B mode,

namely: QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM.

Chapter 1: Product description

Wireless operation

Page 1-12

Wireless operation

This section describes how the PMP/PTP 450(i) Series 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 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

2-37.

Figure 2 TDD frame division

Time

Chapter 1: Product description

Wireless operation

Page 1-13

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(i) series 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
sub-carriers 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, 10
and 20 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.

Frame Period

The frame period or frame duration is the time between the beginning of a frame and the end of
the frame. The PMP/PTP 450(i) Series supports two frame periods: 2.5 ms and 5 ms.

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 1-14

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 percent.

Link operation – Dynamic Rate Adapt

PMP/PTP 450(i) Series products 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 is less 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; normal operation can have a downlink running at 6x while the uplink RF
environment only supports 2x.

The various modulation levels used by the PMP/PTP 450(i) are shown in Table 7.

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 1-15

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 non-line-of-sight path.
The sub-features that comprises the MIMO techniques utilized in the PMP/PTP 450(i) product are:

• Matrix A: This technique enables the PMP/PTP 450(i) 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, at the cost of throughput.

• Matrix B: This technique provides for the ability to double the throughput of a radio

transmission under proper RF conditions. Different data streams are transmitted

simultaneously on two different antennas.

Encryption

The Cambium PMP/PTP 450(i) Series supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the
wireless link. The PTP 450(i) Series 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.

System management

This section introduces the PMP/PTP 450(i) management system, including the web interface,
installation, configuration, alerts and upgrades.

Management agent

PMP/PTP 450(i) Series equipment is managed through an embedded management agent.
Management workstations, network management systems or PCs can be connected to this agent

using the module’s Ethernet port or over-the air (SM/BHS)
The management agent supports the following interfaces:

• Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)

• Hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS)

• RADIUS authentication

• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) – v2c and v3

• Network time protocol (NTP)

• System logging (Syslog)

• Wireless Manager (WM) software

• Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT) software

Web server

The PMP/PTP 450(i) management agent contains a web server. The web server supports access via
the HTTP/HTTPS interface.

Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the PMP/PTP 450(i) equipment from a
locally connected computer or from a network management workstation connected through a
management network, without requiring any special management software. The web and SNMP
are the interfaces supported for installation of PMP/PTP 450(i) and for the majority of PMP/PTP
450(i) configuration management tasks.

• 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.

Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS)

The PMP 450(i) system includes support for RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service)
protocol functionality including:

• 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.

• 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. PMP/PTP 450(i) devices 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 1-19

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 re­registration. 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.

Canopy Network Updater Tool (CNUT)

CNUT (Canopy Network Updater Tool) is the stand-alone software update tool for PMP/PTP 450(i)
Series products. The CNUT 4.9.12 or greater should be used for 450(i) radios.

The Canopy Network Updater Tool has the following features:

• Automatically discovers all network elements

• HTTP and HTTPS

• Executes UDP command that initiates and terminates the Auto-update mode within APs/BHMs.

This command is both secure and convenient:

o For security, the AP/BHM accepts this command from only the IP address that specified in

the Configuration page of ODU.

o For convenience, Network Updater automatically sets this Configuration parameter in the

AP/BHM to the IP address of the Network Updater server when the server performs any of
the update commands.

• Allows you to choose among updating:

o Entire network.

o Only elements that you select.

o Only network branches that you select.

• Provides a Script Engine that you can use with any script which:

o The user can define.

o Cambium supplies.

CNUT is available at:

Radio recovery mode – Radio Recovery Console /
Default Mode (fka Default Plug)

PMP/PTP 450i

The PMP/PTP 450i recovery mode provides a means to recover from serious configuration errors
including lost or forgotten passwords and unknown IP addresses.

Recovery mode also allows new main application software to be loaded even when the integrity of
the existing main application software image has been compromised. The most likely cause of an
integrity problem with the installed main application software is where the power supply has been
interrupted during a software upgrade.

The recovery mode supports a single IPv4 interface, with IP address 169.254.1.1, and with default
link settings.

Note
When Recovery has been entered through a power on/off/on cycle, the ODU will revert

to normal operation if no web access has been made to the unit within 30 seconds.

Chapter 1: Product description

System management

Page 1-21

This prevents the unit remaining inadvertently in recovery following a power outage.

Recovery mode options

Options in recovery mode (IPv4 only) are as follows:

• Load a previous SW image

• Boot with default Canopy system software settings (similar to the hardware default plug on

previous Canopy-based PMP platforms)

The last most recent software image loaded to the board is retained. The factory image is not
retained.

Boot with default Canopy system software settings (similar to the hardware default plug on
previous Canopy-based PMP platforms).

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).

Operating Mode

• 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: The LNK/5 LED lit continuously when link is present.

• Data Transfer: The ACT/4 LED lit on the presence of data activity on the Ethernet link.

Aiming Mode

The 5 LEDs (SYN/1, SES/2, GPS/3, ACT/4 and LNK/5) are turned into a 5-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 9).

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 31). Other lengths of this
cable are available from Superior Essex.

GPS synchronization

GPS synchronization description

Cambium offers GPS synchronization to limit the network’s own self-interference. The Cluster
Management CMM provides Global Positioning System (GPS) synchronization to the Access Point
(AP) and all associated Subscriber Modules (SM). Network operators have a choice of UGPS and
CMM solutions to select the option that works best for the environment.

Universal GPS (UGPS)

The UGPS provides network synchronization for smaller networks where a CMM may not be cost
effective. The UGPS provides synchronization for one or two modules so that even remote areas at
the edge of the network can operate with synchronization for improved performance. The UGPS
works with all Cambium PMP radios. The UGPS has a small footprint and is easy to deploy.

Figure 13 UGPS

CMM4 (Rack

Mount)

The Cluster Management Module (CMM) is the heart of the Cambium system’s synchronization
capability, which allows network operators to reuse frequencies and add capacity while ensuring
consistency in the quality of service to customers.

For operators who prefer indoor CMM mounting, Cambium offers the Rack-Mounted Cluster
Management Module 4. The unit is designed to be mounted onto a standard 19-inch
telecommunications rack and to allow the Cambium CMM4 to be co-located with other
telecommunications equipment.

Chapter 2: System hardware

GPS synchronization

Page 2-38

Figure 14 CMM4 (Rack Mount)

The CMM4 has two DC power inputs, one 29 V and one 56V. It can be used to power and
synchronize both 29V legacy products such as PMP 450 and 56V products such as PMP 450i
simultaneously.

If the 29V legacy products are connected to the CMM4, a 29V power supply needs to be connected.
If PMP/PTP 450(i) are connected to a CMM4, it needs to be connected with an external 56V PSU".

The CMM4 supports having two of the 56V and two of the 24V supplies for redundancy.

Warning
PMP 450 and PMP 450i require different wiring between the CMM4 and device. If a

PMP450 is replaced by a PMP 450(i) and the existing drop cable needs to be re-used,
the adapter "CMM4 56V power adapter, #N000045L001A" must be used between the
CMM4 and the existing drop cable.

CMM4

(Cabinet

with

Designed to deliver consistent and reliable wireless broadband service, the PMP/PTP system
gracefully scales to support large deployments. The cluster management module is the heart of
the system’s synchronization capability which allows network operators to re-use frequencies and
add capacity while ensuring consistency in the quality of service to customers. As a result,
subscribers can experience carrier-grade service even at the outer edge of the network.

Figure 17 CMM4 (Cabinet with switch)

CMM4

(Cabinet

This CMM includes all of the functionality listed above but there is no switch. This provides the
network operator the flexibility to use the switch of their choice with the power and
synchronization capabilities of the CMM4.

CMM4/CMMmicro

The CMM3 or CMMmicro (Cluster Management Module micro) provides power, GPS timing, and
networking connections for an AP cluster. The CMM3 is configurable through a web interface.

Chapter 2: System hardware

GPS synchronization

Page 2-41

The CMM3 contains an 8-port managed switch that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) on each
port and connects any combination of APs, BHMs, BHSs, or Ethernet feed. The Cambium fixed
wireless broadband IP networks PoE

differs from

IEEE Standard 803.3af PoE, and the two should
not be intermixed. The CMM3 can auto-negotiate speed to match inputs that are either 100Base-TX
or 10Base-T, and either full duplex or half duplex, where the connected device is set to auto­negotiate. Alternatively, these parameters are settable.

A CMM3 requires only one cable, terminating in an RJ-45 connector, for each connected module to
distribute

• Ethernet signaling.

• power to as many as 8 co-located modules—APs, BHMs, or BHSs. Through a browser

interface to the managed switch, ports can be powered or not.

• sync to APs and BHMs. The CMM3 receives 1-pulse per second timing information from
Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites through an antenna (included) and passes the
timing pulse embedded in the 24-V power to the connected modules.

GPS status information is available at the CMM3, however

• CMM3 provides time and date information to BHMs and APs if both the CMMmicro is
operating on CMMmicro Release 2.1 or later and the AP/BHM is operating on System
Release 4.2 or later. See Error! Reference source not found. on Page Error!

Bookmark not defined..

• CMM3

does not

provide time and date information to BHMs and APs if either the CMM3 is
operating on a release earlier than CMMmicro Release 2.1 or the AP/BHM is operating on a
release earlier than System Release 4.2.
