Safety and Regulatory
Using the correct power supply
Always use the Motorola Power over Ethernet injector unit (PoE power supply) or
Powered Indoor Unit (PIDU Plus) to power the ODU. Failure to use the correct power
supply could result in equipment damage and will invalidate the safety certification
and may cause a safety hazard.
Alternative DC supply
If the PTP 250 is to be powered from a DC supply (either as the primary power source
or as a backup to the AC supply), the DC supply must be input to the ODU via a PIDU
(not a PoE power supply). The DC supply must be connected to the PIDU DC IN
terminals. The DC supply must comply with the following requirements:
xThe voltage and polarity is correct and is applied to the correct terminals in the
PIDU.
xThe power source is rated as Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV).
xThe power source is rated to supply at least 1 A continuously.
xThe power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined
by IEC/EN/UL60950-1, Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is
240VA).
Powering down before servicing
Always power down and unplug the equipment before servicing.
Lightning protection unit (LPU)
Do not remove the LPU printed circuit board when the LPU is connected to the power
supply, as high voltages are present.
Non-Motorola power supply
Safety may be compromised if a different power supply is used than the one supplied
by Motorola as part of the system.
II
phn-2182_002v000
May 2011
Page 5
Drop cable tester
The drop cable tester must NEVER be used at the ODU end connected to power from
the PoE power supply. It must only be used at the bottom of the mast with a
multimeter. This is because the PoE power supply voltage exceeds the limit allowed in
some countries for safe handling in wet conditions and therefore may create a safety
hazard.
Primary disconnect device
The main power supply is the primary disconnect device.
External cables
Safety may be compromised if outdoor rated cables are not used for connections that
will be exposed to the outdoor environment.
Safety and Regulatory
RF exposure near the antenna
Strong radio frequency (RF) fields will be present close to the antenna when the
transmitter is on. Always turn off the power to the ODU before undertaking
maintenance activities in front of the antenna.
Minimum separation distances
Install the ODUs so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from
all persons.
The minimum separation distances for each frequency variant are specified in
Calculated distances and power compliance margins on page
4-25.

Safety and Regulatory
Important regulatory information
Operation of the PTP 250 product involves its use 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 some countries radar systems are the primary users and the regulators have
devised special requirements to protect their operation from interference caused by
unlicensed devices. The unlicensed devices are required to detect the presence of
radar systems and avoid co-channel operation with the radar systems.
The PTP 250 system provides detection and avoidance functionality for countries and
frequency bands requiring protection for radar systems.
Installers and users are reminded that they must follow local regulations with regard
to any requirements for radar detection as well as transmitted power level. This can
be achieved by using the correct country code for the product concerned. Failure to
follow this could leave the installer and/or user liable to civil and/or criminal penalties.

Overview of the PTP 250 Chapter 1 Product description
Overview of the PTP 250
This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants and
components of the PTP 250.
Purpose
Motorola PTP 250 products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-to-point
microwave links in the unlicensed bands 5.4 GHz (ETSI Band B) and 5.8 GHz (ETSI
Band C and FCC ISM band). Users must ensure that the links comply with local
operating regulations.
The PTP 250 is used to create a transparent bridge between two segments of the
operator’s network. This bridge can be treated as a virtual wired connection between
two points.
Key features
The key features of the PTP 250 include:
xOrthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation and Multiple-
Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques.
xWireless connections of up to 54 km (34 miles) in near line-of-sight conditions.
xHigh link availability, through the use of adaptive modulation techniques that
dynamically reduce the data rate in severe or adverse conditions.
xHigh-sensitivity antennas for improved signal recovery.
xA built-in web server for advanced management capabilities including detailed
radio signal diagnosis.
xPassword control and encryption.
Benefit of the chosen bands
The products operate in bands that offer the dual benefits of high data throughput and
good radio propagation characteristics. The wide band of spectrum available is
subdivided into several channels such that multiple systems can operate in the vicinity
without causing interference to one another.

PTP 250 User Guide Overview of the PTP 250
802.11n device
PTP250 uses 802.11n encoding and radio transmission. In areas where the PTP 250
co-exists with 802.11a and 802.11n devices, the PTP 250 detects the 802.11a and
802.11n radio signals and chooses a clear channel away from any interference.
Avoiding interference from nearby devices
At initialization, the products monitor the available frequency channels to find a
channel that is clear of interference.
Typical deployment
The PTP 250 bridge consists of a pair of identical units, one deployed at each end of
the link. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel. One unit is configured
as a master and the other as a slave. The master unit takes responsibility for
controlling the link in both directions.
The bridge is aimed at a wide range of applications. One example is an enterprise that
needs to connect together the Local Area Network (LAN) of two or more buildings as
shown in Figure 1-1.

Cabling and lightning protection
This section describes the cabling and lightning protection components of PTP 250
installations.
PTP and lightning protection
The PoE power supply meets the low level static discharge specifications identified in
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance on
lightning or surge suppression.
The amount of lightning protection is dependent on regulatory and end user
requirements. The standard ODU is fitted with surge limiting circuits and other
features to minimize the risk of damage due to nearby lightning strikes. To be fully
effective, these standard features require some additional equipment to be configured
as part of the system installation.

PTP 250 User Guide Wireless operation
Wireless operation
This section describes how PTP 250 wireless links are operated, including modulation
modes, power control and security.
Wireless Transmissions
The PTP 250 uses Time Division Duplexing (TDD) transmission, which means that a
single frequency channel is used for both Transmit and Receive. This is handled
automatically by the radio.
The PTP 250 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 all the sub-carriers is high.
The channel width of the OFDM signal is configurable to one of two values: 20 MHz or
40 MHz. The higher channel width provides greater link capacity at the expense of
using more spectrum. The lower channel width provides better receiver sensitivity and
can also be appropriate where the amount of free spectrum is limited.
Each channel is offset in center frequency from its neighboring channel by 20 MHz.
Spectrum management
At system start-up, the spectrum management feature of the PTP 250 monitors the
available wireless spectrum and directs both ends of the wireless link to operate on a
channel with a minimum level of co-channel and adjacent channel interference.
Alternatively, the user can specify a single channel to use (or several to be chosen
from) at the master unit.
Adaptive modulation
The PTP 250 can transport data over the wireless link using different modulation
modes. For a given channel width, each modulation mode transports data at a fixed
rate. Also, the receiver requires a given signal to noise ratio in order to successfully
demodulate a given modulation mode. Although the more complex modulations will
transport data at a much higher rate than the less complex modulation modes, the
receiver requires a much higher signal to noise ratio.
phn-2182_002v000
May 2011
1-17
Page 48
Wireless operation Chapter 1 Product description
The system provides an adaptive modulation scheme where the receiver constantly
monitors the quality of the received signal and notifies the far end of the link of the
optimum modulation mode with which to transmit. In this way, optimum capacity is
achieved at all times.
MIMO
NOTE
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading
and increase the probability that the receiver will decode 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.
The PTP 250 transmits two signals on the same radio frequency, one of which is
vertically polarized and the other horizontally polarized. The system also has the
ability to adapt between two modes of operation:
xDual Payload: When the radio channel conditions allow, the system will transmit

the horizontal channel. This doubles the capacity of the system.
the ability to detect this and switch to a mode which transmits the same data
stream on both vertical and horizontal channels. This provides polar diversity and
is another key feature which allows the system to operate in challenging radio
channels.
The switching between modes is automatically controlled by the adaptive modulation
feature described in Adaptive modulation on

Radar avoidance
In regions where protection of radars is part of the local regulations, the PTP 250 must
detect interference from radar-like systems and avoid co-channel operation with these
systems.
To meet this requirement, the PTP 250 implements the following features:
ETSI regulations
The regulations have radar detection requirements for both master and slave devices.
The requirements for a master device are:
xThe device can only transmit on available channels, of which there are none at
initial power up. The radar detection algorithm will always scan a usable channel
for 60 seconds (channel availability check) for radar interference before making
the channel an available channel.
xAs a result of this compulsory channel scan, there is a service outage of at least
60 seconds every time radar is detected, and the installation time is extended by
at least 60 seconds even if no radar is detected on the channel.
xWhen operating on a channel, the spectrum monitoring algorithm implements a
radar detection function (in-service monitoring) which looks for impulsive
interference on the operating channel. If impulsive interference is detected,
spectrum management will mark the current operating channel as having
detected radar (unavailable channel) and initiate a channel hop to an available
channel. The previous operating channel will remain in the unavailable state for
30 minutes after the impulsive interference pulse was detected.
xAfter the 30 minutes have expired the channel will be returned to the usable
channel
xThere is a secondary requirement for bands requiring radar avoidance.
Regulators have mandated that products provide an approximately even loading
of the spectrum across all devices. In general, this prevents operation with fixed
frequency allocations. However, ETSI regulations do allow frequency planning of
networks (as that has the effect of spreading the load across the spectrum).
NOTE
pool.
The Master device will not initiate any transmissions on channels which
overlap the band 5600-5650 MHz as the radar detection requirements are
more severe.
phn-2182_002v000
May 2011
1-19
Page 50
Wireless operation Chapter 1 Product description
The requirements for a slave device are:
xThe slave device can only transmit after receiving a transmission from its
associated master to demonstrate that the channel is an available channel.
xThe slave device is required to vacate the channel when the master device has
detected a radar signal.
xThe slave device is also required to perform in-service monitoring
transmitting on a channel having detected a radar signal (having informed the
master device) and will not re-use the channel for thirty minutes.
xOnce the slave device has detected a radar on a channel, it will perform a
channel availability check
xThe slave device is also required to perform Channel Availability Check (CAC)
measurements before responding to a master transmission, but this requirement
only applies after the slave has detected a radar signal on the channel.
Security
The PTP 250 supports 48-bit proprietary encryption for data transmitted over the
wireless link.

Some aspects of wireless operation are controlled, enforced or restricted according to
country of operation.

NOTE
Equipment supplied to the USA can ONLY be set to operate with a Country
Code which is fully compatible with FCC Rules.
Using frequency planning
Networks will benefit from the use of fixed channel allocations if (a) the network
consists of multiple PTP links, and (b) RF interference predominantly arises from
equipment in the same network.
Frequency planning is the exercise of assigning operating channels to PTP units so as
to minimize RF interference between links. Frequency planning must consider
interference from any PTP unit to any other PTP unit in the network. Low levels of
interference normally allow for stable operation and high link capacity.
The frequency planning task is made more straightforward by use of the following
techniques:
xUsing several different channels
xSeparating units located on the same mast
xUsing high performance (directional) external antennas

Ethernet bridging
This section describes how the PTP 250 controls Ethernet data in the customer and
management networks.
Customer network
Transparent Ethernet service
The PTP 250 provides an Ethernet service between the Ethernet port at a local ODU
and the Ethernet port at an associated remote ODU. 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 service is transparent to untagged frames, standard VLAN frames, priority-tagged
frames, provider bridged frames, and provider backbone bridged frames. In each case,
the service preserves MAC addresses, VLAN ID, Ethernet priority and Ethernet
payload in the forwarded frame. The maximum frame size for bridged frames is
2000 octets.
Layer two control protocols
The PTP 250 is transparent to layer two control protocols (L2CP) including:
xSpanning tree protocol (STP), rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP)
xMultiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP)
xLink aggregation control protocol (LACP)
xLink OAM, IEEE 802.3ah
xPort authentication, IEEE 802.1X
xEthernet local management interface (E-LMI), ITU-T Q.933.
xLink layer discovery protocol (LLDP)
xMultiple registration protocol (MRP)
xGeneric attribute registration protocol (GARP)
The system does not generate or respond to any L2CP traffic.

Management network
IP interface
The PTP 250 ODU 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 factory default IP
address of the management agent is 169.254.1.1. The products do not require use of
supplementary serial interfaces.
MAC address
The MAC address is not configurable by the user.
VLAN membership
VLAN tagging is not supported for the management agent.
In-band management
In-band management is the only management mode offered (there is no out of band
management).
In the in-band management mode, the management agent can be reached from the
Ethernet port at the local ODU, and (assuming that the wireless link is established) the
Ethernet port at the remote ODU.
Wireless link down alert
PTP 250 offers a configurable email alert which can be set to send the user an email
message in the event of the wireless link going down.
Back-to-back links
PTP 250 will not operate correctly if a direct cabled connection is made between two
PoE power supply units. Where two or more links are deployed in a chain, always use
an Ethernet switch or router to interconnect the links at the relay points.

Available spectrum
Ensure the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements.
The available spectrum for operation depends on the country of operation:
xThe 5.4 GHz band is available in all EU countries.
xThe 5.8 GHz band is currently only available in a limited number of EU countries
(UK, Eire, Norway, Denmark, Germany and Spain).
Certain regulations have allocated certain channels as unavailable for use:
xEurope has allocated part of the 5.4 GHz band to weather radar.
xThe UK and some other European countries have allocated part of the 5.8 GHz
band to Road Transport and Traffic Telematics (RTTT) systems.
For examples of these restrictions, refer to Examples of regulatory limits on

automatically by the use of the correct country setting. For example, at 5.8 GHz in the
UK and some other European countries, the RTTT band 5795 MHz to 5815 MHz is
barred. With the appropriate configuration for a country in this region, the PTP 250
will not operate on channels within this band.
The number and identity of channels barred by the country selection is dependent on
the channel width selected.

Frequency selection
The PTP 250 fully conforms to regional regulatory requirements for radar avoidance.
In regions that mandate DFS, the unit first ensures that there is no radar activity on a
given channel for a period of 60 seconds before radiating on that channel. Once a
channel has been selected for operation, the unit will continually monitor for radar
activity on the operating channel. If detected, it will immediately cease radiating and
attempt to find a new channel.
Radar avoidance requirements in the 5.4 GHz band are defined as follows:
xFor the EU: in specification EN 301-893 version V1.5.1.
Radar avoidance at 5.8 GHz is applicable to EU operation (not FCC/IC) and the
requirements are defined in EN 302 502.
Channel width
Select the required channel width for the link (20 MHz or 40 MHz). The wider channel
has the greater the capacity. As narrower channel widths take up less spectrum,
selecting a narrow channel width may be a better choice when operating in locations
where the spectrum is very busy.

Wind loading
Ensure that the supporting structure will not be prone to excessive wind loading.
Antennas and equipment mounted on towers or buildings will subject the mounting
structure to significant lateral forces when there is appreciable wind. Antennas are
normally specified by the amount of force (in pounds) for specific wind strengths. The
magnitude of the force depends on both the wind strength and size of the antenna.
The ODU, with or without the integral antenna, is essentially a flat structure. The
magnitude of the lateral force can be estimated from surface area and wind speed.
Calculation of lateral force (metric)
The magnitude of the lateral force can be estimated from:

This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning links, such as
range, obstacles and path loss. PTP LINKPlanner is recommended.
Range and obstacles
Calculate the range of the link and identify any obstacles that may affect radio
performance.
Perform a survey to identify all the obstructions (such as trees or buildings) in the path
and to assess the risk of interference. This information is necessary in order to achieve
an accurate link feasibility assessment.
NOTE
When higher gain connectorized antennas are used, reduce the transmit
power to ensure that the receiver signal level does not exceed -20 dBm.
PTP LINKPlanner
The Motorola PTP LINKPlanner software and user guide may be downloaded from
http://www.motorola.com/ptp/support.
PTP LINKPlanner imports path profiles and predicts data rates and reliability over the
path. It allows the system designer to try different antenna heights and RF power
settings. It outputs an installation report that defines the parameters to be used for
configuration, alignment and operation. The installation report can be used to compare
the predicted and actual performance of the link.

When to install connectorized units
The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the integrated PTP 250.
However the integrated units may not be sufficient in some areas, for example:
xWhere the path is heavily obscured by dense woodland on an NLOS link.
xWhere long LOS links (>23 km or >14 miles) are required.
xWhere there are known to be high levels of interference.
PTP LINKPlanner can be used to identify these areas of marginal performance.
In these areas, connectorized ODUs and external antennas should be used.
The external antennas can be either dual-polarization (as the integrated antenna) or
two single polarized antennas can be used in a spatially diverse configuration. It is
expected that the dual-polarization antennas would normally be used to simplify the
installation process; spatially diverse antennas may provide additional fade margin on
very long LOS links where there is evidence of correlation of the fading characteristics
on Vertical and Horizontal polarizations.

PTP 250 User Guide Grounding and lightning protection
Grounding and lightning protection
Structures, equipment and people must be protected against power surges (typically
caused by lightning) by conducting the surge current to ground via a separate
preferential solid path.
The actual degree of protection required depends on local conditions and applicable
local regulations.
Motorola recommends that PTP 250 installation is contracted to a professional
installer.
WARNING
Electro-magnetic discharge (lightning) damage is not covered under
warranty. The recommendations in this guide, when followed
correctly, give the user the best protection from the harmful effects
of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor possible.
Standards
Full details of lightning protection methods and requirements can be found in the
international standards IEC 61024-1 and IEC 61312-1, the U.S. National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 or section 54 of the Canadian Electric Code.
Lightning protection zones
The ‘rolling sphere method’ (Figure 2-1) is used to determine where it is safe to mount
equipment. An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the
structure. Where the sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device
(such as a finial or ground bar), all the space under the sphere is considered to be in
the zone of protection (Zone B). Similarly, where the sphere rests on two finials, the
space under the sphere is considered to be in the zone of protection.

Grounding and lightning protection Chapter 2 Planning considerations
Figure 2-1 Rolling sphere method to determine the lightning protection zones
Assess locations on masts, towers and buildings to determine if the location is in Zone
A or Zone B:
xZone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment
in this zone.
xZone B: In this zone, direct EMD (lightning) effects are still possible, but
mounting in this zone significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike.
Mount equipment in this zone.
WARNING
Never mount equipment in Zone A. Mounting in Zone A may put
equipment, structures and life at risk.

PTP 250 User Guide Data network planning
Data network planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning PTP 250 data networks.
IP interface
Choose an IP address for the IP interface of the ODU management agent. The IP
address must be unique and valid for the connected network segment.
Ensure that the design of the data network permits bi-directional routing of IP
datagrams between network management systems and the ODUs. For example, ensure
that the gateway IP address identifies a router or other gateway that provides access
to the rest of the data network.
Back to back links
Do not use direct cabled connections between the data ports of two PoE power
supplies. Where two or more links are deployed in a chain, always use an Ethernet
switch or router to interconnect the links at a relay point.
‘Green Ethernet’ switches
Do not connect PTP 250 units to Ethernet networking products that control the level of
the transmitted Ethernet signal based on the measured length of the Ethernet link, for
example Green Ethernet products manufactured by D-Link Corporation. The Ethernet
interfaces in these networking products do not work correctly when connected directly
to the PoE power supply.
