General
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola could void the user’s authority to
operate the system.
NOTE: This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means
that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to comply. The
frequency band in which the system operates is ‘unlicensed’ (except from the 4.9 Ghz product) and
the system can be used provided it does not cause interference. Further, it is not guaranteed
protection against interference from other products and installations.

The system has basically been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a
1
Class B digital device
, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules in the USA as well as comparable
regulations in other countries. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to other equipment, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
• Increase the separation between the equipment and ODU.
• Connect the equipment into a power outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult your installer or supplier for help.
Deployment and Operation
The Radio Regulations of various countries’ limits constrain the operation of radio products generally.
In particular the local regulator may limit the amount of conducted or radiated transmitter power and
may require registration of the radio link.
The power transmitted by the PTP 400 Series is controlled by the use of Region-specific License
Keys.
The following examples show how the regulatory limits apply in some specific countries at the current
time. Operators should note that regulations are subject to change.
Contact your supplier/installer to ensure that your product is set for the correct License Key for your
Country/Region and to ensure that you have fulfilled all the local regulatory requirements, especially if
you are intending to use a link with external antennas. Footnotes to the table below indicate countries
where registration of the link is currently mandatory.

2 Avoiding Hazards
2.1 Preventing Overexposure to RF Energy
Caution To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install the radios for the PTP 400 family
of wireless solutions so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from all
persons as shown in
When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong RF
fields are present when the transmitter is on. The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must not be deployed
in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of the
antenna.
At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below
generally accepted limits for the general population.
2.1.1 Calculations for Separation Distances and Power Compliance Margins
Note: These are conservative distances that include compliance margins. In the case of the
reflector, the distance is even more conservative because the equation used models the
reflector as a point source and ignores its physical dimensions.
Limits and guidelines for RF exposure come from:
• US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at
and the policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, as well as the guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance in FCC
Table 3.
http://www.fcc.gov,
OET Bulletin 65.
• Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb and Safety Code 6.
• ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines for
the general public. See the ICNIRP web site at
Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.

3 Getting Started
3.1 For Your Safety
WARNING: Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.
WARNING: Use extreme care when working at heights.
WARNING: The Outdoor unit (ODU) for the PTP 400 Series Bridge must be properly
grounded to protect against lightning. It is the user’s responsibility to install the equipment in
accordance with Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or
Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes describe correct installation
procedures for grounding the ODU, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors and connection requirements for grounding electrodes. It is recommended that
installation of the ODU be contracted to a professional installer.
WARNING: The ODU for the PTP 400 Series Bridge MUST be grounded to a Protective
Earth as described in Section
in accordance with the Local Electrical Regulations.
WARNING: It is recommended that the supplied Power Indoor Plus (PIDU Plus) – PTP 400
Series is used to power the PTP 400 Series Bridge ODU. The use of other power sources
may invalidate safety approval and affect your warranty.
WARNING: When using alternate DC supplies (via the PIDU Plus DC in terminals as
described in Section
battery-backed DC power source, the supply MUST comply with the following requirements:
• The voltage and polarity is correct and is applied to the correct terminals in the PTP 400
Series Bridge PIDU Plus
• The power source is rated as SELV
• The power source is rated to supply at least 1A continuously, and
• The power source cannot provide more than the Energy Hazard Limit as defined by
IEC/EN/UL6090, Clause 2.5, Limited Power (The Energy Hazard Limit is 240VA)
CAUTION: When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna.
Strong RF fields are present when the transmitter is on. The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must not be
3.3.3 ”Redundancy and Alternate Powering Configurations”), such as
7.7.5 “Grounding the Installation” of this Installation Manual and
deployed in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of
the antenna.
CAUTION: Users and installers should note that in an emergency the mains power supply is
the primary disconnect device.
23
CAUTION: Safety will be compromised if external quality cables are not used for connections
that will be exposed to the weather.
CAUTION: Safety will be compromised if a different power supply is used than the one
supplied by Motorola as part of the system. This will also invalidate your warranty.

3.3 Product Description
This User Manual is specifically written for the PTP 400 Series of point-to-point broadband
wireless solutions. The PTP 400 Series Bridge has been developed to provide Point-to-Point
data connectivity via a 4.9 GHz, 5.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz wireless Ethernet bridge operating at
broadband data rates. The PTP 400 Series Bridge is aimed at a wide range of applications.
An example application is an enterprise that has a requirement to connect together the Local
Area Network (LAN) of two or more buildings as shown in
Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Typical PTP 400 Series Bridge Deployment
The PTP 400 Series Bridge offers true non-line-of-sight (NLOS) operation by using a
combination of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) modulation and Multiple-In
Multiple-Out (MIMO) techniques. These technologies enable the PTP 400 Series Bridge to
drive through foliage and around buildings to such an extent that almost universal coverage
can be expected at short range.
A PTP 400 Series Bridge system consists of a pair of identical devices that are deployed one
at each end of the link. At installation, the user sets up one unit as the Master and the other
as the Slave. Either unit can be configured as master or slave.
26
Each end of the link consists of:
• An integrated outdoor transceiver unit containing all the radio and networking electronics
hereafter referred to as the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
• An indoor connection box containing a mains power supply, status indicators and network
connection. Hereafter referred to as the Power Indoor Unit Plus (PIDU Plus).
• Units will normally be supplied pre-configured as a link.
Power is fed into the PIDU Plus from the mains via a standard “figure of eight” mains plug.
The network connection is presented to the user at the PIDU Plus via an RJ45 socket.
Connection between the ODU and PIDU Plus is made using standard shielded CAT5 UV
resistant cable. The spare twisted pairs of the cable are used to feed power from the PIDU
Plus to the ODU.
27
3.3.1 The Outdoor Unit (ODU)
The ODU (
Also shown in
single CAT 5 cable feeds the unit. Power is fed to the unit via the brown/brown white pair
connected to pins 7 and 8 and the blue/blue white pair connected to pins 4 and 5 of the RJ45
plugs and sockets employed. It should be noted that this powering arrangement is not
standard Power over Ethernet (PoE). The ODU for the PTP 400 Series Bridge should only be
deployed using the supplied PTP 400 Series Bridge Power Indoor Unit (PIDU Plus).
WARNING: All four power conductors MUST be connected.
Figure 2) is a self-contained unit. It houses both radio and networking electronics.
