About This User Guide Important regulatory information
The PTP 550 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).
Page 3
About This User Guide Important regulatory information
In order to comply with these IC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the PTP 550 for
operation in Canada. 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 PTP 550 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.
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 PTP 550
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 MHz à 5650 MHz est interdite et ces canaux sont définitivement
exclus.
EU Declaration of Conformity
Hereby, Cambium Networks declares that the Cambium PTP 550 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:

About This User Guide Important regulatory information
External antennas
When using a connectorized version of the product (as compared to the version with an
integrated antenna), 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 ranges 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.
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 550 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 550 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.

Chapter 1: Product description Overview of the PTP 550 Series
This section introduces the key features, typical uses, product variants and components of the
PTP 550 series.
Purpose
Cambium PTP 550 products are designed for Ethernet bridging over point-to-point links in the
unlicensed 5 GHz frequency band. Users must ensure that the PTP 550 Series complies with
local operating regulations.
The PTP 550 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 550
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.
Key features
PTP 550 is a rugged high-capacity outdoor point-to point link
wireless device in the unlicensed 5 GHz frequency bands with a
maximum UDP throughput of 1.4 Gbps (when operating with
160 MHz maximum aggregate bandwidth). It is capable of
operating in line-of-sight (LOS) and near-LOS conditions. Its
maximum LOS range is 122 miles (200 km). PTP 550 is
available as an integrated unit with a dual-polarized 23 dBi flat-
plate antenna, and as a connectorized unit for use with a
separate dual-polarized antenna. One point-to-point link
consists of two PTP 550 devices.
PTP 550 supports asymmetric dual-channel operation, with
channel sizes of 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz in each channel.
The maximum aggregate bandwidth is 160 MHz (two 80 MHz
channels). Each channel supports 2 x 2 MIMO operation with
polarization multiplexing or polarization diversity, resulting in a
form of 4 x 4 MIMO. Dual-channel operation use non-
contiguous channels, and the channels can be in the same
regulatory band or different regulatory bands. Channel
bandwidth can be selected independently in the two channels
and adaptive modulation also acts independently.
PTP 550 is based on highly-integrated wireless semiconductor components designed to meet
the IEEE 802.11ac standard, however the PTP 550 device has a proprietary air interface for the
main point-to-point link.
PTP 550 is powered by standard power-over-Ethernet to a 1000Base-T port. The unit
additionally has an SFP port for optional addition of a fiber or copper SFP module.
Management of the unit is conducted via the same interface as the bridged traffic (in-band
Management).

Wireless operation
This section describes how the PTP 550 wireless link is operated, including modulation modes,
power control and security.
Channel Bonding
PTP 550 features three radio interfaces – two radios are used for data transfer and one radio is
used for a real time spectrum analyzer and Dynamic Channel Selection (supported in a future
release).
The data transfer radios operate:
• In the 5 GHz band
• On separate, non-overlapping channels
• With the same or different channel bandwidths. For example, one radio may operate
with a 20 MHz channel size and one radio may operate with an 80 MHz channel size.
The PTP 550 device automatically “bonds” the data traffic on the two radio interfaces to
support high data transfer rates.

Link Scheduler
The PTP 550 series provides three configuration options for apportioning the available capacity
between the two link directions.
• 75/25 – The capacity in the direction Master to Slave comprises 75% of available TDD
frame, and the capacity in the direction of Slave to Master comprises 25% of available TDD
frame.
• 50/50 (Symmetric) - The capacity in the direction Master to Slave comprises 50% of
available TDD frame, and the capacity in the direction of Slave to Master comprises 50% of
available TDD frame.
• 30/70 – The capacity in the direction Master to Slave comprises 30% of available TDD
frame, and the capacity in the direction of Slave to Master comprises 70% of available TDD
frame.
Note
The Channel Bandwidth must be configured to the same value at both ends of the link
for each channel. Not all channel bandwidths are available in all regulatory bands.

Page 1-10
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Adaptive modulation
The PTP 550 can transport data over the wireless link using a number of different modulation
modes ranging from 256-QAM to QPSK (selected independently between the two channels of
operation). For a given channel bandwidth and TDD frame structure, 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 such as 256-QAM will transport data at a much higher rate than the less complex
modulation modes, the receiver requires a much higher signal to noise ratio.
The PTP 550 provides an adaptive modulation scheme (on each channel in dual-channel
operation) where the receiver constantly monitors the quality of the received signal and
notifies the sender of the success of received packets such that the sender can select the
optimum modulation mode with which to transmit. In this way, optimum capacity is achieved
at all times.
Note
LINKPlanner includes an estimate of mean data rate, the data rate provided by each
modulation and the percentage of time spent in each modulation mode.
MIMO
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 over a non-line-of-sight path.
For each independent radio the PTP 550 transmits two signals on the same radio frequency,
one of which is vertically polarized and the other horizontally polarized. Depending on the
channel conditions, the PTP 550 will adapt between two modes of operation:
• Dual Payload: When the radio channel conditions allow, the PTP 550 will transmit two
different and parallel data streams, one on the vertical channel and one on the horizontal
channel. This doubles the capacity of the PTP 550.
• Single Payload: As the radio channel becomes more challenging, the PTP 550 has the
ability to detect this and switch to a mode which transmits the same data stream on both
vertical and horizontal channels. This provides polarity diversity and is another key feature
which allows the PTP 550 to operate in challenging non- line of sight radio channels.
Page 1-11
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
Note
The system automatically chooses between dual and single payload to try to increase
the capacity of a link.

For information about… Refer to…
Single and dual payload modulation modes System threshold on page 3-36
Encryption
The PTP 550 supports optional encryption for data transmitted over the wireless link. The
encryption algorithm used is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit key size.
AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm approved by U.S. Government organizations (and
others) to protect sensitive information.

For information about… Refer to…
Regulatory bands
The PTP 550 provides the ability to choose the country of operation for the ODU, and lists the
regulatory bands that are licensed by regulators in that country. Please note that some SKUs
limit countries of selection. FCC limits country selection to United States and IC limits country
selection to Canada. If a country provides access to more than one regulatory band, PTP 550
provides a choice between the available bands. In each regulatory band, PTP 550 sets the
following aspects of wireless operation to comply with the applicable regulations (based on
regional variant and configuration of the Country parameter):
• Maximum transmit power
• Radar avoidance
• Transmit power reduction in edge channels
• Frequency range
• Channel plan
Page 1-12
Chapter 1: Product description Wireless operation
o For sub-band 5.8 GHz, the maximum configurable transmit power of each radio is
reduced by 6 dBm
• If the configured channel on either radio spans two neighboring sub-bands, then the
maximum configurable transmit power of each radio complies to the most conservative
sub-band.
• If the two radios are configured in non-neighboring sub-bands, then the maximum
configurable transmit power on one or both radios may be reduced to reduce interference.
Caution
To avoid possible enforcement action by the country regulator, always operate links in
accordance with local regulations.

PTP networks
Using frequency planning
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 as well as any other RF device located near
the PTP link. 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:
• Using several different channels
• Separating units located on the same mast
• Using high performance (directional) external antennas
Page 1-13
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Ethernet bridging
This section describes how the PTP 550 processes Ethernet data.
Ethernet ports
The PTP 550 Series ODU has two Ethernet ports:
• Main PSU: The Main PSU port provides a copper Ethernet interface for 100BASE-TX and
1000BASE-T, and accepts power from the AC Power Injector to the ODU (802.3at).
• SFP: The SFP port is a small format pluggable receptacle accepting copper or optical plug-
in modules supplied as part of the SFP module kit.
Data network
Transparent Ethernet service
The PTP 550 Series provides an Ethernet service between one of the Ethernet ports at a local
ODU and one of the Ethernet ports at an associated remote ODU.
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 in the customer network is 1538 bytes.
Protocol model
Ethernet bridging behavior at each end of the wireless link is equivalent to a two-port,
managed, transparent MAC bridge.
Page 1-14
Chapter 1: Product description Ethernet bridging
Frames are transmitted at the Wireless port over a proprietary point-to-point circuit-mode link
layer between ends of the PTP 550 link.
Ethernet frames received at the Ethernet ports, or generated internally within the management
agent, are encapsulated within a lightweight MAC layer for transmission over the wireless link.
Page 1-15
Chapter 1: Product description System management
System management
This section introduces the PTP 550 management system, including the web interface,
installation, configuration, alerts and upgrades.
Management agent
PTP 550 equipment is managed through an embedded management agent. Management
workstations, network management systems or PCs can be connected to this agent using an in-
band network management mode. These modes are described in detail in Network
management on page 1-17.
The management agent includes a dual IPv4/IPv6 interface at the management agent. The IP
interface operates in the following modes:
• IPv4 only (default)
• IPv6 only
• Dual IPv4/IPv6
In the dual IPv4/IPv6 mode, the IP interface is configured with an IPv4 address and an IPv6
address and can operate using both IP versions concurrently. This dual mode of operation is
useful when a network is evolving from IPv4 to IPv6.
The management agent supports the following application layer protocols (regardless of the
management agent IP mode):
• Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
• HTTP over transport layer security (HTTPS/TLS) TELNET
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP)
• Network time protocol (NTP)
• System logging (syslog)
Page 1-16
Chapter 1: Product description System management
Network management
IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces
The PTP 550 ODU contains an embedded management agent with IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces.
Network management communication is exclusively based on IP and associated higher layer
transport and application protocols. The default IPv4 address of the management agent is
169.254.1.1. There is no default IPv6 address. The PTP 550 does not require use of
supplementary serial interfaces.
MAC address
The management agent end-station MAC address is recorded on the enclosure and is
displayed on the Status web page. The MAC address is not configurable by the user.
Managemnet VLAN
The device management interface can be assigned to a Management VLAN to separate
management traffic (device management via SNMP or HTTP) from user traffic.
Web server
The PTP 550 management agent contains a web server. The web server supports the HTTP and
HTTPS/TLS interfaces.
Web-based management offers a convenient way to manage the PTP 550 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-based
interfaces are the only interfaces supported for installation of PTP 550.
Web pages
The web-based management interfaces provide comprehensive web-based fault, configuration,
performance and security management functions organized into the following web-pages and
groups:
• Status: The Status web-page reports the detailed status of the PTP 550.
• Installation: The Installation web-page is used to monitor installation-specific configuration
and status parameters.
Page 1-17
Chapter 1: Product description System management
• Configuration: These web-pages are used to configure the radio, system, network, and
security parameters.
• Monitor: The Monitor web-page provides detailed reports of system performance and
configured parameters, a throughput chart, and a system log.
• Tools: The tools webpage includes software to aid in software upgrade, backup/restore,
spectrum analysis, alignment, link testing, and networking testing.

Software upgrade
The management agent supports application software upgrade using either the web-based
interface, the SNMP interface, or cnMaestro management software.
PTP 550 software images are digitally signed, and the ODU will accept only images that contain
a valid Cambium Networks digital signature. The ODU always requires a reboot to complete a
software upgrade.
Note
Obtain the application software and this user guide from the support website BEFORE
warranty expires.
Caution
ODU software version must be the same at both ends of the link. Limited operation
may sometimes be possible with dissimilar software versions, but such operation is
not supported by Cambium Networks.
Caution
Take care when upgrading ODU software using the wireless link to a remote ODU.
Upgrade the remote unit first, reboot the remote ODU, and then upgrade the local
unit to the same software version.

Antenna requirements
Each connectorized ODU requires one external antenna (normally dual-polar). These antennas
are not supplied by Cambium Networks.
Note
To determine when to install connectorized units and to calculate their impact on link
performance and regulatory limits, see Planning for connectorized units on page 3-31.
Note
To select the correct connectors for the antenna end of the RF cable, refer to the
antenna manufacturer’s instructions.
Antenna accessories
Connectorized ODUs require the following additional components:
• Self-amalgamating and PVC tape: Order these items to weatherproof the RF connectors.
• Lightning arrestors: When the connectorized ODU is mounted indoors, lightning arrestors
are required for protecting the antenna RF cables at building entry. One arrestor is required
per antenna cable. One example of a compatible lightning arrestor is the Polyphaser LSXL-
ME or LSXL (not supplied by Cambium Networks).

this cable are available from Superior Essex.
Page 2-14
Chapter 2: System hardware Ethernet cabling
Caution
To provide adequate protection, all grounding cables must be a minimum size of 10
mm2 csa (8AWG), preferably 16 mm2 csa (6AWG), or 25 mm2 csa (4AWG).
Page 2-15
Chapter 2: System hardware Ethernet cabling
Note
The RJ45 connectors and crimp tool listed in Table 25 work with Superior Essex type
BBDGe cable (as supplied by Cambium Networks). They may not work with other
types of cable.
The ODU is supplied with one environmental sealing gland for the drop cable. However, this is
not suitable when surge protection is required: EMC glands must be used instead. If extra
glands are required, order them from Cambium Networks (in packs of 10) (Table 25).
One long EMC strain relief gland (Figure 16) is included in each SFP module kit. This is longer
than the standard cable gland as it must house an SFP module plugged into the ODU.

Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Site planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning the proposed link end sites,
including grounding, lightning protection and equipment location for the ODU and PSU.
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. To adequately protect a PTP 550 installation, both ground bonding and transient
voltage surge suppression are required.
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.
Note
International and national standards take precedence over the requirements in this
guide.
Page 3-21
Chapter 3: System planning Site planning
Zone A: In this zone a direct lightning strike is possible. Do not mount equipment in this zone.
Zone 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.

If an external antenna is installed, add the wind loading of the antenna to that of the ODU. The
antenna manufacturer should be able to quote wind loading.
PSU location
Find a location for the PSU that meets the following requirements:
• The AC Power Injector can be mounted on a flat surface.
• The PSU is kept dry, with no possibility of condensation, flooding or rising damp.
• The PSU is located in an environment where it is not likely to exceed its operational
temperature rating, allowing for natural convection cooling.
• The PSU can be connected to the ODU drop cable and network terminating equipment.
• The PSU can be connected to a compatible power supply.
Page 3-24

• The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at its top entry
point (usually on the roof).
• The drop cable shield must be bonded to the building grounding system at the entry point
to the equipment room.

Chapter 3: System planning Radio spectrum planning
This section describes how to plan PTP 550 links to conform to the regulatory restrictions that
apply in the country of operation.
Caution
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the PTP product is operated in
accordance with local regulatory limits.
Note
Contact the applicable radio regulator to find out whether or not registration of the
PTP 550 link is required.
Item Specification
Manual power control To avoid interference to other users of the band, maximum
power can be set lower than the default power limit.

(MHz)
Antenna beamwidth 8° 8° 8° 8°
(integrated)
Regulatory limits
Many countries impose EIRP limits (Allowed EIRP) on products operating in the bands used by
the PTP 550 Series. For example, in the 5.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands, these limits are calculated
as follows:
• In the 5.4 GHz band (5470 MHz to 5725 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 30
dBm or (17 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm.
• In the 5.8 GHz band (5725 MHz to 5875 MHz), the EIRP must not exceed the lesser of 36
dBm or (23 + 10 x Log Channel width in MHz) dBm.
Some countries (for example the USA) impose conducted power limits on products operating
in the 5.8 GHz band.
Available spectrum
The available spectrum for operation depends on the regulatory band. When configured with
the appropriate license key, the unit will only allow operation on those channels which are
permitted by the regulations.
Certain regulations have allocated certain channels as unavailable for use:
• ETSI has allocated part of the 5.4 GHz band to weather radar.
Page 3-27
Chapter 3: System planning Radio spectrum planning
The number and identity of channels barred by the license key and regulatory band is
dependent on the channel bandwidth and channel raster selected.
Channel bandwidth
Select the required channel bandwidth for the link. The selection depends upon the regulatory
band selected.
The wider the channel bandwidth, the greater the capacity. As narrower channel bandwidths
take up less spectrum, selecting a narrow channel bandwidth may be a better choice when
operating in locations where the spectrum is very busy.
Page 3-28
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Link planning
This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning links, such as range,
obstacles path loss and throughput. LINKPlanner is recommended.
LINKPlanner
The Cambium LINKPlanner software and user guide may be downloaded from the support
website (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 1).
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. Use the installation report to compare predicted and actual link performance.
Path loss
Path loss is the amount of attenuation the radio signal undergoes between the two ends of the
link. The path loss is the sum of the attenuation of the path if there were no obstacles in the
way (Free Space Path Loss), the attenuation caused by obstacles (Excess Path Loss) and a
margin to allow for possible fading of the radio signal (Fade Margin). The following calculation
needs to be performed to judge whether a particular link can be installed:
L free _ space + Lexcess + L fade + Lseasonal < Lcapability
Where: Is:
Page 3-29
Chapter 3: System planning Link planning
Adaptive modulation
Adaptive modulation ensures that the highest throughput that can be achieved instantaneously
will be obtained, taking account of propagation and interference. When the link has been
installed, web pages provide information about the link loss currently measured by the
equipment, both instantaneously and averaged. The averaged value will require maximum
seasonal fading to be added, and then the radio reliability of the link can be computed.
For details of the system threshold, output power and link loss for each frequency band in all
modulation modes for all available channel bandwidths, refer to System threshold on page 3-
36.
Page 3-30
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units
This section describes factors to be taken into account when planning to use connectorized
ODUs with external antennas in PTP 550 links.
Note
Enter the antenna gain and cable loss into the Installation Wizard, if the country
selected has an EIRP limit, the corresponding maximum transmit power will be
calculated automatically by the unit.
Page 3-31
Chapter 3: System planning Planning for connectorized units
Note
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an
antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut
fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé
pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et
son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse
pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
Page 3-32
Chapter 3: System planning Data network planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning PTP 550 data networks.
Ethernet interfaces
The PTP 550 Ethernet ports conform to the specifications listed in Table 38.
Practical Ethernet rates depend on network configuration and higher layer protocols. Over the
air throughput is capped to the rate of the Ethernet interface at the receiving end of the link.
IP interface
Select the IP version for the IP interface of the ODU management agent. PTP 550 can operate in
IPv4 mode, IPv6 mode, or in a dual IPv4/IPv6 mode. Choose one IPv4 address and/or one IPv6
address for the IP interface of the ODU management agent. The IP address or addresses must
be unique and valid for the connected network segment and VLAN.
Find out the correct subnet mask (IPv4) or prefix length (IPv6) and gateway IP address for this
network segment and VLAN.
Ensure that the design of the data network permits bidirectional 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.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

parties under the terms of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Page 4-10
Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Cambium Networks end user license agreement
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.

This software is not subject to any export provision of the United States
Department of Commerce, and may be exported to any country or planet.
Since some protocols are found in rare environments (finance, industry, ...),
some of them might be accessible only after signing an NDA. Enforcing GPL
on
such modules would only prevent them from ever being implemented, while
not
providing anything useful to ordinary users.
Page 4-32
Chapter 4: Legal and regulatory information Cambium Networks end user license agreement
For this reason, I *want* to be able to support binary only external modules
when needed, with a GPL core and GPL modules for standard protocols, so
that
people fixing bugs don't keep them secretly to try to stay over competition.
The solution was then to apply the LGPL license to the exportable include
files, while keeping the GPL for all the rest. This way, it still is mandatory
to redistribute modified code under customer request, but at the same time, it
is expressly permitted to write, compile, link and load non-GPL code using the
LGPL header files and not to distribute them if it causes a legal problem.
Of course, users are strongly encouraged to continue the work under GPL as
long
as possible, since this license has allowed useful enhancements, contributions
and fixes from talented people around the world.
Due to the incompatibility between the GPL and the OpenSSL licence, you
must
apply the GPL/LGPL licence with the following exception:
This program is released under the GPL with the additional exemption that
compiling, linking, and/or using OpenSSL is allowed.
The text of the licenses lies in the "doc" directory. All the files provided in
this package are covered by the GPL unless expressly stated otherwise in
them.
Every patch or contribution provided by external people will by default comply
with the license of the files it affects, or be rejected.

Note
Gain of antenna in dBi = 10*log(G).
The regulations require that the power used for the calculations is the maximum
power in the transmit burst subject to allowance for source-based time-averaging.
At 5.4 GHz and EU 5.8 GHz, the products are generally limited to a fixed EIRP which
can be achieved with the Integrated Antenna. The calculations above assume that the
maximum EIRP allowed by the regulations is being transmitted.
Note
If there are no EIRP limits in the country of deployment, use the distance calculations
in Table 31 Minimum safe distances – full power on page 4-67.
Remarque
Gain de l'antenne en dBi = 10 * log (G).
Les règlements exigent que la puissance utilisée pour les calculs soit la puissance
maximale de la rafale de transmission soumis à une réduction pour prendre en
compte le rapport cyclique pour les signaux modulés dans le temps.
Pour une opération dans la CEE dans les bandes 5,4 GHz et 5,8 GHz, les produits sont
généralement limités à une PIRE qui peut être atteinte avec l'antenne intégrée. Les
calculs ci-dessus supposent que la PIRE maximale autorisée par la réglementation est
atteinte.
Remarque
Si aucune limite de PIRE existe pour le pays de déploiement, utilisez les calculs de
distance pour FCC 5,8 GHz pour toutes les bandes de fréquence.
Pour la band FCC 5,8 GHz et les antennes entre 0,6 m (2 pieds) et 1,8 m (6 pieds),
modifier la distance proportionnellement au gain de l'antenne.

Failure to use a Cambium supplied PSU could result in equipment damage and will invalidate
the safety certification and may cause a safety hazard.
Page 5-2
Chapter 5: Installation Safety
External cables
Safety may be compromised if outdoor rated cables are not used for connections that will be
exposed to the outdoor environment. For outdoor copper Cat5e Ethernet interfaces, always use
Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel. Alternative types of drop
cable are not supported by Cambium Networks.
• All bends must have a minimum radius of 200 mm (8 in) and a minimum angle of 90°. A
diagonal run is preferable to a bend, even though it does not follow the contour or run
parallel to the supporting structure.
Page 5-3
Chapter 5: Installation Safety
• All bends, curves and connections must be routed towards the grounding electrode
system, ground rod, or ground bar.
• Approved bonding techniques must be used for the connection of dissimilar metals.
Thermal Safety
The ODU enclosure may be hot to the touch when in operation. The ODU must not be operated
in ambient temperatures exceeding 40°C unless mounted in a Restricted Access Location.
Warning
Do not install the ODU in a location where the ambient temperature could exceed 40°C
unless this is a Restricted Access Location as defined by EN 60950-1.

Page 5-7
Chapter 5: Installation Installing the ODU
1 Mount the antenna(s) according to manufacturer’s instructions. When using separate antennas to
achieve spatial diversity, mount one with Horizontal polarization and the other with Vertical
polarization.
2 Connect the ODU V and H interfaces to the antenna(s) with RF cable of type LMR-400 (Cambium
part numbers 30010194001 and 30010195001) and N type connectors (Cambium part number
09010091001). Tighten the N type connectors to a torque setting of 1.7 Nm (1.3 lb ft).
3 If the ODU is mounted indoors, install lightning arrestors at the building entry point:
4 Form drip loops near the lower ends of the antenna cables. These ensure that water is not
channeled towards the connectors.
5 If the ODU is mounted outdoors, weatherproof the N type connectors (when antenna alignment
is complete) using PVC tape and self-amalgamating rubber tape.
6 Weatherproof the antenna connectors in the same way (unless the antenna manufacturer
specifies a different method).
7 Ground the antenna cables to the supporting structure within 0.3 meters (1 foot) of the ODU and
antennas using the Cambium grounding kit (part number 01010419001):
8 Fix the antenna cables to the supporting structure using site approved methods. Ensure that no
undue strain is placed on the ODU or antenna connectors. Ensure that the cables do not flap in
the wind, as flapping cables are prone to damage and induce unwanted vibrations in the
supporting structure.
Page 5-8
Chapter 5: Installation Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface
Caution
To avoid damage to the installation, do not connect or disconnect the drop cable
when power is applied to the PSU or network terminating equipment.
Caution
Do not connect the SFP drop cables to the PSU, as this may damage equipment.
Caution
Always use Cat5e cable that is gel-filled and shielded with copper-plated steel.
Alternative types of Cat5e cable are not supported by Cambium Networks. Cambium
Networks supply this cable (Cambium part numbers WB3175 and WB3176), RJ45
connectors (Cambium part number WB3177) and a crimp tool (Cambium part number
WB3211).
Warning
The metal screen of the drop cable is very sharp and may cause personal injury.
• ALWAYS wear cut-resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut resistant).
• ALWAYS wear protective eyewear.
• ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable (DO NOT use a bladed knife).
Warning
Failure to obey the following precautions may result in injury or death:
• Use the proper hoisting grip for the cable being installed. If the wrong hoisting grip
is used, slippage or insufficient gripping strength will result.
• Do not reuse hoisting grips. Used grips may have lost elasticity, stretched, or
become weakened. Reusing a grip can cause the cable to slip, break, or fall.
• The minimum requirement is one hoisting grip for each 60 m (200 ft) of cable.
2 Slide one or more hoisting grips onto the top end of the drop cable.
3 Secure the hoisting grip to the cable using a special tool, as recommended by the manufacturer.
Page 5-9
Chapter 5: Installation Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface
Caution
Check that the crimp tool matches the RJ45 connector, otherwise the cable or
connector may be damaged.
1 Thread the cable gland (with black cap) onto the main drop cable.
2 Strip the cable outer sheath and fit the RJ45 connector load bar.
3 Fit the RJ45 connector housing as shown. To ensure there is effective strain relief, locate the
cable inner sheath under the connector housing tang. Do not tighten the gland nut:
Page 5-10
Chapter 5: Installation Installing the copper Cat5e Ethernet interface
Caution
Do not lay the drop cable alongside a lightning air terminal.
1 Hoist the top end of the main drop cable up to the ODU, following the hoist manufacturer’s
instructions. When the cable is in position, fasten the grip handle to the supporting structure
and remove the hoist line.
2 Connect the main drop cable to the ODU.
3 Attach the main drop cable to the supporting structure using site approved methods.

Note
A resistance of 20 Ohms is the maximum allowed when the cable is carrying Ethernet.
A resistance of 60 Ohms is the maximum allowed when the cable is carrying only
power to the ODU (when Ethernet is carried by one of the other ODU interfaces).
Note
Ensure that these resistances are within 10% of each other by multiplying the lowest
resistance by 1. If any of the other resistances are greater than this, the test has failed.
Page 5-12
Chapter 5: Installation Installing the PSU
Warning
Always use an appropriately rated and approved AC supply cord-set in accordance
with the regulations of the country of use.
Caution
As the PSU is not waterproof, locate it away from sources of moisture, either in the
equipment building or in a ventilated moisture-proof enclosure. Do not locate the
PSU in a position where it may exceed its temperature rating.
Caution
Do not plug any device other than a PTP 550 ODU into the ODU port of the PSU. Other
devices may be damaged due to the non-standard techniques employed to inject DC
power into the Ethernet connection between the PSU and the ODU.
Do not plug any device other than a Cambium PTP 550 PSU into the PSU port of the
ODU. Plugging any other device into the PSU port of the ODU may damage the ODU
and device.
1 Form a drip loop on the PSU end of the drop cable. The drip loop ensures that any moisture
that runs down the cable cannot enter the PSU.
2 (a) Place the AC Power Injector on a horizontal surface. Plug the ODU to PSU drop cable into
the PSU port labeled ODU. (b) When the system is ready for network connection, connect the
network Cat5e cable to the LAN port of the PSU:

Page 5-13
Chapter 5: Installation Installing an SFP Ethernet interface
In more advanced configurations, there may be an optical or copper Cat5e Ethernet interface
connected to the SFP port of the ODU.
Adapt the installation procedures in this chapter as appropriate for SFP interfaces, noting the
following differences from a PSU interface:
• Install an optical or copper SFP module in the ODU (SFP port) and connect the SFP optical
or copper cable into this module using the long cable gland from the SFP module kit. This
is described in the following procedures:
• At the remote end of an SFP drop cable, use an appropriate termination for the connected
device.
• If the connected device is outdoors, not in the equipment building or cabinet, adapt the
grounding instructions as appropriate.

Page 5-23
Chapter 5: Installation Supplemental installation information
2 Cut 38mm (1.5 inches) of rubber tape (self-amalgamating) and fit to the ground cable lug.
Wrap the tape completely around the lug and cable.
3 Fold the ground wire strap around the drop cable screen and fit cable ties.
Page 5-24
Chapter 5: Installation Supplemental installation information
4 Tighten the cable ties with pliers. Cut the surplus from the cable ties.
5 Cut a 38mm (1.5 inches) section of self-amalgamating tape and wrap it completely around the
joint between the drop and ground cables.
6 Use the remainder of the self-amalgamating tape to wrap the complete assembly. Press the
tape edges together so that there are no gaps.
Page 5-25
Chapter 5: Installation Supplemental installation information
7 Wrap a layer of PVC tape from bottom to top, starting from 25 mm (1 inch) below and
finishing 25 mm (1 inch) above the edge of the self-amalgamating tape, over lapping at half
width.
8 Repeat with a further four layers of PVC tape, always overlapping at half width. Wrap the
layers in alternate directions (top to bottom, then bottom to top). The edges of each layer
should be 25mm (1 inch) above (A) and 25 mm (1 inch) below (B) the previous layer.
9 Prepare the metal grounding point of the supporting structure to provide a good electrical
contact with the grounding cable clamp. Remove paint, grease or dirt, if present. Apply anti-
oxidant compound liberally between the two metals.
10 Clamp the bottom lug of the grounding cable to the supporting structure using site approved
methods. Use a two-hole lug secured with fasteners in both holes. This provides better
protection than a single-hole lug.

Chapter 6: Configuration and alignment Preparing for configuration and alignment
This section describes the checks to be performed before proceeding with unit configuration
and antenna alignment.
Safety precautions
All national and local safety standards must be followed while configuring the units and
aligning the antennas.
Warning
Ensure that personnel are not exposed to unsafe levels of RF energy. The units start to
radiate RF energy as soon as they are powered up. Respect the safety standards
defined in Compliance with safety standards on page 4-63, in particular the minimum
separation distances.
Observe the following guidelines:
• Never work in front of the antenna when the ODU is powered.
• Always power down the PSU before connecting or disconnecting the drop cable
from the PSU or ODU.
Regulatory compliance
All applicable radio regulations must be followed while configuring the units and aligning the
antennas. For more information, refer to Compliance with radio regulations on page 4-68.
Caution
If the system designer has provided a list of channels to be barred for TDWR radar
avoidance, the affected channels must be barred before the units are allowed to
radiate on site, otherwise the regulations will be infringed.
Attention
Si le concepteur du système a fourni une liste de canaux à interdire pour éviter les
radars TDWR, les cannaux concernées doivent être interdits avant que les unités sont
autorisées à émettre sur le site, sinon la réglementation peut être enfreinte.

Caution
PTP 550 supports Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC) where the Slave devices are
instructed by the Master to adjust their Tx power in order for the Slave device signal (UL
RSSI) to arrive at the Master at a predetermined RSSI level (configurable on the Master
under Configuration>Radio>Power Control>Slave Module Target Receive Level). This
feature is beneficial to keep the overall noise floor in the sector to an acceptable level.
However, the feature negates the purpose of eAlign measurements on the Master device
since, during the alignment, the Slave may constantly change its Tx power. It is
recommended to turn off ATPC and set the Slave Tx power to maximum allowable power
during alignment.

Chapter 7: Operation and Troubleshooting Testing hardware
Testing hardware
This section describes how to test the hardware when it fails on startup or during operation.
Before testing hardware, confirm that all outdoor cables, that is those that connect the ODU to
equipment inside the building, are of the supported type, as defined in Ethernet cabling on
page 2-13
Page 7-65
Chapter 7: Operation and Troubleshooting Testing hardware
Caution
This procedure disrupts network traffic carried by the AP or SM under test.
Procedure:
1. Ensure that the IP address of the computer is configured appropriately for connection to the
ODU under test, and does not conflict with other devices connected to the network.
2. If the power supply is connected to an Ethernet switch or router then connect the computer
to a spare port, if available.
3. If it is not possible to connect the computer to a spare port of an Ethernet switch or router,
then the power supply must be disconnected from the network in order to execute this test:
• Disconnect the power supply from the network.
• Connect the computer directly to the LAN port of the power supply.
4. On the computer, open the Command Prompt application.
5. Send 1000 ping packets of length 1500 bytes. The process will take 1000 seconds, which is
approximately 17 minutes.
If the computer is running a Windows operating system, this is achieved by typing (for an
IPv6 address, use the ping6 command):
ping –n 1000 –l 1500 <ipaddress>
where <ipaddress> is the IP address of the AP or SM under test.
If the computer is running a MAC operating system, this is achieved by typing:
ping –c 1000 –s 1492 <ipaddress>
where <ipaddress> is the IP address of the ODU under test.

Chapter 7: Operation and Troubleshooting Testing hardware
6. Record how many Ping packets are lost. This is reported by Command Prompt on
completion of the test.
The test has passed if the number of lost packets is less than 2.

Chapter 7: Operation and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the radio link
This section describes how to test the link when there is no radio communication, when it is
unreliable, or when the data throughput rate is too low. It may be necessary to test ODUs at
both ends of the link.
Procedure:
1 Check that the ODUs are configured with the same Frequency Carrier.
2 Verify the authentication settings on the ODU. if Authentication Type is set to WPA2, verify
that the Pre-shared Key matches between the ODUs.
3 Check that the software at each end of the link is the same version.
4 Check that the desired Master ODU SSID is configured in the Slave Preferred Masters List.
5 On the Slave ODU, check the DL RSSI and DL CINR values. Verify that for the ODU installed
distance, that the values are consistent with the values reported by the LINKPlanner tool.
8 If there are no faults found in the configuration and there is absolutely no wireless signal,
retry the installation procedure.
9 If this does not work then report a suspected ODU fault to Cambium Networks.
Page 7-68
Chapter 7: Operation and Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the radio link
Procedure:
1 Check that the interference has not increased by monitoring the uplink and downlink CINR
values reported in the ODU page Monitor, Wireless Status
2 Check that the RSSI values reported at the ODU are proper based on the distance of the link –
the LINKPlanner tool is designed to estimate these values.
3 Check that the path loss is low enough for the communication rates required.
4 Check that the ODU has not become misaligned.
5 Review your Quality of Service configuration and ensure that traffic is properly classified and
prioritized.

Chapter 7: Operation and Troubleshooting Using the device external reset button
PTP 550 ODUs feature an external button which serves two purposes:
• To reset the device (briefly depress the button for more than two seconds but less than ten
seconds then release)
Caution
If the reset button is pressed for more than ten seconds while powered on,
the device will reset back to its factory default configuration
• To reset the device to its factory default configuration (depress the button for more than
ten seconds then release)
Page 7-70
Chapter 7: Operation and Troubleshooting Resetting ODU to factory defaults by power cycling
Operators may reset a PTP 550 radio to default factory configuration by a sequence of power
cycling (removing and re-applying power to the device). This procedure allows operators to
perform a factory default reset without a tower climb or additional tools. The procedure is
depicted in Figure 53.
Procedure:
1 Remove the Ethernet cable from PoE jack of the power supply for at least 10 seconds.
2 Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ODU for 3-5 seconds and disconnect
cable to power off the ODU for 3-5 seconds. (1st power cycle)
3 Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ODU for 3-5 seconds and disconnect
cable to power off the ODU for 3-5 seconds. (2nd power cycle)
4 Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ODU for 3-5 seconds and disconnect
cable to power off the ODU for 3-5 seconds. (3rd power cycle)
5 Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ODU for 3-5 seconds and disconnect
cable to power off the ODU for 3-5 seconds. (4th power cycle)
6 Reconnect the Ethernet cable to re-supply power to the ODU for at least 30 seconds and allow
it to go through the boot up procedure (Note: Device will go through an additional reset
automatically). This will reset the current configuration files to factory default configuration
(e.g. IP addresses, Device mode, RF configuration etc.). The device can be pinged from a PC to
check if boot up is complete (Successful ping replies indicates boot up is complete).
7 Access the ODU e using the default IP address of 192.168.0.1.
Where: Is:
Off Power through PoE has been removed from the device
ton Time duration for which the device has been powered
on. This should be 3-5 seconds.
toff Time duration for which the device has been powered
off. This should be 3-5 seconds.
