Chapter 1: Before You Start Safety Precautions & Declared Material

Safety Precautions & Declared Material

Public and Occupational Boundary Distances Under Article


3.1(a) of the RE Directive
Based on the highest nominal output power of the PTP 820C:
• The public exposure of compliance boundary distance is 4.8m.
• The occupational exposure of compliance boundary distance is 1.2m. This is the worst case for the highest
nominal output power, using 10-13 GHz frequency bands and antennas up to 1 ft. For all other configurations,
the compliance boundary distance is 0.
Note that even when the compliance boundary is a non-zero value, this only applies within the bore sight of the
antenna dish. Therefore, during work within and close to the front of the antenna, make sure the transmitters are
turned off. As long as the transmitters are turned off during any work on the system, the occupational exposure
limit is not of concern to workers operating in or around the parabolic dish antenna.

General Equipment Precautions


Caution
To avoid malfunctioning or personnel injuries, equipment or accessories/kits/plug-in unit
installation, requires qualified and trained personnel. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Cambium Networks could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Caution
Where special cables, shields, adapters and grounding kits are supplied or described in this manual,
these items must be used, to comply with the FCC regulations.

Caution
Use of controls, adjustments, or performing procedures other than those specified herein, may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Caution
When working with a PTP 820C, note the following risk of electric shock and energy hazard:
Disconnecting one power supply disconnects only one power supply module. To isolate the unit
completely, disconnect all power supplies.

Caution
Machine noise information order - 3. GPSGV, the highest sound pressure level amounts to 70 dB (A)
or less, in accordance with ISO EN 7779.

Chapter 2: Product Hardware Description PTP 820C Hardware Overview

Channel-Port Mapping to Polarization


Two transceiver chains and two diplexers are embedded in each PTP 820C unit. In most cases, both diplexers are
the same exact type. When the diplexers are the same type, radio ports 1 and 2 cover the exact same frequency
range.
In the 6-11GHz frequency bands, where channelization and diplexers are relatively narrow, a single PTP 820C unit
might have to operate in two channels that are not covered by the same diplexer.
When this is required, the PTP 820C can be ordered with two different diplexer types to cover two different
channel ranges within the same frequency band.
Table 1: Channel-Port Mapping

Radio Port ID (EMS ID) Channels Coverage


Port 2 Ch 7-8
Port 1 Ch 1-2

Figure 4: Channel Ranges

Note: The same orientation is maintained for TX-H and TX-L units.
When installing an PTP 820C unit with two different diplexers in a Multicore 2+0 DP Direct Mount configuration,
the V and H ports of the OMT are mechanically connected to Port 2 and 1 respectively.
This means that in the above example, V polarization is covered by channels 7 through 8 (Port 2) and H polarization
is covered by channels 1 through 2 (Port 1).

Figure 5: V and H Polarization

phn-3962 005v000

Chapter 2: Product Hardware Description PTP 820C Hardware Overview

To assign the channels to different polarizations, a different system with a different marketing model should
be ordered.
The following marketing model represents a system in which V polarization is covered by channels 1 through
2 (Port 2) and H polarization is covered by channels 7 through 8 (Port 1):

To prepare the Ethernet cable and plug-in field:

1
41B Prepare the gland and insert the cable, as described in General Installation Procedure.
2
42B Strip off approximately 45 mm of the outer insulation jacket from the CAT5E cable.

3
43B Do not strip off the end of the cableshield, but rather, twist the shield to form a braid.

4
4B
Roll back the foil shield insulation and wrap the drain wire around the foil. Do not remove any insulation
from the conductors.

5
45B Align the colored wires.

Management Connection for 4x4 MIMO and


1+1/2+2 HSB Configurations

In 4x4 MIMO ASD (two units) and all HSB protection configurations, two Y-splitter cables and a special signaling
cable must be used to connect the management ports (MGT/PROT) of the two PTP 820C units and provide
management access to each unit.
The MIMO/Protection signaling cables are available pre-assembled from Cambium Networks in various lengths,
but users can also prepare them in the field.
The following sections explain how to prepare and connect these cables.

Chapter 3: Cable Installation and Grounding Management Connection for 4x4 MIMO and 1+1/2+2
HSB Configurations

Connecting the MIMO/Protection Splitters and Protection


Signaling Cable
Each splitter has three ports:
• System plug (“Sys”) – The system plug should be connected to the PTP 820C’s management port.
• Management port (“Mng”) – A standard CAT5E cable should be connected to the splitter’s management port
in order to utilize out-of-band (external) management.

Note
Even for systems that use in-band management, initial configuration of a 4x4 MIMO and any HSB
protection configuration must be performed manually using out-of-band management.

• MIMO/Protection signaling port (“MIMO/Prot”) – A MIMO/Protection signaling cross cable, as described


above, should be connected between this port and the other “MIMO/Prot” port of the second splitter on the
mate PTP 820C unit.
• The following figure demonstrates a 4x4 MIMO configuration in which both PTP 820C units are connected to
an external management station and to each other, using two splitters.

General Notes Concerning All Installation


Procedures

Since the PTP 820C architecture is of a Dual Core nature, each dual core configuration can be considered as single
core configuration hardware ready for its dual core counterpart. Therefore, you must follow the same procedure
for 2+0 SP installation, if you want to install a 1+0 SP HW ready for 2+0 SP.
One of the major benefits of the PTP 820C and the dual core architecture is that upgrading can be done remotely
by uploading the correct software license.
Before starting an installation, use a leveler to make sure that the poles are 100% vertical. You need to check both
sides of each pole at 90 degrees separation. This is a critical step in any link but most important when installing
MIMO or XPIC

Note
Do not remove the transparent pressure windows located on the antenna interfaces.

Torque Requirements

When tightening the captive screws, use 20 Nm torque for radio-antenna, radio-mediation device, and mediation
device-antenna connections. In order to avoid misalignment, screws should be tightened progressively.
When fastening a waveguide to the radio or mediation device, use the following torque, according to frequency
and screw type:
• 6 GHz: M5/#10-32: 3.5 Nm
• 7/8-15 GHz: M4/#8-32: 2.5 Nm

Configurations

Management Connection for MIMO and Protection


Configurations

In MIMO and all HSB protection configurations, a special signaling cable must be used to connect the management
ports (MGT/PROT) of the two PTP 820C units.
When Out-of-Band management is used, a splitter must be used to connect the management ports to local
management and to each other.
The MIMO/Protection signaling cables are available pre-assembled from Cambium Networks in various lengths
(see Cables for MIMO Connections on page 3-13), but you can also prepare them in the field.
The following sections explain how to prepare and connect these cables.

Preparing a MIMO/Protection Signaling Cable


To prepare your own MIMO/Protection signaling cables, follow the instructions in Preparing the Ethernet Cable
and Plug-in Field on page 3-31. You must use the following pinouts:

Chapter 6: Installation Procedures per Configuration Type AFR 1+0 Hub Site

AFR 1+0 Hub Site

In an AFR 1+0 configuration, a Multicore PTP 820C unit is deployed at the hub site and two PTP 820C or PTP 820S
units are deployed in two tail sites.
The hub site utilizes a single PTP 820C unit with two radio carriers. Each carrier is in a link, via its own directional
antenna, with a tail site that consists of a PTP 820C or PTP 820S unit.

Note
The links should be located so as to ensure that the two radio paths do not cross.
The tail site unit is installed as a simple 1+0 configuration.

The hub site unit is installed as a remote mount configuration in which two flexible waveguides are used to
connect the two Remote Mount Adaptor ports to an antenna. This chapter describes a hub site installation.
For standard interface antennas (six feet and larger), no OMT and no Circ./Circ. Adaptor are used, and the flexible
waveguides are connected directly to the antenna flanges. For instructions how to connect the waveguides to the
antenna flanges, refer to the antenna vendor's documentation.

Chapter 8: Acceptance & Commissioning Procedures Site Acceptance Checklist Notes

Site Acceptance Checklist Notes

The following notes provide important additional information about the Site Acceptance Checklist.
1. Antenna Mounting
o Mounting pole is of sufficient height to clear local obstructions, such as parapets, window cleaning
gantries, and lift housings.
o Mounting Pole is of sufficient height, and is safely positioned, so as not to cause a safety hazard. No
person should be able to walk in front of, or look directly into the path of the microwave radio beam.
Where possible, the pole should be away from the edge of the building.
o Mounting pole is secure and perpendicular. A pole that is not perpendicular may cause problems during
antenna alignment.
o Mounting pole is grounded as per site specifications. All operators and site owners have specific
requirements regarding the grounding of installations. As a minimum, typical requirements are such that
any metal structure must be connected to the existing lightning protection ground of the building. Where
it extends beyond the 45-degree cone of protection of existing lightning conductors, additional lightning
protectors should be installed.
o All steelwork is Galvanized or Stainless Steel, as appropriate to prevent corrosion.
2. Antenna
o Antenna is grounded as per site specifications. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section
above.
o Antenna sway braces are fitted and installed correctly, where applicable. Typically, for an antenna of 1.2
m or larger, an extra sway brace is fitted to the mounting frame of the antenna. This sway brace should
not be mounted to the same pole as the antenna, but should be installed directly back to the tower or an
alternative point.
o Antenna Water Drain Plugs are fitted and removed, where appropriate. Some antennas have moisture
drain plugs installed at various points around the antenna. The purpose of these plugs is to allow any
moisture that forms on the inside of the antenna or radome to drip out and prevent a pool within the
antenna. Only the plugs at the bottom of the antenna, after installation, should be removed. All other
plugs should be left in position.
3. ODU (Outdoor Unit)
o The ODU is grounded as per installation instructions. See the third point in the Antenna Mounting section
above.
o The ODU polarization is as per link requirements and matches the polarization of the antenna.
o The main traffic connections are correctly terminated and crimped as per cable and connector
manufacturer instructions. All fiber optic patch leads should be routed carefully and efficiently, using
conduits to prevent damage to the cables.
o All other user terminations are secure and correctly terminated.
o All labeling is complete as per site requirements. Labeling is specific to each customer. At a site with only
one installation, labeling may be unnecessary. However, at sites with multiple installations, correct and
adequate labeling is essential for future maintenance operations.
Typical labeling requirements include:
• Antenna labels - for link identity and bearing
• ODU labels - for link identity, frequency, and polarization
• Cat5/Fiber cable labels - for link identity, close to the ODU, switch, and either end of any joint

phn-3962 005v000

Chapter 8: Acceptance & Commissioning Procedures Radio Link Commissioning Procedure

Radio Link Commissioning Procedure

Scope
This section describes the recommended commissioning tests for PTP 820 radio link in a 1+0 configuration.
The purpose of the commissioning tests is to verify correct and proper operation of the product.

Commissioning Test
The following tests should be performed on each installed link.

Link Verification
• Received Signal Level (RSL) is up to +/- 4 dB from the expected (calculated) level at both ends of the link. 1
0F

• Radio Bit Error Rate (BER) is 10E-11 orlower.


• If working with ATPC, ATPC is operating as expected (RSL = reference level).

Ethernet Line Interfaces Test


• Connect Ethernet Packet Analyzer to the GbE port. Use physical loop at remote end (or connect second
analyzer). Run Packet Loss test for at least one hour (load rate as per Cambium's specifications for the chosen
MRMC).
• Connect Ethernet Packet Analyzer to the FE port. Use physical loop at remote end (or connect second
analyzer). Run Packet Loss test for at least one hour (load rate as per Cambium's specifications for the chosen
MRMC).

Interoperability Verification
• Connect customer end equipment to the line interfaces, and verify correct operation.
• Further interoperability tests should be performed in accordance with the specific requirements of the
connected end equipment.

1 The voltage at the BNC port is 1.XX where XX is the RSL level. For example: 1.59V means an RSL of -59
dBm. Note that the voltage measured at the BNC port is not accurate and should be used only as an aid).

Chapter 8: Acceptance & Commissioning Procedures Radio Link Commissioning Procedure

Management Verification
• Launch the HTTP management and verify that you can manage the link and that you are able to perform
changes to the link configuration (frequency channel, Tx power, system name, time & date, etc.)
• Verify that correct parameters are reported when performing the above.
• Verify that there are no active alarms on the link.
• If the management station is located at a remote site (Network Operation Center), verify that the
management station can manage the link and receive traps.
