  • Page 13: Planning

    PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement 3 Planning PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series systems use a 10 MHz channel size configurable on 5 MHz centers. This channel size, along with some different characteristics due to the use OFDM carrier technology and QPSK, 16 QAM, or 64 QAM modulation, supports somewhat different channel planning than for standard Canopy.
  • Page 14 PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement The best practice for channel planning for APs is to conduct extensive site RF surveys before choosing channels. For those with the equipment and expertise, use commercial and industrial spectrum analysis equipment. The PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series APs and SMs do not provide a spectrum analyzer in the first release (planned for a subsequent release), but standard 5.4 GHz FSK SMs can be used to give useful information on the RF environment in the planned PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series AP deployment location.

  • Page 27 A 1/8 cyclic prefix means that for every 8 bit of throughput data transmitted, an additional bit is used. PMP 400 Series networks use a cyclic prefix of 1/4 that is not configurable by the user. PTP 200 Series modules (OFDM BHs) are settable for either 1/8 or 1/4 cyclic prefix. The use of 1/8 cyclic prefix provides about 11% higher maximum throughput, and is recommended in most cases.
  • Page 28 PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement In most deployments, 1/8 Cyclic Prefix will provide a high quality, higher throughput • link. In cases with severe multi-pathing or obstructions, 1/4 Cyclic Prefix may give better overall results. Procedure for setting the Cyclic Prefix 3.

  • Page 34 PMP 400 and PTP 200 Series Canopy User Guide Supplement can be wiped over the connector area to provide some resistance to water ingress around the connector. 3. Use a 600SSC surge suppressor within 3 ft (~1 m) of the AP, and ground it to known good ground (Protective Earth - PE) on the tower or support structure with a 10 AWG ground strap.
  • Page 35 Use an SMMB2 SM mounting bracket, not an SMMB1 typically used with standard Canopy SMs. The PMP 400 Series SM or the PTP 200 Series BH is heavier and has a higher wind load than a classic Canopy module, and so the stronger SMMB2 is required. The SMMB2 is the mounting arm used with Canopy 900 MHz integrated APs and SMs, and used with reflectors.
