Getting Started 3.3 Product Description This User Manual is specifically written for the 500 family of point-to-point broadband wireless solutions. The PTP 500 Series Bridge has been developed to provide Point-to-Point data connectivity via a 5.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz wireless Ethernet bridge operating at broadband data rates. The PTP 500 Series Bridge is aimed at a wide range of applications.
Getting Started A pair of units is normally supplied pre-configured as a link. The network connection to a PTP 500 Series Bridge is made via a 100BaseT Ethernet connection. Power is provided to the ODU over the 100BaseT Ethernet connection using a patented nonstandard powering technique. Power is fed into the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus from the mains via a standard “figure of eight” mains plug. Connection between the ODU and PIDU Plus is made using standard CAT5e outdoor UV resistant cable.
Getting Started 3.3.1 The Outdoor Unit (ODU) The ODU is a self-contained unit. It houses both radio and networking electronics. The ODU for the PTP 500 Series Bridge should only be deployed using the supplied PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus. Figure 2 shows an installation example of a PTP 500 Series ODU with a Motorola lightning protection unit (PTP-LPU).
Getting Started 3.3.2 PIDU Plus – PTP 500 Series Bridge The PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus is used to generate the ODU supply voltage from the mains supply and inject this supply voltage into the 1000BaseT Ethernet connection to the ODU. Connection uses a CAT5e cable using standard RJ45 wiring. CAUTION: Care should be taken not to connect equipment other than an ODU for the PTP 500 Series Bridge to a PIDU Plus ODU port as equipment damage may occur.
Getting Started The Recovery switch is used to recover the unit from configuration errors or software image corruption. To put a PTP 500 Series Bridge into Recovery mode the Recovery switch should be pressed then the power applied. The Recovery switch should be kept pressed for at least 30 seconds after the power has been applied. Full instruction on the recovery mode can be found in Section 9 “Recovery Mode”.
Getting Started 3.3.3 Redundancy and Alternate Powering Configurations NOTE: The use of DC supplies of less than 55v will reduce the usable distance between the PIDU Plus and ODU see Figure 6. Figure 6 PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus to ODU Cable Length Graph CAUTION: The maximum distance from the ODU to the connected network equipment is 100m (330 ft) when using 100BaseT. 3.3.3.1 External DC Supply Only For use where there is no mains supply.
Getting Started 3.3.3.2 External DC Supply and AC Supply To give redundancy through the use of mains and DC supply. Figure 8 External DC Supply and AC Supply 3.3.3.3 External DC Supply and Redundant AC Supply To guard against mains failure, DC supply failure of PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus failure.
Getting Started 3.3.4 Remote LEDs and Recovery Switch The PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus provides a facility to connect remote LEDs and Recovery switch allowing the PIDU Plus to be mounted inside an enclosure. At the left hand end of the PIDU Plus under the ODU connection cover can be found a PCB header and three jumpers. Jumpers J906 and J907 should be removed and connection to the remote LEDs and Recovery switch made to J908 as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10 Remote LED and Recovery Switch Wiring 3.3.
Getting Started Caution: Failure to use the recommended (or equivalent) standard of cable may invalidate the system’s safety certification. The cable used to connect the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus to the users Network Equipment can be any standard CAT5e Cable. The PIDU Plus to ODU and the PIDU Plus to Network Equipment cables may be unscreened (UTP) or screened (STP). However, unscreened cables reduce the system’s ability to cope with nearby lightning strikes.
Getting Started 3.4 Warranty Motorola’s standard hardware warranty is for one (1) year from date of shipment from Motorola or a Motorola Point-to-Point Distributor. Motorola warrants that hardware will conform to the current relevant published specifications and will be free from material defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service.
Product Architecture 4 Product Architecture The PTP 500 Series Bridge consists of an identical pair of units deployed one at each end of the link. The radio link operates on a single frequency channel in each direction using Time Division Duplex (TDD). One unit is deployed as a master and the other as a slave. The master unit takes responsibility for controlling the link in both directions.
Product Architecture Figure 11 PTP 500 Series Bridge Layer Diagram Each unit in the link is manageable through an IP connection. Standard IP protocols are utilized for all management functions e.g., HP, SNMP, etc. The unit can be configured to use VLAN tags on the management interfaces. The PTP 500 Series Bridge is fully software upgradeable. New software images are first downloaded from the Motorola website http://www.motorola.com/ptp to a convenient computer.

Installation 7 Installation Motorola recommends that only qualified personnel undertake the installation of a PTP 500 Series Bridge solution. 7.1 Preparation Before proceeding with the installation you should: • • • • • Check the contents of all packages against the parts lists shown in the packing list. Ensure that you have the correct tools for the job. Ensure that you are qualified to undertake the work. Ensure that you have taken the correct safety precautions.
Installation 7.5 Legal Disclaimer IN NO EVENT SHALL MOTOROLA, INC. BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY TO ANY PERSONS OR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED DURING THE INSTALLATION OF THE MOTOROLA PTP 500 SERIES PRODUCT. 7.6 Mounting the ODUs The ODU mounting bracket is designed to ease installation by fixing the bracket to a pole and then bringing the ODU into position using a single bolt fixing. The ODU should be mounted using the following steps ensuring that the cable entry is at the bottom.
Installation The enclosure and mounting brackets of the PTP 500 Series Bridge product range are capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 151mph (242kph). The installer should ensure that the structure the bridge is fixed to is also capable of withstanding the prevalent wind speeds and loads. See Section 12 "Wind Loading".
Installation The cable should be assembled as shown in Figure 17: Figure 17 Correct Cable Preparation for the Recommended Cable Both ends of the ODU cable are terminated in the same way. The above procedure should be repeated for the PIDU Plus end of the cable when the cable routing process is complete. This assumes that the installation uses PTP LPUs. If not, then the PIDU Plus end of the cable does not require a Gland, but just the RJ45. NOTE: The PIDU Plus end of the cable does not use a cable gland.
Installation Figure 18 shows a completed ODU to PIDU Plus cable. Figure 18 Completed ODU Connector CAUTION: Do not over tighten the glands as the internal seal and structure may be damaged. See Figure 19 for an example of an over tightened cable gland. Figure 19 Warning Not To Over tighten Cable Gland 7.7.
Installation 7.7.3 Making the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus Connection At The ODU The following procedure describes how connection is made at the ODU. It is often easier to carry out this procedure on the ground or a suitable surface prior to mounting the ODU. Ensure that no power is connected to the PIDU Plus or present on the cable before connecting the ODU. Step 1: Assemble the cable as described in 5.7.
Installation Should it be necessary to disconnect the PIDU Plus to ODU cable at the ODU, this can be achieved by removing the weather proofing gland and depressing the RJ45 locking tab with a small screwdriver as shown below: Figure 22 Disconnecting the ODU CAUTION: Ensure that power is removed from the system at the PIDU Plus to prevent damage to the ODU while making or breaking the connection. 7.7.
Installation 7.7.7 Making the ODU Connection at the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus The ODU is connected to the PIDU Plus by means of a concealed RJ45 connector. The RJ45 connection has been placed inside the PIDU Plus hinged cover to prevent the user from inadvertently plugging other equipment into the ODU RJ45 socket.
Installation 7.7.8 Making the Network Connection at The PIDU Plus – PTP 500 Series Bridge The Network connection is made by connecting the user’s Network Equipment directly to the PIDU Plus LAN port as shown in Figure 23. Figure 23 Making the Network Connection at the PIDU Plus 7.7.9 Mounting the PTP 500 Series Bridge PIDU Plus This step is optional. Motorola recommends that you mount the PIDU Plus on a wall or other suitable mounting surface.
Installation CAUTION: The PIDU Plus is not waterproof and should be mounted away from sources of moisture. If mounted outdoors, the unit should be mounted in a rain proof enclosure, preferably ventilated. It is also recommended that you fit a drip loop on the PIDU Plus to ODU cable to ensure that any moisture that runs down the cable into the cabinet or enclosure cannot enter the PIDU Plus. As shown in Figure 24.
Installation as a hub/switch (and auto-sensing MDI/MDIX cross over is employed), connection can be made directly to the computer using a standard CAT 5 patch cable. Before physical installation takes place the units to be installed should be set up as described in the Section 8.3.4 "Install Pages". It is recommended that this procedure be carried out on the bench before physical installation commences.
Installation may be suffering from interference or a fast fading link. Installing in this situation may not give a reliable link. The cause of the problem should be investigated. For the ease of alignment, both Master and Slave units use the install tones in the same way but with some small behavioral differences. This allows the installer to install the Slave unit first and carry out the initial alignment with the Master unit if desired.
Web Page Reference 8 Web Page Reference The web user interface has three main sections. The home page presents to the operator a high level summary of the PTP 500 Series Bridge point-to-point wireless link. The status page presents a more detailed set of system parameters describing the performance of the wireless link together with other key system performance metrics. The final section is the system administration section.
Web Page Reference 8.1 Home Page – PTP 500 Series Bridge The home page for the PTP 500 Series Bridge has been designed to display a high level summary of the status of the wireless link and associated equipment. The home page (Figure 26) normally displays four key system attributes: Wireless Link Status: The Wireless Link Status attribute displays the current status of the PTP 500 Series Bridge wireless link. A state of ‘Up’ on a green background indicates that a pointto-point link is established.
Web Page Reference Figure 27 Alarm Warning Triangle The following system alarms are defined: Region Code: The region code prohibits the wireless unit from operating outside the regulated limits. An invalid region code indicates a corrupted license key. Note that a change of state may generate an SNMP trap and/or SMTP email alert. Install Status: A non-OK value indicates that signaling was received with the wrong MAC address.
Web Page Reference Incompatible Master and Slave: A non-zero value indicates that the master and slave ends of the wireless link are different hardware products, or have different software versions. Note that it is very unusual to detect this because incompatible units will normally fail to establish a wireless link.

Fault Finding 10 Fault Finding If communication has been lost with the unit at the near end of the link then there may be a hardware fault with the wiring, network or hardware. Go to the hardware section below. If communication with the far end of the link is lost then go to the radio section below. 10.1 Hardware If there are problems suspected with the link hardware the following procedure is recommended. 10.1.1 Power Check the power LED at each end of the link.
Fault Finding Differentiating between 1-3 and 4 can be achieved by removing the power for 1 second. Watch the Ethernet indicator for 1 minute while power is removed, if it never flashes then the problem is 1-3. Take the jumper (J905) out of the PIDU Plus and check the current taken by the ODU. This should be 300mA to 1A when starting to run normally.
Fault Finding 3. Check the cable resistance between pins 1 & 3 at the RJ45. Check against column 3 in Table 17. 4. Check the cable resistance between pins 4 & 7 at the RJ45. Check against column 4 in Table 17. 5. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pins 1 & 8 for all cable lengths. 6. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 1 and ODU ground for all cable lengths. 7. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 8 and ODU ground for all cable lengths 10.2 Radio 10.
Lightning Protection 11 Lightning Protection EMD (Lightning) damage is not covered under standard warranty The recommendations in this user manual when installed correctly give the user the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD. However 100% protection is neither implied nor possible. 11.1 Overview The idea of lightning protection is to protect structures, equipment and people against lightning by conducting the lightning current to ground via a separate preferential solid path.

Lightning Protection 11.3.1 Pre-Power Testing Before plugging the RJ45 from the lower LPU (or if not fitted the ODU) into the PIDU, check the following resistances at the RJ45: 1. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&2, 3&6, 4&5 and 7&8 at the RJ45. Check against column 2 in Table 17. Resistances for each pair should be within 1 ohm of each other. 2. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&3 and 4&7 at the RJ45. Check against columns 3 and 4 respectively in Table 17. 3.
Lightning Protection 1. Connect the RJ45 to the PIDU and apply power to the PIDU, the power LED should illuminate continuously. 2. 30 seconds after powering, the Ethernet LED should be observed starting with 10 slow flashes. 3. If there is a network connection the Ethernet LED will then show Ethernet activity. If the system does not operate corrctly, refer to the fault finding below. The PIDU Green power LED does not illuminateUnplug the ODU connection from the PIDU and check the power LED illumination.
Lightning Protection 11.4 Locating the Fault Having identified which of the wiring cores are likely to be connected incorrectly, the location of the faulty cable can be narrowed by disconnecting sections of the drop cable and by unplugging the relevant RJ45 connectors from the LPUs. As a further aid to locating the fault the Ethernet connections are also available inside the LPU.
Wind Loading 12 Wind Loading 12.1 General Antennas and electronic equipment mounted on towers or pole mounted on 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. 12.
Wind Loading Note: When the connectorized version of 500 Series bridge is used with external antennas, the figures from the antenna manufacturer for lateral force should be included to calculate to total loading on the mounting structure. 12.3 Capabilities of the PTP 500 Series Bridges The structure and mounting brackets of the PTP Series systems are capable of withstanding wind speeds up to 151mph (242 kph).
