PTP 800 Series User Guide System management The PTP 800 enterprise MIB is available for download in the application software package from the support web page (see Contacting Cambium Networks on page 2). Further details of the standard SNMP MIB objects supported by PTP 800 are provided in Standard SNMP MIBs on page 4-77. SNMP must be enabled for use by means of the SNMP State attribute in the web-based interface. Activation of SNMP in PTP 800 requires a reboot of the CMU.
PAGE 96
System management Chapter 1: Product description Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) The clock supplies accurate date and time information to the system. It can be set to run with or without a connection to one or two network time servers (SNTP). It can be configured to display local time by setting the time zone and daylight saving in the Time Configuration web page. If an SNTP server connection is available, the clock can be set to synchronize with the server time at regular intervals.

PTP 800 Series User Guide System management View-based access control model PTP 800 supports the SNMPv3 view-based access control model (VACM) with a single context. The context name is the empty string. The context table is read-only, and cannot be modified by users. Access to critical security parameters The SNMPv3 management interface does not provide access to critical security parameters (CSPs). It is not possible to read or modify AES keys used to encrypt data transmitted at the wireless interface.
PAGE 98
System management Chapter 1: Product description The default user initial is created with a view of the entire MIB, requiring authentication for SET operations. There is no access for template users. VACM grants access for requests sent with more than the configured security level. The default user initial will have read/write access to the whole of the MIB. This is described in further detail in View-based access control model on page 1-57.

1+1 Hot Standby link protection Chapter 1: Product description 1+1 Hot Standby link protection This section is an overview of the concept, operation and interfaces of 1+1 Hot Standby links. 1+1 Hot Standby overview The 1+1 Hot Standby feature provides an option for protecting against a single point equipment failure. It also enables maintenance to be carried out with insignificant impact on customer traffic. Such maintenance actions include software upgrade and unit replacement.
PAGE 105
PTP 800 Series User Guide 1+1 Hot Standby link protection The other CMU and ODU / IRFU transceiver are called the inactive units and these will remain on standby waiting to take over in case of a failure of the active units. If a failure does occur, an automatic protection switch will take place and the previously inactive units will take over as the active units. A protection switch may take place at one end of the link independently of the other end of the link.
PAGE 106
1+1 Hot Standby link protection Chapter 1: Product description Two antennas per end The ODUs installed at the same end of a 1+1 Hot Standby link can be connected to separate antennas. Although antennas with different gains or mounting options may be deployed, they must have the same polarization. If the two antennas at a given end have different gains, the ODU configured as Primary should be connected to the antenna with the highest gain.
PAGE 107
PTP 800 Series User Guide 1+1 Hot Standby link protection Receive Diversity Receive Diversity improves link availability by providing each end of a wireless link with multiple observations of the signal which has been transmitted from the remote end of the link. It is particularly effective in combating multipath fading caused by atmospheric effects such as scintillation and ducting. Both these effects can occur to a significant degree in microwave links.
PAGE 108
1+1 Hot Standby link protection Chapter 1: Product description Effects of Receive Diversity on 1+1 operation In almost all aspects, the 1+1 Hot Standby feature operates in the same way regardless of whether or not Receive Diversity has been enabled. Of most significance is the concept of the Active and Inactive units, where it is the Active ODU or IRFU transceiver which always radiates at the antenna and the Active CMU which forwards Ethernet frames to the network.

Grounding and lightning protection Chapter 2: Planning considerations Lightning protection zones Use the ‘rolling sphere method’ (Figure 42) to determine where it is safe to mount equipment. An imaginary sphere, typically 50 meters in radius, is rolled over the structure. Where the sphere rests against the ground and a strike termination device (such as a finial or ground bar), consider the space under the sphere to be in the zone of protection (Zone B).

Basic requirements Install the outdoor equipment, that is antenna and ODU (if deployed), in ‘Zone B’ (see Lightning protection zones on page 2-8). Ground the indoor devices, that is CMU and IRFU (if deployed), at their chassis bonding points.
PAGE 122
Grounding and lightning protection Chapter 2: Planning considerations LPU and IF cable requirements Applies to ODU deployments only. Use LPUs and IF cables that meet the following requirements: • A lightning protection unit (LPU) (from the Cambium LPU kit, part number WB3657) is installed within 600 mm (24 in) of the point at which the IF cable enters the building or equipment room.

Data network planning Chapter 2: Planning considerations Data network planning When planning PTP 800 data networks, consider the factors described in this section. Management mode Decide how the PTP 800 will be managed. There are three modes of management: out-ofband local, out-of-band and in-band. In the default out-of-band local management mode, the management agent can be reached only from the Management port of the CMU.
PAGE 131
PTP 800 Series User Guide Data network planning VLAN membership Decide if the IP interface of the CMU management agent will be connected in a VLAN. If so, decide if this is a standard (IEEE 802.1Q) VLAN or provider bridged (IEEE 802.1ad) VLAN, and select the VLAN ID for this VLAN. Use of a separate management VLAN is strongly recommended for applications based on the in-band management mode. Use of the management VLAN helps to ensure that the CMU management agent cannot be accessed by customers.
PAGE 132
Data network planning Chapter 2: Planning considerations PTP 800 provides eight queues for traffic waiting for transmission over the wireless link. Q0 is the lowest priority queue and Q7 is the highest priority queue. Traffic is scheduled using strict priority; in other words, traffic in a given queue is transmitted when all higher priority queues are empty. Layer 2 control protocols Select the transmission queue for each of the recognized layer 2 control protocols (L2CP).
PAGE 133
PTP 800 Series User Guide Data network planning Hot Standby links In a 1+1 Hot Standby link, set the same QoS configuration on primary and secondary units. Out-of-band management When the wireless link is configured for out-of-band management, select an appropriate setting for the Management CIR attribute. A high CIR will provide greater capacity for management traffic, at the cost of allowing bursty management traffic to have a greater impact on capacity remaining for customer traffic.
PAGE 134
Security planning Chapter 2: Planning considerations Security planning When planning PTP 800 links to operate in secure mode, follow the process described in this section. Planning for SNTP operation To prepare for Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) operation: • Identify the time zone and daylight saving requirements that apply to the system. • Determine whether or not there is a requirement to synchronize the PTP 800 clock with an SNTP server at regular intervals.

Concept of a 1+1 Hot Standby link A 1+1 Hot Standby link provides protection against single point equipment failure. This is achieved by the deployment of extra equipment which automatically takes over the operation of the link in case of failure. The two main advantages of a 1+1 Hot Standby link are: • Better availability.

PTP 800 Series User Guide Planning 1+1 Hot Standby links IRFU 1+1 Tx MHSB / Rx SD with two remote mount antennas Requires two lengths of elliptical waveguide (Figure 58). The length of each waveguide is dependant on the distance between the antenna and the IRFU. Requires waveguide dehydration accessories. The IRFU will only radiate from the main antenna. The diverse antenna may be selected with lower gain if space on the mast is an issue. Both antennas must have the same polarity.
PAGE 154
Planning 1+1 Hot Standby links Chapter 2: Planning considerations Designating primary and secondary units At each link end, designate one unit as Primary and the other as Secondary, applying the following criteria: • The Primary CMU is connected to the ODU or IRFU transceiver with the best link budget. In ODU deployments with unequal couplers, this is the ODU connected to the arm of the coupler with the lowest path loss. The coupler labels this arm as "Main".
PAGE 155
PTP 800 Series User Guide Planning 1+1 Hot Standby links Network configurations for 1+1 1+1 Hot Standby link management In a 1+1 Hot Standby Link, each CMU is managed separately and must be assigned its own IP address. Choosing Ethernet switches The Ethernet switch must react to a brief disconnection of an Ethernet port by flushing its forwarding data base (see Bridging in 1+1 links on page 1-66). This allows the Ethernet switch to learn the new bridging path following a protection switch.
PAGE 156
Planning 1+1 Hot Standby links Chapter 2: Planning considerations The Fiber-Y arrangement can be a useful feature in complex networks, such as ring architectures, where there is a requirement for the link to provide a single interface at the Ethernet Switch. The Ethernet Switch must provide a single fiber port. This arrangement is shown in Figure 60.

PTP 800 Series User Guide Planning 1+1 Hot Standby links Ethernet Switch Requirements for Receive Diversity In addition to the Ethernet Switch features required to support operation of a 1+1 Hot Standby link, further features are required when Receive Diversity is enabled. This is because the Ethernet Switch must bridge special Receive Diversity Ethernet Frames from the Inactive CMU to the Active CMU.
PAGE 160
Planning 1+1 Hot Standby links • Chapter 2: Planning considerations At the Ethernet Switch, configure the Receive Diversity VLAN for tagged operation. At the ingress, the ports in this VLAN must accept tagged frames which arrive with the Receive Diversity VID and forward them to the other port which is also a member of this VLAN. At the egress, the Ethernet Switch must NOT strip the Receive Diversity tag.

PTP 800 Series User Guide Planning 2+0 links Planning 2+0 links When planning 2+0 links, follow the process described in this section. Concept of a 2+0 link A 2+0 link consists of two independent 1+0 links which connect the same two sites and which share an antenna. The two 1+0 links must operate on different frequencies and so a separate license is generally required for each 1+0 link. The two 1+0 links are managed independently as two separate links.

Planning 2+0 links Chapter 2: Planning considerations IRFU 2+0 with single remote mount antenna Requires a length of elliptical waveguide dependant on the distance between the antenna and the IRFU (Figure 66). Requires waveguide dehydration accessories. The receiver coupling is internal to the IRFU. The IRFU may be purchased with equal or unequal coupling, the unequal coupling option provides a better link budget (nominally 6 dB) for the Primary transceivers.

PTP 800 Series User Guide Planning 2+0 links Network configurations for 2+0 In a 2+0 configuration, Link ‘A’ and Link ‘B’ are independent. Each CMU is connected to the network using one of the methods described in Network configurations for 1+0 on page 2-34. The two links may be managed in different ways, for example Link ‘A’ may be out-of-band and Link ‘B’ may be in-band.
