2 Installing the NAP and the CAP
APCD-LM011-A 11
2.1.2 Setting up your Backhaul Equipment
The type of backhaul equipment for your site depends on the following conditions:
• expected traffic load
• available backhaul infrastructure
• distance between the CAP and the NAP
The backhaul can be either a wired connection to the NAP or a connection through an external
unit that provides a transparent connection at the Ethernet Layer 2 transport.
TIP:
The WaveRider NCL line of wireless routers
provides a cost-effective solution to establish a wireless
backhaul solution.
CAP to NAP Backhaul
on page 11 shows a simple backhaul configuration.

NOTE:
Because the backhaul can be configured in many different ways,
provisioning a backhaul interface for the LMS3200 requires
application engineering. For information on WaveRider backhaul
equipment, contact your
