Using the correct power supply Always use the Motorola Power over Ethernet injector unit (PoE power supply) or Powered Indoor Unit (PIDU Plus) to power the ODU. Failure to use the correct power supply could result in equipment damage and will invalidate the safety certification and may cause a safety hazard.
Page 4 Non-Motorola power supply Safety may be compromised if a different power supply is used than the one supplied by Motorola as part of the system. Drop cable tester The drop cable tester must NEVER be used at the ODU end connected to power from the PoE power supply.
Page 5: Important Regulatory Information
Failure to follow this could leave the installer and/or user liable to civil and/or criminal penalties. Contact the Motorola helpdesk if you are unsure about any specific areas where you need guidance.
Page 6 FCC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been demonstrated to the FCC. In order to comply with these clear FCC requirements for all manufacturers, Motorola is releasing variants of PTP 250 for USA or Canada operation. These new devices will only be allowed to operate in accordance with FCC/IC rules.

Page 45: Wireless Operation
PTP 250 User Guide Wireless operation Wireless operation This section describes how PTP 250 wireless links are operated, including modulation modes, power control and security. Wireless Transmissions The PTP 250 uses Time Division Duplexing (TDD) transmission, which means that a single frequency channel is used for both Transmit and Receive.
Page 46: Mimo
Wireless operation Chapter 1: Product description PTP LINKPlanner includes an estimate of mean data rate, the data rate provided by each modulation and the percentage of time spent in each modulation mode. MIMO Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) techniques provide protection against fading and increase the probability that the receiver will decode a usable signal.
Page 47: Radar Avoidance
PTP 250 User Guide Wireless operation Radar avoidance In regions where protection of radars is part of the local regulations, the PTP 250 must detect interference from radar-like systems and avoid co-channel operation with these systems. To meet this requirement, the PTP 250 implements the following features: ETSI regulations The regulations have radar detection requirements for both master and slave devices.
Page 48: Security
Wireless operation Chapter 1: Product description The requirements for a slave device are: • The slave device can only transmit after receiving a transmission from its associated master to demonstrate that the channel is an available channel. • The slave device is required to vacate the channel when the master device has detected a radar signal.

Regulatory planning Chapter 2: Planning considerations Regulatory planning This section describes how to plan PTP 250 links to conform to the regulatory restrictions that apply in the country of operation. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the PTP product is operated in accordance with local regulatory limits.
Page 59: Conforming To The Limits
PTP 250 User Guide Regulatory planning Conforming to the limits When a new PTP 250 unit is first accessed via the web interface, the user is required to select the Country Code from a list. Generally, the PTP 250 firmware does not allow the unit to be configured to operate outside the regulatory limits that apply to the selected country.
Page 60: Frequency Selection
Regulatory planning Chapter 2: Planning considerations Frequency selection The PTP 250 fully conforms to regional regulatory requirements for radar avoidance. In regions that mandate DFS, the unit first ensures that there is no radar activity on a given channel for a period of 60 seconds before radiating on that channel. Once a channel has been selected for operation, the unit will continually monitor for radar activity on the operating channel.

Page 66: Link Planning
When higher gain connectorized antennas are used, reduce the transmit power to ensure that the receiver signal level does not exceed -20 dBm. PTP LINKPlanner The Motorola PTP LINKPlanner software and user guide may be downloaded from http://www.motorola.com/ptp/support. PTP LINKPlanner imports path profiles and predicts data rates and reliability over the path.
Page 67: Path Loss Considerations
PTP 250 User Guide Link planning Path loss considerations Path loss is the amount of attenuation the radio signal undergoes between the two ends of the link. Calculating path loss The path loss is the sum of the attenuation of the path if there were no obstacles in the way (Free Space Path Loss), the attenuation caused by obstacles (Excess Path Loss) and a margin to allow for possible fading of the radio signal (Fade Margin).

When to install connectorized units The majority of radio links can be successfully deployed with the integrated PTP 250. However the integrated units may not be sufficient in some areas, for example: •...
Page 69: Calculating Maximum Power Level For Connectorized Units
PTP 250 User Guide Planning for connectorized units Calculating maximum power level for connectorized units If a connectorized PTP 250 link is to be installed in a country that imposes an EIRP limit in the 5.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz band, choose an external antenna and RF cable that will not cause the PTP 250 to exceed the EIRP limit.
Page 70: Calculating Rf Cable Length (5.8 Ghz Fcc Only)
Planning for connectorized units Chapter 2: Planning considerations Calculating RF cable length (5.8 GHz FCC only) The 5.8 GHz band FCC approval for the product is based on tests with a cable loss between the ODU and antenna of not less than 1.2 dB. If cable loss is below 1.2 dB with a 6 ft diameter external antenna, the connectorized PTP 250 may exceed the maximum radiated spurious emissions allowed under FCC 5.8 GHz rules.
