Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide 2 Product Description Canopy 400 Series adds OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) products to the Canopy family.

- Page 8 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide Figure 3: LOS, nLOS, and NLOS Whereas multipathing degrades a link in some technologies, like FSK, OFDM can often use multi- pathing to advantage to overcome nLOS and NLOS, especially in cases where the Fresnel zone is only partially blocked by buildings, “urban canyons”, or foliage.

Page 12: Planning
Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide 3 Planning Canopy 400 Series products 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 13 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide service area and using one of the many radio analysis and mapping tools or on-line calculation tools for calculating downtilt. WEATHER RADAR Spectrum between 5600 and 5650 MHz (sometimes called the “weather notch”) is used by some weather radar and is not allowed for use by regulations in some regions, including Canada and, for new equipment, Europe.
- Page 14 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide 3.5.2 Frame Calculations and Configuration Settings Interference between collocated Canopy systems can be avoided by following two practices: 1. Use a CMM. This synchronizes frame start, so that all collocated APs begin transmitting at the same time each 2.5 millisecond frame.

Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide 4 Configuring Most Canopy Series 400 configuration items are identical or very similar to configuration items in standard FSK Canopy modules. This section will discuss those that are new or changed and also remark on some that remain unchanged. - Page 16 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide Figure 4: Dynamic Rate Adapt on AP "Configuration => General" page In most cases, an operator is well-served to leave the setting at 1X/2X/3X and let the system automatically and dynamically choose the best rate for each link. Cases when it may be useful to lock down a link to 1X include Some aiming and alignment efforts, although usually aiming and alignment and link •...

To meet 27 dBm EIRP with the 17 dBi antenna that comes with the 5400AP, the maximum setting allowed is 10 dBm (the default) since 27-17=10.

Page 19: Table 4: Release 8.4 Operation Based On Region Code
Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide 4.4.1 Background and Operation The modules use region-specific DFS based on a new “Region Code” selected on the module’s “Configuration => General” page. By directing installers and technicians to set the Region Code correctly, the operator gains confidence the module is operating according to national or regional regulations, without having to deal with the details for each region. - Page 20 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide detected during this minute, the module then proceeds to normal beacon transmit mode. If it does detect a radar signature, the frequency is marked for a 30 minute non-occupancy period, and the module moves to its 1 alternate carrier frequency.
- Page 21 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide IMPORTANT! Operators under regulatory requirements for DFS must ensure the new Canopy parameter “Region Code” is set correctly. This applies to initial configuration, after a module is reset to factory defaults, or after a module is upgraded.
- Page 22 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide An SM has both a configurable Region Code and, once it registers to an AP, an active Region Code. After an SM registers to an AP, it uses the Region of the AP to determine its DFS behavior and displays the AP’s Region Code on its Home =>...
- Page 23 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide The AP always operates under its manually configured Region Code (the one on the Configuration => General page), and so does not show a Region Code on its Home => General Status page.

- Page 30 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide Figure 9: Ground lug highlighted on AP Unlike standard Canopy APs, the Canopy 400 Series AP have metal-to-metal contact from the tower or support structure, through the antenna, through the coax cable, to the radio. Due to this, to provide the best protection from near lightning hits, it is strongly recommended to install surge suppression at the AP.
- Page 31 Canopy 400 Series OFDM AP and SM User Guide The Canopy 400 Series SM has a ground/Protective Earth lug, just like the AP. Although not as critical as in the case of the AP (where there is metal-to-metal connectivity through the coax and antenna to ground), the lug can be used to ground the SM for additional protection.
