Page 49: Path Loss Considerations
6.1.3 Path Loss Considerations The path loss is the amount of attenuation the radio signal undergoes between the two ends of the link. 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).
Page 50: Aggregate Ethernet Throughput Rate V Maximum Link Loss
The equipment capability is given in Table 6 and Table 7. These tables give the Ethernet throughput rate versus link loss for PTP 600 Series Bridge in all modes. Adaptive modulation will ensure that the highest throughput that can be achieved instantaneously will be obtained taking account of propagation and interference.
Page 51: Table 7 - 5.8Ghz Aggregate Ethernet Throughput Rate Versus Maximum Link Loss
Table 7 - 5.8GHz Aggregate Ethernet throughput rate versus maximum link loss The full calculation is relatively complicated and thus Motorola has supplied a link estimator that calculates the radio propagation and reliability of NLOS links using the PTP 600 Series Bridge equipment.

8.3.7 Spectrum Management Spectrum Management Selection is the PTP 600 Series Bridge feature that monitors the available wireless spectrum and directs both ends of the wireless link to operate on a channel with a minimum level of co-channel and adjacent channel interference.
Page 119: Wireless Channels
8.3.7.1 Wireless Channels The PTP 600 Series Bridge operates using a set of predefined overlapping channels. There are a different number of channels, depending on the raster mode selected. Each channel occupies 30 MHz of wireless spectrum and is offset in center frequency from its neighboring channel by 10 MHz.
Page 120: The Spectrum Management Master / Slave Relationship
Peak of Means is the largest mean interference measurement encountered during the quantization period. The peak of means is similar to the peak of peaks and is useful for detecting slightly longer duration spikes in the interference environment. 99.9% Percentile of the Means is the value of mean interference measurement which 99.9% of all mean measurements fall below, during the quantization period.
Page 121: Figure 61 - Spectrum Management As Seen From The Master
All configuration changes are applied at the master only. These changes are then messaged from the master to the slave. Any Spectrum Management configuration messages received at the slave are stored in non-volatile memory. This enables both master and slave to keep identical copies of Spectrum Management configuration data in their non-volatile memories.

Page 128: Spectrum Management (Fixed Frequency And Wimax)
8.3.8 Spectrum Management (Fixed Frequency and WIMAX) The PTP 600 Series Bridge software allows a user to optionally fix transmit and receive frequencies for a wireless link. Once configured, the spectrum management software will not attempt to move the wireless link to a channel with lower co and adjacent channel interference.
Page 129 Channel barring is disabled in fixed frequency mode; it is not required as dynamic channel hopping is prohibited in this mode. The only controls available to the master are the Statistics Window and Interference Threshold attributes. They will have no effect on the operation of the wireless link and will only effect the generation of the channel spectrum graphics.

Page 188: Completing The Installation
13.8.10 Completing the Installation The installation should be completed by checking all mounting nuts bolts and screws, securing all cables and weatherproofing the installation. Warning: Finally tightening the antenna mountings may cause the antenna alignment to be altered, due to distortion in the mounting bracket caused by action of tightening. It is recommended that the installation tone be left turned on (armed) during this process so that any movement can be noticed and counteracted by tightening the other side of the bracket.
Page 189: Figure 107 - Weatherproofing The Antenna Connections
All joints should be weatherproofed using self-amalgamating tape. It is recommended that a layer of PVC tape be placed over the self-amalgamating tape to protect the joint while the self-amalgamating tape cures and gives additional protection. Figure 107 shows this diagrammatically for the 600 Series bridge end of the antenna cables.

Page 212: Aes Encryption Upgrade
FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information. Link Encryption is not available in the standard PTP 600 Series system. A license key to enable link encryption can be purchased from your Motorola Point-to-Point Distributor or Solutions Provider.
Page 213: Configuring Link Encryption
After purchasing AES encryption for the PTP 600 Series wireless link, two new license keys will be issued, one for each end of the wireless link. The following configuration process gives a step by step guide to enabling AES link encryption on a PTP 600 Series bridge. 16.1.1 License Keys The first step when configuring link encryption is to enter the new license keys in both 600 Series wireless units.
Page 214 Figure 134 shows the license key data entry screen. This screen can only be accessed by the system administrator. If you do not have access to the PTP 600 Series system administration pages then please contact your designated system administrator.
Page 215: Encryption Mode And Key
16.1.2 Encryption Mode and Key Entering the license keys only does not initialize AES link encryption. Link encryption can only be enabled via the Configuration or Installation Wizard pages. Motorola recommends that the Configuration page Figure 135 be used to configure AES link encryption.

Page 226: Faqs
Why has Motorola launched the 600 Series bridge? The 600 Series bridge is the first product in this band to feature Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO). The PTP 600 Series solutions allow wireless connections of up to 200km (124 miles) in near line-of-sight conditions and up to 10km (6 miles) in deep non-line-of-sight conditions.
Page 227 How does the PTP 600 Series Bridge avoid interference from other devices nearby? At initialization, the 600 Series bridge monitors the available frequency channels to find a channel that is clear of interference.
Page 228 How will my investment be protected as new features are developed? Future enhancements can be downloaded to the unit, meaning advances in technology or changes in regulations can quickly be applied to the system without any further hardware investment.
