Ethernet Bridging • Single Gig-E User Traffic Interface:
– 100/1000 Base T interface, full duplex
– Optional SFP SX and LX Gig-E optical pluggable modules
• Jumbo Frame – up to 9600 bytes
• Enhanced QoS with eight priority queues and Strict Priority (SP)
scheduling; lower priority frames will not send until the higher priority
queue is empty, ensuring that higher-priority data is transmitted as
soon as possible
– 802.1p/1Q (served by 8 queues)
– 802.1ad (Q-in-Q)

Adaptive Coding and • PTP 800 radios support both Fixed Modulation and ACM
Modulation (ACM) • In the Fixed Modulation mode, you establish a modulation setting that
will remain unchanged.
• When ACM is enabled, the transmitter and receiver automatically
negotiate the highest mutually sustainable data rate. Then ACM
dynamically “up shifts” and “down shifts” the modulation and/or coding
rate as radio path conditions change. In this way, ACM provides the
maximum throughput and link availability possible for the radio path.
• You can set the highest and lowest modulation modes when ACM is
enabled.
• Easy to use, embedded ETSI/FCC regulations define the role of ACM
in the PTP 800’s installation wizard, so you don’t have to worry about
violating the license.
• ACM supports from QPSK to 256 QAM and provides the smoothest
change steps in the industry.
• “Errorless and Hitless” ACM means no service interruption as the
modulation and coding rate step from one level to another. Many
comparable systems incur outages of several seconds as the
modulation changes.
• Enhanced QoS control ensures that your high priority traffic passes
across the link without difficulty.
• Improved spectral efficiency results in more throughput over a given
channel bandwidth.

Technology All systems operating in a licensed frequency between 6 and 38 GHz are
line-of-sight (LOS) radios. To comply with licensing regulations, PTP 800
Licensed Ethernet Microwave radios are LOS systems and, as such, do
not share the same NLOS technology as the PTP 300, 500 and 600
Series bridges.

Robust Security • FIPS-197 128-bit and 256-Bit AES Encryption (separate purchase)
• Vulnerability scanning and resolution
• Diagnostic alarms such as:

Redundancy • Systems support 1+0, 1+1 and 2+0 configurations

• 1+1 hot standby redundancy provides full redundancy in the event of a
single CMU or ODU failure at one or both ends of a link.
• You can also achieve redundancy with 2+0 configuration deployed in
a ring/mesh configuration with two independent links and an external
switch.
• 1+0 configurations are non-redundant links. If redundancy is desired
after deployment, you can upgrade to a 1+1 or 2+0 redundant link and
use your existing hardware.

System Architecture • PTP 800 systems are designed with a split-mount architecture which
includes an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and a Compact Modem Unit (CMU).
• ODU and CMU are connected by a single IF cable.
• Where rack space is limited or non-existent, the CMU can be wall-
mounted or even set on a table.
• CMU is frequency and capacity independent and operates reliably in
temperatures from -27° to 131° F (-33° to 55° C).
• ODU is frequency dependent and operates reliably in the same
temperature range as the CMU.
• A typical 1+0 non-redundant PTP 800 link includes:
− 2 CMUs with a software key for the desired throughput capacity
− 2 ODUs for the frequency desired
− 2 Antennas
− IF cables
− 2 Coaxial cable assembly kits
− 2 PTP 800 LPU kits

2.3 PTP 800 COMPONENTS
The PTP 800 is designed with a split-mount architecture, which includes an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and a Compact
Modem Unit (CMU). The ODU and CMU are connected by a single IF cable. The PTP 800 Compact Modem
Unit (CMU) is frequency and capacity independent. Where rack space is at a premium, the CMU can be wall-
mounted or even placed on a table. Modem units will perform reliably in temperatures ranging from -27° to
o
+131° F (-33° to +55 C). Outdoor Mounting kits will be available in the future, allowing the CMU to be installed
outdoors.

Compact Modem Unit (CMU)

The PTP 800 ODU is frequency dependent and operates reliably in temperatures from -27° to +131° F (-33° to
o
+55 C). The ODU supports cold starts from -49° F (-45° C). After a cold start and before the ODU reaches the
desired operating temperature range, the service quality is not guaranteed.

2.4 CAPACITY-AS-YOU-GROW THROUGHPUT

Recognizing that demand for bandwidth to transport data, voice and video grows during the life of a network,
PTP 800 links allow you to purchase the throughput capacity you need today and increase your throughput
capacity when your requirements grow. This flexibility can reduce your initial capital expenditure by not having
to pay for tomorrow’s needs with today’s budget.
All PTP 800 Compact Modem Units are shipped with a factory-set 10 Mbps capacity CAP, meaning that
throughput will be restricted to a maximum of 10 Mbps at the user Ethernet port. The throughput capacity is
controlled by a software license key. If you need more than 10 Mbps, you can upgrade the throughput capacity
from 10 Mbps to 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300 Mbps or to full capacity (368 Mbps full duplex) without any
change to the hardware. It is important to note that the expected link capacity will be dependent on the
bandwidth that you license from the local regulatory agency.
Capacity cap upgrades can be purchased at the time of system order or anytime after deployment. Upgrades
can be accomplished in one step (such as 10 to 100 Mbps) or in two or more steps performed over time (such
as 10 to 20 Mbps, 20 to 50 Mbps and 50 to 200 Mbps). This flexibility allows you to match throughout capacity
to your developing demand and revenue stream.

11 of 36
When you purchase and activate a new throughput capacity-cap license key, the CMU will set the user Ethernet
throughput to the new throughput capacity cap without service interruption. PTP 800 links support throughput
upgrade options only. No downgrades are available.

2.5 ASYMMETRIC THROUGHPUT CONTROL

PTP 800 systems can be configured with different download and upload throughput capacities. This is very
useful for carriers and service providers whose customers download information much more than they upload.
In government and corporate enterprises, asymmetric throughput control is valuable for IP-based applications
such as video surveillance, product demonstrations, training, executive briefings and other activities where
users are primarily receiving and viewing information. PTP LINKPlanner will allow you to model asymmetric
data flow and orchestrate the desired balance between downstream and upstream throughput.

When configuring your PTP 800 link with asymmetric control, each CMU can have its own throughput capacity
cap. As an example, if you had a video surveillance link between a bank ATM and the bank’s security control
center, the CMU at the ATM video-camera end of the link might have a 200 Mbps capacity cap to transmit
streaming video to the security center. However, the CMU at the security control center might have a 10 Mbps
capacity cap because it is mostly receiving information and transmitting little data back to the video camera. In
this case, the bank could reduce its capital expenditure by not having to purchase 200 Mbps throughput
capacity at the security center’s end of the link.

2.6 ADAPTIVE CODING AND MODULATION

For microwave link design, fade margin is always calculated with respect to transmit power and the receiver
threshold level for a given Bit-Error Rate (BER), channel bandwidth and desired modulation mode. The radio
will meet expected performance and handle anything that affects the radio signal within the fade margin.
However, when the radio exceeds the desired fade margin, a radio link without Adaptive Coding and Modulation
(ACM) could go down and become unavailable.
PTP 800 radios support both Fixed Modulation and ACM. In the Fixed Modulation mode, you establish a
modulation setting that will remain unchanged. When ACM is chosen, the ACM feature will enable the
transmitter and receiver to negotiate the highest mutually sustainable data rate and dynamically “up shift” and
“down shift” the rate as radio path conditions change to provide the maximum throughput possible for the radio
path.
When a link’s Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) is high, typically during good weather conditions, the radio will “up
shift” to a higher modulation level and/or higher coding rate to improve the spectral efficiency and provide more
end-user throughput. Conversely, when the link’s SNR value falls below a threshold, typically during heavy rain,
the radio will “down shift” to a lower modulation level and/or lower coding rate. Because of the improvement in
receive sensitivity and transmit power, the link budget will be improved, and the link will continue to operate.
With Adaptive Modulation and enhanced QoS control, high-priority traffic (such as voice or real-time services)
will still pass the link while only low priority traffic is dropped during the rain fade event.
The PTP 800’s ACM supports from QPSK to 256 QAM and provides exceptionally smooth throughput change
steps from one level to the next. The benefits of ACM include:
• Virtually no service interruption – errorless modulation and coding changes
• Improved spectral efficiency, resulting in more throughput over a given channel bandwidth
• Improved link availability during severe link degradation
• More modulation steps and the most smooth step changes in the industry
• Enhanced QoS control to ensure that high priority traffic is not impacted during link fading
Typically, other vendors’ products need several seconds to adjust the modulation mode which causes outages
to switch from one modulation mode to another. In the PTP 800, we use a Hitless algorithm with zero down time
– similar to the technology that has been widely used in the PTP 300, 500 and 600 Series products.

12 of 36
The Adaptive Modulation in PTP 800 bridges will shift through eight modulation profiles from QPSK to 256
QAM. Each modulation profile has approximately a 3 dB interval on the link budget. The shift of modulation
profile is extremely fast and can cope with channel fades up to 100 dB per second. As an example, let’s
consider a radio planned for 100 Mbps using a 28 MHz channel with 32 QAM. On a sunny day, the radio’s
Adaptive Modulation capability will “up shift” to 256 QAM with 180 Mbps throughput available to you. When the
received SNR falls below the threshold, the system will preemptively “down shift” to 128 QAM, and your
throughput will change to 156 Mbps. If the weather turns stormy, fade intensifies and the link budget is not
sufficient to maintain 128 QAM, the radio may “down shift” to a more robust lower modulation.

For a link designed with 99.999% availability, the downtime for the link in a year could be five minutes. With
ACM, a PTP 800 radio can “down shift” step-by-step and reach QPSK during extreme conditions, extending the
link availability beyond 99.999%. With ACM and the PTP 800’s enhanced QoS control, high priority voice and
data traffic will not be impacted even during severe weather conditions. When using Adaptive Modulation, the
PTP 800 maximizes the spectral efficiency and improves link capacity and availability, while enabling you to
significantly reduce your CAPEX.

2.7 FAST ETHERNET SHUTDOWN (FES) AND LAYER 2 CONTROL PROTOCOL

CLASSIFICATION
PTP 800 radios can recognize all bridge frames as well as Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) and
Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) frames. You can prioritize these frames using the PTP 800’s enhanced
Quality of Service (QoS) control which has eight priority levels. In addition, the PTP 800 supports FES features.
When you enable FES, the PTP 800 will shutdown the Ethernet port at both ends of a link within 50 ms should a
radio link failure occur in either direction. With the PTP 800’s Layer 2 control protocol classification support and
FES feature operating together with ITU-G.8032 or Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), you can achieve the
lowest possible switch-over time in a Ring/Mesh configuration and enable faster traffic re-routing.

2.10 BAND PLAN

For licensed bands from 6 ~ 38 GHz, the frequency channel spacing plans are defined by ITU-R and CEPT in a
series of recommendations. The per-band recommendation given in standard ETSI EN 302 207 is referred to as
“ETSI” in this document, and the per-band recommendation given in standard Part 101-147 is referred to as

2.11 PTP 800 1+0 NON-REDUNDANT CONFIGURATION
When deploying a 1+0 non-redundant link, you can install the equipment in a direct mount or remote mount
configuration as shown below. 1+0 non-redundant links are excellent solutions for applications where you would
not incur significant consequences in the event of a hardware failure and subsequent communication outage.
Should you deploy a non-redundant link and later want to achieve redundancy, you can easily upgrade your link
to 1+1 or 2+0 and continue to use your existing equipment

1+0 Direct Mount 1+0 Remote Mount

2.12 PTP 800 1+1 HSB REDUNDANT CONFIGURATION

In a 1+1 configuration, you will install two ODUs and two CMUs at each end of the link. If a hardware failure
occurs the secondary unit will automatically take control of the communications until repairs are completed. In
this configuration, your ODUs can share the same antenna or be deployed with two antennas.

1+1 Direct Mount 1+1 Remote Mount

18 of 36
2.13 PTP 800 2+0 RING/MESH CONFIGURATION
Because 2+0 systems are deployed with two independent links, this configuration can provide hardware
redundancy plus added throughput capacity. In 2+0 configurations, you need to supply your own external
switch. The Ring/Mesh architecture requires N+1 links to achieve redundant link diversity for each location. This
configuration can lower your network cost as compared with the 1+1 Hot Standby architecture which requires
equipment for two radio links in each location.

The benefits of using a Ring/Mesh configuration include:

• Lower equipment cost for a network with multiple nodes when compared with 1+1 Hot Standby
• Reduced hop length which can mean reduced antenna size
• Diversified link path which eliminates path fade issues when compared with 1+1 Hot Standby
• Easy and flexible options for network expansion

The drawbacks for a Ring/Mesh configuration include:

• Requires a higher capacity link because of link aggregation
• Switch-over time for traffic re-routing

3.0 CONFIGURATION AND ORDERING
3.1 ORDERING THE PTP 800
There are several key issues involved in configuring and ordering a PTP 800 system.

STEP 1: PLAN AND OPTIMIZE LINKS

To begin, you should complete a site survey. Both a physical and a radio-frequency analysis of the area
should be conducted to evaluate:
• Availability and height of antenna-supporting structures,
• Existence of foliage and other obstructions,
• Environmental and seasonal issues,
• Spectrum analysis for the path at desired and alternate frequencies
• Anticipated changes in path conditions.
Then you can use the PTP LINKPlanner tool to plan and optimize a single link or multiple links based on
your specific applications and path requirements. PTP LINKPlanner greatly decreases the amount of time
required to accurately predict PTP 800 link performance prior to purchase given certain assumptions about
geography, distance, antenna height, transmit power and other factors. By changing input data, you can
conduct “what if’ scenarios and instantly see the effect on performance. For example, if a link calculation
projects low throughput, then a number of factors can be changed to improve throughput. You’re your have
optimized the link to meet your requirements, LINKPlanner will provide vital information that can be given to
your licensing agent to assist in completing the licensing application
Note: Path calculations for PTP 800 systems can be performed only with the PTP LINKPlanner. For that
reason, you will want to attend one of the scheduled live or on-demand recorded tutorials to begin using this
tool as soon as possible. You can obtain a schedule of live sessions and register for a session at
motorola.com/ptp.

STEP 2: IDENTIFY AVAILABLE LICENSED FREQUENCIES

After a PTP 800 system is configured, you will need to contact a local licensing agent for assistance in
determining the RF bands available. The licensing agent will survey existing license holders to determine if
the customer’s desired band will conflict with any of the existing licenses. When none of the license holders
objects, you can apply for the license in the desired RF band.

STEP 3: RECEIVE YOUR LICENSE OR PCN (PRIOR COORDINATION NOTIFICATION)

After applying for your license, you will receive your license or PCN. It is important to note that you should
not order your PTP 800 equipment until you have confirmation from your local regulatory agency indicating
the frequency under which you will be operating. That way you will not order the wrong link components.

STEP 4: CONFIGURE YOUR LINK AND OBTAIN A BOM

After you have confirmation of the license frequency, use PTP LINKPlanner to configure your link. Once the
link is configured to your requirements, the system will provide a detailed performance report that can be
used to guide your installers through a speedy deployment. Simultaneously, LINKPlanner compiles a
complete licensed-microwave Bill of Materials (BOM) to streamline the purchasing process.

STEP 5: ORDER YOUR PTP 800 SYSTEM

At this point, you can order your PTP 800 system using the BOM supplied by LINKPlanner. A typical order
will include many components for each link being ordered. All CMU’s are factory configured with a 10-Mbps
throughput capacity cap. However, the modem units will support throughput speeds from 10 Mbps to full
capacity (368 Mbps full duplex). The user Ethernet-port throughput is controlled by a software license key,
so CMU’s can be upgraded to 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 150, 200, 300 Mbps or full capacity at order time or
anytime after shipment and deployment.

3.2 INSTALLATION

When ordering PTP 800 links, there are a few installation issues that need to be addressed to ensure that your
order contains all the materials you will need for deployment. It is important to remember that the antenna must
be fitted with a PTP 800 ODU proprietary interface as shown in the following illustrations.

DIRECT MOUNT 1+0

In a direct mount configuration, the ODU is attached via clips directly to the antenna which is fitted with a
Motorola ODU interface.

POLARIZATION
6 and 11-32 GHz: Polarization depends on the antenna waveguide position. To change polarization, refer to the
antenna installation procedure. The ODU rectangular waveguide interface must always be in alignment with the
antenna waveguide input/output.
7, 8 and 38 GHz: Polarization depends only on the ODU position. For vertical polarization, make sure the arrow
on the ODU cover is vertical. For horizontal polarization, turn the ODU 90 degrees.

Horizontal Polarization Vertical Polarization

21 of 36
REMOTE MOUNT 1+0
For a remote mount configuration, the ODU is attached to the pole with an ODU Remote Mount Kit (RMK), and
a waveguide is required to connect with the antenna.

ODU COUPLER MOUNTING KIT

An ODU coupler-mounting kit is required for a 1+1 or 2+0 configuration (two links sharing the same antenna but
running on different channels). The ODU coupler mounting kit supports direct mounting, using an Andrew-
customized single-polarization antenna with a Motorola interface.

The ODU coupler mounting kit can also be remote mounted with the ODU remote mounting kit. Two different
couplers are available: Symmetric 3 dB coupler and Asymmetric 6 dB coupler.

22 of 36
CABLE INSTALLATION
A single IF coaxial cable is used to connect the ODU to the CMU:
• Up to 190 meters (623 ft): Andrew CNT400 cable or equivalent
• Up to 300 meters (984 ft): LMR600 cable or equivalent
Andrew CNT400 braided cable with the cable assembly kit and lightning protection kit can be ordered directly
from Motorola. The cable assembly kit includes:
• 1 x ODU Grounding Cable – 800 mm (Andrew GND-PTP 800)
• 2 x LPU grounding cable - 800 mm (Andrew GND-PTP 800)
• 1 x ODU to LPU Cable – 700 mm (Andrew C195-NMNM-M5)
• 2 x Cable Grounding Kit (Andrew 223158-2)
• 4 x N-type Connectors for the drop cable (Andrew 400PNM-CS8)
• 1 x Vinyl Insulating Tape and 1 x Self Amalgamating tape (Andrew WK-CNT)
• 50 x Tie Wraps (Andrew 40417)
• 1 x Instruction Sheet
• 1 x Packing List
The Polyphaser BGXZ series Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) is recommended for a PTP 800 installation. The
LPU kit includes:
• 2 x Polyphaser BGXZ surge protection unit
• 1 x Mounting kit for the surge protection unit

4.5 COMPETITION – THE PTP 800 VERSUS THE COMPETITION.
There are many competitors offering licensed microwave solutions today, and our PTP 800 is a relatively new
entrant into this market. Competition worldwide includes Alcatel-Lucent, Ceragon, DragonWave, Ericsson,
Exalt, Harris Stratex, Huawei, NEC, Nera, Nokia Siemens, Sagem, SM and Trangobroadband. Details about
competitors’ information can be found at http://compass.mot.com/go/327595290

PTP 800 COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

• Higher Capacity: The PTP 800 enables faster communications for bandwidth-intensive applications such
as streaming video, Voice-over-IP and multimedia.

• More Scalability: Because we offer a greater number of throughput capacity caps, you have more
flexibility to configure throughput for the immediate applications while providing growth for future
requirements. At the same time, this extraordinary scalability can decrease the initial capital expenditure by
not having to pay for tomorrow’s needs with today’s budget.

• Errorless and Hitless ACM: You have the flexibility to operate in a Fixed Modulation mode or to utilize
ACM. When ACM is enabled, the system will adjust modulation and/or coding rates to provide the highest
throughput and availability based on path conditions. As ACM steps from one modulation to another, PTP
800 systems will experience no service interruption, while most comparable systems incur outages as the
radios change modulation. In addition, we embed ETSI/FCC regulation rules for ACM into the PTP 800’s
installation wizard. So, there is never a worry about license violation. Most comparable systems do not give
the ACM mode details in their systems. As a result, the operator has to figure it out or hope that, if they are
in violation of the license agreement, they don’t get caught.

• Asymmetric Throughput Control: With asymmetric throughput control, you can assign different
throughput capacities to the up and down links based on individual traffic patterns – a feature that is not
available in many comparable systems.

• Superior Link Planning Capabilities: The PTP LINKPlanner lets you plan and optimize links prior to
purchase so there are no surprises when the system is deployed. Once a link is optimized to the
requirements, LINKPlanner provides a detailed performance report that accurately predicts the link’s
performance and speeds deployment. In addition, LINKPlanner compiles a complete licensed-microwave
BOM to simplify ordering procedures. PTP LINKPlanner is the most comprehensive licensed-microwave link
planning and optimization tool and a huge time-saver.

• End-to-End Network Management: You have great flexibility to manage links either locally or remotely
and to integrate PTP 800 management functions easily with existing Web or SNMP-based network
management systems. In addition, our Wireless Manager software offers a common set of tools that greatly
simplify management functions and reduce management man-hours. Wireless Manager’s unified view of
the wireless network allows operators to respond to problems faster and more easily.

coding changes
PTP 800 ODUs are PTP-optimized third-party devices
that have been in successful operation for a long time.
The CMU is designed by the same engineering team that
developed the PTP 300, 500 and 600 systems and is
fully field tested. In addition, PTP 800 solutions are
backed by the full resources of our company.
PTP 800 radios are optimized for easy, fast deployment
and have an intuitive user interface to simplify
operations. If your staff needs assistance with the first
deployments, we offer training on how to design, install,
manage and operate PTP 800 links. In addition, we can
assist you with licensing coordination if desired.
Our PTP LINKPlanner allows you to plug in the variables
for your specific system requirements, perform link
calculations and receive precise performance projections
prior to purchase. Thousands of systems have been
planned and configured using the PTP LINKPlanner tool,
and the accuracy of performance projections has proven
to be extraordinarily reliable.

5.0 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. WHAT IS THE “FULL CAPACITY” OF THE PTP 800 BRIDGE?

Full capacity is the maximum throughput that can be achieved over a specific PTP 800 link via the user
Ethernet port. Currently, full capacity for PTP 800 systems is 368 Mbps full-duplex.

2. WHAT IS A “THROUGHPUT CAPACITY CAP?”

The throughput capacity cap sets the maximum available throughput at the user Ethernet port to a
specific number of megabytes-per-second. Because throughput and bandwidth requirements continue to
increase, we give you the flexibility to purchase the throughput capacity needed today and increase
throughput capacity as requirements increase. This flexibility can help to reduce your initial capital
expenditure because you don’t have to pay for tomorrow’s needs with today’s budget. We call this
“capacity-as-you-grow” throughput. Once a specific throughput capacity cap is purchased, the system
will provide throughput up to that set capacity cap as long as regulatory conditions permit. As an
example, if you want to achieve up to 40 Mbps throughput today, you can purchase a system with a 40-
Mbps throughput capacity cap, and your system would operate at speeds up to 40 Mbps. If you need
100 Mbps two years later, you could quickly and easily upgrade your system by purchasing a license
key for an additional 60 Mbps of throughput capacity. When you want to upgrade capacity, no change to
the hardware will be required, added capacity will become available immediately when the software
license key is activated, and your link will experience no outage during the upgrade.

3. DOES THE PTP 800 UTILIZE THE SAME NLOS TECHNOLOGY AS THE PTP 300, 500 AND 600
SOLUTIONS?
Because the PTP 800 is a licensed microwave system, it is engineered to meet the regulations of the
various licensing agencies such as the FCC in the U.S. and ETSI in Europe. Therefore, the PTP 800 is not
based on the same combination of technologies – MIMO, intelligent OFDM, intelligent DFS – as the PTP
300, 500 and 600 Series systems. By regulation, PTP 800 systems and all comparable licensed microwave
systems operate only in a line-of-sight environment.
4. DO ALL PTP 800 SYSTEMS HAVE TO UTILIZE ADAPTIVE MODULATION AND CODING?
PTP 800 solutions allow you to configure your systems to operate in a Fixed Modulation mode or in an
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) mode. Certain organizations such as carriers may choose to
operate in the Fixed Modulation mode and can set the system to operate at a predetermined modulation
level. However, ACM can provide performance benefits for many enterprises with IP-based applications.
When ACM is enabled, the transmitter and receiver will automatically negotiate the highest mutually
sustainable data rate, then dynamically “up shift” and “down shift” the modulation and/or coding rate as
radio path conditions change to provide the maximum throughput and availability for the path conditions.
5. WHAT ARE THE SPECIFICS OF THE SECURITY IN PTP 800 BRIDGES?
We recommend that over-the-air transmissions be secured using FIPS-197-compliant 128-bit or 256-bit
AES encryption (optional). There is a one-time licensing fee to implement AES encryption on a PTP 800
system. Using commercially available tools, we regularly scan PTP solutions for vulnerabilities. Then
vulnerabilities are evaluated and those that pose significant risk are resolved. When abnormal conditions
are detected, a number of diagnostic messages can be sent such as disabled wireless or fiber link, disabled
data port, change in wireless or fiber link status and change in TDD status. Our “save and restore” feature
allows you to backup the operating configuration. Then you can restore the unit’s configuration if needed. At
the time the configuration file is restored, the system will validate the integrity of the configuration file and
alert you to any changes to the file.
6. DO PTP 800 SYSTEMS OPERATE IN A NON-LINE-OF-SIGHT ENVIRONMENT?
Licensing regulations specify that all licensed microwave radios must operate in a line-of-sight condition.
Neither the PTP 800 nor comparable systems communicate over obstructed paths.

7. DO ANY OF THE PTP 800 MODELS HAVE INTEGRATED ANTENNAS?
All PTP 800 systems require external antennas as do comparable licensed microwave systems. A list of
compatible antennas is provided in the PTP 800 Ordering Guide which is available at motorola.com/ptp
8. HOW DOES A PTP 800 SOLUTION FUNCTION WITH THE REST OF MY NETWORK?
PTP 800 systems are IP-based systems that are engineered and MEF9 certified to integrate easily with
your existing Ethernet network infrastructure as well as the other systems in our Wireless Network

o Visually-enhanced network management
o RFMS for robust WLAN management
o AirDefense for active wireless intrusion protection
9. WHAT IS A 1+0 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION?
In the licensed microwave arena, a 1+0 system means that the system is not redundant and does not offer
hot standby capability in the event of an equipment failure. If you encounter a hardware failure with a 1+0
configuration, the link will incur an outage until repairs are made.
10. HOW CAN I ACHIEVE REDUNDANCY ON A PTP 800 SYSTEM?
You have two options for achieving redundancy. You can configure the system as a 1+1 hot standby link.
With this configuration, the secondary unit will switch over and take control of communications in the event
of a single ODU or CMU at one or both ends of a link. You can also achieve redundancy in a ring/mesh
configuration by deploying a 2+0 link configuration with two PTP 800 systems operating simultaneously.
This configuration requires that you supply an external switch to perform the switch-over if you incur a
hardware failure.
11. WHAT IS MEF (METRO ETHERNET FORUM) CERTIFICATION?
MEF certification lets you know that the equipment receiving this certification is interoperable with other
equipment in today’s multi-service networks. PTP 800 equipment has been tested and MEF9 certified as
compliant with the MEF’s essential specifications.
