RF Review
The following concepts were covered in CPT100. Consult CPT100 Student Guide or Appendix A for additional information:
RF Environment Considerations, such as attenuation, earth curvature, Fresnel Zone clearance and reflection/ multipath. Line of sight, near line of sight, non line of sight. Power output of modules. Frequency planning.

36
RF Review: Fresnel Zone

Method of calculating the amount of clearance needed so that wireless waves are not attenuated
Calculation depends on signal wavelength, total path length and distance to the obstacle
At least 60 percent of the Fresnel Zone must be clear for most Canopy modules to establish links Canopy 900 MHz modules, PTP400 and PTP600 products allow for near and nonLOS transmission; links must be tested.
37
RF Review: Fresnel Zone Examples
Each example has clear visual line-of-sight, but not radio line-of-sight. The signal will be attenuated, because the Fresnel Zone is obstructed.

38
RF Review: Collocating Units

APs and PTP100 BHM modules can be collocated on the same tower observing the following rules:
APs and BHM modules should be on different bands If modules are in the same band, they must be vertically separated by a minimum of 100 feet (30 meters). If an RF shield were deployed between the modules, then the vertical separation could be reduced. All Canopy AP and BHM modules, even those belonging to a competitor, must be synchronized by a CMM.
APs or BHMs cannot be collocated with SMs or BHSs on single band operation.
39
RF & Canopy: Collocating Units

APs and PTP400 or PTP600 backhauls can be collocated on the same tower observing the following rules:
If same band, separate APs and the BH units by 100 feet (30 meters) vertically. When the AP and the BH are in the same band, separate the frequencies as much as possible.
For example, use 5735, 5755 and 5775 MHz for the Canopy 5.7 GHz AP modules. Select 5800, 5806, 5812, 5818, 5824, 5830, 5836 and 5842 for the PTP400 or PTP600 backhaul modules. Ensure there is at least 25 MHz separation between adjacent AP and BH frequencies.
40
RF Review: Channel Planning 900 MHz; 2.4, 5.2 and 5.4 GHz
Select three non-overlapping frequencies for Access Point clusters Assume 8 MHz channel separation for 900 MHz systems Assume 20 MHz channel separation for 2.4, 5.2 and 5.4 GHz (or 25 MHz if implementing 2x, or 4-level, Advantage signaling) The 5.4 GHz band offers 11 nonoverlapping channels; Canopy still recommends you use 3 per cluster. Each of these frequencies can be used twice in a cluster, shown here.
906 924 2.4150 2.4575 2.435 2.435 2.4575 5.275 5.325 5.485 5.535 5.510 5.510 5.535 5.300 5.300 5.325 915 906 915 924

41
RF Review: Channel Planning 5.7 GHz

5.7 GHz provides six non-overlapping ISM/U-NII frequencies for configuring Access Points, assuming a channel separation of 20 MHz for 1x (2-level) signaling. Canopy recommends 25 MHz spacing for 2x (4-level) signaling used with Advantage.

42
RF Planning All Multipoint Sites

Plan all Access Point clusters with the identical layout of three non-overlapping frequencies. Point the same frequencies 180 away from each other to minimize interference. For example, 5.745 is at twelve and six oclock. Maintain the same frequencies in the same sectors for all clusters in the network (see example on next slide).
5.745 5.785 5.765 5.745 5.765 5.785

Line of sight issues? Security required (AES vs. DES)

Point-to-Multipoint
48
Identify General Requirements Performance Considerations

What is the geographic area to be covered? How many subscribers will be served? What is the terrain? What man-made and natural obstacles exist (trees, buildings, bodies of water)? What other microwave radio services may present a source of RF interference to your proposed wireless network?
Telco point-to-point relays Competitive wireless service providers Pager network modules (900 MHz)
Step 1
49
Identify General Requirements Physical Considerations

What types of structures will be required to provide wireless network service to your proposed customer base? What are the power requirements for the proposed installation? What type of applications over the wireless link will be required?
Data Voice Video
Step 1
All of these items must be considered when designing a wireless network

50
Conduct Potential Site Assessments Begin Identifying Locations

Study local and topographical maps Drive the proposed coverage area Take photographs Refer to Canopy equipment specifications to plot the range between modules
Step 2
51
Conduct Spectrum Analysis

If necessary, use a Spectrum Analyzer to sweep the proposed coverage area to determine existing RF activity.
Canopy Access Points, Subscriber Modules, PTP100 backhaul master and slave modules (10 or 20 Mbps) can be used as spectrum analyzers. The PTP400 and PTP600 backhauls have a built-in spectrum analyzer, and keep a running 31-day history of all channels.
Step 2
Conduct spectrum analysis at several different times of day for a more complete picture of the RF environment.
52
Graphical Spectrum Analyzer

Enable the Spectrum Analyzer from the SM or PTP100 BHS Expanded Stats web page.
(An AP can be reset to an SM for spectrum analysis.)
Step 2
All frequencies in the band are scanned and reported. (See next slide for sample.) Select Enable to refresh the readings, or set the Web Page Auto-Update to a value greater than 5. Select Disable to re-establish SM or BHS connectivity to APs or BHMs. Enabling Spectrum Analyzer will drop the RF link. If not disabled, the Spectrum Analyzer will time out after 15 minutes.
53
Graphical Spectrum Analyzer Sample
Step 2
Green bars show the latest reading. Yellow tick marks show the maximum reading over time. Red tick marks indicate strong readings (-40 dBm or greater).
54
Identify Structures for Radio Placement

Tall structures such as buildings, radio towers, water towers and hills or mountain tops are ideal sites. The site must have some source of power: AC, DC, Solar, and emergency backup power (UPS, generator, batteries). If the site is not being used as a repeater, some type of data source must be available: Ethernet/fiber-optic cable, modem/ mux, telco line or wireless backhaul.
Step 3
55
Verify Line of Sight Transmissions Most Canopy systems need LOS
Step 4
2.4/5.x GHz communication is Line of Sight (LOS). 900 MHz equipment provides Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) communication. Distance and throughput is dependent upon conditions and must be tested. Overall throughput rate is lower for 900 MHz equipment (compared to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and must be taken into consideration when planning your installations. The PTP400 and PTP600 backhaul modules provide near-line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight transmissions. Range and throughput are reduced. Links must be tested before installation.
56
Verify Line of Sight, contd Several Ways to Verify Line of Sight

Physically observe the path (driving or flying) Measure height of suspect obstructions Use maps or software (terrain database, mapping or topographical) Aeronautical charts Electronic strobes, flashing mirrors or CDs Radio test Video camera on a boom Weather balloons (colored) or flares Never assume the intended path is clear of obstructions! See the Appendices for examples of the above-listed methods.
Step 4

57
Provide Physical Protection

The site must have provisions for grounding and lightning protection. (See Appendix.) If devices like hubs, switches or routers are used, element protection is required (e.g.: weatherproof cabinet, radio room etc.). Follow local regulations regarding installation and operation of RF devices. Site must be accessible for maintenance but secure from vandalism, animals and the curious.
Step 5
58
Physical Protection, contd

Mounting structures should be rigid and capable of supporting modules, mounting hardware and the technician installing the equipment! Units with parabolic antennas or reflectors should be mounted on structures designed to withstand, at minimum, the wind load rating of the antenna.
Step 5
59
Assess Potential Sources of Interference

Check for sources of potential interference. These could be other radios, or high energy sources affecting the cables. If you suspect interference, sweep the area with a spectrum analyzer. Check multiple times, at different times of the day. The actual performance and range of Canopy equipment can be affected by interference levels.
In environments with heavy interference, reflectors may be required to obtain optimum Canopy equipment performance.
Step 6
60
Test Proposed Radio Links

The only way to find out if the radio path will work is to try it! It is not good business practice to provide service where the signal is reflected off of objects or passes through trees unless you have control over new construction, trees, repainting of RF reflective surfaces, etc.
Step 7
61
Select Canopy Equipment to Support Your Particular Network Demands; Be sure to include the proper peripherals and complementary equipment to ensure expected performance is realized

Point to Point Backhaul Network (PTP)

Backhaul Timing Master module used in a point-to-point link, controlling the air protocol and configurations for the link. Backhaul Timing Slave module used in a point-to-point link, and accepts configuration and timing from the master module. Cluster Management Module a module that provides power, GPS timing, and network connections for Backhaul timing masters and Access Point clusters, if located on the same tower. T1/E1 Multiplexer (optional) device capable of transporting up to three T1 or two E1 voice lines onto a Canopy PTP link.
NOTE: For the PTP100 backhaul modules, master and slave are not pre-configured (they are the same part number for ordering). During the installation process, the operator configures each particular backhaul as either a master or a slave. The PTP400 and PTP600 backhauls are ordered in pairs, and arrive pre-configured as master and slave.
65
Point to Point Network Components

The basic point to point link consists of a Backhaul Timing Master and a Backhaul Timing Slave. Lengthier point to point networks can be constructed by linking together multiple backhaul masters and slaves. In most cases, BH masters must be connected to a Cluster Management Module (CMM) so that a GPS timing pulse can synchronize the transmission cycles.
The PTP400 and PTP600 backhaul modules must be connected to a non-powered port.

T1/E1 Multiplexer Overview

Packaged point-to-point solution capable of transporting up to three T1 or two E1 voice lines onto a Canopy PTP link. (Will not work with AP or SM.) Provides synchronous, dedicated bandwidth for TDM services over wireless Ethernet (layer 2). Supports 10/100 BaseT uplink to Canopy or LAN. Purchased in pairs, preconfigured as master and slave. Scalable, from one to four ports - or two units combine for eight ports.
75
Potential Applications for T1/E1 Mux

Eliminate leased lines Implement wireless PBX networking
Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) service over Ethernet (prioritized to ensure low latency) Enables 24-channel T1 or 30-channel E1
Route LAN/WAN data on excess bandwidth Provide homeland security backup/emergency voice networks
76
Point to Point Networks Things to Consider in Planning

Consider breaking long paths into multiple smaller hops. Follow local regulations regarding use of reflectors. Transmission path for PTP100 Series modules is line of sight. The Link Estimator tool should always be used when planning an implementation with PTP400 or PTP600 Series backhauls. Verify the band and frequency to be used will be free from interference from other RF sources.

77
Cluster Management Module (CMM) General Rule for using CMMs

Each AP or Backhaul master must be connected to a CMM
For PTP400 and PTP600 backhauls, connect Ethernet cable PIDU to a NON-powered port.
Exceptions to CMM use:

Cluster with up to two Canopy devices AND with no other Canopy system nearby Remote AP or BHM receiving the sync reference from an SM or BHS
Considering that Canopy operates in the unlicensed spectrum, and that no one can project when systems will be added, it is strongly recommended that CMMs are always quoted and installed with APs and BH-Ms.

Placement of CMMmicro
The CMMmicro is housed in a weather tight cabinet. The external power supply is not weather-proof. The CMMmicro must be mounted within 100 meters (328 feet) of APs or BH Masters (CAT5 Ethernet limit). The GPS antenna must be mounted in a location no more than 30 meters or 100 feet from the CMMmicro with clear visibility to the sky. If using externally supplied DC power, use 10-12AWG wire.

81
Examples of PTP Backhaul Installations

Following are several examples of point-to-point backhaul installations. For each example, only like-kind backhaul modules can be deployed together. In all cases where there is a CMMmicro, an Access Point cluster could also be installed. In multiple backhaul installations, CMMmicros must be deployed to properly synchronize the modules to avoid interference and desensing of the modules.

82
Example 1: Multiple Backhaul Links

Synchronizing at a mid-point
5.7 GHz 5.7 GHz
PTP100 BH Slave
PTP100 BH Masters
CMM SS
PTP100 BH Slave
BH links at a common point (such as the middle of a link) may use the same frequency if BH masters are: 1. synchronized 2. pointed in different directions, and 3. using the same downlink percentage.

83
Example 1: Alternatives for Discussion Access Point clusters could be placed on same tower as Backhaul Slave if:
Include a CMMmicro AP cluster and BHS use different frequencies

Point to Multipoint Network Design

87
Point to Multipoint Network (PMP)

Definitions:
Access Point One Canopy module that distributes network or Internet services in a 60 degree sector to subscribers. Access Point Cluster Two to six APs that together distribute network or Internet services to a community of subscribers. With each AP covering a 60 degree sector, a cluster can cover as much as 360 degrees. Subscriber Module A customer premises equipment (CPE) device that extends network or Internet services by communication with an AP or an AP cluster. Backhaul Module Device that provides point-to-point connectivity link to an AP or AP cluster through the CMM. CMMmicro Provides power, GPS timing and networking connections for an AP cluster.
88
PMP Considerations
In densely populated areas, consider breaking your system into multiple smaller clusters. Follow local regulations on reflectors and power settings. 2.4 and 5 GHz equipment requires line of sight. If you dont have line of sight, consider multiple clusters, or consider 900 MHz equipment (taking note of the difference in throughput rate). Verify the band and frequency to be used will be free from interference from other RF sources. (Interference can reduce range.)

CMMmicro
A CMMmicro connected to a Backhaul module is the central point of connectivity for the site. A CMMmicro should be installed on each AP cluster or along with each Backhaul master The CMMmicro provides a GPS timing pulse to each module in the network site, synchronizing all network transmissions
92
Access Point Module

Selectable downlink percentage
Factory default: 75% AP is fully configurable, up or down. Downlink percentage is set on the APs Configuration page. Canopy AP Uplink %
One AP can provide service for up to 200 SMs. The number of SMs that can be supported by an AP is reduced when you enable the high priority channel on hardware-scheduled modules
Downlink %
Up to 200 served SMs
93
Distance / Area
To increase capacity/ density, AP clusters may be located closer together than 2 miles (3 km). At closer distances, consider reducing the power in each AP and SM using the low power selection on the modules Configuration page.
2 mile (3 km) or less radius

94
Performance Considerations
Evaluate the throughput requirements for your network. Plan placement of Advantage equipment to capitalize on higher throughputs where needed. Decide whether you will use hardware or software scheduling. Ensure there are no bottlenecks on the system. Determine the appropriate Uplink / Downlink ratio. Establish high priority settings if necessary. Verify line of sight. Verify current RF interference levels.
95
Cable Recommendation Shielded CAT5!
Key Point: Shielding
To minimize the possibility of Canopy performance problems that may be caused by external sources of interference, it is strongly recommended that shielded CAT5 cable (Ethernet and sync) be used in all Canopy installations.
96
The Importance of Proper Cabling

Using proper cabling when installing your Canopy system will help ensure consistent, reliable performance of your network. A large majority of technical support calls (35% or more) can be attributed to improper cabling or the use of inferior quality cables. Make sure your equipment is properly grounded. Use a professional to ensure you have proper lightning protection.
97
Cabling Design Considerations

Ethernet cables cannot exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length. GPS sync cable cannot exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length. GPS antenna cable cannot exceed 30 meters (100 feet) in length. Be careful when constructing power over CAT-5 cables. A mis-wire can permanently damage Canopy modules!
98
Canopy Cables - Important Notes

Cabling is one of the most important components of any communication network. Poor quality, poorly constructed and chafed or nicked cables can create intermittent network problems. Properly dressed and labeled cables make identification and troubleshooting easier. Improperly terminated Canopy Ethernet and Sync cables can result in external signals being coupled into the cable resulting in interference and erratic module performance.

Point to Point Installation and Alignment

101
PTP100 Backhaul Installation Tips

Factory default is slave. Change one module to be the BH master. Use the BH Master Quick Start page to set RF frequency, synchronization source and network IP address. For 20 Mb BH, set modulation to 10 Mbps for easier aiming. Install, aim and lock down the BHM first, then install, align and lock down the BHS. Detailed installation steps are provided in the Canopy System User Guide.
102
Canopy Reflectors, PTP100 BH

Where permitted by local law, Canopy PTP100 backhaul modules can be used with an optional passive reflector to extend the transmission range. The Canopy passive reflector is illuminated by the backhaul modules internal patch antenna, from an offset position. The reflector concentrates the backhaul beamwidth from 60 degrees to 6 degrees (17 degrees for 2.4 GHz). Reflectors must be properly aligned in order for the backhaul modules to function correctly.
103
Canopy Reflector Alignment

Follow the assembly instructions included with the reflector. When properly assembled, the tube coming out the front of the reflector will hold the Canopy module at the correct angle. The mast, as it attaches to the back of the reflector, should be vertical to the ground. Details and pictures are included in the installation materials for the reflector

PTP400 & PTP600 Backhaul Installation Tips

The PTP400 and PTP600 backhaul modules are sold in pairs, pre-configured as master and slave. PTP400 and PTP600 backhaul modules contain an Outdoor Unit and a Power Indoor Unit (PIDU). The PIDUs are different for the PTP400 and the PTP600 backhaul modules. Use the correct PIDU.
PTP400/PTP600 Outdoor Unit, Integrated Antenna
PTP400/PTP600 PIDU
106
Alignment of PTP400/PTP600 Backhauls
Install BHM first, then install and align BHS. Audio alignment tones are used to find the best position when aligning the units.
Tones change as the installer repositions one of the units. Adjust backhauls position to achieve highest pitch tone. Alignment can be confirmed through the GUI interface.
Once the units are aligned, you must disarm the units to achieve maximum throughput performance. Installation details are in the PTP400 and PTP600 User Guides.
107
Point to Multipoint Installation

108
AP Height
Canopy Access Point Cluster 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz SMs mounted on homes
APs should be mounted high enough to ensure clear line-of-sight (1st Fresnel Zone clearance) to the edge of the intended coverage area.
109
AP SM Range
The factory default setting for maximum AP to SM distance is 2 miles (3.2 km). This Max Range value must be changed to match the SM located the greatest distance from an AP. It is recommended that the Max Range be set to the lowest figure that will enable all SMs to register, since throughput can drop as the range increases, reducing the overall bandwidth of the AP cluster. All APs in a cluster must be set to the same Max Range value.
NOTE: SMs outside of the Maximum Range setting may not register with an AP.
110
AP Spacing
Spacing AP clusters closer increases link margin, capacity, and coverage. Consistent/regular spacing is best from a coverage perspective.
111
Importance of Grounding
Key Point: Grounding
Consult professionals for lightning protection and proper grounding. Use 10 AWG wire or better. Use a surge suppressor. Consult Appendix E, the Canopy System User Guide and specific lightning guides for the OFDM Backhaul products, available in the Canopy website Document Library.
112
Point to Multipoint Alignment

113
AP Alignment
Access Point alignment involves using a local or topographical map to determine which direction one or more APs in a cluster will be aimed to cover a specific 60 degree sector in a community. Depending on the height of the AP cluster above the local terrain, it may be required to calculate a degree of downtilt.

114
AP Alignment
A compass, GPS or similar device can be used to properly aim an Access Point. Once the Access Point has been positioned, lock the module down. Subscriber Modules are then aligned to their respective AP.

115
SM Alignment
Two methods can be used for aligning a Subscriber Module to an Access Point: Monitor the Jitter and power level (dBm) values on the SM. Use the Positioning Tone feature. This requires a special cable and headphones, or audio amplifier with speaker. You can use a PDA that is capable of supporting a wired Ethernet connection to monitor Jitter and power level during alignment.
116
SM Alignment Monitoring Jitter and Power

Jitter and power level (dBm) are two parameters that can be used for alignment of a Subscriber Module.
For 10 Mbps, Jitter should be 4 or below (with 1 or 2 being the best). For 20 Mbps, Jitter should be 7 9.
Power level indicates Rx sensitivity and Jitter is a measure of signal quality. For standard 1x operations, the uplink and downlink efficiency must both be at 90% or greater.
117
SM Alignment Method 1: Monitor Power Level and Jitter

1. Point the SM in the direction of the AP. Remember that when using the internal patch antenna the energy is radiated in a 60 degree horizontal by 60 degree vertical pattern. 2. The SM cycles through a series of steps to register to an AP: scanning, syncing, registering, and registered. Power level and Jitter will not report on the web page until the unit is registered. 3. The SM Status page displays levels for Jitter and Power Level (dBm)(contd)
118
SM Alignment Method 1, contd

4. If the module will not register, several troubleshooting steps can be taken. These are covered later in this course. 5. After the module has registered, slowly adjust the positioning of the SM so that Jitter is minimized and power levels are at best settings possible. Lock down the module when finished. 6. After alignment, perform a link test to check the efficiency of the link.
NOTE: If using a Subscriber Module with a Passive Reflector, the passive reflector will change the radiated pattern to 6 degrees horizontal by 6 degrees vertical pattern, or 17 degrees by 17 degrees for 2.4 GHz.
119
SM Alignment Method 2: Positioning Tone

Canopy Subscriber Modules (and Backhaul Slaves) incorporate an audible positioning tone to help installers find the best location for a Canopy radio. The tones pitch changes to reflect the jitter and power level. When aligning, move the SM around until you achieve the highest pitch. Lock the unit down.
120
SM Alignment Method 2, contd

The positioning tone feature requires:
A cable adaptor Canopy software release 4.0 or later
The cable adaptor allows the 6 pin RJ-11 GPS cable to interface to a headset or amplifier (adaptor doesnt require active or passive devices) The tone output is available on pin 5 of the RJ-11 connector, with pin 6 being ground. The headset or amplifier load should be between pins 5 and 6.
