Intended use, installation, and operation

The Cambium Networks ePMP radio products support data transmission over Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) and Point-to-Point (PTP) microwave links. This radio equipment is intended for professional applications for fixed outdoor installations only. These radios are available with an integrated antenna.

Connectorized units can operate with a selection of separately purchased dual-polarity external antenna through 2 x SMA-type female connectors. The installer is responsible to operate the radio equipment, the accessories as intended and according to the description provided by the antenna manufacturer. maximum antenna gain allowed for external antennas is 25 dBi for subscriber modules and 17 dBi for access point sectors.

Installation and operation of this product is complex, and Cambium therefore recommends professional installation and management of the system to ensure that operation complies with the regulations of region where the product is installed. Please follow the instructions in this leaflet. Further guidance PMP / PTP installation and operation is available in the product user guide.

The installer must have sufficient skills, knowledge, and experience to perform the installation task an responsible for:

• Familiarity with current applicable national regulations including radio regulations, electrical installation regulations, surge protection regulations and ‘working at heights’ regulations
  • Installation in accordance with Cambium Networks instructions
  • Confirming that the equipment settings are compliant with national or regional regulations

Installation, operation, and safety

Please observe the following important instructions during installation. This will set the equipment in compliance with national regulatory regulations.

• Ensure that the equipment is fitted with the latest firmware version (System Release 3.5.5 or 4.1.2 later). The software is available from the Cambium Support Center web site.
• During equipment set-up, verify that the correct region code is set (the region code is pre-set if factory for EU products) and then select the correct country code for the particular country when product is being deployed.
• For connectorized units, enter the antenna gain into the ‘Antenna Gain’ setting under the Configuration > Radio menu.

Observe the following safety rules:

• Ensure that the device and the structure to which it is mounted can withstand the maximum wi speeds at a proposed site.
• Always power down and unplug the equipment before servicing. The ePMP power supply is the primary disconnect device.

- Strong Radio Frequency (RF) fields will be present close to the antenna when the transmitter is Always turn off the power to the device before undertaking maintenance activities in front of the antenna.

• Observe the minimum safe distance limit for ePMP products provided below.
• Ensure that equipment is installed in a position avoiding any radiation hazard to humans.

- Exercise extreme care when working at heights. Observe national ‘working at heights’ regulations. U trained ‘competent’ staff.

• Exercise extreme care when working near power lines.

Safety

• ePMP devices and mounting structures must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. is the user's responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with national regulations. It is recommended that installation be contracted to a professional installer.
• Always use the specified ePMP platform power supply units (PSU) to power the equipment. Failure to use the specified Cambium supplied PoE could result in equipment damage and may cause a safety hazard.

• Structures, equipment, and people must be protected against electrostatic discharge:

• by siting equipment in a lightning protection zone

• by installation of appropriate lightning conductors to conduct the surge current to ground via a separate preferential solid path.

• The enclosure may be hot to the touch when in operation.

- Safety may be compromised if outdoor rated cables are not used for connections that will be exposed to the outdoor environment. Install Cambium recommended cables.

Power supply

The power supply unit that is connected to the ePMP modules is rated for indoor use. The ePMP are installed outdoors and terminated to network equipment using Cat5e cables with RJ45 connectors. The Cat5e cables are plugged into an AC or DC power supply to inject Power over Ethernet (PoE) the module. The Cat5e cables connected to the power supply transitioning from indoors to outdoors must be rated for outdoor use.

Attention

All RJ45 Ethernet LAN cables used for providing power or are connected to power ports (PoE) must be UL certified with VW-1 markings.

Attention

All cables used for outdoor installations must be suitable to be used for that environment and rated accordingly.

Mounting

Refer to the Mounting ideograms for mounting instructions.

Configuration

Configuring the management PC

1. Select Properties for the Ethernet port. In Windows 7 this is found in Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections > Local Area Connection.
2. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
3. Click Properties.
4. Enter an IP address that is valid for the 169.254.X.X network, avoiding 169.254.0.0 and 169.254 (Eg: 169.254.1.3).
5. Enter a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. Leave the default gateway blank.

Connecting to the PC and powering up

1. Check that the ODU ETH port is connected to the Ethernet + Power port of the power sup
2. Connect the PC Ethernet port to the LAN port of the PSU using a standard (not crossed) cable.
3. Apply mains or battery power to the PSU. The green Power LED should illuminate continuous
4. Check that the ODU red Ethernet LED illuminates continuously.
5. Open a web browser and type: 169.254.1.1.
   When prompted, enter admin/admin to login to the GUI and complete the configuration.

Conforming to the limits

Ensure that the link is configured to conform to local regulatory requirements by configuring the Co parameter (located in the web management interface at Configuration > Radio > General).

When using connectorized devices with external antennas, also ensure that the antenna gain is configured correctly in the device (the Antenna Gain parameter is located in the web management interface at Configuration > Radio > Power Control).

Operating in the EU

In the EU, the 5 GHz ePMP products operate in the following frequency bands up to the maximum shown:

Operating Frequency Band	EU Standard	Maximum Power Limit (EIRP)	Permitted usage 5 GHz	units that support this frequency band
