•Motorola PTP LINKPlanner report for this link
More information: PTP 600 Series User Guide Section: “Installation”
Pre-installation: Site Survey and Link Planning
A site survey must be performed to identify all the obstructions (such as trees or buildings) in the path and
to assess the risk of interference. This information is important if you are to achieve an accurate link
feasibility assessment.
The PTP 600 Series are designed to operate in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) and Line-of-Sight (LoS)
environments. Link planning enables a link of known quality to be installed. This involves the acquisition of
path profile data (using Motorola’s free LINKPlanner utility). The LINKPlanner predicts data rates and
reliability over the path. It allows the user to try different antenna heights and RF power settings. When the
link is installed, the mean path loss can be checked to confirm that the predicted data rate and link reliability
is achievable. Motorola LINKPlanner is available to download from http://www.motorola.com/ptp/support.
More information: PTP 600 Series User Guide Section: “Site Planning”
Pre-installation: License Keys and Regulatory Conformity
If the units have been purchased as a pair (link) then the License Keys (at the end of this guide or
printed on a separate card in the box) will show how the units have been pre-configured to work as
a link. Software, license key, unit IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, target address,
master/slave and arming state are pre-configured.
CAUTION: Check that the link is configured with the correct Region Code. If Region Code
is incorrect, then re-configure the units with Alternative License Keys before installing and
commissioning the link. Refer to “Configuration Checks” for details on how to change the
License Key.

Bench Testing (Optional)
It is advised that the link be configured and tested on a bench before the final installation of the
units on a pole or a mast. The following steps give details of how to connect an ODU to a PC in
order to check the configuration details, change the IP settings or modify the license key. For the
purpose of these tests, normal off-the-shelf Ethernet cables can be used.
Power Checks
Step 1: Connect the RJ45 at
one end of a cable to the ODU.
Step 2: Undo the retaining screw
of the PIDU Plus and hinge back
the cover.
Step 3: Plug in the ODU to
PIDU Plus Cable, ensuring
that it snaps home.
Step 4: Put the cover back
and tighten the screw.
Step 5: Plug in power lead using
a cable appropriate for the
installation.
Step 6: If the power LED
does not illuminate, remove
the power cable and the ODU
connection from the PIDU
Plus. Re-connect the power
lead and check the power
LED illumination (green). If
the power LED still does not
light then check the power
source.
Step 7: Connect a second
Ethernet cable (shown in
yellow) to the “LAN” socket of
the PIDU Plus.
Step 8: 45 seconds after
powering, the Ethernet LED
should be observed to flash
slowly 10 times. If the Ethernet
LED does not illuminate
(orange), then either the PIDU
Plus or the cable to the ODU
may be faulty. Replace cable
and/or PIDU Plus and repeat
from Step 1.
Step 9: Ensure PC is set to
correct IP address
169.254.1.x, where 2 < x <
254. Connect the LAN cable
to the PC.
If this IP address is not
recognised, try 10.10.10.11
(Master) and 10.10.10.10
(Slave), as some units may
have been pre-configured
with these addresses.
Step 10: If it is necessary to
use IP addresses 10.10.10.11
and 10.10.10.10, ensure that
the PC is configured with an IP
address of 10.10.10.n, where n
is any value between 2 and
254 but excluding 10 and 11,
to configure these units.
Step 11: Check that the Ethernet
LED is now ON. Step 12: If the LED does not show any activity when
accessing web pages, refer to
the Troubleshooting section
in this guide.

Bench Testing (Optional)
CAUTION: Do not dress the RJ45 cables too tightly, as this may make the connections
unreliable.
More information: PTP 600 Series User Guide Section: “Connecting Up”
Configuration Checks
Step 1: Use a web browser to connect to IP address http://169.254.1.1 for Slave and
http://169.254.1.2 for Master units. Select System Administration and Login (the
password is empty for new units). We recommend that you change the password by
selecting “Change Password.
Step 2: If an upgrade to the software is required, select Software Upgrade and follow the
on-screen instruction. Latest software is available from our web site:
(http://motorola.motowi4solutions.com/software/#ptp)
Step 3: Check the License Key information and ensure you are using the correct the
Region Code. Otherwise, select License Key and replace with the alternate key supplied
and reboot the unit.

Mast, Tower or Building Installation
Hoist and Safety Loop
Use the integral safety loop for hoisting the ODU up a mast, tower or building. When the ODU is in
position, use the safety loop as a fixing point to secure a permanent lanyard from the mast, tower
or building to the ODU, as a precaution against mounting failure.
WARNING: The safety lanyard must not exceed 1m (approx 3 ft) in length. The lanyard
must be made from a material that does not degrade in an outdoor environment.
WARNING: The safety lanyard must be fixed to a separate fixing point that is not part of the
direct mounting system for the ODU.
WARNING: If the safety loop or its fixing is damaged in any way or has been exposed to a
shock loading due to a fall, replace it with a new one before undertaking any further
operations.

Mast, Tower or Building Installation
Mast or Tower Installation Instructions
The ODU is pre-fitted with a mounting bracket (designed to ease installation) and with earth
bonding leads.
WARNING: When mounting the ODU, observe the following precautions against failure of
the assembly:
•Do not remove the pre-fitted mounting bracket from the ODU.
•Do not mount the ODU on poles with diameter less than 50mm (2”) or greater than
75mm (3”). The ODU mounting bracket is designed to work only with poles with
diameter in the 50 mm (2”) to 75 mm (3”) range.
•Do not over-tighten the bolts.

10
Mast, Tower or Building Installation
The ODU must be mounted using the following steps, with cable entry at the bottom:
Step 1: Attach the bracket strap to the pole
using M8 x 70 mm bolts, M8 flat washers and
M8 coil washers. Tighten to ensure the
assembly grips but can be adjusted.
Step 2: Offer the ODU (with pre-fitted
mounting bracket) to the bracket strap and
affix using the captive M8 bolt.
Tighten to ensure the assembly grips, but can
be adjusted on the pole.
Step 3: Adjust the elevation and azimuth of
the unit before tightening to the required
torque settings of 14 Nm (11 lbft) for both
bolts.
Step 4: Attach the free end of one earth
bonding lead (large tag M10) to the tower
metal work.
CAUTION:
On no account must this be attached
to the mounting bracket bolts.
WARNING: A cable measuring card must NEVER be used at the ODU end connected to power
from the PIDU. It must only be used at the bottom of the mast with a multimeter. This is because
the PIDU voltage exceeds the limit allowed in some countries for safe handling in wet conditions and
therefore may create a safety hazard.
