Attention
ElectroMagnetic Discharge (Lightning)
Protect Your Installation!
EMD (Lightning)damage is not covered under warranty
The recommendations in this section and in the user manual, when followed correctly,
give the installation the best protection from the harmful effects of EMD
However 100% protection is not implied or possible
The recommended components for protecting an installation are:
• Solid screen Ethernet cable: Superior Essex type BBDGE.
• Surge Arrestor: Type PTP-LPU - 2 per link – Part Number 2978
• Grounding Stake (if no suitable grounding point can be found).
• Minimum 8 AWG Grounding Cable
NB: There may be a local regulatory requirement to cross bond the CAT 5e cable to
the mast at intervals as regular as every 10 metres (33 feet). This can be achieved
using an Andrew grounding assembly type 223158 or similar.
We recommend that the practices and procedures detailed in the Motorola manual R56 "STANDARDS AND
GUIDELINES FOR COMMUNICATION SITES" (68P81089E50) be applied to all new site build activities. For a
copy on the manual please see your local Motorola representative. The manual can be downloaded from the
Motorola Intranet site http://compass.mot.com/go/190860869

Protection Requirements
• Zone A – A direct strike is possible, mounting the ODU in this zone is not recom-
mended.
• Zone B –Indirect EMD (Lightning) effects are still possible, however, mounting within
Zone B significantly reduces the possibility of a direct strike
For further explanation and connection details see User Guide section - Lightning Protection

Checklist
• Check the contents of all packages against the packing list.
• Check the Web site for the latest software load.
List of special tools required
• 13mm wrench and 22mm wrench for use with the glands.
• RJ45 Crimp Tool (Ensure you have the correct tool for the type of RJ45 being used).
• Personal Computer (PC) with 10, 100 or 1000BaseT Ethernet interface.
• Internet Explorer 6 or higher (recommended), or Firefox 2.0 or higher.
• Ethernet patch cables.
• Crimp tool for grounding lugs (only required when installing connectorized ODU).
• LINKPlanner report for this link.
Pre-installation – Site Survey— Link Planning
A site survey must be performed to identify all the obstructions (trees, buildings, etc) 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 300 and the PTP 500 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 in-
stalled. 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
.
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’s IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, target
address, master/slave and arming state are pre-configured.
Check that the Link is configured with the correct region Code, otherwise you will need
to re-configure the units with Alternative License Keys before installing and commis-
sioning the link. Please refer to Page 6, Step 12 for details on how to change the License
Key.
Before performing an installation of a Motorola PTP 300 or a PTP 500 Series sys-
tem, ensure that you have read this entire guide and taken note of any safety in-
formation contained.

Bench Testing (Optional) - Connect and Power Up
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 4: Put the cover back
and tighten the screw.
Step 3: Plug in the ODU to
PIDU Plus Cable ensuring
that it snaps home.
Step 5: Plug in power lead
using a cable appropriate for
the installation.
Step 6: Connect a second
Ethernet cable (shown in yel-
low) to the “LAN” socket of
the PIDU Plus.
Step 7: 30 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.
.
NOTE - If the power LED
does not illuminate, re-
move 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 8: Ensure PC is set to
correct IP address 169.254.1.x,
where 2 < x < 254. Connect
the LAN cable to the PC
(shown here in yellow).
Step 9: Check that the Ethernet
LED is now ON. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section in this
guide if the LED does not show
any activity when accessing
web pages.
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.

Step 13: Access the ‘Installation
Wizard’, ’Wireless Configuration’
page . Confirm the target MAC Ad-
dress, Master Slave Mode and other
configuration choices. Reboot the
unit.
If testing connectorized ODUs, con-
nect them together.
Repeat steps 1-13 for the paired unit
and check that the status of the link
shows UP on the ‘Status Page’.
Step 11: You may wish to upgrade the software. If so, select ‘Software Upgrade’ and follow
the on-screen instruction. Latest software is available from our web site:
(http://motorola.motowi4solutions.com/software/#ptp)
Bench Testing (Optional) - Configuration Checks
Step 12: Check the License Key informa-
tion and ensure you are using the correct
Region Code. Otherwise, select ‘License
Key’ and replace with the alternative key
supplied and reboot the unit.
Step 10: 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 will be empty for new units). We
recommend that you change the password by
selecting ‘Change Password’ in the Menu
bar.

Use the integral safety loop for hoisting the ODU up a mast or building. When the ODU is in
position, use the safety loop as a fixing point to secure a permanent lanyard from the tower/
building to the ODU, as a precaution against mounting failure.
Warning! The safety lanyard must not exceed 1 m (approx 3 ft) in length. The lan-
yard must be made from a material which does not degrade in an outdoor environ-
ment.
Warning! The safety lanyard must be fixed to a separate fixing point which 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 ex-
posed to a shock loading due to a fall, replace it with a new one before undertak-
ing any further operations.

Hoist & Safety Loop

Attach free end (large
tag M10) to Tower Metal
work – NB On no ac-
count must this be at-
tached to the mount-
ing bracket bolts!!
Step 1: Your equipment will already have the
mounting bracket fitted.
Do notremove pre-fitted mounting
bracket.
The pre-fitted earth bonding lead is secured
after the unit is mounted.
Step 2: Attach the Bracket mount to the pole
using the bracket strap and either M8
x 40mm or M8 x 70mm bolts, as required, M8
flat washers and M8 coil washers as shown.
Tighten to ensure the assembly grips but
can be adjusted. For poles between
1” (26mm) and 2”(50mm) reverse the
bracket.
Step 3: Offer up the unit to the bracket
mount and affix using the captive M8 bolt.
Tighten to ensure the assembly grips but can
be adjusted on the pole.
Step 4: Adjust the elevation and azimuth of
the unit before tightening to the required
torque settings of 14Nm
(11lbft) for both bolts.
Warning ! Do not over tighten.
