3.1 Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) 5.4 GHz for PTP 450

In System release 13.4, the LBT 5.4 GHz is implemented for PTP series. This feature was

previously implemented on PMP in release 13.3 and is now implemented on PTP. BHM

listens during the RTG (Receive/Transmit Transition Gap). If the interference is detected,

the following frame is left empty, no symbol is used (not even the overhead symbols).

The BHS listens during the TTG (Transmit/receive Transition Gap) time. If interference is

detected, the BHS skips the whole Uplink frame, nothing is sent.

Web Management Interface

The alternate channels can be configured on the BHM (under the tab Configuration >

Radio). Same channel cannot be configured twice for Frequency Carrier, Alternate Channel

1 or 2.

Figure 1 LBT BHM configuration for 5.4 GHz

In order to enable LBT, the Regional and Country will have to be configured for an “Other

Regulatory/Other ETSI” or “Europe” followed by County that supports the ETSI standard.

This setting is available under Regional Settings tab of Configuration > General page.

Figure 2 LBT ETSI 5.4 GHz BHM Region and Country code

3.2 Security Banner

In system release 13.4, the security banner has been introduced. If enabled, the user has to

accept and acknowledge the security requirement before login into web management

interface.

This feature is supported for all PMP / PTP product series.


pmp-0979 - July 2015 Page 8 of 50


The Security Banner is disabled by default. The user can view General Status configuration

and login to radio.

The user can enable Security Banner Configuration > Security > Security Banner tab.

3.3 RADIUS Change of Authorization

Prior to 13.4 release, SM will get configuration parameters from a RADIUS server during

authentication process. This feature allows an administrator to control configuration

parameters in the SM while SM is in session. The configuration changes in SM are done

using RADIUS Change of Authorization method (RFC 3576) on the existing RADIUS

authentication framework for AP and SM. A typical use case could be changing the QOS

parameters after a certain amount of bandwidth usage by a SM.

The RADIUS CoA feature enables initiating a bi-directional communication from the

RADIUS server(s) to the AP and SM.

The AP listens on UDP port 3799 and accepts CoA requests from the configured RADIUS

servers. This CoA request should contain SM MAC address in ‘User-Name’ attribute as

identifier and all other attributes which control the SM config parameters. For security

reasons, a timestamp also needs to be added as ‘Event-Timestamp’ attribute. Hence the

time should also be synchronized between the RADIUS server(s) and the AP to fit within a

window of 300 seconds.

Once the configuration changes are applied on the SM, CoA-ACK message is sent back to

RADIUS server. If the validation fails, the AP sends a CoA-NACK response to the RADIUS

server with proper error code.

Note:

The RADIUS CoA feature will only enabled if Authentication mode is set to

RADIUS AAA.


The CoA Feature can be enabled or disabled under Configuration > Security >

Authentication Server Settings tab.

The feature is disabled by default.

3.4 RADIUS VSA for Zero Touch

The RADIUS VSA (Vendor Specific Attributes) is updated for Zero Touch feature in system

release 13.4. This feature enables the ability for a SM to get its configuration via RADIUS

VSA. The RADIUS VSA is updated for an URL which points to the configuration file of SM.

The RADIUS will push the vendor specific attribute to SM after successful authentication.

The VSA contains URL of config file which will redirect SM to download configuration. If

there is any change in SM confirmation, the SM will reboot automatically after applying the

configuration.

The RADIUS VSA attributes concerning Zero Touch are as follows:

VSA Type String

Cambium-Canopy-ConfigFileImportUrl (29) string Maximum Length 127 characters.

Cambium-Canopy-ConfigFileExportUrl (30) string Maximum Length 127 characters.

The updated RADIUS dictionary can be downloaded from below link:

https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450/

Note:

The feature is not applicable to the AP.

3.5 Microsoft RADIUS support

This feature allows to configure Microsoft RADIUS (Network Policy and Access Services

a.k.a NPS) as Authentication server for SM and User authentication.

For SM Authentication, SM will user PEAP-MSCHAPv2 since NPS doesn't support TTLS

protocol.

For User Authentication, the Canopy software will use EAP-MD5 but the user has to do

certain configuration in order to enable EAP-MD5 on NPS.

Note:

All this configuration has been tested on Windows Server 2012

R2 version.

This feature is not supported on hardware board type P9 or lower

platforms.

3.6 Custom frequency configuration at 1 KHz raster

This feature will allow users to configure custom frequency at 1 KHz raster. Prior to this

release, the custom frequency raster was 50 KHz.

In previous releases, the custom frequencies could be configured for 3356.10 MHz, 3302.35

MHz, 3680.40 MHz etc. whereas this feature allows to configure custom frequencies

3356.123 MHz, 3302.333 MHz, 3680.421 MHz etc. at granularity of 1 KHz.

This feature applies to 3.5 and 3.6 GHz radios only.


pmp-0979 - July 2015 Page 14 of 50

Note:

If AP is running with 13.4 and transmitting at 1 KHz precision frequency,

the downgrade will be aborted.

If SM has ONLY 1 KHz precision frequencies selected in Custom Radio

Frequency Scan Selection List, the downgrade will be aborted. In

order to downgrade the radio successfully, at least one 50 KHz raster

frequency needs to be selected in Custom Radio Frequency Scan

Selection List.

AP and SMs will all need to be on at least release 13.4 to take advantage

of this feature.

3.7 Extrapolated Link Test

This feature allows users to estimate the link capacity by sending few packets and

measuring link quality. This feature extrapolates the link capacity in terms of throughput

based radio quality during test. This is an approximation test to have minimal service

impact.

Note:

This is not supported for PMP/PTP 100


The test can be run from GUI menu Tools > Link Capacity Test by selecting

3.8 Frame Utilization Statistics

The Frame Utilization Statistics is a feature introduced for PMP 450 and PTP 450 in system

release 13.4 which helps the user to understand how effectively the RF channel is being

utilized. This feature allows to check Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame utilization pattern

and diagnose for any excessive usage in uplink or downlink direction.

This forms the first step for identifying the TDD frame utilization information. If the user

finds excessive utilization based on these statistics, the second step would be to take

several actions like sectorization, tuning the uplink/downlink ratio etc. to improve RF

channel utilization. The efficient use of TDD frame will help to achieve optimum

performance of link.

Note:

The backhauls (BHM and BHS) will have only the downlink scheduler based

statistics.


The test can be run GUI menu Statistics > Frame Utilization.

3.17.1 SECTOR SPECTRUM ANALYZER

In Sector Spectrum Analyzer mode, the AP and SM perform spectrum analysis at the same

time.

The Sector SA can be initiated from AP specifying the scan duration. AP and all SMs in the

sector will stop transmitting and start scanning the spectrum. AP will scan longer time to

make sure that all the SMs do not receive the AP’s transmission. After the scan, radios

resume normal operation with the AP starting beacon transmission and the SMs connecting

to the AP.

3.17.9 IMPORT AND EXPORT OF CONFIGURATION FILE

The release 13.4 supports import and export of configuration from the AP or SM or BH as a

text file for PMP/PTP 100. The configuration file is in JSON format. To be able to export or

import the configuration file, the logged in user needs to be an Administrator.

The exported configuration file contains the complete configuration including all the default

values. To keep a backup of the current configuration, the file can be saved as-is and

imported later.

While importing a configuration file, either a full configuration or a sparse configuration

containing only the items that need to be changed can be loaded. If a sparse configuration

file is imported, only the items listed in the file will be imported. Other configuration

settings will remain unchanged. There can also be used a special flag in the configuration

file to tell the device to apply the configuration starting from factory default settings. See

the "Special headers for configuration file" section below.


1) Go to Configuration > Unit Settings page to export and import of config file.

MIB::importConfigFile (.1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.3.3.7) OID. Copy the configuration file to an

FTP server that is reachable from the AP or SM. Then invoke the above OID with the FTP

URL as the parameter. This will result in the configuration file getting downloaded and

imported into the device. Reboot the device to boot up with the new configuration.

Example:

$ snmpset -v 2c -c Canopy 192.168.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.161.19.3.3.3.7.0 s

ftp://user:[email protected]/config.json

Any error messages for the import and export operation can be found in the system logs.

3.17.11 ZERO-TOUCH CONFIG

The “Zero touch config” is an additional use case for the config file feature as described in

Import and export of configuration file. This feature extends the Installer Color Code feature

by enabling DHCP while connected to an AP with ICC. The forum post for the DHCP Option

66 listed above has more information on the Zero-touch configuration as well.

AP 3.65

GHz FCC

CPY-344 When 3.65GHz APs are deployed in an ABAB configuration,

then if an AP is rebooted, it may trigger an LBT event once

due to interference from the back sector. But once the AP has

initialized and is synced with the back AP (and adjacent

sectors), it will operate normally.
