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 300 and 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 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.

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 of how to change the

License Key.
