1 Introduction

1.1RELEASE 11.0 OVERVIEW

Release 11.0 is a general release for all Canopy FSK and OFDM radios, including PMP 100, PMP 400/430, PTP 100, and PTP 200 Series modules.

The primary Release 11.0 feature is SM and AP support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) protocol so that RADIUS can be used for

oSM Authentication o SM Configuration

o Centralized AP and SM user name and password management

For information on other Release 11.0 features see section 4 on page 11.

For information on the RADIUS implementation see section 5 on page 13.

For improvements and issues resolved in Release 11.0 see section 6 on page 25.

For release open issues see section 7 on page 26.

Release 11.0 adds no additional features to BHMs or BHSs, but BHMs and BHSs may be upgraded to Release 11.0 if desired.

IMPORTANT!

Floating licenses are not supported when using RADIUS. If you are using floating licenses, you can upgrade to Release 11.0, but do not use RADIUS authentication mode.

Floating licenses are used in conjunction with Prizm or BAM to provide features to SMs. If you are using floating licenses currently and wish to convert them to fixed licenses so you can use RADIUS, please contact technical support.

Modules should be running Release 9.5 or Release 10.5 before upgrading to Release 11.0.

To upgrade modules and distribute certificates to SMs use CNUT 3.20.16.

To manage modules running Release 11.0, including managing features new to this release, use Wireless Manager 3.0. (Prizm does not support the new features.)

PTP 100 (FSK), PMP 400, PTP 200 (OFDM, PMP 100 specifications

Motorola has long been a key player in the wireless communications market, known for its innovative solutions that cater to various connectivity needs. Among its diverse product range, the Motorola PMP 100 and PTP 200 series stand out as robust solutions for both point-to-multipoint (PMP) and point-to-point (PTP) applications, utilizing advanced modulation technologies such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) and FSK (Frequency Shift Keying).

The Motorola PMP 100 series is designed for wireless broadband access, enabling operators to provide high-speed internet connectivity to rural and underserved areas. Its capability to support multiple users makes it an ideal choice for ISPs looking to deliver last-mile connectivity. The PMP 100 operates in the 2.4 GHz and 5.7 GHz frequency bands, ensuring flexibility and compliance with various regulatory requirements. One of its key features is the use of OFDM technology, which enhances spectral efficiency and minimizes interference, resulting in reliable data transmission even in challenging environments.

On the other hand, the PTP 200 series focuses on point-to-point communication, offering high-capacity backhaul links between two locations. The PTP 200 is optimized for performance in line-of-sight scenarios, featuring advanced antenna options and narrow beam width capabilities. This product also leverages OFDM technology, which provides increased data rates and improved capacity, supporting applications such as video surveillance, voice over IP, and enterprise connectivity.
