Table 6 – PTP 600 Series Bridge Region Code Definitions
When shipped from the factory units6 are configured as follows:
• PTP 600 Series Bridge 5.4 GHz – Region Code 127
• PTP 600 Series Bridge 5.8 GHz – Region Code 1
5.3 Operational Restrictions 5.3.1 Radar Avoidance
Radar Avoidance requires that equipment used in the region:
• Detects interference from other systems and avoids co-channel operation with these
systems, notably radar systems.
• Provide on aggregate a uniform loading of the spectrum across all devices.
To address the primary aims the Spectrum Management algorithm implements a radar
detection function which looks for impulsive interference on the active channel only. If
impulsive interference is detected Spectrum Management will mark the current active channel
as having detected radar and initiate a channel hop to an available channel. The previous
active channel will remain in the radar detected state for thirty minutes after the last impulsive
interference pulse was detected. After the thirty minutes have expired the channel will be
returned to the available channel pool.
6 Note that 5.8GHz and 5.4GHz are different products.
7 Note that the Quickstart Guide also contains the license keys for region 10. This bars operation in
the Band 5600 – 5650 MHz and MUST be used for equipment depoyed in Canada and Australia.
