NOTICES

Important Note on Modifications

Intentional or unintentional changes or modifications to the equipment must not be made unless under the express consent of the party
responsible for compliance. Any such modifications could void the users authority to operate the equipment and will void the
manufacturers warranty.

U.S. Federal Communication Commision (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) Notification
This device complies with part 15 of the U. S. FCC Rules and Regulations and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. In Canada, users should be cautioned to take note that high power
radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of 5250 5350 MHz and 5650 5850 MHz and these radars could
cause interference and/or damage to license-exempt local area networks (LELAN).

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the U.S. FCC
Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Increase the separation between the affected equipment and the unit;
Connect the affected equipment to a power outlet on a different circuit from that which the receiver is connected to;
Consult the dealer and/or experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Canopy can be configured to operate at a range of frequencies, but at this time, only channels from 5745 MHz through 5805 MHz of the
5.7 GHz product have been tested for compliance with relevant EC directives. Before configuring equipment to operate outside this
range, please check with your regulator.

Exposure Note
A Canopy module must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm (7.9 in) from all persons. When adding the Canopy
reflector dish, the reflector dish must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 1.5m (59.1 in) from all persons. When so
installed, the modules RF field is within Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health
Canadas website http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.
In both configurations the maximum RMS power does not exceed 340mW.
The applicable power density exposure limit is 10 Watt/m2, according to the FCC OET Bulletin 65, the ICNIRP guidelines, and the
Health Canada Safety Code 6. The corresponding compliance distances referenced above have been determined by assuming worst-case
scenarios. The peak power density (S) in the far-field of a radio-frequency source with rms transmit power P and antenna gain G at a
distance d is

S=

PG
4 d 2

In the case of the Canopy SM without reflector, the gain is 8 dBi (a factor of 6.3), so the peak power density equals the exposure limit at
a distance of 13 cm for 2.4 GHz product and 10 cm for 5.2 and 5.7 GHz product. A power compliance margin of over 2 is artificially
introduced by setting the distance to a consistent 20 cm across all modules, giving a power compliance margin of x2.4 for 2.4 GHz
modules and x4 for 5.2 and 5.7 GHz modules.
In the case of the Canopy SM with reflector, the gain depends on frequency and ranges from 19 dBi (a factor of 80) for 2.4 GHz modules
to 26 dBi (a factor of 400) for 5.2 GHz Extended Range and 5.7 GHz modules, so the peak power density equals the exposure limit at a
distance of 10 to 80 cm. A power compliance margin is artificially introduced by defining a consistent compliance distance of 1.5 m
across all modules with reflectors, giving a power compliance margin of x10 for 2.4 GHz modules, x220 for 5.2 GHz Extended Range
modules, and x3.5 for 5.7 GHz modules. The compliance distance is greatly overestimated in this case because the far-field equation
neglects the physical dimension of the antenna, which is modeled as a point-source.

3 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Canopy network uses the Canopy components that are defined in Table 1.

Table 1: Definitions of Canopy components

Component

Definition

AP (Access Point Module)

One module that distributes network or Internet services in a 60

sector to 200 subscribers or fewer.

AP cluster (Access Point

cluster)

Two to six APs that together distribute network or Internet services to

a community of 1,200 or fewer subscribers. Each AP covers a 60
sector. This cluster covers as much as 360.

SM (Subscriber Module)

A CPE (customer premises equipment) device that extends network

or Internet services by communication with an AP or an AP cluster.

CMM (Cluster
Management Module)

A module that provides power, GPS timing, and networking

connections for an AP cluster. If this CMM is connected to a BH
(Backhaul Module), then this CMM is the central point of connectivity
for the entire site.

BH (Backhaul Module)

A module that provides point-to-point connectivity as either a

standalone link or a link to an AP Cluster through a selected AP.

3.1

MODULE-TO-MODULE COMMUNICATIONS

Each SM communicates with an AP in an assigned time slot that the AP controls. The AP
coordinates the needs of SMs for data in both the downlink and the uplink to provide seamless
communication across the entire network. The BH communicates with another BH, a collocated
connection to the network, and a collocated AP.
The AP uses a point-to-multipoint protocol to communicate with each registered SM. The BH timing
master uses a point-to-point protocol to communicate with a BH timing slave.
For more information about the AP, see Canopy Access Point Module (AP) User Manual. For more
information about the SM, see Canopy Subscriber Module (SM) User Manual. For more
information on the BH, see Canopy Backhaul Module (BH) User Manual.

3.2

SYNCHRONIZATION

The CMM is a critical element in the operation of the Canopy system. At one AP cluster site or
throughout an entire wireless system, the CMM provides a GPS timing pulse to each module,
synchronizing the network transmission cycles.

3.2.1

Unsynchronized Modules

Without this pulse, an AP is unsynchronized, and a BH timing master cannot synchronize a BH

timing slave. An unsynchronized module may transmit during a receive cycle of other modules.
This can cause one or more modules to receive an undesired signal that is strong enough to make
the module insensitive to the desired signal (become desensed).

Software Release 4.1

Passing sync

In releases earlier than Release 4.0, network sync can be delivered in only one over the air link in
any of the following network designs:

Design 1
1. A CMM provides sync in Ethernet protocol to a collocated AP.
2. This AP sends the sync in multipoint protocol over the air to SMs.

Design 2
1. A CMM provides sync in Ethernet protocol to a collocated BH timing master.
2. This BH timing master sends the sync in point-to-point protocol over the air to a BH
timing slave.

In Release 4.0 and later releases, network sync can be either delivered as described above or
extended by one additional link in any of the following network designs:
NOTE: In each of these following designs, Link 2 is not on the same frequency band as
Link 4. (For example, Link 2 may be a 5.2-GHz link while Link 4 is a 5.7- or 2.4-GHz link.)

Design 3
1. A CMM provides sync in Ethernet protocol to a collocated AP.
2. This AP sends the sync in multipoint protocol over the air to an SM.
3. This SM delivers the sync in Ethernet protocol to a collocated AP.
4. This AP passes the sync in multipoint protocol in the additional link over the air to
SMs.

This design in illustrated in Figure 1.

4.1

the location of the GPS antenna.

the locations of APs and BHs that will be connected to the CMM2.

the access to 24-VDC power, if the CMM2 will not operate on AC power.

DISTANCE FROM OTHER COMPONENTS

The CMM2 requires separation of

4.2

not longer than 328 feet (100 meters) of cable length from the furthest AP or BH.

not less than 10 feet (3 meters) of space from the nearest AP or BH.

not longer than 100 feet (30.5 meters) of cable length from the GPS antenna.

DISTANCE FROM 24-VDC POWER SUPPLY

In an application where the CMM2 will operate on 24-VDC power, the CMM2 requires separation of
not longer than 400 feet (120 meters) of cable from the power supply.

4.3

ENVIRONMENT

The CMM2 may be mounted outdoors or indoors. As with all other Canopy network components,
the integrity of the cables that connect to the CMM2 is critical to proper operation. The cables
recommended in CANOPY SYSTEM ACCESSORIES on Page 27 conform to the CMM2

CABLING THE CMM2

The use of shielded cable for all Canopy system infrastructure associated with BHs, APs, and
CMM2s is strongly recommended. The environment these modules operate in typically has
significant unknown or varying RF energy. Operator experience consistently indicates that the
additional cost of shielded cables is more than compensated by predictable operation and reduced
costs for troubleshooting and support.

RJ-11 Straight-thru GPS sync cable

An RJ-11 cable is commonly used to connect a device to a phone line. This cable resembles the
RJ-45 Ethernet cable except for a thinner cord and smaller plug. The Canopy system uses an
RJ-11 cable to connect the AP or BH to GPS synchronization. Presuming CAT 5 cable and 6-pin

Configuration from the Factory

From the factory, the AP is configured to not transmit on any frequency. This configuration ensures
that an operator does not accidentally turn on an unsynchronized AP. Site synchronization of APs
is required for the following reasons:

Canopy modules

transmit or receive, but not at the same time.

use TDD (Time Division Duplexing) to distribute signal access of the downlink and
uplink frames.

When one AP transmits while another receives signal, the transmitting module may
interfere with or desense the receiving module. In this context, interference is selfinterference (within the same Canopy network).

One AP in each AP cluster must be connected to the master port on the CMM2, and each
module connected to a CMM2 must be configured to Sync to Received Signal (Timing
Port). If either is not done, then the GPS receiver sends no sync pulse to the remaining
ports.
