Pre-installation – Site Survey— Link Planning
A site survey must be performed to identify all the obstructions (trees, buildings, etc) 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 the 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 in-
stalled. 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.

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’s IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, target
address, master/slave and arming state are pre-configured.
Check that the Link is configured with the correct region Code, otherwise you will need
to re-configure the units with Alternative License Keys before installing and commis-
sioning the link. Please refer to Page 6, Step 12 for details on how to change the License
Key.
Before performing an installation of a Motorola PTP 300 or a PTP 500 Series sys-
tem, ensure that you have read this entire guide and taken note of any safety in-
formation contained.
