3 CMMmicro FEATURES
The Cluster Management Module micro (CMMmicro, Part 1070CK) provides power, GPS
timing, and networking connections for an AP cluster. It is configurable through a web
interface.

The CMMmicro contains an 8-port managed switch that supports Power over Ethernet
(PoE) on each port and connects any combination of APs, BHMs, BHSs, or Ethernet
feed. CMMmicro PoE differs from IEEE Standard 803.3af PoE, and the two should not be
intermixed. The CMMmicro can auto-negotiate speed to match inputs that are either
100Base-TX or 10Base-T, and either full duplex or half duplex, where the connected
device is set to auto-negotiate. Alternatively, these parameters are settable.

A CMMmicro requires only one cable, terminating in an RJ-45 connector, for each
connected module to distribute

◦ Ethernet signaling.
◦ power to as many as 8 collocated modules—APs, BHMs, or BHSs. Through a
browser interface to the managed switch, ports can be powered or not.
◦ sync to APs and BHMs. The CMMmicro receives 1-pulse per second timing
information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites through an antenna
(included) and passes the timing pulse embedded in the 24-V power to the
connected modules.

GPS status information is available at the CMMmicro in Release 3.0. See Setting the
Time Tab of the AP on Page 91.

CMMmicro supports the features that are listed in Table 4.

4 UNDERSTANDING SYNCHRONIZATION
The system uses Time Division Duplexing (TDD) - one channel alternately transmits and
receives - rather than using one channel for transmitting and a second channel for
receiving. To accomplish TDD, the AP must provide sync to its SMs – it must keep them
in sync. Furthermore, collocated APs must be synced together - an unsynchronized AP
that transmits during the receive cycle of a collocated AP can prevent that second AP
from being able to decode the signals from its SMs. In addition, across a geographical
area, APs that can hear each other benefit from using a common sync to further reduce
self-interference within the network.

4.1 GPS SYNCHRONIZATION

The Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging (NAVSTAR) Global Positioning System
(GPS) uses 24 satellites to relay information for precise derivation of position and time.

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

The Oncore GPS Receiver tracks eight or more satellites. The CMMmicro uses the signal
from at least four of these satellites to generate a one-second interval clock that has a
rise time of 100 nsec. This clock directly synchronizes APs and BHMs which, in turn,
synchronize the SMs and BHSs in the network.

The Oncore GPS Receiver also provides

◦ the latitude and longitude of the GPS antenna (collocated with the CMM)
◦ the number of satellites that are being tracked
◦ the number of satellites that are available
◦ the date
◦ the time in Universal Coordinated Time (UCT)
◦ the altitude of the GPS antenna
◦ other information that can be used to diagnose network problems.

4.2 ALTERNATIVE TO GPS SYNC

A link can operate without GPS sync, but cannot operate without sync. The alternative to
GPS sync is to configure the AP or BHM in the link to generate a sync pulse to pass to
the SM or BHS, respectively. Depending on the RF environment in which the link
operates, this latter alternative may or may not be plausible.

For example, in Figure 1, AP4

◦ is not synchronized with any of the other APs.

◦ is transmitting nearby the other APs while they are expecting to receive SM
transmissions from a maximum distance.

Issue 1 21
June 2010 CMMmicro User Guide
Release 3.0

Figure 1: One unsynchronized AP in cluster

The result is self-interference. In this scenario, the self-interference can be avoided only
by synchronizing the TDD transmit cycles of all APs that operate in the same frequency
band.

An AP that is isolated by at least 5 miles (8 km) from any other Canopy equipment, or a
BHM in an isolated standalone BH link can generate and pass sync pulse without GPS
timing and not risk that interference will result from the generated sync. In any other type
of link, sync should be derived from GPS timing.

NOTE:
The OFDM Series BHMs generate their own sync. For more information about
these modules, see the user guides that support them.

4.3 ADVANTAGE OF GPS SYNC

Although the embedded timing generation capability of the AP and BHM keeps a precise
clock, no trigger exists to start the clock at the same moment in each AP of a cluster. So,
the individual AP can synchronize communications between itself and registered SMs,
but cannot synchronize itself with other Motorola modules, except by GPS timing (shown
in Figure 2).

5.1.3 Cables
Motorola modules that are currently or recently sold can auto-sense whether the Ethernet
cable is wired as straight-through or crossover. Some modules that were sold earlier
cannot. The MAC address, visible on the module, distinguishes whether the module can.

6 ACQUIRING PROFICIENCIES
Designing and operating a Motorola network requires fundamental knowledge of radio
frequency transmission and reception, Internet Protocol addressing schemes,
experimentation with equipment, and for most operators participation in some forms of
training.

6.1 UNDERSTANDING IP FUNDAMENTALS

Training and user interfaces also presume an understanding of Internet Protocol (IP)
fundamentals. Excellent written sources for these fundamentals are available. One such
source is Sams Teach Yourself TCP/IP in 24 Hours by Joe Casad
(ISBN 0-672-32085-1), published by Sams Publishing.

NOTE:
The default IP address of each Motorola wireless broadband network component
is 169.254.1.1.

6.2 EVALUATING TRAINING OPTIONS

Motorola and its distributors make technical training available to customers. For
information on this training, either

◦ send email inquiries to [email protected].

◦ visit http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/support/training/.

Select your Region and click the go button.

6.3 ATTENDING ON-LINE KNOWLEDGE SESSIONS

Irregularly but often, Motorola presents a knowledge session on the Internet about a new
product offering. Some of these knowledge sessions provide the opportunity for
participants to interact in real time with the leader of the session.

The knowledge session

◦ provides a high-level understanding of the technology that the new product

introduces.
◦ announces any subtleties and caveats.
◦ typically includes a demonstration of the product.
◦ is usually recorded for later viewing by those who could not attend in real time.

To participate in upcoming knowledge sessions, ask your Motorola representative to

ensure that you receive email notifications.

7 RECEIVING SHIPPED COMPONENTS

The best practice is to connect all components—BHs, APs, GPS antenna, and CMM—in
a test setting and initially configure and verify them before deploying them to an
installation. In this way, any configuration issues are worked out before going on-site, on
a tower, in the weather, where the discovery of configuration issues or marginal hardware
is more problematic and work-flow affecting.

When you receive Motorola products, carefully inspect all shipping boxes for signs of
damage. If you find damage, immediately notify the transportation company.

As you unpack the equipment, verify that all the components that you ordered have
arrived. Save all the packing materials to use later, as you transport the equipment to and
from installation sites.

8 INSTALLING COMPONENTS

RECOMMENDATION:
Use shielded cable for all infrastructure connections associated with BHs, APs,
and CMMs. The environment that these modules operate in often 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.

8.1 OBSERVING INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Use simple precautions to protect staff and equipment. Hazards include exposure to RF
waves, lightning strikes, and power surges. This section specifically recommends actions
to abate these hazards.

8.1.1 Maintaining Exposure Separation Distances

To protect from overexposure to RF energy, install radios so as to provide and maintain
the minimum separation distances shown in Table 11 away from all persons.

Table 11: Exposure separation distances

Minimum Separation
Module Type
Distance from Persons
FSK or OFDM radio 20 cm (approx 8 in)
Radio with Reflector Dish 1.5 m (approx 60 in or 5 ft)
Radio with LENS 0.5 m (approx 20 in)
Antenna of connectorized 5.7 GHz AP 30 cm (approx 12 in)
Antenna of connectorized or integrated 900 MHz module 60 cm (24 in)
Indoor 900-MHz SM 10 cm (4 in)

At these and greater separation distances, the power density from the RF field is below
generally accepted limits for the general population.

NOTE:
These are conservative distances that include compliance margins. In the case
of the reflector, the distance is even more conservative because the equation
models the reflector as a point source and ignores its physical dimensions.

Issue 1 33
June 2010 CMMmicro User Guide
Release 3.0

Limits and guidelines for RF exposure are specified by

◦ US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at
http://www.fcc.gov, and the policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47
of the Code of Federal Regulations, as well as the guidelines and suggestions for
evaluating compliance in FCC OET Bulletin 65.
◦ Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb and Safety Code 6.
◦ ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines
for the general public. See the ICNIRP web site at http://www.icnirp.de/ and
Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and
Electromagnetic Fields.

The applicable RF power density exposure limits and the calculated minimum separation
distances d, recommended distances and resulting power compliance margins for each
frequency band and antenna combination are provided in the Motorola Point-to-Multipoint
(PMP) Solutions User Guide.

8.1.2 Grounding the Equipment

Effective lightning protection diverts lightning current safely to ground, Protective Earth
(PE) . It neither attracts nor prevents lightning strikes.

WARNING!
Lightning damage is not covered under the Canopy warranty. The
recommendations in Canopy guides give the installer the knowledge to
protect the installation from the harmful effects of ESD and lightning.
These recommendation must be thoroughly and correctly performed.
However, complete protection is neither implied or possible.

Grounding Infrastructure Equipment

To protect both your staff and your infrastructure equipment, implement lightning
protection as follows:

◦ Observe all local and national codes that apply to grounding for lightning
protection.
◦ Before you install your modules, perform the following steps:
− Engage a grounding professional if you need to do so.
− Install lightning arrestors to transport lightning strikes away from equipment.
For example, install a lightning rod on a tower leg other than the leg to which
you mount your module.
− Connect your lightning rod to ground.
− Use a 600SS Surge Suppressor on the Ethernet cable where the cable
enters any structure. (Instructions for installing a Canopy 600SS Surge
Suppressor are provided in the Motorola Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) Solutions
User Guide.)
◦ Install your modules at least 2 feet (0.6 meters) below the tallest point on the
tower, pole, or roof.

Use 10-AWG (6 mm2) Copper Grounding Wire

According to NEC 810-21 3(h), either a 16-AWG copper clad steel wire or a 10-AWG
copper wire may be used. This specification appears to be based on mechanical strength
considerations and not on lightning current handling capabilities.

For example, analysis shows that the two wire types are not equivalent when carrying
a lightning surge that has a 1-microsecond rise by 65-microsecond fall:

◦ The 16-AWG copper clad steel wire has a peak fusing current of 35,000 amps
and can carry 21,000 amps peak, at a temperature just below the ignition point
for paper (454° F or 234° C).
◦ The 10-AWG copper wire has a peak fusing current of 220,000 amps and can
carry 133,000 amps peak, at the same temperature.
Based on the electrical/thermal analysis of these wires, Motorola recommends 10-AWG
copper wire for all grounding conductors. Although roughly double the cost of 16-AWG
copper clad steel wire, 10-AWG copper wire handles six times the surge current from
lightning.

Shielding is not Grounding

In part, NEC 810-21 states:

A lightning arrester is not required if the lead-in conductors are enclosed in a

continuous metal shield, such as rigid or intermediate metal conduit, electrical
metallic tubing, or any metal raceway or metal-shielded cable that is effectively
grounded. A lightning discharge will take the path of lower impedance and jump
from the lead-in conductors to the metal raceway or shield rather than take the
path through the antenna coil of the receiver.

However, Motorola does not recommend relying on shielded twisted pair cable for
lightning protection for the following reasons:

◦ Braid-shielded 10Base-T cable is uncommon, if existent, and may be unsuitable

anyway.
◦ At a cost of about two-thirds more than 10-AWG copper UTP, CAT 5
100Base-TX foil-shielded twisted pair (FTP) cable provides a 24-AWG drain wire.
If this wire melts open during a lightning surge, then the current may follow the
twisted pair into the building.
More than 80 percent of all direct lightning strikes have current that exceeds
8,500 amps. A 24-AWG copper wire melts open at 8,500 amps from a surge that
has a 1-microsecond by 70-microsecond waveform. Hence, reliance on 24-AWG
drain wire to comply with the intent of NEC 810-21 is questionable.

Shielded twisted pair cable may be useful for mitigation of interference in some
circumstances, but installing surge suppressors and implementing the ground
recommendations constitute the most effective mitigation against lightning damage.

8.1.3 Protecting Cables and Connections

Cables that move in the wind can be damaged, impart vibrations to the connected device,
or both. At installation time, prevent these problems by securing all cables with cable ties,
cleats, or PVC tape.

Issue 1 35
June 2010 CMMmicro User Guide
Release 3.0

Over time, moisture can cause a cable connector to fail. You can prevent this problem by

◦ using cables that are filled with a dielectric gel or grease.

◦ including a drip loop where the cable approach to the CMMmicro is from above.
◦ wrapping the cable with weather-resistant tape.

On a module with an external antenna, use accepted industry practices to wrap the
connector to prevent water ingress. Although the male and female N-type connectors
form a gas-tight seal with each other, the point where the cable enters each connector
can allow water ingress and eventual corrosion. Wrapping and sealing is critical to long-
term reliability of the connection.

Possible sources of material to seal that point include

◦ the antenna manufacturer (material may have been provided in the package with
the antenna).
◦ Universal Electronics (whose web site is http://www.coaxseal.com), who markets
a weather-tight wrap named Coax-Seal.

Perform the following steps to wrap the cable.

Procedure 1: Wrapping the cable

1. Start the wrap on the cable 0.5 to 2 inches (about 1.5 to 5 cm) from the
connection.
2. Wrap the cable to a point 0.5 to 2 inches (about 1.5 to 5 cm) above the
connection.
3. Squeeze the wrap to compress and remove any trapped air.
4. Wrap premium vinyl electrical tape over the first wrap where desired for abrasion
resistance or appearance.
5. Tie the cable to minimize sway from wind.
end of procedure

8.2 PREPARING FOR THE INSTALLATIONS

8.2.1 Conforming to Regulations

For all electrical purposes, ensure that your network conforms to applicable country and
local codes, such as the NEC (National Electrical Code) in the US. If you are uncertain of
code requirements, engage the services of a licensed electrician.

8.2.2 Standards for Wiring

Motorola modules automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable in a connection is
wired as straight-through or crossover. You may use either straight-through or crossover
cable to connect a network interface card (NIC), hub, router, or switch to these modules.
For a straight-through cable, use the EIA/TIA-568B wire color-code standard on both
ends. For a crossover cable, use the EIA/TIA-568B wire color-code standard on one end,
and the EIA/TIA-568A wire color-code standard on the other end.

Where you use the Canopy AC wall adapter

◦ the power supply output is +24 VDC.

◦ the power input to the SM is +11.5 VDC to +30 VDC.
◦ the maximum Ethernet cable run is 328 feet (100 meters).

8.2.3 Best Practices for Cabling

The following practices are essential to the reliability and longevity of cabled connections:

◦ Use only shielded cables to resist interference.

◦ For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief.
◦ Include a 2-ft (0.6-m) service loop on each end of the cable to allow for thermal
expansion and contraction and to facilitate terminating the cable again when
needed.
◦ Include a drip loop to shed water so that most of the water does not reach the
connector at the device.
◦ Properly crimp all connectors.
◦ Use dielectric grease on all connectors to resist corrosion.
Use only shielded connectors to resist interference and corrosion.

8.2.4 Collocating Canopy Modules

A BH and an AP or AP cluster on the same tower require a CMM. The CMM properly
synchronizes the transmit start times of all Canopy modules to prevent interference and
desensing of the modules. At closer distances without sync from a CMM, the frame
structures cause self interference.

8.3 INSTALLING A GPS ANTENNA

The following information describes the recommended tools and procedures to mount the
GPS antenna.

Recommended Tools for GPS Antenna Mounting

The following tools may be needed for mounting the GPS antenna:

◦ 3/8” nut driver

8.4.5 Installing the Power Supply for the CMMmicro

Install the CMMmicro power converter in only a hut, wiring closet, or weatherized NEMA-
approved enclosure. This is imperative to keep moisture away from the power converter,
not to shield it from harsh temperatures.

WARNING!
Although the output of the power converter is 24 V, the 100-W power rating
classifies the converter as a Class 2 electric device. For this reason, whenever
you work on power in the CMMmicro, you must first disconnect the DC converter
from the AC power source.

Perform the following procedure to install the provided power supply.

Procedure 5: Installing the Power Supply for the CMMmicro

1. Connect the 6-ft (2-m) AC power cord to the power converter (but not yet to an
AC receptacle).
2. Select the length of power cord as follows:
a. If either mounting the unit inside with the power converter or outside within 9
ft (2.8 m) of the power converter, select the 10-ft (3-m) DC power cord (rated
for outdoor use).
b. If mounting the unit outside and further than 9 ft (2.8 m) from the power
converter, ensure that this additional length of cord is either UV-resistant or
shielded from UV rays.
◦ Use a terminal block, connector, or splice to add the additional length.
◦ Protect the terminal block, connector, or splice (as inside a weatherized
enclosure, for example).

module.
2. In the Status page, verify that the time is expressed in GMT.
3. In the menu on the left-hand side of the web page, click on GPS Status.
4. Verify that the AP or BH is seeing and tracking satellites. (To generate the timing
pulse, the module must track at least 4 satellites.)
end of procedure

8.5 PASSING SYNC FROM ONE CMM TO ANOTHER

For either of the following cases, you can use the instructions in this section to configure
wiring such that one CMM passes its synchronization to another:

◦ Case 1: To use a single GPS antenna (to avoid a second per-antenna site
surcharge, for example).
◦ Case 2: To set up the fail-over capability to switch to an inactive, redundant,
already- synced CMM by remote management.

The CMMs that share sync can be any combination: two CMM4, two CMMmicro, or a
CMM4 and a CMMmicro.

Syncing two CMMs requires connecting their RJ-11 auxiliary ports together with a 6-wire
cable and then appropriately configuring each of them. This connection cable is special,
not a straight-through cable.

46 Issue 1
CMMmicro User Guide June 2010
Release 3.0

8.5.1 Shared Sync Case 1—A single antenna

Connections
◦ The GPS antenna connects to one CMM via coax cable.
◦ The two CMMs connect to each other via a cable that links the auxiliary sync
RJ11 ports of each CMM.
◦ Alternatively and depending on network design and other equipment in the
network, the CMMs may connect to each other via an Ethernet cable.

Configurations
◦ In the Configuration → CMM tab of the CMM that directly receives sync from the
GPS antenna, set the Sync Source parameter to Master (GPS Module).
◦ In the Configuration → CMM tab of the CMM that receives sync from the other,
set the Sync Source parameter to Slave (RJ11 Port).

Results
◦ Neither the slave CMM nor its connected APs and BHMs displays GPS location
information.
◦ The Master is automatically the server for time-of-day to connected APs and
BHMs that specify its IP address as their NTP server.
◦ If a valid, reachable NTP server IP Address entry is present in the
Configuration → Time tab of the Slave, then the slave CMM function as an NTP
(Network Time Protocol) server. This entry instructs the Slave to
− obtain time-of-day from the device at that address.
− pass the time-of-day to any connected device that has the IP address of this
Slave configured as its NTP server.
NOTE: This Time tab is present only if the CMM is specified as Slave (as
described above).

8.5.2 Shared Sync Case 2—Redundancy

Connections
◦ Each CMM is connected to its own GPS antenna via coaxial cable in the
standard way.
◦ The two CMMs are connected via a 6-wire cable between the RJ-11 auxiliary
ports of each CMM.
◦ Depending on network design and other equipment in the network, the two
CMMs may either
− be connected to each other via an Ethernet cable.
− have separate connections to a router, switch, or other network device.

Configurations
◦ For normal operation, in the Configuration → CMM tab of each, set the
Sync Source parameter to Master (GPS Module).
◦ If one loses sync due to problems with its GPS antenna, coax cable, or GPS
module, set the Sync Source parameter in the out-of-sync CMM to
Slave (RJ11 Port).

Issue 1 47
June 2010 CMMmicro User Guide
Release 3.0

Results
◦ In normal (Master) operation
− the user interface in each CMM and in connected APs and BHMs display
GPS location information.
− each CMM is automatically the server for time-of-day to connected APs and
BHMs that specify its IP address as their NTP server.
◦ In fail-over (Slave) operation
− neither the CMM nor its connected APs and BHMs displays GPS location
information.
− if a valid, reachable NTP server IP Address entry is present in the
Configuration → Time tab of the Slave, then the slave CMM function as an
NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. This entry instructs the Slave to obtain
time-of-day from the device at that address and pass it to any connected
device that has the IP address of this Slave configured as its NTP server.

8.5.3 CMM Sync Cable

IMPORTANT!
The pinout of the cable that connects two CMMs for sync differs from the
straight-through sync cable that connects a remote AP to an SM, or that
connects an AP or BHM to a CMM2.

Pinouts for a CMM sync cable and the location of Pin 1, relative to the lock tab on the
connector, are shown in Figure 9.

9.1 MANAGING AND USING THE AUTHENTICATION SETUP

9.1.1 Adding a User

A CMMmicro that has never had a user account configured or one that has been reset to
factory defaults allows access to all of its web page tabs without first requiring a valid
username and associated password. This initial access, although not secure, provides
the opportunity for the administrator to configure valid users.

CMMmicro supports four or fewer user accounts, regardless of account levels. The
available levels are

◦ ADMINISTRATOR, who has full read and write permissions. This is the level of
the root and admin users, as well as any other administrator accounts that one of
them creates.
◦ INSTALLER, who has permissions identical to those of ADMINISTRATOR
except that the installer cannot add or delete users or change the password of
any other user.

50 Issue 1
CMMmicro User Guide June 2010

◦ GUEST, who has no write permissions and only a limited view of General Status
tab.

To add an authorized user, click the Account link in the left panel, then the Add User tab
in the right panel.

Figure 10: Add User tab of Account web page

Use this tab to add users until they total four or fewer.

9.1.2 Logging In
If your account has been set up, click in the text boxes to type in your Username and the
associated Password, then click the Log In button.

9.1.3 Overriding a Forgotten IP Address or Password

By using an override toggle switch on the CMMmicro circuit board, you can temporarily
override the lost or unknown IP address or password as follows:

◦ Up is the override position in which a power cycle causes the CMMmicro to boot
with the default IP address (169.254.1.1) and no password required.
◦ Down is the normal position in which a power cycle causes the CMMmicro to
boot with your operator-set IP address and password(s).

Figure 12: Override switch

To override a lost or unknown IP address or password, perform the following steps.

Procedure 7: Using the override switch to regain access to CMMmicro

IMPORTANT!
In override mode
◦ a CMMmicro provides no power on its ports.
◦ any APs or BHs connected to the CMMmicro are not powered.
◦ you cannot gain browser access to the CMMmicro through any
connected APs or BHs.

1. Gain physical access to the inside of the CMMmicro enclosure.

2. Establish direct Ethernet connectivity to the CMMmicro (not through an AP or
BH).
3. Flip the toggle switch (Figure 12 above) up, toward you.
4. Power cycle the CMMmicro.
RESULT: The CMMmicro reboots with the default IP address of 169.254.1.1,
password fields blank, and all other configuration values as previously set.
5. Set passwords as desired, or enter a blank space to set no password.
6. Change configuration values if desired.
7. Click the Save Changes button.
8. Flip the toggle switch (see Figure 12 again) down, away from you.
9. Click the Reboot button.
end of procedure

9.1.4 Updating a User

From the factory default state, configure passwords for both the root and admin
account at the ADMINISTRATOR permission level, using the Change User Password tab
of the Account web page. (If you configure only one of these, then the other will still
require no password for access into it and thus remain a security risk.) If you are intent on
configuring only one of them, delete the admin account. The root account is the only
account that CNUT uses to update and Prizm uses to manage the CMMmicro.

9.2 CONFIGURING IP ACCESSIBILITY

9.2.1 Fitting IP Access to the Overall IP Scheme of the Network

Network elements are accessed through IP Version 4 (IPv4) addressing.
A proper IP addressing method is critical to the operation and security of a network.

Each module requires an IP address on the network. This IP address is for only
management purposes. For security, you should either
◦ assign an unroutable IP address.
◦ assign a routable IP address only if a firewall is present to protect the module.

You will assign IP addresses to computers and network components by either static or
dynamic IP addressing. You will also assign the appropriate subnet mask and network
gateway to each module.

Issue 1 53
June 2010 CMMmicro User Guide
Release 3.0

Address Resolution Protocol

As previously stated, the MAC address identifies a module in

◦ communications between modules.

◦ the data that modules store about each other.
◦ the data that BAM or Prizm applies to manage authentication and bandwidth.

The IP address is essential for data delivery through a router interface. Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) correlates MAC addresses to IP addresses.

For communications to outside the network segment, ARP reads the network gateway
address of the router and translates it into the MAC address of the router. Then the
communication is sent to MAC address (physical network interface card) of the router.

For each router between the sending module and the destination, this sequence applies.
The ARP correlation is stored until the ARP cache times out.

Allocating Subnets
The subnet mask is a 32-bit binary number that filters the IP address. Where a subnet
mask contains a bit set to 1, the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network
address.

Example IP Address and Subnet Mask

In Figure 15, the first 16 bits of the 32-bit IP address identify the network:

Octet 1 Octet 2 Octet 3 Octet 4

IP address 169.254.1.1 10101001 11111110 00000001 00000001
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0 11111111 11111111 00000000 00000000

Figure 15: Example of IP address in Class B subnet

In this example, the network address is 169.254, and 216 (65,536) hosts are addressable.

Selecting Non-routable IP Addresses

The factory default assignments for network elements are

◦ unique MAC address

◦ IP address of 169.254.1.1, except for an OFDM series BHM, whose IP address
is 169.254.1.2 by default
◦ subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
◦ network gateway address of 169.254.0.0

For each radio and CMMmicro and CMM4, assign an IP address that is both consistent
with the IP addressing plan for your network and cannot be accessed from the Internet.
IP addresses within the following ranges are not routable from the Internet, regardless of
whether a firewall is configured:

◦ 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
◦ 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
◦ 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

9.2.2 Specifying the IP Parameters of the CMMmicro

To access the IP settings for the CMMmicro, select the Configuration link in the left
panel and the IP tab in the right panel.

Assign an IP address that both is consistent with the IP addressing plan for your network
and cannot be accessed from the Internet. See Selecting Non-routable IP Addresses on
Page 54.

If you set and then forget this parameter, then you must both

1. physically access the CMMmicro.

2. use the CMMmicro override toggle switch to electronically access the
configuration parameters at 169.254.1.1. See Overriding a Forgotten IP Address
or Password on Page 51.

RECOMMENDATION:
Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate
these IP settings with both the CMMmicro itself and the data that you store about
the CMMmicro.

The default value for the Subnet Mask parameter is 255.255.255.0. Also enter the
appropriate Default Gateway for the CMMmicro to communicate on the network.
The default for this parameter is 169.254.0.0.

When you click the Save Changes button, any changes that you made on the this tab
are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot

ACCESS FILTER
To access these various settings, select the Configuration link in the left panel and the
CMM tab in the right panel.

Figure 17: CMM tab of Configuration web page, example

9.3.1 Setting the HTTP Refresh and Maximum Session Times

The Session Timeout parameter sets the maximum length of time in minutes that will be
allowed for any HTTP, telnet, or FTP session in the CMMmicro. The valid range is 0 to
999999 seconds. The default setting is 600 (10 minutes). 0 specifies that none of these
session types should ever time out.

The Webpage Auto Update parameter sets the web page to be automatically refreshed
when the number of minutes configured in it has expired. Enter the frequency (in
seconds) for the web browser to automatically refresh the web-based interface. The valid
range is 0 to 99. The default setting is 0, which causes the web-based interface to never
be automatically refreshed. If you change this value and then click Save Changes, then
the change becomes effective immediately and the previous value is lost.

9.3.2 Establishing How Sync is Obtained

The Sync Source parameter is available to allow the CMMmicro to generate sync from a
direct antenna connection or receive sync from another CMM, at the option of the
operator. See Passing Sync From One CMM to Another on Page 46. Selectable values
are Master (GPS Module) and Slave (RJ11 Port).

In the IP Access Filtering section of this tab, you can permit management access to the
CMMmicro via HTTP from any IP address (IP Access Filtering Disabled) or limit it to
access from only one, two, or three IP addresses that you specify (IP Access Filtering
Enabled).

If you select IP Access Filtering Enabled, then you must populate at least one of the
Allowed Source IP 1 to 3 parameters or have no access permitted from any IP address,
including access and management by Prizm. You may populate as many as all three.

If you select IP Access Filtering Disabled for the IP Access Control parameter, then
no entries in this parameter are read, and access from all IP addresses is permitted.

When you click the Reboot button, the CMMmicro reboots, and any changes that you
saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.

9.4 CONFIGURING THE PORTS

9.4.1 Specifying PoE and Link Speed per Port

The Port 1 to 8 Description parameter allows you to type in a textual string by which
you will readily associate the connected device or the purpose for which you use the port.

Figure 18: Ports tab of Configuration web page, example

Issue 1 57
June 2010 CMMmicro User Guide
Release 3.0

The Power parameter allows you to both

◦ select whether to provide 24 V DC power to an AP or BH, sync, and network

connection to the device that is connected to the port
◦ quickly recognize whether power is applied (red) or not applied (black) to each
port. By default, no ports are powered.

Ensure that power is off for every port that connects to a router, computer, or other
network equipment. Turn on 24-V DC power for ports that connect to APs or BHs.

CAUTION!
Never connect any devices other than Canopy APs and BHs to a powered port.
Powered ports are indicated by a red LED to the right of the port. (See Item 7
in Figure 8 on Page 45.) A powered port has 24 VDC on Pins 7 and 8 and 24 V
return on Pins 4 and 5. This can damage other networking equipment, such as
a computer or a router.

The Link Speed parameter sets the network connection with the connected device.
The CMMmicro can auto-negotiate speed to match inputs that are either 100Base-TX
or 10Base-T, and either full duplex or half duplex, where the connected device is set to
auto-negotiate. Alternatively, you can fix these to a setting. Auto-negotiation is
recommended. If the far end (an AP, a BH, a router) has been set to auto-negotiate, then
the CMMmicro will link to it at 100Base-T.

The range of Link Speed selections are defined in Table 14.

Table 14: Port Link Speed selections for CMMmicro

Selection Result
The port attempts to auto-negotiate speed and full
Auto
duplex state (the default and recommended setting).
100FDX The port is forced to 100 Mbps and full duplex.
100HDX The port is forced to 100 Mbps and half duplex.
10FDX The port is forced to 10 Mbps and full duplex.
10HDX The port is forced to 10 Mbps and half duplex.

If you change the Link Speed value for a port and then click Save Changes, then the
change becomes effective immediately and the previous value is lost.

When you click the Save Changes button, any changes that you made on the this tab
are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot

9.4.2 Selecting Ports for Management and the Port-based VLAN Feature
The Switch tab allows you to configure, per port, whether it will

◦ allow management traffic in (Management Port checked).

◦ serve as an uplink port and thus not send data out through any other port in the
same VLAN (Uplink Port checked).
◦ send data out through specifically selected other ports (through only those port
numbers checked for Port Based VLAN Config).

NOTE:
Unlike 802.1Q VLAN configurations, which set the CMMmicro to accept or reject
management frames based on their tags, the post-based VLAN configurations
set the CMMmicro port to send its outbound traffic to only the operator-selected
other ports of the CMMmicro.

Each column in the Port Based VLAN Config section of Figure 19 corresponds to a port.
Checkboxes in each column control which ports can transmit traffic that arrives on the
column port. For example, if the only check mark in the table is for Port 2 in the first
column, then

◦ Port 1 is allowed to send data out on only Port 2.

◦ Port 2 is allowed to send data out on all other ports.
◦ All other ports are allowed to send data out on only Port 2.

This example is considered an Uplink configuration for Port 2.

You must configure each direction (for example, Port 1-to-Port 2 being one direction, and
Port 2-to-Port 1 being another) separately.

It is possible to configure only a single direction. This would allow Port a to send data to
Port b, but not allow the Port b to send data to Port a. (For example, you could check
Port 8 in the Port 2 column, but not check Port 2 in the Port 8 column).

In any case, you should set these relationships only cautiously and with two-way
communication in mind. Regardless of the relationship that you configure among the
ports, all of them continue to communicate with the CMMmicro management controller.

Setting (checking) any Uplink Port checkboxes (see Figure 19) overrides Port Based
VLAN Config settings. If you want complete control on a port-by-port basis using Port
Based VLAN Config, do not manually check any boxes Uplink Port section.

9.4.5 Configuring Radios for Connection to CMMmicro

After configuring the CMMmicro, configure the APs and BHs as follows: in each AP and
BH that connects to a CMMmicro, set the Sync Input parameter in the Configuration web
page of that radio to Sync to Received Signal (Power Port).

9.5 SETTING SNMP MONITORING, MANAGEMENT, AND

NOTIFICATIONS

9.5.1 Specifying Access to Manage the CMMmicro via SNMP

In the Accessing IP / Subnet Mask 1 to 10 parameters, you can allow SNMP access to
the CMMmicro from management or monitoring servers at ten or fewer IP addresses that
you specify with their CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) subnet values. Beside
having qualified IP addresses, these servers will also be required to authenticate using
the SNMP Community String that you enter in this tab. No spaces are allowed in this
string. The default is Canopy.

The SNMP Community String value is clear text and is readable by a packet monitor.
Additional security derives from the configuration of the Accessing IP / Subnet Mask
list, Trap Address list, and Permissions parameters.

The Subnet Mask limits the addresses that are allowed to send SNMP requests to this
CMMmicro. The NMS must have an address that is within this subnet. You must enter
both

◦ the network IP address in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

◦ the CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form /xx.

For example

◦ the /16 in 198.32.0.0/16 specifies a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (the first 16 bits
in the address range are identical among all members of the subnet).
◦ 192.168.102.0 specifies that any device whose IP address is in the range
192.168.102.0 to 192.168.102.254 can send SNMP requests to the CMMmicro,
presuming that the device supplies the correct SNMP Community String value.

RECOMMENDATION:
For more information on CIDR, perform an Internet search on the expression
Classless Interdomain Routing.

The default treatment is to allow all networks access.

For all such accessing servers, the Permissions section of this tab allows you to

◦ limit their SNMP access to monitoring by setting Read Permissions to

Read Only.
◦ open their SNMP access to monitoring and management by setting
Read Permissions to Read / Write.

9.5.2 Specifying Traps and Their Destinations

This tab also allows the operator to list as many as ten server IP addresses (in the
Trap Address 1 to 10 text boxes) to which the CMMmicro will send its SNMP
notifications (traps). Inherent in this flexibility is support for element management
redundancy with network management redundancy, for example. See also CMMmicro
Traps on Page 90.

Unlike for the other traps that the CMMmicro agent can send, you can toggle whether it
sends the in- or out-of-sync trap to the management server(s) by setting the Sync Status
parameter to Enabled (send) or Disabled (do not send). Typically, you would disable the
send function only when the traps are flooding the manager with traps for known
intermittent loss and recapture events; for example, when the GPS antenna encounters
intermittent interference or weak signals, or when a connected CMM that servers as
master is having that problem.

9.5.3 Setting or Resetting the Site Information

Since site information is settable and readable via SNMP from a management server,
the SNMP tab also includes text boxes for Site Name, Site Contact, and Site Location.
Given the key role that the CMMmicro plays in the communications of connected radios,
well-populated site information can play a more significant role in speedy resolution of
multi-sector problems than it could in the APs, for example. You may want an overall
network scheme consistent across all of your towers for how you populate Site Location
or Site Name in particular to readily correlate any anomaly that neighboring towers
simultaneously experience.

Compose the Site Name string to associate with the physical module. This parameter is
written into the sysName SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer
size for this field is 128 characters.

Compose the Site Contact string for the CMMmicro administrator. This parameter is
written into the sysContact SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an NMS. The buffer
size for this field is 128 characters.

Compose the Site Location string about the physical location of the CMMmicro. This
parameter is written into the sysLocation SNMP MIB-II object and can be polled by an
NMS. The buffer size for this field is 128 characters.

You also have the option to hide your configured site information from any user whose
level is Guest. By default, the Guest user can view it. To display it to only users who have
authenticated, switch the Site Information Viewable to Guest Users parameter to
Disabled. See Adding a User on Page 50.

9.6 CONFIGURING THE CMMmicro FOR VLAN MEMBERSHIP AND

PACKET TAGGING
The VLAN tab allows you to configure how management traffic is routed and tagged
based on membership.

Figure 21: 802.1Q VLAN tab of Configuration web page, initial

When Enable 802.1Q VLAN Tagging is Disabled, the text box for the following
parameter (802.1Q Management VLAN ID) is inactive. When it is Enabled, the
CMMmicro is manageable through only packets that are tagged with the VID configured
in the 802.1Q Management VLAN ID parameter. These parameters have no bearing on
tagging in non-management traffic.

By default, VLAN is Disabled in the CMMmicro. With this feature enabled, the CMMmicro
becomes a permanent member of any VLAN VID that it reads in packets that it receives.
When the CMMmicro reboots, it loses these memberships, but begins again to freely
adopt memberships in the VIDs that will be permanent until the next reboot.

If you enable this feature, enter in the 802.1Q Management VLAN ID text box the VID
that the you want the CMMmicro to use to communicate with the manager. The range of
values is 1 to 4094. The default value is 1. (In the Motorola fixed wireless broadband IP
network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This
facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not.)

If you have VLAN Enabled, then this tab also includes a read-only block that provides the
following information.

◦ Active Configuration Untagged Ingress VID: With a setting of VLAN ID 1 in the

802.1Q Management VLAN ID, the CMMmicro will accept VLAN 1 or untagged
frames. With any other VLAN ID setting, it will accept only frames that are tagged
with the specified VLAN ID and reject all untagged frames.
◦ VID Number: All frames outbound from the CMMmicro will have an 802.1Q
VLAN tag, set to the configured VLAN ID (1 by default).
◦ Type: For each VID number in the first column, the entry in this column
correlates the way in which the CMMmicro became and continues to be a
member:
− Permanent: This indicates that the CMMmicro was assigned the VID number
through direct configuration by the operator.
− Dynamic: Since no dynamic learning feature is configurable for CMMmicro,
you will not see this type displayed.

64 Issue 1
CMMmicro User Guide June 2010
Release 3.0

◦ Age: For each VID number in the first column of the table, the entry in this
column reflects whether or when the VID number will time out:
− for Permanent type: The number will never time out, and this is indicated by
the digit 0.
− for Dynamic type: This does not apply.

When you click the Save Changes button, any changes that you made on the this tab
are recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot
of the CMMmicro.

When you click the Reboot button, the CMMmicro reboots, and any changes that you
saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.

9.7 ENFORCING OR BACKING OUT OF CONFIGURATION CHANGES

The Unit Settings tab provides command options that relate to the original configuration
state of the CMMmicro and that configuration changes that you made to it during the
current session.

Figure 22: Unit Settings tab of Configuration web page

If you click the Save Changes button, then any changes that you made on all tabs are
recorded in flash memory. However, these changes do not apply until the next reboot of
the CMMmicro.

When you click the Reboot button, the CMMmicro reboots, and any changes that you
saved by a click of the Save Changes button are implemented.

If you click the Undo Unit-Wide Saved Changes button, then any changes that you
made in any tab but did not commit by a reboot of the CMMmicro are undone.

If you click the Set to Factory Defaults button, then all configurable parameters on all
tabs are reset to the factory settings.

11 MANAGING A CMMmicro FROM A

MANAGEMENT STATION (EMS OR NMS)
SNMPv2 (Simple Network Management Protocol Version 2) can be used to manage and
monitor the Canopy modules under SMI (Structure of Management Information)
specifications. SMI specifies management information definitions in ASN.1 (Abstract
Syntax Notation One) language. SNMPv2 supports both 32-bit and 64-bit counters. The
SMI for SNMPv2 is defined in RFC 1902 at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1902.html.

11.1 ROLES OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ELEMENTS

11.1.1 Role of the Agent

In SNMP, software on each managed device acts as the agent. The agent collects and
stores management information in ASN.1 format, in a structure that a MIB (management
information base) defines. The agent responds to commands to

◦ send information about the managed device.

◦ modify specific data on the managed device.

11.1.2 Role of the Managed Device

In SNMP, the managed device is the network element that operates on the agent
software. In the Canopy network, this managed device is the module (AP, SM, or BH).
With the agent software, the managed device has the role of server in the context of
network management.

11.1.3 Role of the NMS

In SNMP, the NMS (network management station) has the role of client. An application
(manager software) operates on the NMS to manage and monitor the modules in the
network through interface with the agents.

11.1.4 Dual Roles for the NMS

The NMS can simultaneously act as an agent. In such an implementation, the NMS acts
as

◦ client to the agents in the modules, when polling for the agents for information
and sending modification data to the agents.
◦ server to another NMS, when being polled for information gathered from the
agents and receiving modification data to send to the agents.

11.1.5 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Commands

To manage a module, SNMPv2 supports the set command, which instructs the agent to
change the data that manages the module.

To monitor a network element (Canopy module), SNMPv2 supports

◦ the get command, which instructs the agent to send information about the
module to the manager in the NMS.
◦ traversal operations, which the manager uses to identify supported objects and to
format information about those objects into relational tables.

Issue 1 81
June 2010 CMMmicro User Guide
Release 3.0

In a typical Canopy network, the manager issues these commands to the agents of more
than one module (to all SMs in the operator network, for example).

11.1.6 Traps from the Agent

When a specified event occurs in the module, the agent initiates a trap, for which the
agent sends an unsolicited asynchronous message to the manager.

11.2 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION BASE (MIB)

The MIB, the SNMP-defined data structure, is a tree of standard branches that lead to
optional,
non-standard positions in the data hierarchy. The MIB contains both

◦ objects that SNMP is allowed to control (bandwidth allocation or access, for

example)
◦ objects that SNMP is allowed to monitor (packet transfer, bit rate, and error data,
for example).

The path to each object in the MIB is unique to the object. The endpoint of the path is the
object identifier.

11.2.1 Cascading Path to the MIB

The standard MIB hierarchy includes the following cascading branch structures:

◦ the top (standard body) level:

− ccitt (0)
− iso (1)
− iso-ccitt (2)
◦ under iso (1) above:
− standard (0)
− registration-authority (1)
− member-body (2)
− identified-organization (3)
◦ under identified-organization (3) above:
− dod (6)
− other branches
◦ under dod (6) above:
− internet (1)
− other branches
◦ under internet (1) above:
− mgmt (2)
− private (4)
− other branches

82 Issue 1
CMMmicro User Guide June 2010
Release 3.0

◦ under mgmt (2) above: mib-2 (1) and other branches. (See MIB-II below.)
◦ under private (4) above: enterprise (1) and other branches. (See Canopy
Enterprise MIB below.)

Beneath this level are non-standard branches that the enterprise may define.

Thus, the path to an object that is managed under MIB-II begins with the decimal string
1.3.6.1.2.1 and ends with the object identifier and instance(s), and the path to an object
that is managed under the Canopy Enterprise MIB begins with 1.3.6.1.4.1, and ends with
the object identifier and instance(s).

11.2.2 Object Instances

An object in the MIB can have either only a single instance or multiple instances, as
follows:

◦ a scalar object has only a single instance. A reference to this instance is

designated by .0, following the object identifier.
◦ a tabular object has multiple instances that are related to each other. Tables in
the MIB associate these instances. References to these instances typically are
designated by .1, .2, and so forth, following the object identifier.

11.2.3 Management Information Base Systems and Interface (MIB-II)

The standard MIB-II (Management Information Base systems and interface) objects are
programmed into the Canopy modules. To read this MIB, see Management Information
Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based Internets: MIB II, RFC 1213 at
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1213.html.

The MIB-II standard categorizes each object as one of the types defined in Table 15.

Table 15: Categories of MIB-II objects

Objects in
category… Control or identify the status of…
system system operations in the module.
interfaces the network interfaces for which the module is configured.
ip Internet Protocol information in the module.
Internet Control Message Protocol information in the module.
icmp
(These messages flag IP problems and allow IP links to be tested.)
Transport Control Protocol information in the module (to control
tcp
and ensure the flow of data on the Internet).
User Datagram Protocol information in the module (for checksum
udp
and address).

11.2.4 Canopy Enterprise MIB

The Canopy Enterprise MIB provides additional reporting and control, extending the
objects for any NMS that uses SNMP interaction. This MIB comprises five text files that
are formatted in standard ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) language.

To use this MIB, perform the following steps.

11.2.6 CMMmicro Traps

The CMMmicro provides the following SNMP traps for automatic notifications to the NMS:

◦ System Rebooted: the CMMmicro encountered a reboot (a cold start).

◦ Authentication Failure: an unsuccessful attempt at access was made using the
wrong community string, accessing subnet, or SNMP version.
◦ Sync Status Change: the CMMmicro has lost or recaptured sync.

11.3 MIB VIEWERS

Any of several commercially available MIB viewers can facilitate management of these
objects through SNMP. Some are available as open source software. Motorola does not
endorse, support, or discourage the use of any these viewers. MIB viewers are available
and/or described at the following web sites:

http://www.adventnet.com/products/snmputilities/

12 SETTING THE TIME TAB OF THE AP

If you use a CMMmicro to provide time and date to an AP, click the Configuration link on
the left side of the General Status tab in the AP. When the AP responds by opening the
Configuration page to the General tab, click the Time tab. An example of this tab is
displayed in Figure 32.

Figure 32: Time tab of AP, example

Enter the IP address of the CMMmicro on this tab. To force the AP to obtain time and
date before the first (or next) 15-minute interval query of the NTP server, click Get Time
through NTP.

If you enter a time and date, the format for entry is

Time : hh / mm / ss

Date : MM / dd / yyyy

where
hh represents the two-digit hour in the range 00 to 24
mm represents the two-digit minute
ss represents the two-digit second
MM represents the two-digit month
dd represents the two-digit day
yyyy represents the four-digit year

13 ISOLATING SMs
You can prevent connected APs from directly communicating with each other, which
prevents SMs that are in different sectors of a cluster from communicating with each
other. In the CMMmicro, SM isolation treatment is the result of how you choose to
manage the port-based VLAN feature of the embedded switch, where you can switch all
traffic from any AP or BH to an uplink port that you specify. However, this is not packet
level switching. It is not based on VLAN IDs. See Selecting Ports for Management and
the Port-based VLAN Feature on Page 59.

14 MAINTAINING YOUR CMMmicro SOFTWARE

Motorola provides release compatibility information and caveats about each release.
CMMmicro Releases through Release 3.0 are supported.

14.1 ENSURING CMMmicro COMPATIBILITY

14.1.1 Compatibility of CMMmicro Software with CMMmicro Hardware

The CMMmicro contains both a programmable logic device (PLD) and software.
These must be compatible.

14.1.2 Compatibility with an SNMP-based Management System

Although MIB files are textual and do not constitute software, they define objects
associated with configurable parameters and indicators for the module and its links.
In each release, some of these parameters and indicators are not carried forward from
the previous release, and some parameters and indicators are introduced or changed.

For this reason, you must use the MIB files from your download to replace previous MIB
files in conjunction with your software upgrades, even if the file names are identical to
those of your previous files. Date stamps on the MIB files distinguish the later set.

14.1.3 Compatibility with Radio Hardware

Further, the CMMmicro must be compatible with both the software release and hardware
of attached APs and BHs. These attached modules must have been manufactured in
October 2002 or later. Within the same network, radios can operate on multiple software
releases. However, the features that can be enabled are limited to those that the earliest
software supports.

APs and BHs that were manufactured earlier do not support sync on the power leads of
the Ethernet port. To determine whether the AP or BH hardware is compatible with the
CMMmicro, see Table 17.

Table 17: AP/BH compatibility with CMMmicro

Range of MAC Addresses (ESNs)

Module Type Incompatible Compatible
with CMMmicro with CMMmicro
900 MHz AP none all
2.4 GHz AP or BHM none all
3.5 AP or BHM none all
4.9 AP or BHM none all
5.2 GHz AP or BHM ≤ 0A003E0021C8 ≥ 0A003E0021C9
5.4 GHz FSK or OFDM
none all
AP or BHM
5.7 GHz AP or BHM ≤ 0A003EF00F79 ≥ 0A003EF00F7A
5.8 AP or BHM none all

Issue 1 95
June 2010 CMMmicro User Guide
Release 3.0

CMMmicro is not compatible with radios of the hardware series P7, but is compatible with
any of those in P8 and later.

14.2 USING RELEASE NOTES

Motorola supports each release with software release notes, which include

◦ description of features that are introduced in the new release.

◦ issues that the new release resolves.
◦ known issues and special notes for the new release.
◦ installation procedures for the new release.

14.3 TYPICAL UPGRADE PROCESS

In a typical upgrade process, proceed as follows:

1. Visit http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/software/.
2. Read the compatibility information and any caveats that Motorola associates with
the release.
3. Read the software release notes from the web site.
4. On the basis of these, decide whether the release is appropriate for your
network.
5. Download the software release and associated files.

NOTE:
You may be prompted for information that identifies yourself and your
organization before being permitted to download the software or the associated
documentation.

6. Use the Network Updater tool (described in the following section) to manage the
upgrade across your network.

14.4 USING THE NETWORK UPDATER TOOL (CNUT)

The Network Updater tool manages and automates the software and firmware upgrade
process for a CMMmicro. This eliminates the need for an administrator to visit the
equipment site to perform an upgrade on it.

14.4.1 CNUT Functions

The Network Updater tool

◦ automatically discovers the CMMmicro in its hierarchical position within the

network.
◦ allows you to choose among updating
− your entire network.
− only elements that you select.
− only network branches that you select.

96 Issue 1
CMMmicro User Guide June 2010
Release 3.0

◦ includes a Script Engine that you can use with any script that
− you define.
− Motorola provides.

14.4.2 Network Element Groups

With Network Updater, you can identify element groups composed of network elements
that you select. Identifying these element groups

◦ organizes the display of elements (for example, by region or by AP cluster).

◦ allows you to
− perform an operation on all elements in the group simultaneously.
− set group-level defaults for telnet or ftp password access and SNMP
Community String (defaults that can be overridden in an individual element
when necessary).

14.4.3 Network Layers

A typical network contains multiple layers of elements, each layer lying farther from the
Point of Presence. For example, SMs are behind an AP and thus, in this context, at a
lower layer than the AP. Correctly arranging these layers in Network Updater is essential
so that Network Updater can perform upgrades in an appropriate sequence.

14.4.4 CNUT Downloads

The dependencies of each CNUT software release are provided in the associated CNUT
release notes, which are available from the software downloads web page:

http://motorola.wirelessbroadbandsupport.com/software/

CNUT can be downloaded together with each current radio system software release. The
instances of radio software are packaged as either

◦ a .zip file to use without the CNUT application.

◦ a .pkg file that the CNUT application can open.

17 LEGAL NOTICES

17.1 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 user’s authority to operate the equipment and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

17.2 NATIONAL AND REGIONAL REGULATORY NOTICES

17.2.1 Equipment Disposal

Please do not dispose of Electronic and Electric Equipment or Electronic and Electric Accessories
with your household waste. In some countries or regions, collection systems have been set up to
handle waste of electrical and electronic equipment. In European Union countries, please contact
your local equipment supplier representative or service center for information about the waste
collection system in your country.

17.2.2 EU Declaration of Conformity for RoHS Compliance

The People’s Republic of China requires that Motorola’s products comply with China Management
Methods (CMM) environmental regulations. (China Management Methods refers to the regulation
Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products.) Two items are
used to demonstrate compliance; the label and the disclosure table.

The label is placed in a customer visible position on the product.

◦ Logo 1 means that the product contains no substances in excess of the maximum
concentration value for materials identified in the China Management Methods regulation.
◦ Logo 2 means that the product may contain substances in excess of the maximum
concentration value for materials identified in the China Management Methods regulation,
and has an Environmental Friendly Use Period (EFUP) in years, fifty years in the example
shown.

The Environmental Friendly Use Period (EFUP) is the period (in years) during which the Toxic and
Hazardous Substances (T&HS) contained in the Electronic Information Product (EIP) will not leak
or mutate causing environmental pollution or bodily injury from the use of the EIP. The EFUP
indicated by the Logo 2 label applies to a product and all its parts. Certain field-replaceable parts,
such as battery modules, can have a different EFUP and are marked separately.

The Disclosure table is intended to communicate compliance with only China requirements; it is not
intended to communicate compliance with EU RoHS or any other environmental requirements.

property, or (iii) interim relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to
that party or to others.

against the other party in the event of any breach hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by that
party as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent action in the event of future breaches.
