Important Regulatory Information
The ePMP product is certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not allowed to
cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated special
requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices. Unlicensed
devices must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.
The ePMP provides detect and avoid functionality for countries and frequency bands requiring
protection for radar systems.
Installers and users must meet all local regulatory requirements for radar detection. To meet these
requirements, users must set the correct country code during commissioning of the ePMP
equipment. If this is not done, installers and users may be liable to civil and criminal penalties.
Contact the Cambium helpdesk if more guidance is required.
Specific expertise and training required for professional installers
To ensure that the ePMP is installed and configured in compliance with the requirements of Industry
Canada and the FCC, installers must have the radio engineering skills and training described in this
section. This is particularly important when installing and configuring an ePMP system for operation
in the 5 GHz band (5150 5250 MHz FCC only, 5250 5350 MHz, 5470 5725 MHz and 5725
5850 MHz).
Ethernet networking skills
The installer must have the ability to configure IP addressing on a PC and to set up and control
products using a web browser interface.
Lightning protection
To protect outdoor radio installations from the impact of lightning strikes, the installer must be
familiar with the normal procedures for site selection, bonding and grounding. Installation guidelines
for the ePMP can be found in section Site planning on page 2-3.
Training
The installer needs to have basic competence in radio and IP network installation. The specific
requirements applicable to the ePMP must be gained by reading this user guide and by performing
sample setups at base workshop before live installations.
