 450 Platform Release 16.0/16.0.0.1/16.0.1
Information
Introduction
This document provides information for 450 Platform Series System Release 16.0, 16.0.0.1 and
16.0.1. 16.0.1 is a bug fix replacement for 16.0 and 16.0.0.1 and also includes three additional small
features. Any customer planning to upgrade, should upgrade to 16.0.1. Any customers who already
deployed 16.0 and are experiencing issues, are encouraged to upgrade from 16.0 to 16.0.1. This
Release Notes include the deltas in 16.0.1 on top of the full set of 16.0 and 16.0.0.1 release notes.
Software updates for Cambium products are available from:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files

System Release 16.0.1 adds support for:

l For 3 GHz, a DL ratio of 85% is supported for FCC regions. Prior to this, 75% was the highest DL
ratio supported in FCC regions
l 7 MHz Channel Bandwidth is supported on 3 GHz 450m
l 3 GHz and 5 GHz 450m supports 5 ms Frame Period with 30 MHz Channel Bandwidth
l The PTP 450b ETSI product is now available and supported in software.
System Release 16.0 adds support for:
l PMP 450m features:
n 3 GHz PMP 450m AP
n 5 GHz Tx power boost upto 48 dBm (where regulatory limits allow)
n UL MU-MIMO support for PMP 450m
n AUX port support for the PoE feature and bridging
n DC LPU support for PMP 450m
l Other features:
n PTP 450b support
n GUI configuration to change an SM to Backhaul and vice versa in PTP 450b/450i
n Co-location with LTE devices
l Following Channel Bandwidths supported by the 3 GHz PMP 450m AP
n 5 MHz, 7 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 30 MHz, 40 MHz

Note:
40 MHz only supports 2.5 ms Frame Period. This is imited only on the 450m.

DES and AES-256 Encryption

Release 15.2 introduced enhanced over-the-air data encryption using an AES-256, which requires a
purchasable feature key to enable. Over-the-air data encryption using DES is no longer supported,
only AES-128 and AES-256. None of this functionality is new to 16.0 but the information is being
repeated for customers who are upgrading directly from 15.1.5.

5 | pmp-2621_001v000 Cambium 450 Platform | Release Notes

 An AP running DES on 15.1.5 will have an encryption setting of NONE after upgrading to 15.2 or
later. SMs that were configured for DES will no longer be using any encryption; however, if the AP
is changed to AES and rebooted, the SMs will automatically register using AES encryption.
l A device with 15.2 or later software release can communicate with a pre-15.2 device using AES-
128.
l An AP with 15.2 or later software release can operate with a mixed sector of SMs (some using
AES-128 and some using AES-256).
l Devices operating at DES before an upgrade from 15.1.5 will operate with no encryption after
upgrade.
l PMP 430 SMs with 15.2 software release or later operate with no encryption.
In the UI, under Home > General Status > Device information, the AP displays both its capability
and its encryption configuration.

Recommendations for upgrading DES sectors:

l Upgrade AP first: all links operate with no encryption after upgrade
l Upgrade all SMs: as the AP no longer has DES configuration, the SMs can operate with no
encryption without being stranded

Applicability
Software release 16.0.1 is compatible with all 450 platform models (both PMP and PTP), also 430
SM in 450 compatibility mode.

Feature Overview
System Release 16.0.1 includes:

Features Description
The features introduced in System Release 16.0.1 features are as follows:

DL ratio of 3 GHz PMP 450m AP

For 3 GHz, a DL ratio of 85% is supported for FCC regions. Prior to this, 75% was the higher DL ratio
supported in FCC regions.

7 MHz Channel Bandwidth support on 3 GHz PMP 450m AP

7 MHz Channel Bandwidth is now supported on 3 GHz 450m. When the 3GHz 450m was first
released in 16.0, the Cambium spec sheet incorrectly listed 7 MHz as one of the supported
Bandwidths. With 16.0.1, the software now aligns with the released spec sheet.

5 ms Frame Period support on 3/5 GHz PMP 450m AP

3 GHz and 5 GHz 450m supports 5 ms Frame Period with 30 MHz Channel Bandwidth.
The features introduced in System Release 16.0 features are as follows:

3 GHz PMP 450m AP

This release introduces the 3 GHz PMP 450m AP with following capabilities:
l Enhanced sector capacity by combining a smart beamforming antenna array with multiple RF
transmit and receive chains, effectively multiplying available capacity by more than three
times.

7 | pmp-2621_001v000 Cambium 450 Platform | Release Notes

 l Capable of throughputs of 450 Mbps in a 20 MHz channel, and over 800 Mbps per sector when
using a 40 MHz channel.
l Multi-User MIMO uses available spectrum more efficiently by increasing spectral efficiency to
more than 40 bps/Hz per site.
l Reduced effect of interference in both Uplink and Downlink with smart beamforming.
l SFP port allows for greater deployment flexibility, and AUX port allows for connection of
camera or other PoE directly.
l Supported frequency range from 3300 MHz to 3900 MHz
l Similar to 5 GHz PMP 450m, the 3 GHz PMP 450m can be purchased at full price and shipped
MU-MIMO licensed. Or, for a reduced price, the limited model can be purchased. When the
limited model is purchased, the radio comes with “MU-MIMO ready” hardware with a Demo
mode. The Demo mode allows the use of MU-MIMO feature for 30 days with an option to pause
and resume the demo time. The GUI offers an option to enable or disable the MU-MIMO feature.
A license key can be purchased at any time in the future to upgrade to the radio from SU-MIMO
to MU-MIMO permanently.

UL MU-MIMO support
This release introduces the MU-MIMO feature for the PMP 450m AP in the UL direction, for
transmissions of UL ACKs and data. This feature applies not only to the new 3 GHz PMP 450m AP,
but also to the 5 GHz PMP 450m AP.

Note:
To use this feature, both SMs and the 450m AP must be upgraded to 16.0 or later. If SMs are left on an older
release, UL traffic will continue to be scheduled SU-MIMO.

UL Link Test with Multiple LUIDs

This release supports Link Test with Multiple LUIDs not only in the DL direction, but also in the UL
direction, and bidirectional. This includes controlling the timing of all SMs to start and end the link
test at the same time.

AUX port support

This release introduces the 3 GHz PMP 450m AP with an AUX port with following modes:
l Data in: this is in addition to Main or SFP. Supported configurations are Main+AUX or SFP+AUX
l PoE out to power a device and bridging data to the device
l PoE out to power a device without bridging data to the device

5 GHz PTP 450b

This release introduces new 5 GHz 450b models that support PTP mode (BHM/BHS) as well as
Subscriber mode.

GUI configuration for SM/Backhaul

The configuration of PTP keyed 450b/450i devices (i.e. the new 450b models & PTP 450i) can be
changed to BHM/BHS and vice versa through the GUI.
The new 5 GHz 450b models are supplied defaulted to subscriber mode.

8 | pmp-2621_001v000 Cambium 450 Platform | Release Notes

 Co-Location with LTE
In the 3 GHz band, the 450 family of products can be co-located with LTE devices. To align the
frames to 450 frames, select Disable in the Co-located LTE Frame Configuration Option drop-
down menu of the Radio Configuration on the AP.
By selecting any of the LTE frame configurations options, the frame start will shift to align to the
selected option. This feature is only available if 5 ms frame is selected. Enabling this feature
simply shifts the frame start to the LTE frame start. Other frame configuration parameters (duty
cycle, max range, number of contention slots) must be selected correctly to avoid overlap of Tx
and Rx times in the two systems. To verify that the selected parameters allow colocation, you can
use the PMP-LTE co-location tool. (https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/colocationtool/).

LTE frame configuration options

LTE supports two frame lengths, 5 ms and 10 ms. Each 10 ms interval contains 10 subframes, which
are labeled in the Table as D for downlink transmission, U for uplink transmission, and S for special
subframe. The special subframe contains the turnaround time between downlink and uplink
transmissions.

Note:
In 16.0.1, 3 GHz PMP products support Co-Location to frame configurations 0, 1, and 2 in the above table.

Additional Enhancements since System Release 15.2

Additional enhancements since system release 15.2 are listed in the following table:

http://www.cambiumnetworks.com/products/management-tools/wireless-manager

A RADIUS dictionary file is available from the software site:

https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450/

Multiple port VID and MAC address Mappings

16.0/16.0.0.1/16.0.1 adds three VSA’s to the AAA Radius Dictionary to allow these MAC address
mappings to be pushed from RADIUS server if a customer prefers to do this:
Priority is optional, if used, it has to be the first VSA in the tuple.
Following are the Vendor Specific attribute:

11 | pmp-2621_001v000 Cambium 450 Platform | Release Notes

 VSA Name VSA ID Type Description

Cambium-Canopy- 52 integer Priority (optional)

PortMap-Priority

Cambium-Canopy- 53 integer Vlan ID for Port Mapping

PortMap-VLANID

Cambium-Canopy- 54 string MAC Address for corresponding VLAN

PortMap-MacAddr ID for port mapping

Other VSA's can be used interchangeable, there is no order but it has to be in pair.
In free RADIUS server, these VSAs can be configured in the following way:
Cambium-Canopy-PortMap-Priority=3,
Cambium-Canopy-PortMap-VLANID+=77,
Cambium-Canopy-PortMap-MacAddr+="D4-81-D7-D3-50-FA",

In the GUI, when VSA is applied it can viewed in the Configuration > VLAN > Active Configuration
page.

For multiple mapping, this can be done in the following way:

#Pair 1
Cambium-Canopy-PortMap-VLANID=21,
Cambium-Canopy-PortMap-MacAddr="0a0b0c0d0e0f",
#Pair 2
Cambium-Canopy-PortMap-Priority=0,

Note:
For customers using the port VID and MAC address mappings, it is advised that both AP and SM should be
running 16.0.0.1. Additionally, if RADIUS is enabled, please configure Bandwidth Configuration Source to
'Authentication+SM'.

cnMaestro
cnMaestro may also be used to manage Cambium devices. cnMaestro version 1.6.3 is compatible
with existing hardware as well as the new 3 GHz 450m for existing functionality. However, the
newer cnMaestro 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 versions provide additional support – including cnMaestro
support for “Link Test with Multiple LUIDs” in both the UL and DL direction. This allows a user to
test MU-MIMO via link test from cnMaestro. See the cnMaestro release notes for more information.
For more information, please refer www.cambiumnetworks.com/products/software-tools/cnmaestro.

Canopy MIB
The Cambium Enterprise MIB (Management Information Base) consists of 7 MIB definition files
and supports SNMP access to Canopy modules. The MIB files are available for download from:
https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files/pmp450/

MIB files are used by Network Management Systems and Element Management Systems, such as
the Wireless Manager system to support a host of surveillance, monitoring, control, and
operational tasks.
If you are using an SNMP network management system (NMS) or element management system
(EMS) other than Wireless Manager: Load the MIBs per the instructions for your NMS or EMS.

Note:
When loading the MIB files:
l First, load the standard MIB files
l Then, load the Radio-specific MIB files

Some NMSs are not sensitive to order, but some require a specific loading order to build a MIB
tree. Loading in the recommended order avoids these issues.

450m AP’s

All SM CPY-15463 The fix properly terminates a failed AAA Re-authentication. Prior to
this fix, SM software would leave the SM in a state where it would

Known Problems or Limitations in 16.0.1

Known open issues in Release 16.0.1 are listed below:
System Release 16.0.1 known problems

Products Affected Tracking Description

All SM CPY-15643 SM does not drop session during re-authentication, when the RADIUS
user profile is deleted.

PMP 100* CPY-15246 A PMP 100 remote AP will not sync properly if the source device is
running builds newer than 15.1.5. A fix will be provided in a future
release to allow the user to select the remote AP type (PMP 100 or
OTHER). But in the meantime, the Cambium suggested workaround
is to downgrade the source device feeding the remote AP to 15.1.5 or
earlier software.
(*The issue only impacts the ability of PMP 100 remote AP’s to sync
properly. However, the future fix will be coded into OFDM PMP radios
supplying the sync, not into the PMP 100 radio itself.

Please refer to the 450 Platform User Guide for the list of the supported Bands, Regions, and Countries.
