Antenna Configuration
Antenna Selection: Select the antenna for the Subscriber Module

Positioner: (PMP 450i and PTP 670 HCMP Only) Tick this box to add the positioner equipment to the BOM. This is only available for integrated antennas.
Calculate Loss: (N500 Only). Tick the Calculate box to select the type of cable that connects the radio to the antenna. The Cable Loss field is automatically updated.
Cable Length: (N500 Only). The length of cable required to connect the radio to the antenna. The Cable Loss field is automatically updated.
Cable Loss: Only displayed for external antennas, read only value for PMP 450 antenna options.
Antenna Azimuth: Calculated angle from Subscriber Module to Access Point
Antenna Tilt: Calculated elevation angle from Subscriber Module to Access Point - a negative value indicates downtilt is required.
AP Antenna Gain: Calculated value of the Access Point sector antenna in the direction of the Subscriber Module.
Sector (60 GHz cnWave Only): Select sector of the DN. Only available if close to boundary between the sectors otherwise read only.
Power
EIRP: Read only value showing the EIRP of the antenna, if the country selected has a regulatory limit this value is shown in brackets underneath.
Power: Calculated value to meet the SM Receive Target Level at the Access Point, if the country selected has a regulatory limit (or an implied limit to meet the EIRP limit) the value is shown as “Max Power” in brackets underneath.
User Limit: (except cnRanger): Tick the User Limit box and enter a value to limit the maximum transmit power used by the Subscriber Module. This value can only be used to lower the value from the default calculated.
Interference: This is the amount of site noise in the selected channel bandwidth, expected at the antenna connector. This noise is assumed to be a constant power added to the thermal noise of the front end of the radio. The bandwidth displayed depends on the bandwidth selected in the Equipment Settings box (in this example it is 20 MHz). To enter Interference, tick the box and update the default value. If the Access Point has been set up and mean power measurements are available, then use these measurements.
