2 Product Description
The following sections describe the CMMmicro, first in terms of the services and features
it offers and then in terms of the hardware and software it consists of.

2.1 Services and Features

A CMMmicro provides the following services and features:
2.1.1 Network Interconnection
A CMMmicro contains an 8-port managed switch which supports Power over Ethernet
(PoE) on each port and connects up to 8 APs, BHMs, BHSs, or Ethernet feeds. A
CMMmicro auto-negotiates to match inputs that are either 100 BaseT or 10 BaseT, and
either full duplex or half duplex. These parameters can also be set by the operator if so
desired.
2.1.2 Power Distribution
A CMMmicro distributes power to up to 8 APs, BHMs, or BHSs using Power over
Ethernet (PoE). Ports can be powered or not powered, using a browser interface to the
managed switch. Input to a CMMmicro is nominal 24 V DC, and output to the modules is
also nominal 24 V DC. The CMMmicro comes with a separate 115/230 V AC to 24 V
DC power converter.
2.1.3 Sync Distribution
A CMMmicro distributes synchronization to Access Point modules (APs) and Backhaul
Timing Master modules (BHMs). It receives timing information from Global Positioning
System (GPS) satellites through an antenna, and distributes the synchronization signal to
up to 8 modules (APs or BHMs). The 1 pulse-per-second timing received from the GPS
is embedded in the 24 V power that is sent to each module.
Important! Most Canopy APs and BHs are compatible with the CMMmicro, but some
early APs and BHs manufactured before October, 2002, do not support sync on the power
leads of the Ethernet port and therefore cannot be used with the CMMmicro. The
following table shows AP and BH compatibility with CMMmicro.

MAC Address (ESN) Not Compatible with Compatible with

CMMmicro CMMmicro
5.2 Modules ≤ 0a003ef00f79 ≥ 0a003ef00f7a
5.7 Modules ≤ 0a003e0021c8 ≥ 0a003e0021c9

Important! APs and BHs must be running Canopy Release 4.0 or greater to allow them
to use the sync signal embedded in the power-over-Ethernet.
Synchronization is the key to operation of a Canopy network. An isolated AP or AP
cluster 5 miles (8 km) from any other Canopy equipment, or an isolated, standalone

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 9 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

backhaul link, may run on sync generated by the AP or BHM. Any larger network
requires external GPS synchronization like that provided by the CMMmicro or CMM2. If
one AP or BH is not synchronized, then it may transmit during a receive cycle of the
other modules and cause the receiver to be desensed.
2.1.4 Reduced Cables (Compared with CMM2)
A CMMmicro provides Ethernet, power, and synch to a Canopy AP or BH over one
cable terminating in an RJ-45 connector. (A CMM2 requires two cables per modules -
one provides Ethernet and power terminating in an RJ-45 connector, and the other
provides synch over a serial interface terminating in an RJ-11 connector.)
Important! This feature - halving the number of cables - gives a significant cost
reduction. The savings are dependent on site layout, cable costs, and installation costs.
Halving the number of cable and connections also reduces possible trouble points or
failure points.
Important! The second CMM2 cable per module is a serial interface carrying GPS
status and time & date, as well as synch. Without this cable, the following features are
affected:
- With CMMmicro, the GPS status information is available at the CMMmicro, instead
of at each connected BHM or AP.
- The CMMmicro does not provide time & date information to BHMs and APs. If they
are power cycled and if the operator wants accurate time-of-day information in them,
that information can be manually entered using the module’s Time & Date page after
a power cycle.
2.1.5 Browser Interface to Managed Switch
A CMMmicro has Status, Configuration, GPS Status and other pages accessible through
any browser, using the CMMmicro’s IP address. The CMMmicro can be configured and
monitored through these pages, and the power to each of the 8 ports turned on or off.
GPS status including antenna connection status is now available at the CMM, which can
help in troubleshooting synch issues.
2.1.6 SNMP Interface to Managed Switch
A CMMmicro can be managed with a Network Manager using Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). Most functionality provided by the CMMmicro’s web
browser interface is supported by the Canopy Enterprise MIB.
The necessary Management Information Bases (MIBs) are included in the MIB files in
the Canopy 4.1 Software Release.
2.1.7 Lightning Protection
The CMMmicro electrical design allows it to “ride-out” electrical surges generated by
near-field lightning. This affords a level of protection to the CMMmicro, but still requires
proper lightning protection on the tower or other CMMmicro location.
Important! The ground bonding point on the CMMmicro is the ground connection on
the terminal block. This bonding point must be tied to solid ground following local or

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 10 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

national electrical standards.

Important! Grounding of the CMMmicro should be one part of an overall lightning
protection plan including grounding of the tower or location the APs or BHs are mounted
on.
2.1.8 Weatherized Enclosure
A CMMmicro comes in a lockable weatherized enclosure. The CMMmicro can be
mounted on a tower, on a rooftop, on the outside of a tower electronics hut, inside a tower
electronics hut, or inside a building wiring closet. A CMMmicro in its weatherized
enclosure is smaller and lighter than the CMM2 in its weatherized enclosure.
Important! The CMMmicro is not designed to contain the 24 V DC power converter in
the same weatherized enclosure, unlike the CMM2. The power converter can be located
in a hut or wiring closet, or in its own weatherized enclosure. In many applications this
gives additional flexibility in placement of the CMMmicro. For example, the power
supply can be in a hut and the CMMmicro half-way up a tower, with 24 V (not 115/230
V AC) between them.

2.2 Hardware and Software

A CMMmicro consists of the following hardware and software:

4. Female BNC connector for connecting to coax cable from GPS antenna
Important! The CMMmicro coax cable uses a male N (screw) connector at the antenna
end, and a BNC (easy quarter twist) male connector at the CMM end. The CMM2 coax
cable uses a male N connector at each end. If replacing a CMM2 with a CMMmicro, use
an N to BNC adapter, or change the cable.
5. Status display of 8 green LEDs. The left LEDs show the number of satellites
visible to the CMMmicro (1, 2, ≥ 4, and ≥ 8), and the right LEDs show status:
• RDY (Ready) – Flashing LED indicates CMMmicro software has
booted and is operational. LED continues to flash during normal
operation.
• SYNC – Constant LED indicates CMMmicro is receiving signal from

the GPS antenna and is able to derive sync.

• DFLT (default) – Constant LED indicates CMMmicro has booted with
Override switch in down/override position, and therefore with default
IP address and no password.
• PWR (power) – Constant LED indicates CMMmicro has power.
6. 8-port Ethernet connection block with 2 LEDs per port indicating port status.
7. Constant red LED to the right of each port indicates the port is powered with
24 V DC (controlled by the CMMmicro Configuration page).
8. Constant green LED to the left of each port indicates the port is detecting
Ethernet connectivity.
9. Override toggle switch, for overriding a lost or unknown IP address or

3.1 Connectivity
The following diagram shows CMMmicro connectivity.

Figure 4: CMMmicro Connectivity

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 16 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

3.2 Electrical Requirements

Power input to the CMMmicro is nominal 24 V DC. Included along with the CMMmicro
is a 24 V DC power converter that uses an input of nominal 115 V 60 Hz or 230 V 50 Hz
current. The power converter plugs into an AC receptacle using a standard IEC power
cord (commonly used for computers, stereo equipment, and other electronic equipment).
Different cords are available to provide region- or country-specific plugs.
The CMMmicro requires an input voltage between 21.5 and 26.5 V DC, and can draw as
much as 3.36 A at 24 V. The following table shows the resulting wire size needed vs
cable length.

Cable length from CMMmicro Wire size

to 24 V Power Converter
270 ft (~80 m) 12 AWG (4 mm2)
450 ft (~140 m) 10 AWG (6 mm2)
675 ft (~205 m) 8 AWG (10 mm2)
950 ft (~290 m) 6 AWG (16 mm2)

Ensure the site design conforms to the National Electrical Code (NEC) or appropriate
country and local codes. If uncertain of code requirements, obtain the services of a
licensed electrician.

3.3 Cabling
Important! Use shielded cables for all Canopy infrastructure cabling (between APs,
BHs, and CMMs) due to the RF environment around typical installations.
Important! The shield should be terminated on both ends of the cable.
Each port auto-senses the Ethernet termination – either straight or cross-over cables can
be used.
The cabling design should include best practices associated with cabling, including:
• Include a “service loop” at both ends of the cable. The service loop provides an
additional foot or two (0.6 m) of cable for thermal expansion and contraction and
re-termination to the connector if needed.
• Use di-electric grease on all connectors to reduce the potential for corrosion.
• For vertical runs, provide cable support and strain relief per local or national
practice.
The Ethernet limit of a maximum 328 ft (100 m) between managed elements applies. The
CMMmicro must be within 328 cable ft (100 cable meters) of the furthest AP, BH, or any
router or managed element it is connected to.

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 17 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

3.4 GPS
The GPS antenna must be located so it has a clear view of the sky (20 degrees off the
horizon). The antenna needs to be within 100 cable ft (30.5 cable meters) of the
CMMmicro (using LMR-200 coaxial cable). The GPS antenna does not need to be
particularly high at the site. When placing the antenna, consider its exposure to lightning.
Since Canopy uses the sync from GPS but not altitude, latitude, or longitude, it can be
placed anywhere vertical or horizontal within the maximum cable distance – it just needs
a clear view of the sky.

3.5 Lightning and Grounding

The ground or Protective Earth (PE) terminal on the internal terminal block is the
ground bonding point in the CMMmicro. The enclosure, the ground or Protective Earth
(PE) terminal on the internal terminal block, and the -V terminal on the internal
terminal block are all on the same ground circuit. Connect the ground or Protective Earth
(PE) terminal on the internal terminal block to the site ground window or grounding
plate, using a gage of wire as specified in applicable local or national electrical codes.
The terminal block is sized for 8 AWG (10 mm2) solid, 10 AWG (6 mm2) solid or
stranded, or 12 AWG (4 mm2) solid or stranded wire.
For best protection, ensure the CMMmicro is well-grounded (completely to ground)
through the tower or supporting structure using the stainless steel flanges or a ground
strap. Also ensure the location is properly grounded for lightning protection according to
all applicable national and local codes.
If a wired Ethernet feed is used, run the feed through a Canopy Surge Suppressor at the
far end, near ground.
Mount all equipment (AP, CMM, or GPS antenna) at least 2 feet (~0.6 m) below the
highest point at the site for lightning strike mitigation. It is highly recommended that the
site have a lightning protection system installed.

3.6 Networking
You assign the CMMmicro an IP address consistent with your network’s IP addressing
plan. In most cases, you will want the CMM only accessible within your network, so
assign it an address from the ranges which are not routed over the internet:

• 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
• 169.254.0.0 – 169.254.255.255
You can also assign subnet mask and network gateway for the CMMmicro.
The factory default networking information is:

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 18 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

• Unique MAC address

• IP address of 169.254.1.1
• Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0
• Network gateway of 169.254.0.0

3.7 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Like the other elements in a Canopy network, a CMMmicro can be managed using an
SNMP Network Manager. The Canopy Enterprise MIB for Release 4.1, consisting of 5
MIB definition files, includes MIB objects needed to monitor and control a CMMmicro.

4 Installation and Operation Procedures

Installation of a CMMmicro consists of the following steps:
• Unpack
• Configure and Test
• Install
• Verify
During each step, you will want to also perform similar actions on other Canopy
equipment (APs and BHs) being installed at the same location.

4.1 Unpack
Upon receipt, carefully inspect all shipping boxes for signs of damage. If there is
damage, immediately notify the transportation company.
Unpack equipment, making sure that all ordered components have arrived. Save the
packing materials - they can be used for transportation of the equipment to and from
installation sites.

4.2 Configure and Test

The best practice is to connect all the modules (BHs, APs, GPS antenna, and
CMMmicro) in a bench or depot or lab setting and configure and verify them, before
beginning the physical installation. Circumstances or local practice may require a
different approach – modify the following procedures appropriately.
Procedure: Configure CMMmicro
1. Start with the 24 V DC power converter UNCONNECTED to AC mains. (Don’t
plug it into an AC receptacle yet.)
2. Connect the CMMmicro to the 24 V power converter using the 10-foot (3 m) cord
attached to the power converter. The lead with black insulation with a white stripe
is 24 V DC and connects to +V on the CMMmicro terminal block. The lead with
black insulation and no white stripe is Return and connects to -V on the
CMMmicro terminal block.
3. Connect the power converter to an AC receptacle using the AC power hcord.
4. Wait for the CMMmicro to boot and become ready. Completion of booting takes
under a minute and is indicated by a flashing green RDY LED. The LED will
continue to flash during normal operation.
5. Observe which, if any, Ethernet ports are powered, as indicated by a red LED to
the right of the Ethernet port. Figure 3: CMMmicro Door Label shows the
position of this +24 V OUT LED indicator. Connect a browser-equipped
computer to any unpowered port (one without the red LED lit) on the 8-port
Ethernet block of the CMMmicro using either a straight-through or crossover
Ethernet cable (the CMMmicro auto-senses the cable type).

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 20 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

Caution! Do not connect 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
Figure 2: CMMmicro Circuit Board. A powered port has 24 V DC on pins 7 and 8 and
24 V return on pins 4 and 5, and could potentially damage other networking equipment
like computers and routers.
6. Configure your computer to use DHCP, with no proxies set in your network
settings.
7. Connect to the CMMmicro using your browser and the CMMmicro’s default IP
address of 169.254.1.1
8. Your browser should now display the CMM Status page.
9. Proceed to configure the IP address and turn on power to selected ports using the
Configuration Page described in Section 4.2.2.
10. After configuring the CMMmicro, configure the APs and BHs using their user
manuals.
Important! Each AP or BH which connects to a CMMmicro must have the Sync Input
parameter on the module’s Configuration page set to Sync to Received Signal (Power
Port). See the AP and BH User Manuals (Issue 5 or later) for more information on setting
Sync Input based on network design.

4.2.1 Status Page

The status page shows status of the system.

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 21 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

Figure 5: CMMmicro Status Page

The following parameters are displayed:

Link: A red indicator means the port is active and has detected Ethernet traffic. A
greyed-out indicator means the port is not active and no traffic is detected.
100BaseT: A red indicator means the port has auto-negotiated to a 100-BaseT
connection. A greyed-out indicator means the port has auto-negotiated to a 10-BaseT
connection. (The convention is similar to that seen on many routers and network interface
cards.) If the far end (an AP, a BH, a router) has been set to auto-negotiate, the
CMMmicro will link at 100-BaseT.
Full Duplex: A red indicator means the port has auto-negotiated to a Full Duplex
connection. A greyed-out indicator means the port has auto-negotiated to a Half Duplex
connection. (The convention is similar to that seen on many routers and network interface
cards.)
Powered: A red indicator means the port is powered with 24 V DC for providing power
to an AP or BH. A greyed-out indicator means the port is not powered. Port power is
turned on and off using the Configuration page. A CMMmicro comes from the factory
with no Ethernet ports powered.

Caution! Do not connect devices other than Canopy modules to a powered

port. A powered port has 24 V DC on pins 7 and 8, and could potentially damage other

Device Type: Displays the MAC address of the module.

GPS Timing Pulse: Select Master. Slave is for future use.
Important! If the GPS Timing Pulse is set to Slave, the CMMmicro will not sync off
the GPS unit and therefore will not work.
Lan1 IP: Enter the IP address that will be associated with the Ethernet connection on
this module. The default address is 169.254.1.1. If the IP address is forgotten, the
operator can override the IP address using the Override Switch. See steps at end of
section for details.
LAN Subnet Mask: Enter the appropriate subnet mask for the module to “talk” on
the network. The default value for this parameter is 255.255.0.0.
Default Gateway: Enter the appropriate gateway for the module to “talk” on the
network. The default for this parameter is 169.254.0.0.
Power Port Control: Controls 24 V DC power on each port. Turn power on to ports

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 24 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

computers, or other network equipment.

Caution! Do not turn on power to a port until you have confirmed what is
connected to it. Powered ports should ony be connected to Canopy APs and BHs. A
powered port has 24 V DC on pins 7 and 8, and could potentially damage networking
equipment, including computers and routers.
Display-Only Access: Enter the same password in both fields for verification. The
display-only password, when used, will allow only view activities to the module.
When the display-only password is set and not the full-access password, the display-
only password will be tied to telnet and FTP sessions to the module. If the full-access
password is also set then it has precedence on the telnet and FTP sessions. If the
password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to the module. See steps
at end of section for details.
Full Access: Enter the same password in both fields for verification. The full-access
password, when used, will allow view and change activities to the module. When the
full-access password is set, the password will also be tied to telnet and FTP sessions
to the module. When prompted for the password via the web-based interface, no
username is required – the field can be left blank. However when prompted for the
password via a telnet or FTP session, the user name that must be used is “root”. If the
password is forgotten, the operator will need physical access to the module. See steps
at end of section for details.
Webpage Auto Update: Enter time period (in seconds) desired to have the web
browser refresh the web-based interface. The default setting is 0, which will cause
the web-based interface to never refresh.
SNMP Community String: Enter a string that will allow a SNMP management server
accessibility to the SNMP information. There must not be any spaces in the community
string. The default for this parameter is “Canopy”.
SNMP Accessing Subnet: enter the network that will be allowed to access SNMP
information from the canopy module. There are two pieces of information needed:
• The network in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
• The CIDR (Classless Interdomain Routing) prefix length in the form of /xx
An example would be 198.32.0.0/16 where /16 is a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. If you
need more background on this topic, do an Internet search on Classless Interdomain
Routing will provide more information on this topic. The default is to allow all networks
access.
Trap Address: enter in an IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) of an SNMP management
server where trap information can be sent. A trap is a way for the module to tell the
monitoring system that something has happened. The following is a scenario where a
trap would be sent:
• After a reboot of the module if a SNMP management server tried to access agent

made and not committed through a reboot of the module.
Set to Factory Defaults: Clicking this button will change all of the configurable
parameters (all of which are contained on the Configuration page) back to their
factory settings.
Reboot: Clicking this button will reboot the module.

4.2.3 Overriding Forgotten IP Addresses or Passwords

Important! Since the CMMmicro is part of your infrastructure, as are the APs and BHs
connected to it, good business practice is to have a plan and good record keeping for all
IP addresses and passwords. Overriding a tower-mounted CMMmicro or its APs and BHs
requires a tower climb and downtime for a portion of your network –avoid that with
careful planning and execution if possible.
An override toggle switch on the CMMmicro circuit board allows the operator to
temporarily override a lost or unknown IP address or password. Down is the normal
position, while power cycling in the up position brings the CMMmicro up with the
default IP address (169.254.1.1) and no password required.
Procedure: Regaining access to the CMMmicro using the override toggle switch
1. Gain physical access to the inside of the CMMmicro enclosure.
2. Gain direct Ethernet connectivity to the CMMmicro, not through one of its APs or
BHs.

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 26 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

Important! When in override mode, a CMMmicro provides no power on its ports.

Therefore, you cannot gain browser access to the CMMmicro through one of its APs or
BHs when it is in override mode.
3. Flip the toggle switch up (toward you).
4. Power cycle the CMMmicro.
Result: The module reboots with the default IP address of 169.254.1.1,
password fields blank, and all other configuration values as previously set.
Important! When in override mode, a CMMmicro provides no power on its ports. Any
APs or BHs connected to the CMMmicro will not work while the CMM is in override
mode.
5. Set passwords as desired, or enter a blank space to set no password.
6. Change configuration values if desired.
7. Click on Save Changes.
8. Flip the toggle switch down (away from you).
9. Click on Reboot.

4.2.4 Event Log

This page may contain information that can be useful under the guidance of Canopy

4.2.6 Port MIB (Ethernet Stats)

Figure 8: Port MIB page

The Port MIB (Ethernet Stats) page displays Ethernet statistics and traffic information for
the ports on the managed switch. Click on a port number to display the port’s statistics.
Ports 1 through 8 are the regular ports, connected to APs, BHs, or other network
elements. Port 9 is the connection between the managed switch and the CMMmicro
processor. Interface page updates, SNMP activity, FTP, and telnet create traffic on port 9.
These Ethernet statistics can also be retrieved from the CMMmicro with a Network
Manager using SNMP.
This information can be useful during advanced troubleshooting to see the activity on one
port, and compare activity between ports on the CMMmicro.

4.3 Install
Install the CMMmicro following standard local or national electrical procedures and
standard local or national tower climbing procedures.
Perform installation of the CMMmicro when outside temperatures are above –20°C (-
4°F). The bulkhead connector and the bushings and inserts in the bulkhead connector are
rated for the full –40°C to +55°C range of the CMMmicro. However they are only

Issue 1 February 2004 Page 29 of 37

CMMmicro User Guide

compliant and rated for dynamic operations (loosening, tightening, inserting) down to
–20°C.

The following tools may be needed during installation:

• 3/8” nut driver
• 12” adjustable wrench
• 7/16” wrench for installation of GPS mounting bracket
• 14mm wrench for installation of Cluster Management Module pole-mounting

4.3.1 Power Supply Install

Perform the following procedure to install the provided power supply:
1. Install the CMMmicro power converter in a weatherized space, either in a hut,
wiring closet, or weatherized enclosure.

Warning! Although the output of the power converter is 24 V, its 100 W

power rating means it is classified as a Class 2 electric device. This means the operator
must disconnect (unplug) AC power to the DC converter, before working on power in
the CMMmicro.

2. Connect the 6 foot (2 m) AC power cord to the power converter and to an AC

receptacle.
3. Unplug the AC power cord from the receptacle.
4. If the CMMmicro will be mounted in the hut or wiring closet with the power
converter, connect the 10 foot (3 m) DC power cord to the CMMmicro. Go
through the bulkhead connector, and connect to the terminal block in the
CMMmicro. Black goes to V- and black/white goes to V+.
5. The 10 foot (3 m) power cord on the DC converter is rated for outdoor use. If the
distance to the CMMmicro exceeds 10 cable feet (3 cable meters) allowing for
slack, then use a terminal block, connector or splice to add the additional cable
needed. The terminal block, connector, or splice must be in the hut or wiring
closet, or in a weatherized enclosure, or otherwise protected.
6. For outside runs, the DC cable should meet the wire size from the above table,
and be UV-resistant (or shielded from UV, for example in conduit), direct-burial
grade cable meeting 75°C wet, 95°C dry, UL1277 or equivalent.
