Bill of Materials for Link¶

To display the Bill of Materials for the PTP Link select the clipboard symbol bom_icons next to the Save button.

LINKPlanner automatically calculates the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the required components of the planned link. The link BOM contains the list of part numbers and associated quantities for the link.

P/N: The Cambium part number. If the component is not supplied by Cambium, this is set to ‘(no part number)’.

Description: Description of the components.

Qty: Quantity required. This value can be edited, for items automatically added if the quantity is increased the row will be shown in green, if the quantity is decreased from the recommended value, the row will be shown in red. To reset to the default value, click on the value and choose icon_revert .

Notes: Displays information about certain items, such as whether they are obsolete.

To add additional items to the BOM, click new_extra . A list of optional extras for the link will be displayed. To add items to the BOM tick the box next to each item required and click OK. The item will appear in the main list, where the quantity can be adjusted by selecting the number in the Qty column and adjusting as required. To delete optional items from the BOM list, tick the box next to each item and click delete_extra . A star denotes optional extras which have been added to the automatic BOM items.

note

For instructions on how to view and save the BOM for the entire project, see Bill of Materials for Project.

Viewing & saving the link BOM file in MS Excel¶

To view the link BOM in Excel, click table_download_csv in the appropriate BOM section. Once in the spreadsheet the file can be saved as normal.

note

All numeric only part numbers consist of 11 digits, if the number displayed is only 10 digits the part number should start with a zero.

Power from switch¶

To power either or both ends of the link from the switch instead of using the PoE Injector select either end or both from the Power from switch list. This option is only available if the network site has a switch attached to it, see Adding Switches and the product selected can be powered by the switch, which includes most of the PoE powered Cambium radios.

When Power from switch is selected, where possible the PoE and line cord are removed from the BOM, which may result in the kit part number changing to a different kit that doesn’t include a PoE. This is not available for all products and country variants.

note

If TX2000 is the Sync option on PTP 670 the master end will automatically be configured to be powered from the switch.
