Planning PTP linksΒΆ
The goal of PTP link planning is to ensure that each direction of the link will perform to an acceptable level, measured by the Throughput and Availability values in the Performance Summary section of the Link Page. To allow LINKPlanner to predict Throughput and Availability, the planner must enter the variables that affect link performance, such as: band, region, equipment, antenna, height, terrain, obstructions and reflection.
To achieve this goal, follow this process:
Start the application and set options. See Starting the Application.
Build a project to model a PTP link (or network). See Projects.
Enter details of all sites in the project. See Sites.
Define the links between sites. See Links.
Confirm that the link will perform to an acceptable level, measured by the Throughput and Availability values in the Performance Summary section of the Link Page.
Export and report project, site and link data. See Exporting and Reporting
