Bill of Materials for Link

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. Optional items can be added to the list. The link BOM can be saved as a CSV or Excel file by clicking View in Spreadsheet .

Part numbers for PTP 650L are not included in the BOM. Replace PTP 650S parts with equivalent PTP 650L part numbers and add capacity license key if appropriate. Ignore any range upgrade license key for PTP 650S, this is not required for PTP 650L.

To view the link BOM, open the Link page and scroll down to the ” Bill of Materials for Link” section.

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.

Notes: By default this displays information about certain items, such as whether they are obsolete, or to prompt for additional required information, such as frequencies for the IRFU. This field can be edited to allow additional information to be added to the item. The default text is returned if the edited text is deleted. When information is displayed in the Notes field, items will only be aggregated at the Project Level BOM if the Notes field contains identical information as well as being the same part number.

A warning triangle is displayed on the far left of a line if additional information is required in the Notes field or in the configuration. A star denotes optional extras which have been added to the automatic BOM items and a star with a warning triangle is an optional extra which requires additional information to be included in the note.

Viewing & saving the link BOM file in MS Excel

To view the link BOM in Excel, click View in Spreadsheet while viewing the link BOM. Once in the spreadsheet the file can be saved as normal.

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.

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