Exporting Data

Data can be exported in CSV or KML format for the currently open and selected project.

Network Sites (CSV)

To export details of all Network sites to a CSV file, click File, Export, Network Sites (csv).

Subscriber Sites (CSV)

To export details of all Subscriber sites to a CSV file, click File, Export, Subscriber Sites (csv).

Hubs (CSV)

To view the Hubs in Excel, click the “PMP Links” node in the navigation tree and click View in Spreadsheet excel_icon under Hubs.

To export details of all Hubs to a CSV file, click File, Export, Hubs (csv). The CSV file can then be incorporated into a spreadsheet to enable further analysis and costing of the project.

Access Points (CSV)

To view the Access Points in Excel, click the “PMP Links” node in the navigation tree and click View in Spreadsheet excel_icon under Access Points.

To export details of all Access Points to a CSV file, click File, Export, Access Points (csv). The CSV file can then be incorporated into a spreadsheet to enable further analysis and costing of the project.

Subscriber Modules (CSV)

To view the Subscriber Modules in Excel, click the “PMP Links” node in the navigation tree and click View in Spreadsheet excel_icon under Subscriber Modules.

To export details of all Subscriber Modules to a CSV file, click File, Export, Subscriber Modules (csv). The CSV file can then be incorporated into a spreadsheet to enable further analysis and costing of the project.

Google Earth(TM) (KML)

To export details of a single site to a KMZ/KML file, click File, Export, Google Earth (kmz/kml). The KMZ/KML file can then be used to view the project sites in Google Earth(TM).

Performance Chart Data (csv)

To export the data behind the PTP performance charts to a csv file, click File, Export, Performance Chart Data (csv). This generates a four column table of Link Name, Site Name, Availability and Throughput, which can then be post processed as required.

FCC License Coordination

To export the information required for submission to the FCC Licensing Coordination body, click File, Export, FCC License Coordination. The information will be exported to a CSV file, in the format required by Comsearch. This is only available for licensed band PTP links.

PTP 450 / PMP 450 Configuration Files

To export the configuration files for PTP 450 and PMP 450 sites, click File, Export, PTP450/PMP450 Configuration Files. The information for all PTP 450 and PMP 450 sites will be exported to the selected folder and stored in separate sub-folders for PTP and PMP links. All PTP/PMP 450 ends must have a MAC Address before being exported, (see Configuration at Each End (one end shown) for PTP links, Access Point Details for Access Points and Subscriber Module Description for Subscriber Modules).

The configuration files exported from LINKPlanner only contain information defined within LINKPlanner, including location details and equipment configuration, such as country, bandwidth, transmit power, antenna gain, downlink data, control slots etc.

note

Site names which contain non-ASCII characters will not be included in the configuration file, as they cannot be displayed in the product.

60 GHz cnWave cnMaestro Export

To export the information required to import into cnMaestro to automatically populate cnMeastro with the network information, click File, Export, 60 GHz cnWave cnMaestro Export. Then select from the following options and select the folder to save the files in.

  • Nodes - creates a file with all the radios, both DN and CN and their parameters
  • Links - creates a file with all the links, both DN to CN and Mesh

Only radios that are configured for 60 GHz and have both a MAC Address and MSN populated will be exported. A warning will be shown if a 60 GHz radio doesn’t have either a MAC or MSN configured and will be excluded from the export.

There are a few extra fields created in the nodes export file, to populate date into these fields in LINKPlanner, automatically create them by clicking on Project, Create fields for 60 GHz cnWave export to cnMaestro. This will add the following fields to the Access Point and Subscriber Module Details panes:

  • Default Gateway
  • IPv4 Address
  • Network Mask

PTP 450 / PMP 450 FCC CBRS Registration

To export the information required for CBRS SAS registration in cnMaestro for 3.6 GHz devices, click File, Export, PTP450/PMP 450 FCC CBRS Registration. Then select from the following options and select the folder to save the files in.

  • Project - a separate file will be created for each PTP link or AP with its connected subscribers
  • All PTP - a separate file will be created for each PTP link
  • All PMP - a separate file will be created for each AP with its connected subscribers
  • PTP Link - a file will be created just for the link highlighed in the navigation tree
  • Hub - a separate file will be created for each AP on the hub highlighted in the navigation tree
  • Access Point - a file will be created for the AP highlighted in the navigation tree

PTP Links and Access Points need to be configured to 3.6 GHz and have the Regulation/Country set to United States (CBRS) for files to be created. If there are no matching links or Access points the options in the above list will not be available.

There are a number of columns where the information is not directly available from the usual project fields. To include the information for these columns into the Excel file use the Custom Fields functionality to create fields for each column heading, see Custom Fields. For PTP Links it is recommended to configure the fields at the PTP End level, for the Access Points at the Access Point level and for Subscribers configure the fields at the Subscriber Module level. The Custom Fields must use exactly the same names as in the column headers in the excel file, as shown below:

  • Horizontal Accuracy
  • MSN
  • Vertical Accuracy

To automatically create these fields at the PTP End, Access Point and Subscriber Module level, click Project, Create CBRS Device Registration Fields.
