Project Navigation Tree

When one or more projects are open, navigate between sites and links using the tree in the left hand panel. The following example shows one open project (Navigation Tree):

Use the + and - boxes to open and close each level: project, site (network or subscriber) and link (PTP or PMP). Click on a node to open it for viewing and updating.

link_1plus1 Link Type = 1+1 Hot Standby

link_unit_redundancy Link Type = 2x1+0 Unit Redundancy

link_fd Link Type = 1+1 Frequency Diversity

link_2plus0_co Link Type = 2+0 Co-Polar (ACCP)

link_2plus0_cross Link Type = 2+0 Cross-Polar (ACAP)

link_2plus0_sd Link Type = 2+0 Spatial Diversity (PTP 820C Only)

link_2plus0_xpic Link Type = 2+0 XPIC (CCDP)(PTP 810, PTP 820C and PTP 820G only)

link_2plus2_co Link Type = 2+2 Co-Polar (ACCP)(PTP 820C Only)

link_2plus2_cross Link Type = 2+2 Cross-Polar (ACAP)(PTP 820C Only)

link_2plus2_xpic Link Type = 2+2 XPIC (CCDP)(PTP 820C Only)

link_2plus2_sd Link Type = 2+2 Spatial Diversity (PTP 820C Only)

link_4plus0_co Link Type = 4+0 Co-Polar (ACCP)(PTP 820C/850C Only)

link_4plus0_cross Link Type = 4+0 Cross-Polar (ACAP)(PTP 820C/850C Only)

link_4plus0_xpic Link Type = 4+0 XPIC (CCDP)(PTP 820C/850C Only)

link_multiband Link Type = Multiband (PTP 820/850 80 GHz Only)

The PMP links section has three levels which are differentiated as follows:

hub Hub Site

access_point Access Point - each Hub Site contains one or more Access Points

subscriber Subscriber Module - each Access Point can be connected to one or more Subscriber Modules

Project Node

To display the Project page, click on a project node, for example “Tutorial”. See Project Page. When a project name is displayed in bold in the navigation tree, it means that project details have been inserted or updated but not yet saved.

To save a project, click File, Save (or Save As), or click Save Project save_project. All project, site and link data is saved. The project name reverts to normal typeface when saved.

To see how many sites and links there are in a project hover the mouse over the project name in the navigation tree.

Sites Nodes

To display the list of all network sites within the project, click on the “Network Sites” node. A network site can be either a PTP end site or a PMP Hub or both. To display the list of all subscriber sites within the project, click on the “Subscriber Sites” node. For either site node list, see Displaying the Sites List.

Individual Site Node

To display the Site page, click on an individual site node from either Network Sites or Subscriber Sites, for example “North Middle School”. See Site Page.

Individual PMP Hub Node

To display the Hub page, click on an individual hub node, for example “Golf Club”. See Hubs.

Individual Access Point Node

To display the Access Point page, click on an individual access point node, for example “Golf Club:1”. See Access Points.

Individual Subscriber Module Node

To display the Subscriber Module page, click on an individual subscriber module node, for example “Billings St”. See Subscriber Modules.

Project Configuration Node

To edit custom antennas, TDD synchronization parameters, custom fields, link formatting rules and equipment templates, click on the “Project Configuration” node. See Project Configuration.

Bill of Materials Node

To view the Bill of Materials (BOM) for the whole project, click on the “Bill of Materials” node. For attribute descriptions, see Bill of Materials for Link.
