Quick Tutorial - PTP Unlicensed Band

This section is a quick tutorial for experienced Windows or Mac users. It describes how to create a project to analyze the performance of a single PTP link operating in an unlicensed frequency band (below 6 GHz) between two sites.

Before starting this tutorial, complete the following steps:

1. Install the software in the usual way. See Installing LINKPlanner.
2. Start the application.
3. Enter the correct details in the Options (Preferences) page. Ensure that Email address and Network Settings are correct. See Options (Preferences).
4. Register with the path profile service. See Options (Preferences).

There are three parts to this tutorial:

1. Create a project with two sites and one link. See Creating Project, Sites and Link (Unlicensed Band).
2. Update the path profile for the link with obstructions. See Updating Profile with Obstructions (Unlicensed Band).
3. Adjust the antennas at both ends of the link and confirm that the selected equipment meets the performance requirements. See Adjusting Configuration and Requirements (Unlicensed Band).
