Introduction
This document provides information for the Cambium Networks LINKPlanner version
V5.4.2.
The LINKPlanner is an application that runs on Windows or Macintosh. It performs the
calculations from the ITU recommendations ITU-R P.526-10/ITU-R P.526-15 and ITU-R
P.530-12/ITU-R P.530-17 (or Vigants-Barnett) to predict NLoS and LoS paths for
anywhere in the world. Path profile data can be obtained in a number of different ways
depending upon global location and can include clutter as well as terrain data. Trees
and buildings (obstructions) will modify this profile, and often the path must be surveyed
to establish the correct estimation.
The LINKPlanner provides results specific to the 60 GHz cnWave, cnReach, ePMP,
PTP 250, PTP 450, PTP 450i, PTP 550, PTP 650, PTP 670, PTP 700, PTP 800, PTP
810, PTP 820 and PTP 850 family of wireless bridges and 60 GHz cnWave, cnRanger,
cnReach, PTP 670 HCMP, PTP 700 HCMP, PMP 450, PMP 450i, PMP450m and
ePMP family of PMP network devices, giving the data rates and reliability that can be
expected given the specific design features of these products.

Bug Fixes in version 1.3.1

• Project proposal reports no longer repeat information for the same link over and

contain detailed configuration and performance parameters. Proposals offer a
more general overview.
• Allow for custom (user-defined) fields. These can be assigned to projects, sites,

you to open multiple links at the same time, or to view the project overview at the
same time as an individual link.

• When E1 or T1 interfaces are selected (PTP-600 only), display the latency and
expected availability, and change the throughput numbers to reflect the IP
throughput remaining. There is a new equipment configuration parameter
("Lowest Telecoms Mode") that can be changed to affect the latency.

• Add a 'Project description' field on the main Project page.
• Make the map and profile panels resizable (click and drag the bottom edge of the

to be too wide. The first section is for equipment selection, and the second for
configuration.

Bug Fixes in 1.2.0

• Don't allow 30MHz channel bandwidth on PTP25600. If you load a project that
was using this setting (even if only for the "Default settings for new links"), you
will receive a warning when you load the project saying that "30 is not a valid
'bandwidth' value". Those links will be changed to 15MHz bandwidth.
• Fix the regulatory definitions for Korea. Links using that region may display
different data rates.
• Adjust the definition for 256QAM 0.81 Dual when optimised for TDM. Predictions

receive a warning when you load a project that the previous bandwidth value was
not valid.
• Reduce some of the flicker when expanding and collapsing parts of the link
display.

• KML files contained and altitudemode rather than altitudeMode causing problems
in older versions of Google Earth
• File->Exit did not work when there were unsaved changes.

New or Changed behaviour in version 0.6

• Google Earth display: The Google Earth display has been improved in the
following ways:-
 It includes Ground Fresnel zones, Vertical Fresnel zones and range
markers
 Clicking The Google Earth toolbar button when a link is selected zooms
and centers to that link with the local on the left and remote on the right
 Clicking the Google Earth toolbar button when a Site is selected zooms to
the links connected to that site with the site in the center
• Installation Report: The installation section of the Link Report is enhanced to
include recommended power settings during pointing and post installation. It also
adds the recommended tilt of the antenna.
• Maximum Height: The maximum height for a site can be empty and it will be
ignored. When defined it becomes an advisory limit for the antenna height above
ground.
• Compatibiity with Excel: CSV output is now encoded as UTF-16 little-endian, with
TABs as field separators. This provides improved compatibility with Excel when
regional settings are not English.
• Online Help: The user manual is now available in CHM format giving faster
access to the features of the LINKPlanner.

phn-1172-086v000 Page 94 of 95
Bug Fixes in 0.6
Map and profile displayed boxes for characters when using a non-english region: There
is now improved support for non-Latin character sets. If boxes are displayed instead of
text on the Map and Profile charts, install one of these two fonts:-
 Arial Unicode MS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial_Unicode_MS). This is
optionally installed as part of Microsoft Office.
 Bitstream Cyberbit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitstream_Cyberbit)
• Antenna Heights (feet) scaling problem: The scaling problem, which made it
difficult to use feet for antenna heights, has been fixed.
• TDM Data Rate Calculation: The data rate is now calculated correctly when TDM
mode is selected.
• Errors when importing .dat files: The dat file import process has been corrected.

Known Issues
The following issues apply to this version of the LINKPlanner.
• Worst earth calculations are not present. The 99.99% worst earth curvature is
shown on the graph. Links less than 10km are not affected, links longer than
10km with a clear line of sight including worst earth are not affected. Links, which
are affected, will operate with a slightly degraded reliability relative to the
LINKPlanner results presented.
• KML files may fail to open when two versions of Google Earth are installed.
• Importing dat files from versions of the Link Estimator older than 8.2 may fail.
Work around is to upgrade to 8.2, and load the dat file and re-save the dat file in
the new format.

Installation Notes
The PTP LINKPlanner is provided as a self installing executable file for Windows. The
install process is described in the User Manual.
The Intel Mac version is provided as a disc (dmg) image. A README document within
this image describes a three stage installation process.
