LINKPlanner request - would be great to set default SM

To avoid going into the PMP Links screen and mass changing (and recalculating everything) for each new project.

Hi Jesse,

You can use equipment templates to do this. See the following links for more information:

How to create and use Equipment Templates

Equipment Templates in LINKPlanner Equipment Templates can be defined for PTP links and Access Points. The default Equipment Template will be used to configure each new PTP link or access point in the project. If the project does not contain an appropriate equipment template then a default template will be generated when required. This will then become the default equipment template. A project can contain multiple equipment templates and, when combined with Project Templates, they make it very …

If you find yourself using the same configs in multiple projects, then you should also check out project templates:

My MacOS version of LinkPlanner crashed and a reinstall hasn’t fixed it, so it’s forced me onto the web version. Is it possible to use equipment templates in the web version of LinkPlanner?

Hi Jesse,

To follow up on Vishnu’s comment. In the online tool, at the moment, if you are trying to add a block of Network Devices there is a template style wizard to help you configure the Network Device radio parameters and then apply them to a group of sites to quickly create a network device layer.

What we haven’t brought over from the desktop yet is the ability to allocate the SM product to be used on those network devices or to use a template to make a block update to an existing network (both network devices and SMs). Those features will come in a later release, where the priority will in part be dependent on the number of requests we get for each feature.
