Meshing DN V5000 to DN V5000

[William_Ndala]

Hi All,
Has anyone ever been able to configure mesh links between V5000 on the LinkPlanner app ?
I’m asking because I can see that option but it has never worked for me.
Any idea ? Thank you

Hi William,

We have a knowledge base article to help you configure the Mesh links, please see this knowledge-base post for more information, which I hope you find useful.

How to add mesh links to a cnWave 60 GHz PMP Network

LINKPlanner V5.5.0 includes a capability to add the mesh links on the PMP side of LINKPlanner, without creating separate PTP links. This allows them to be included as part of the PMP network BOM, rather than adding extra equipment to the PTP BOM. The predicted performance will also take account of the antenna gain in the direction of the other end of the link, using the DN 3D antenna pattern. The mesh links will also use the channel, golay code and polarity settings from the DN. LINKPlanner do…

Just to reinforce Rachel’s comment, I use it often, and it works. Normally, the issue is that the azimuths of the v5000’s that you are trying to connect are not correct. For example, if you have 2 v5000 units, 200m apart, the 2nd one south of the first one, and both azimuths are at 0 degrees, they will not mesh becuase you are trying to connect the 2nd v5000 to the null in the 2 sectors of the 1st v5000. You have to adjust the azimuths of both v5000 so that you mesh them on the sectors that you want to connect them on.
