+Link Calculator
+===============
+
+The ‘Link calculator’ analyzes the microwave propagation measurements of
+the wireless links. It can be accessed through the Network Map by
+clicking on the ‘link calculation’ button available in microwave links.
+
+View
+----
+
+The app includes two view possibilities. If it is accessed via the menu,
+the view provides a form table and a blank information table. The form
+table offers inputs for latitude and longitude values of the two points
+of a link. By entering this geographical information the data in the
+information table gets updated.
+
+The information table contains the calculation inputs and outputs. If
+the Link Calculator is accessed through the ‘calculate link’ button,
+only this table with pre-filled geographical locations is shown.
+Currently, input variables of the link calculation include Polarization,
+Frequency, Rain Model, and Rainfall Rate. Outputs of the calculation are
+Free Space Loss and Rain Loss. The results will be visible upon clicking
+the ‘Calculate’ button at the bottom of the table.
+
+Average Mean Sea Level
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Denotes the ground elevation of the sites on each end.
+
+Antenna Height Above Ground
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Is the height at which the antenna is mounted from the ground.
+
+Distance
+~~~~~~~~
+
+The distance in the information table is auto-filled when the microwave
+link is selected and the calculator is accessed through the ‘calculate
+link’ button in the Network Map. If the points are entered manually, the
+distance is calculated after clicking the ‘Calculate’ button.
+
+Polarization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A selection of Vertical and Horizontal polarization is possible.
+
+Frequency
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+A selection of known and regulated microwave bands is possible.
+
+Rainfall Rate
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Rainfall rate can be entered in the field, however if the local
+information is not available, the digital map and rainfall values of
+ITU-R P.837-7 [1]_ is used. The latitude grid is from -90 North degrees
+to +90 North degrees and the longitude grid is from -180 degrees East to
++180 East. For this calculation, the pre-computed R_0.01 map is used. A
+selection is possible through the Rain Model drop-down list. When the
+ITU model is selected, the rainfall rate will be shown in the rainfall
+rate field after clicking the ‘Calculate’ button.
+
+Calculations
+------------
+
+Wireless signal attenuation is calculated based on ITU Recommendations
+for Propagation. At the moment these calculations include the free space
+loss and rain loss.
+
+Free Space Loss
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Calculates the Free Space Path Loss for a point-to-point non-terrestrial
+link using the recommended formula in ITU-R P.525-4 [2]_. The output is
+shown in dB hence the distance is attributed in the calculation.
+
+Rain Loss
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Calculates the rain induced attenuation on microwave signal. The
+calculation is based on the recommended formula in ITU-R P.838-3 [3]_,
+taking into account the polarization of the signal, rainfall rate, and
+distance. The manual calculation is also possible if ‘Specific Rain’ is
+selected as rain model. After selecting the inputs, rain loss will be
+calculated by clicking the ‘Calculate’ button.

+Network Map
+===========
+
+The ‘Network Map’ visualizes a network by showing the location of a site
+and its connections (links) to other sites in a geographical context.
+
+Views
+-----
+
+The ‘Network Map’ consists of two side-by-side views: The map and the
+details-panel.
+
+Map
+~~~
+
+The geographical map visualizes sites and links of a network. Sites are
+usually displayed as blue circles and links are shown as lines
+connecting sites.
+
+If a link or site is clicked, its information is presented in the
+details panel. If more than one site or link is clicked, or if links or
+sites are too close together to determine which element should be
+selected, a selection popup appears to select one of the elements.
+
+The map offers statistics information to visualize the number of links
+and sites in the currently shown map area. The statistics information
+gets updated when the map stops moving.
+
+Additionally, the map offers a search field. The user can enter the name
+of a site or link. If an element was found, the map will center on the
+given element and its information is loaded by the details panel.
+
+If the zoom level is bigger than 11 and the loaded sites have a type of
+high-rise building, datacenter, factory, or street-lamp, the blue
+circles are swapped against icons, which visualizes the type of site.
+
+The swapping of icons can be activated or deactivated via a switch on
+the left-hand site of the map. The switch only becomes visible, if the
+zoom level is bigger than 9.
+
+The map supports zoom levels between 0 (furthest zoomed out, the entire
+world is visible) and 18 (most detailed).
+
+Whenever the map stops moving, it updates the URL with its current
+latitude, longitude, and zoom values. If the ‘Network Map’ application
+is opened with those URL parameters present, it will display the given
+area. That way, the map can be bookmarked or shared and will always
+display the same result.
+
+Details
+~~~~~~~
+
+The details panel shows information specific to the selected element.
+
+Sites offer information about itself, such as name, address and owner,
+and a short overview of its links and nodes data. The nodes are physical
+network elements, comparable to the elements of the ‘connect’
+application, and offer an interface to other apps via buttons, such as
+connect, configure, and fault. Currently, those buttons are disabled. By
+clicking on a link, the given link is loaded into details.
+
+If a link of type ‘microwave’ is selected, the ‘calculate link’ button
+is available, which opens the `Link
+Calculator <../linkCalculator/README.md>`__ in a new tab or page.
+
+Just like the map, the details panel updates the URL if data is loaded.
+Once again, the ‘Network Map’ application will try to load the element
+specified in the URL, if one is present.
+
+Connection Error
+----------------
+
+If no tile or network data is available, an error popup is shown.
+
+Load Network- and Tile-Data
+---------------------------
+
+On startup of the sdnc-web container, a topology URL for the network
+data and a tile URL for the tiles can be specified.
+
+A ready-to-use topology server offering pre-defined network data is
+available here. There is no way to import generic network data as of
+now.
