netmap labels.
The label designer at labels.uplink.show. Send a show from netmap or drop in any paperwork, and it picks the labels, fills them in and lays them out at exact size on Avery and OnlineLabels stock. Racks in their zone colors, a bar per VLAN on every device, cable wraps, cases you type yourself.
Open netmap labels
One click, the whole book.
netmap exports the drawing set with the title blocks filled in and the revision on every page. This one is the Harbor Street Circuit demo show: 31 sheets.
Click a sheet to pull it to the top.
The book goes where the crew is.
netmap publishes the show to a link with an expiry and an optional PIN. The crew opens it on a phone at load-in, 3D rack included. There is nothing to install.
Turn sign-ups on and visiting LDs claim the guest IPs, universe chunks and dry lines you left open. Their names come back into your paperwork.

One person draws, codes and answers support.
Uplink is the app studio of Noah Abrams, a network and lighting designer who tours. netmap started as the drawing set for real racks in a shop and shipped because other crews kept asking for the files. The Cockpit tools came out of keeping a rig running on tour.
