Exploring Cable Management

Exploring the Cable Management Environment

The Cable Management interface is comprised of several helpful

sections. In keeping everything uniform, the actual look of the software

will remain the same throughout the different sections of the

application. By reviewing the layout of the interface, one can see a

navigator, a spreadsheet view area, a detail section, a locator area, and

helpful links all from the uniform exploration view. This environment

was built to satisfy all your documentation needs while remaining easy

to use and navigate.

The Cable Management Main Page

When you login to Cable Management, the first screen will be the Main

Page. The Main Page is the entry page to access all of Cable

Management's features. Every additional page you view in Cable

Management has a link back to the Main Page to make it easy to

navigate between the application itself and Cable Management's setup

tools and reports. The Main Page link is located near the top right-hand

corner of all Cable Management screens.

Figure 1-1

Cable Management Main Page—Links

The Main Page links are located in a column of five menus along the

right side of Figure 1-1.

Introduction 1-3

The Cable Management Environment

Navigator Tree

The Navigator Tree, displayed in the upper left pane of the Cable

Management application, shows the physical and geographical layout of

your infrastructure. It allows you to move around the infrastructure

quickly and efficiently, regardless of the complexity of your

infrastructure. For instance, you can go to a faceplate in a work area, or

to a telecommunication space.

The Navigator Tree functions similarly to Microsoft's Windows Explorer.

Click the +(plus) sign at the Company level, and the next level, the

Campus level, is displayed. This convention is followed throughout the

Navigator Tree's hierarchy. Click the +sign (which changes to a minus

sign) to display the next level on the tree.

Click the Company icon or anywhere on the Company name, and the

List View and Detail View areas are populated with information

filtered according to the selected category.

For example: If you click the Company icon, and then click the Assets

selection in the drop-down field, all assets for your company are

displayed in the List View spreadsheet. Click a building icon or a floor

icon, and you will see assets specific to that building or floor.

The Navigator Tree is easy to set up, using the Company and

Infrastructure setup functions on the Setup menu on the Cable

Management Main Page. Once the tree is set up, any change, move,

upgrade, or addition is easy to locate and perform.

See “Hierarchy Descriptions” on page 1-4 for further explanation and

navigation assistance.

Hierarchy Descriptions

The hierarchy layout in the Navigator Tree is set up as follows:
