MA4000 Expense Management Cable Management User Guide - Issue 1
Backbone Pair/Strand Details
Pair/Strand Details shows the status of every pair/strand on the current
backbone cable. For every backbone cable attached to the highlighted
space on the Navigator Tree, the Status column reflects whether the
port or position is Available or Used. If a port becomes damaged, you
can also change it here.
Changing the status of a port
Step 1 Click in the Status cell and select Damaged from the drop-down list.
Step 2 Click Save.
You cannot change the status from Available to Used. To accomplish
that, you must make or break the connection in the Source and
Destination tabs.
Backbone Cross-Connects
The Cross-Connects tab shows status for Source and Destination cross-
connects. This form can be edited. Note that cross-connects are only
applicable at the backbone ends that are connected to termination
hardware.
Step 1 To make a cross-connect, click the Connection Type for the cable pair
to which you wish to cross-connect. A drop-down list appears with
Available, Horizontal Link, Backbone Cable, and Asset.
Step 2 Choose the type of cable (or asset) to which you want to cross-connect.
In order to cross-connect to cable, that cable must be connected to
termination hardware.
Step 3 Click in the Connection ID cell and select the ID of the item to which you
are cross-connecting. Only items connected to termination hardware in
that backbone's space are available.
Step 4 Click the cell in the Pair # column. The Select Items window appears
with a list of the available pairs/strands for the selected item. Select the
pairs/strands to which you are cross-connecting.
Step 5 The Termination Hardware and Port/Pos columns will automatically
populate with the termination hardware to which the other end of the
cross-connected cable is attached.
Identifying Backbone Pathways Used
The Pathways Used tab identifies the Pathways in which the backbone is
located. When adding Pathways, add them in order from Source to
Destination.
