Introduction 1-5

Company - The company is the highest-level component in Cable Management. It's the starting point for managing your cabling infrastructure. Even if you only manage the infrastructure for a single company, you still need to define the company before setting up cabling infrastructure.

Campus - Your company may have only one location, and in that case you would create only a single campus. But many companies conduct business in a number of locations. The campus feature in Cable Management makes it possible to manage infrastructure specific to each location.

Outdoor Space - You can also set up an outdoor space such as a Manhole or a Utility Pole. After spaces are in place, you can start to specify cabling and hardware.

Building - Each campus you set up will include buildings that contain spaces that house components of the infrastructure. Your company may have one building, or numerous buildings that can be interconnected by cabling components.

Floor - Floors in buildings are the next level of geographical infrastructure you create in Cable Management.

Indoor Space - In Cable Management, a Room, Telecommunications Space, Cubicle, Hallway, Warehouse, Kitchen, or Office is considered to be an Indoor Space.

Faceplate - While many elements of cabling infrastructure can be added at any time after the geographical infrastructure is set up, Faceplates should be set up first. Faceplates are usually attached to a Work Area such as an office.

Whatever level of the Navigation Tree you select is highlighted. In addition, when you let your cursor hover any item on the tree, a floating box will open with the name and type of infrastructure item. If the item is a Faceplate, the box will also include the ports connected with it.

Location Info

The Location Info section is directly beneath the Navigator Tree on the left side of the Cable Management screen. No matter how elaborate your infrastructure, the Location Info section displays where you are according to your highlighted selection in the Navigator Tree. See “Hierarchy Descriptions” on page 1-4.
