4-10 Setting Up Infrastructures

Setting Up the Cabling Infrastructure

Once the geographical infrastructure is set up using the SETUP menu on the Cable Management Main Page, you must click Launch Application on the Main Page and open the Cable Management application to set up the cabling infrastructure.

While many elements of cabling infrastructure can be added at any time after the geographical infrastructure is set up, Faceplates and Termination Hardware should be set up first. Faceplates are usually attached to a Work Area; Termination Hardware is placed in some type of Telecommunication Space.

Termination Hardware

Termination hardware for all cabling infrastructure is easily set up. Cable Management makes it simple to locate termination hardware when you need to move cabling; it's also easy to track ports/positions and how each is being used.

Before adding Termination Hardware, the space where it resides must be set up. Termination Hardware should be placed in an appropriate Telecommunication Space: a Consolidation Point, Entrance Room, Handhole, Manhole, Termination Closet, Closet Point, or Utility Pole. Termination hardware must be in place before backbone or asset hardware can be connected or linked. See Adding Termination Hardware.

Adding Termination Hardware

As long as you have set up a Telecommunication Space (see “Adding an Outdoor Space” on page 4-7or “Removing an Outdoor Space” on page 4-8, “Adding a Building” on page 4-3or “Removing a Building” on page 4-4, or “Adding an Indoor Space” on page 4-5or “Removing an Indoor Space” on page 4-6), you can place termination hardware in it.

Step 1 Click Launch Application on the Cable Management home page. On the Navigator Tree, highlight the Telecommunication Space where you want to add termination hardware.

Step 2 Select Termination Hardware in the List View drop-down field (upper right pane) of the Cable Management window. The Termination HW Info and Port/Pos. Details tabs appear in the Detail View (lower right pane).

Step 3 Click the List View Add button.

Step 4 Enter the ID designation-a unique value by which you will identify this piece of termination hardware.

Step 5 Select a Termination Type from the drop-down list.

Step 6 In the Cross Connect Hardware Type frame, enter the following: PIN Config, Cat. Rating, Term Type, Manufacturer, and Part #.
