3.2 How Do I Build Groups?

•Links—Physical or logical entities (for example, a fiber) between two physical points (for example, ports). Circuits are provisioned through links.

•Network Maps—Geographic representation of the NEs in the domain, the circuits and links between NEs, and the number of alarms associated with NEs.

3.2How Do I Build Groups?

NEs in the Domain Explorer are organized into groups, which consist of NEs and/or other groups. NEs are often grouped geographically or by domain. The same NE or group can be assigned to different groups. The following sections describe how to add, copy, move, and delete groups.

3.2.1 Adding Groups

Step 1 Select a node or group in the Domain Explorer tree.

Note You cannot add a new group to the Discovered NEs or Deleted NEs group.

Step 2 Choose File > New Group (or click the Add a New Group tool). The New Group dialog box opens.

Step 3 Enter the following information in the New Group dialog box.

Table 3-1 Field Descriptions for the New Group Dialog Box

Field	Description

Group ID	Unique name for the group.

Location Name	Geographic location of the group.

Description	Description of the group.

Step 4 Click OK. The new group appears in the Domain Explorer tree.

3.2.2 Copying Groups

You can easily create domains for multiple users in CTM. Just copy the same groups in different domains, so that users who work different shifts can use the same group.

Step 1 In the Domain Explorer tree, select the group to be copied.

Step 2 Choose Edit > Copy (or click the Copy tool).

Step 3 Select the group where the group will be pasted and choose Edit > Paste (or click the Paste tool). This pastes the group under the selected group.
