The Cable Management Environment

1-4 Introduction

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 1-4for further explanation and navigation assistance.

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