About the Circuit Trace Tool

Cable Management's Circuit Trace Tool allows you to view, in both text and graphic format, all the components of an individual circuit. Circuit tracing is especially helpful in identifying the source of a problem in the network or in viewing a circuit in diagram form.

With the Circuit Trace Tool, you can:

•Choose a port or pair/strand and view a table listing details of its circuit infrastructure.

•View a modifiable graphical diagram of the circuit infrastructure.

•Click to change the trace point, and thus the table and diagram information.

•Print the detailed information and graphical diagram.

Accessing the Circuit Trace Tool

The Trace Tool is accessible from four Detail View screens within Cable Management:

•Ports tab of the Assets Detail View

•Port/Position tab of the Termination Hardware Detail View

•Pair/Strand Details tab of the Backbone Cables Detail View

•Cross Connects tab of the Backbone Cables Detail View 

To access the Circuit Trace Tool

Step 1 From the Cable Management Main Page, click Launch Application. Step 2 Highlight the trace point component in the List View.

Step 3 In the Detail View for that component, click the appropriate tab:

—Assets: Ports tab

—Termination Hardware: Port/Position tab

—Backbone Cables: Pair/Strand Details tab or Cross Connects tab

Step 4 Click the box in the Trace column for the component whose circuit you wish to view. A separate window will open displaying the details in table and graphic formats.
