Port Naming Wizard | NEC MA4000 guide

3-4 Cable Management Wizards

The naming/numbering feature of these wizards all function in the same way. Other information entered into the wizard is specific to the particular component type.

		Port Naming Wizard
		A fifth documentation wizard, the Port Naming Wizard, can be
		accessed on either the Ports tab of the Assets screen or the Port
		Positions tab of the Termination Hardware screen. This wizard
		allows you to generate or rename all ports on a given asset, though you
		can still rename any port individually.
		The Port Naming Wizard operates in the same general way as the other
		four documentation wizards, except that it allows for only 5 (rather than
		10) separate components of a naming/numbering scheme.
		Recommendation: Wizards should be used properly and carefully so
		nothing within your documentation is altered in any manner. It's a good
		idea to underestimate the number of components needed and use the
		wizards to document in small blocks of items. By doing so, the
		individuals documenting can verify all is being documented correctly in
		all areas of the application as intended. Since the wizards don't
		complete everything needed, by creating small blocks of components at
		a time the user can go through the application quickly to complete the
		needed documentation. See the warning below for additional reasons for
		these recommendations.
		Although several items can be built within seconds, the application has no global
		delete capability. Given this, deletion still must be completed by going to each

WARNING		specific item and deleting the items one by one. The above recommendations for
WARNING		using the wizards should be reviewed to safeguard against any problems.
