Setting Up Companies

NOTE

NOTE

The company is the highest-level component in Cable Management. It's the starting point for managing your cabling infrastructure. Even if you only manage the infrastructure for a single company, you still need to define the company before setting up cabling infrastructure.

To set up a Company:

Step 1 Select Companies from the Setup area on the application Main Page. The Company Info window appears via a pop-up window.

Step 2 Click the Add button for every company you are setting up, and fill in name, address, city, and phone for each.

Step 3 Click the Save button when you have finished adding all companies.

The very first time you enter Cable Management, the Company Info window is automatically displayed. Each company's name will appear on the Navigator Tree next to a company icon.

•You can remove a company by selecting Companies from the SETUP section of the Main Page menu.

•If the company has no subordinate items, such as campuses and buildings, you can click Remove to remove the company and add another. If you try to remove the company while items exist underneath it, a Cable Management warning box pops up: "The company cannot be deleted until subordinate items are removed."

Setting Up Infrastructure within a Company

Campuses

Your company may have only one location, and in that case you would create only a single campus. But many companies conduct business in a number of locations, and the campus feature in Cable Management makes it possible to manage infrastructure specific to each location.

In the below areas, these geographical components will be built by selecting the Infrastructure link in the SETUP section of the Cable Management Main Page menu. When this link is selected, the application's viewable window will show the Navigator Tree and Location Info area on the left side of the screen while the entire right side of the screen will display different Info areas depending on the highlighted location in the Navigator Tree for the specific item being built.
