Backbone Pair/Strand Details

Pair/Strand Details shows the status of every pair/strand on the current backbone cable. For every backbone cable attached to the highlighted space on the Navigator Tree, the Status column reflects whether the port or position is Available or Used. If a port becomes damaged, you can also change it here.

Changing the status of a port

Step 1 Click in the Status cell and select Damaged from the drop-down list. Step 2 Click Save.

You cannot change the status from Available to Used. To accomplish that, you must make or break the connection in the Source and Destination tabs.

Backbone Cross-Connects

The Cross-Connects tab shows status for Source and Destination cross- connects. This form can be edited. Note that cross-connects are only applicable at the backbone ends that are connected to termination hardware.

Step 1 To make a cross-connect, click the Connection Type for the cable pair to which you wish to cross-connect. A drop-down list appears with Available, Horizontal Link, Backbone Cable, and Asset.

Step 2 Choose the type of cable (or asset) to which you want to cross-connect. In order to cross-connect to cable, that cable must be connected to termination hardware.

Step 3 Click in the Connection ID cell and select the ID of the item to which you are cross-connecting. Only items connected to termination hardware in that backbone's space are available.

Step 4 Click the cell in the Pair # column. The Select Items window appears with a list of the available pairs/strands for the selected item. Select the pairs/strands to which you are cross-connecting.

Step 5 The Termination Hardware and Port/Pos columns will automatically populate with the termination hardware to which the other end of the cross-connected cable is attached.

Identifying Backbone Pathways Used

The Pathways Used tab identifies the Pathways in which the backbone is located. When adding Pathways, add them in order from Source to Destination.
