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.

“Hierarchy Descriptions” on page 1-4

for further explanation and

navigation assistance.
