MA4000 Expense Management Cable Management User Guide - Issue 1

Company - 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.
Campus - 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. The campus feature in Cable

Management makes it possible to manage infrastructure specific to each

location.
Outdoor Space - You can also set up an outdoor space such as a

Manhole or a Utility Pole. After spaces are in place, you can start to

specify cabling and hardware.
Building - Each campus you set up will include buildings that contain

spaces that house components of the infrastructure. Your company may

have one building, or numerous buildings that can be interconnected by

cabling components.
Floor - Floors in buildings are the next level of geographical

infrastructure you create in Cable Management.
Indoor Space - In Cable Management, a Room, Telecommunications

Space, Cubicle, Hallway, Warehouse, Kitchen, or Office is considered to

be an Indoor Space.
Faceplate - While many elements of cabling infrastructure can be

added at any time after the geographical infrastructure is set up,

Faceplates should be set up first. Faceplates are usually attached to a

Work Area such as an office.
Whatever level of the Navigation Tree you select is highlighted. In

addition, when you let your cursor hover any item on the tree, a floating

box will open with the name and type of infrastructure item. If the item

is a Faceplate, the box will also include the ports connected with it.

Location Info

The Location Info section is directly beneath the Navigator Tree on the

left side of the Cable Management screen. No matter how elaborate

your infrastructure, the Location Info section displays where you are

according to your highlighted selection in the Navigator Tree. See

“Hierarchy Descriptions” on page 1-4
