Circuit Trace Tool
About the Circuit Trace Tool
Cable Management's Circuit Trace Tool allows you to view, in both text
and graphic format, all the components of an individual circuit. Circuit
tracing is especially helpful in identifying the source of a problem in the
network or in viewing a circuit in diagram form.
With the Circuit Trace Tool, you can:
• Choose a port or pair/strand and view a table listing details of its
circuit infrastructure.
• View a modifiable graphical diagram of the circuit infrastructure.
• Click to change the trace point, and thus the table and diagram
information.
• Print the detailed information and graphical diagram.
Accessing the Circuit Trace Tool
The Trace Tool is accessible from four Detail View screens within Cable
Management:
• Ports tab of the Assets Detail View
• Port/Position tab of the Termination Hardware Detail View
