Setting up the Geographical Infrastructure
About the Infrastructure
Once you are familiar with the Cable Management environment, you can
begin setting up geographical infrastructure. This infrastructure holds
the main components of the location you are documenting, including
Company, Campus, Buildings, Floors, Indoor Spaces,
Telecommunications Spaces, Outdoor Spaces, and Faceplates. Upon
setting up the geographical infrastructure, you can proceed to “Setting
Up the Cabling Infrastructure” on page 4-10 .
Your entire geographical infrastructure does not need to be set up all at
once. You can begin the process by defining certain locations and then
begin the documentation process for those areas while later adding to
your geographical infrastructure as a growing task. The system will only
require you to have the infrastructure built to the level you wish to
associate network components to.
Recommendation: For any level of infrastructure, you can speed the
process of adding more than one item by using the Wizard. When
you're on any component screen of the Setup>Infrastructure area of
Cable Management, you can add items one at a time by clicking the Add
button, or you can add them all at once by clicking the Wizard button.
Although you aren't required to set up your entire geographical infrastructure, you
must create the basics of one before you can set up any cabling infrastructure.
