Setting Up the Cabling Infrastructure
Once the geographical infrastructure is set up using the SETUP menu
on the Cable Management Main Page, you must click Launch
Application on the Main Page and open the Cable Management
application to set up the cabling infrastructure.
While many elements of cabling infrastructure can be added at any time
after the geographical infrastructure is set up, Faceplates and
Termination Hardware should be set up first. Faceplates are usually
attached to a Work Area; Termination Hardware is placed in some type
of Telecommunication Space.
Termination Hardware
Termination hardware for all cabling infrastructure is easily set up. Cable
Management makes it simple to locate termination hardware when you
need to move cabling; it's also easy to track ports/positions and how
each is being used.
Before adding Termination Hardware, the space where it resides must
be set up. Termination Hardware should be placed in an appropriate
Telecommunication Space: a Consolidation Point, Entrance Room,
Handhole, Manhole, Termination Closet, Closet Point, or Utility Pole.
Termination hardware must be in place before backbone or asset
hardware can be connected or linked. See Adding Termination
Hardware .
