Before adding assets, the geographical structure of your company

with the physical spaces in which they reside.
See
“Setting up the Geographical Infrastructure” on page 4-1 .
Setting Up Asset Types
There are two categories of Assets in Cable Management: Backbone
Assets and Workstation Assets . Backbone Assets include those assets
associated with a Telecommunication Space, such as a hub or router.
Workspace Assets are those associated with workspace and faceplate
connections like a computer, fax, or telephone.
Cable Management comes with many asset types already defined for
you. If, however, you wish to track a type of asset that has not been
defined, you can define it yourself.
Step 1 To set up Asset Types for your infrastructure, select the yellow ellipsis
button to the right of the asset type field in the Detail pane.
Step 2 Click the Add button.
Step 3 Enter the Device Type.
Step 4 Select a Category from the drop-down list for the next column:
Workstation/Data, Backbone/Data, Voice/Modem, Backbone/Voice, or
Other.
