Fiber - Object Details Menu
This page contains a detailed overview of the object details menu in the Fiber creation feature.
Type and Placement Menus remain the same as they do during new object creation. You can alter the Type and Placement of an object here.
- Click the Relocate on map button to change an object's position. Click Confirm or Cancel to Save or Abandon your changes.
You can change the name or edit the notes associated with the object under their respective fields.
Click the Add Device button to assign a device to an object. Multiple Devices can be added to the same object.
- Device Name
- Type
- Manhole
- Access Point
- Hut
- Notes
- Switch
- Box
- Group
- Notes
Provide a unique name for the Device. (Must be alphanumeric and can contain dashes or underscore only.)
There are several device types available to add to an object.
Group is optional but beneficial when it comes to organization.
The Notes field is meant to contain data for your tracking and record keeping purposes.
The View Details Button takes you to a separate Object Details Page.
This page shows one object and the fiber lines attached to it.
- The top card is the object itself.
- The wire map shows how strands are spliced here.
- The attached lines list is where you open each cable, open a tube, and connect strands.
- Back to map returns to the fiber map.
The Wire Diagram from the Object Details Menu shows how the cables, strands, and devices meet at the specified object.
- Drag to move the picture. Scroll, or use + and −, to zoom.
- Drag a strand dot, or a Tube handle, from one cable onto another cable or onto a device.
- Click a connection to edit the notes or remove it.
- If one side is a device, you see the fiber note and the address on that strand.
- Click Tube on a device connection to see the strands in that tube.
- A device that has strands plugged in sits next to those cables.
- A device that is only linked to another device sits farther out, so new plugs do not pile on top of the first device.
