1-4 Introduction

The Cable Management Environment

Navigator Tree
The Navigator Tree, displayed in the upper left pane of the Cable
Management application, shows the physical and geographical layout of
your infrastructure. It allows you to move around the infrastructure
quickly and efficiently, regardless of the complexity of your
infrastructure. For instance, you can go to a faceplate in a work area, or
to a telecommunication space.
The Navigator Tree functions similarly to Microsoft's Windows Explorer.
Click the + (plus) sign at the Company level, and the next level, the
Campus level, is displayed. This convention is followed throughout the
Navigator Tree's hierarchy. Click the + sign (which changes to a minus
sign) to display the next level on the tree.
Click the Company icon or anywhere on the Company name, and the
List View and Detail View areas are populated with information
filtered according to the selected category.
For example: If you click the Company icon, and then click the Assets
selection in the drop-down field, all assets for your company are
displayed in the List View spreadsheet. Click a building icon or a floor
icon, and you will see assets specific to that building or floor.
The Navigator Tree is easy to set up, using the Company and
Infrastructure setup functions on the Setup menu on the Cable
Management Main Page. Once the tree is set up, any change, move,
upgrade, or addition is easy to locate and perform.
See "Hierarchy Descriptions" on page 1-4 for further explanation and
navigation assistance.
