<< <%SKIN-STRTRANS-SYNTOC%> >> Navigation: Projects > Quick guide to creating a Network |
Construction of a network in FastLight GIS although mapping mostly mirrors the real world; it does have some additional requirements on the ordering of operations
- for any network section, the nodes of the civil engineering network must be created before any duct can be connected between them
- a duct start or finish may be at any one of the following nodes of the civil engineering layer:
oPOPs: Central Office, Street Cabinet POP, Data Centre
oCabinets
oManholes
- a duct must be created before a cable can be installed within it
oFastLight tracks duct capacity and utilization and will not allow a cable to be installed in a duct which has insufficient space
- two or more cables must be created with terminations at the same joint closure, POP or cabinet before fibers can be connected between them
oto see the connection editor screen
| - click on a POP or a cabinet; or |
| - click on a manhole and then click on a joint closure in the pop-up which appears |
- an ONT may only be placed within a building
- All items that have specific rules can be found on the '?' button located on the top left of the map, more details in the next section.
