Fiber Manager > Using Fiber Manager for the First Time > Fiber Manager Toolbar |
The Fiber Manager toolbar provides the tools to create and edit fiber splice connections, manage, edit and delete circuits, trace fiber networks, and produce reports.
The following example depicts a customized toolbar containing all available icons and tools. Your Fiber Manager toolbar may look different depending on your specific toolbar configuration. |
Use the Connection Manager to create new fiber connections or edit existing connections. |
||
The Fiber Trace highlights an end-to-end path of connected fibers, and can generate a report about that path. |
||
Use the Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) Trace to highlight a specified distance along a path of connected fibers. You can also use it to generate a report about that path. |
||
Clear Graphics |
Clear the highlighted results of an OTDR trace or a Circuit Manager trace. |
|
Use the Possible Paths Tool to find each possible path — including the shortest path — from specified start and end points in the fiber network. The results can be filtered based on trace parameters that you specify. |
||
The Patch Panel Connection Report generates an HTML report of attributes and connections for single or multiple pieces of equipment (such as a patch panel) in locations that you specify. |
||
The Splice Report generates a color-coded textual report of all the splices that exist at a single splice point. |
||
The Fiber Allocation Report provides a graphical display of the connections between every fiber in a fiber optic cable that is part of a selected set. |
||
Use the Glass Report to summarize characteristics of fiber optic cables that are part of a selected set of cables in the fiber optic network or on the entire network of fiber optic cables. |
||
Use Circuit Manager to view, create, edit, and delete circuits associated with a single end-to-end path consisting of fibers, fiber connections, and/or device ports. |
||
Use the Location Editor to add related objects to existing features using Favorites. |
||
Set the tracing type, default values for splice types, and whether Connection Manager displays disconnect warnings. |
||
Create a schematic diagram based on a fiber trace. |
||
Trace an existing path, then place and connect favorites within that path. |
||
The following button does not appear on the toolbar by default, but may be added using the Customize menu. |
||
Use the Fiber Connection Conflict Resolution tool to resolve fiber connection conflicts in a versioned SDE geodatabase. |
