The NetDoc Environment
Company
– The company is the highest-level component in
NetDoc
. It's the starting point
for managing your cabling infrastructure. Even if you only manage the infrastructure for a single
company, you still need to define the company before setting up cabling infrastructure.
Campus
– Your company may have only one location, and in that case you would create
only a single campus. But many companies conduct business in a number of locations. The
campus feature in
NetDoc
makes it possible to manage infrastructure specific to each location.
Outdoor Space -
You can also set up an outdoor space such as a Manhole or a Utility Pole.
After spaces are in place, you can start to specify cabling and hardware.
Building -
Each campus you set up will include buildings that contain spaces that house
components of the infrastructure. Your company may have one building, or numerous buildings
that can be interconnected by cabling components.
Floor -
Floors in buildings are the next level of geographical infrastructure you create in
NetDoc
.
Indoor Space -
In
NetDoc
, a Room, Telecommunications Space, Cubicle, Hallway,
Warehouse, Kitchen, or Office is considered to be an Indoor Space.
Faceplate -
While many elements of cabling infrastructure can be added at any time after the
geographical infrastructure is set up, Faceplates should be set up first. Faceplates are usually
attached to a Work Area such as an office.
Whatever level of the Navigation Tree you select is highlighted. In addition, when you let your
cursor hover any item on the tree, a floating box will open with the name and type of
infrastructure item. If the item is a Faceplate, the box will also include the ports connected with
it.
Location Info
The Location Info section is directly beneath the Navigator Tree on the left side of the
NetDoc
screen. No matter how elaborate your infrastructure, the Location Info section displays where
you are according to your highlighted selection in the Navigator Tree. See

Descriptions
.
List View
The upper half of the right pane is the
List View.
Also referred to as the List View pane or List
View area, it resembles a spreadsheet. Clicking any category in the drop-down list in the upper
left corner of this pane displays a list of records in the chosen category for the Navigation Tree
level you’re at. The drop-down list includes the following infrastructure categories:
