connection. To learn more, tap the port information on the display and you can see details on any devices in this connection.
To end the trace, either press the on-screen X button or press the button above one of the ports.
If only one of the ports in a patch connection is on an iPatch Panel, you still can trace the connection. The LED turns on
above the iPatch Panel port. The imVision Controller X display shows as much information as is known about the connection.
If the connection was made as a guided job, both the iPatch Panel port and the equipment port are identified
Correcting Patching Errors
If you discover that a patch cord is connected to the wrong port or that the database has recorded a connection that does
not exist between two ports, you can correct the database using the Change feature.
To correct a connection, please use the following steps.
Step 1 – Show a circuit trace
The first step in correcting a patching error is to show a circuit trace for a targeted port. To show a circuit trace, press the
panel button corresponding to an iPatch Panel port. The LEDs associated with connected iPatch Panel ports will turn on. On
the display, a graphical circuit trace will be shown, along with a Change button.
Step 2 – Use the Change button to break existing connection relationships
To break existing connection relationships for a traced port, press the
Change
button on the imVision Controller X’s display.
After pressing the
Change
button, select
Yes
to continue past a warning about the connection being broken. Afterwards, the
connection relationship will be deleted for any iPatch Panel ports that were connected to the traced port.
Step 3 – Confirm the correct connection for each port
After using the
Change
button, the imVision Controller X will automatically step through each port that was involved in the
changed connection. For each port, a “Confirm” screen will appear to provide guidance for confirming the connection
information. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new connection relationship between iPatch ports or with non-
iPatch equipment.
