3. What is to be tracked? Voice, Data, or both?
4. It is i
mportant to know the client’s operating system and how the network
operates to determine whether the system meets specifications and to determine
what part of the network the client is going to want MapIT G2 enabled and
monitored by EEC software. Many clients focus on enabling essential equipment
that is necessary to be up and running 99.9% of the time.
5. Determining the client’s network layout will also allow us to accurately gauge the
Patch Zone configuration.
6. System documentation is important in any system. Knowing where all the cables
begin and where they terminate is essential in creating an effective end-to-end
system. With the client, determine whether the existing documentation is
satisfactory or whether the cables will need to be toned out (for an existing
installation).
NOTE: A digital camera is useful to document existing conditions for future
reference.
Rack/Cabinet Configuration
Rack/Cabinet Configuration identifies the location of the existing equipment as well as
placement of the MapIT G2 MCP/DCPs in the racks. This allows the installer to
visualize the configuration of the installation and provides equipment information
including; floors, TRs, racks, Patch Zones, etc. Within the depicted racks, the
Equipment IDs are displayed. Distances between racks and associated floors should
be indicated. Control Bus Cable requirements are identified and a Notes section for
additional information is provided.
