Performing Unguided Patching Activities
Although most of the work you perform will be guided by the iPatch System, the
system also lets you perform unguided patching activities. The subsections below
provide instructions for performing unguided patching activities. For the system to
work properly, it is important to follow these instructions.
For fiber connections, the iPatch Manager display uses the following icons:
represents both positions of a duplex fiber port
represents position B of a duplex fiber port
represents position A of a duplex fiber port.
If you are performing unscheduled work to add a fiber connection, the iPatch
Manager display shows icons to indicate the ports where you have made
connections.
For example,
Rack 9
Panel 7
Module 2
Port 3
indicates that you have made a connection at Port 3.
Similarly,
Rack 9
Panel 7
Port 3 B
indicates that you have made a connection at position B of Port 3.
During unscheduled work to remove a fiber connection, the icons flash to indicate
the ports where you should remove connections.
For example,
Rack 5
Panel 4
Module 2
Port 9
(icon flashing)
indicates that you should remove the connection at Port 9.
Similarly,
Rack 5
Panel 4
Port 9 A
(icon flashing)
indicates that you should remove the connection at position A of Port 9.
