4.6 Coordinates
A coordinate is the physical location of two punch down block connections that form a specific connector segment
number and channel number combination. There are 120 coordinates in the Matrix of coordinates (5 connector segments
x 24 channels). This identification allows the channel/segment combination to be addressed during the configuration
process. A coordinate is further defined by length and type (see
Matrix of Coordinates
in the
CFA-24 Configuration
section later in this manual).
4.7 Coordinate Matrix
The Coordinate Matrix is made up of the 120 coordinates (5 connector segments x 24 channels) physically located on
the front of a CFA-24 unit. These coordinates are defined by attributes such as coordinate type and coordinate length.
These definitions must match the cable farm lines physically attached to the unit. All Coordinate matrixes are combined
together by the CFA-24 software to form a Network Monitoring interface that allows the user to oversee the entire CFA
network.
4.8 Network Monitor
Once each CFA-24 unit is configured, multi-unit CFA systems may be viewed in their entirety via the Network Monitor
screen. The Network Monitor displays IP addresses and connection status for all units. The user may also add or remove
a unit from the CFA system or take a unit offline.
