Setting Up the Cabling Infrastructure
Backbone Pair/Strand Details Tab
The Pair/Strand Details tab shows the status of every pair/strand on the current backbone
cable. For every backbone cable attached to the highlighted space on the Navigation Tree, the
Status column reflects whether the port or position is Available or Used.
Note: You can change a pair/strand status to Damaged from this tab, but to change the
status from Available to Used, you must make or break the connection from the Source and
Destination tabs.
To change the status of a damaged port:
1. On the Navigation Tree, highlight the Space where the backbone cable is located.
2. In the List View pane drop-down list, choose Backbone Cables.
3. Click the Pair/Strand Details tab.
4. From the Status drop-down list, choose Damaged.
5. Click Save.
Note: Changing a cell to Damaged status does not automatically disconnect the cable from
this port (i.e., you will still have a connection to a damaged pair/strand).
