TM
software to assist you in easily labeling your entire
infrastructure. The documentation solutions, labeling solutions, and an assortment
of printers will increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve user services in a
very user-friendly environment.
The NetDoc™ interface runs on Microsoft SQL Server (MSS). MSS is designed to
support one or several users. Each database created will keep track of data
associated with your infrastructure. When a change is made to your infrastructure,
such as adding a new component, updating or removing components, you can
make the change directly in NetDoc™ using several different methods.
In addition, the ANSI/TIA/EIA 606A has changed standards for guidelines and
classes of administration for telecommunications infrastructure. NetDoc™ was
built accordance to the new standards, simplifying your firm’s transition to them.
