C .1 Using the W orksheets
Use these worksheets to plan the layout of your network and to
coordinate the ordering of materials.
You can make photocopies of these worksheets as needed. Some copiers
are capable of expanding the size of your copies for greater detail.
Examples of completed worksheets are provided in Chapter 4.
Node Planning W orksheet
Use this worksheet to plan the device type, setup and configuration
parameters, and communications traffic at each node on your network.
Use a separate worksheet for each node.
Topology Planning W orksheet
Use this worksheet to plan the top-level layout of your network.
Summarize each node’s address, device type, application, and site
location. If you are using multiple networks, this worksheet can show
how they are interconnected.
Network Planning W orksheet
Use this worksheet to detail the device type, length of trunk cable, tap,
drop cable, and method of labeling at each physical site location on your
network. Each worksheet has space for eight site locations. Use
additional worksheets as needed to describe your network.
Cable Routing W orksheet
Use this worksheet for planning the individual sections of your
network, or for planning the entire network, depending on the
horizontal and vertical scales you want to use. You can use multiple
copies of this worksheet for your planning. Use a small scale on some
sheets to show local placement of devices and cables. Use a larger scale
on another sheet to show the overall network cable layout throughout
your plant.
Materials Summary W orksheet
Use this worksheet to summarize your materials requirements prior to
ordering. Be sure to order cable in proper spool sizes to allow
continuous runs between sites without splices. If you are specifying a
dual-cable network with RR85 Repeaters, be sure to order separate
Repeaters for each cable run.
