Fiber Terminal Port Configuration

Fiber Terminal Port Configuration

Welcome to Spatial Engineer 11. Today, we will cover the configuration of a fiber terminal. In this tutorial, we’ll look at setting up a terminal and configuring its ports for a 1:1 fiber connection. Here’s a detailed guide based on the video content:

  1. Setting Up the Terminal:
    • Begin by selecting the terminal symbol on your screen.
    • Fill out all required fields in the properties page, including giving it a unique identifier (ount).
  2. Accessing Port Configuration:
    • Click on the ellipses button next to the Ports section to open the configuration dialogue.
  3. Configuring Input Ports:
    • In the configuration dialogue, the top section is for input ports.
    • Add an input port by selecting “Add.”
    • Provide the port type and set the port status to “Available.”
    • Specify the quantity of fibers for this terminal. For example, use “2” fibers if feeding a house going north.
    • Click “OK” to confirm the input port configuration.
  4. Configuring Output Ports:
    • Move to the bottom section of the dialogue for output ports.
    • The system assumes the output will match the input for a 1:1 terminal configuration.
    • Select “Add” to add an output port.
    • Provide the port type and set the port status to “Available.”
    • Specify the quantity of fibers, which should match the input (e.g., “2”).
    • Click “OK” to confirm the output port configuration.
  5. Assigning Fiber Strands:
    • Go to the fiber strand column and select the available fiber strands.
    • Since this is a 1:1 terminal configuration, the number of input fibers will match the number of output fibers.
    • The system will automatically reflect the 2-in, 2-out configuration for the same fiber cable.
  6. Finalizing Configuration:
    • Confirm the configuration by clicking “OK.”
    • The terminal setup will show the input and output fiber counts, confirming the 1:1 relationship.

This tutorial ensures users can effectively configure fiber terminals within Spatial Engineer 11, facilitating accurate network set-up and management.
