Feeder Designation

The “Spatial Engineer 11” tutorial on copper feed designation offers a step-by-step guide for users to define and manage copper feeds from a central office. This process is essential for telecommunications networks that utilize copper infrastructure. Here’s an overview based on the video content:

  1. Navigating to Copper Feed Designation:
    • Access the copper feed designation feature through the copper pull-down menu.
    • Select “DBA” followed by “O Configuration” to find another copper pull-down menu.
    • Choose “Feeder Designation” from the menu options.
  2. Setting Up a New Feeder:
    • Upon entering the feeder designation section, you are presented with a filter dialogue. For a new central office with no existing feeders, simply proceed by selecting “OK.”
    • Click on the “Add” button found at the bottom of the dialogue. By default, the option is set to “Distribution” rather than “Trunk,” which is suitable for most configurations.
  3. Configuring Feeder Details:
    • Use the ellipsis button (“…”) next to the CO name field to search for and select your central office.
    • Input the cable number with an appropriate naming convention (e.g., “GLND01” in the provided example).
    • Specify the cable size, which in this case is “200.”
    • Ensure “Distribution” is selected as the feeder type before saving.
  4. Saving the Configuration:
    • After hitting “Save,” allow some time for the system to register and build the cables into the database.
    • This process is crucial for accurately reflecting the physical infrastructure in Spatial Engineer 11’s digital environment.
  5. Browsing and Finalizing:
    • Post-saving, you have the option to browse through the newly created feeders to confirm their addition to the database.
    • To conclude the setup, close the dialogue and select “Cancel” to exit without reopening previous dialogues.
  6. Concluding Remarks:
    • The tutorial wraps up by highlighting the simplicity and necessity of designating copper feeders for a central office, emphasizing the process’s relevance for network planning and expansion.

This tutorial equips Spatial Engineer 11 users with the knowledge to effectively manage and designate copper feeds within their telecommunications network, laying a foundational structure for connectivity and service delivery.
