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:
- 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).
- Accessing Port Configuration:
- Click on the ellipses button next to the Ports section to open the configuration dialogue.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
