Network Definition
In the Spatial Engineer 11 tutorial on Fiber Network Definition, the process involves setting up the necessary parameters for defining a fiber network before configuring the fiber optic cable designations. Here’s a summary of the steps outlined in the video:
- Accessing Fiber Network Definition:
- Navigate to the Fiber pull-down menu and select “CO Configuration.”
- Under CO Configuration, select “Fiber Configuration” and then choose “Network Definition.”
- Defining the Fiber Network:
- Click on “Add” to create a new configuration. Enter the relevant details for the network definition:
- Configuration Name: Assign a descriptive name (e.g., New Central Office).
- Network Type: Specify the type of network (e.g., Sonant).
- Transmission Type: Define the transmission type (e.g., OC3).
- Transmission Data Rate: Automatically populated based on the transmission type.
- Wavelength, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Bit Error Rate: Input specific parameters for the network.
- Safety Margin: Set the safety margin value.
- Comments: Optionally add comments for additional information (e.g., Glendale Pawn Network Area).
- Click on “Add” to create a new configuration. Enter the relevant details for the network definition:
- Saving the Configuration:
- After filling in all the necessary details, click on “Save” at the bottom to store the network definition configuration.
- Completion and Next Steps:
- The Fiber Network Definition is now set up and ready to be used when configuring the fiber designations in subsequent steps, as detailed in the next video tutorial.
By defining the Fiber Network parameters in Spatial Engineer 11, users can establish a structured framework for their fiber network configurations, ensuring accuracy and consistency in the setup process.
