The two pieces of Equipment are now linked with a Back Connection.
Remove a Back Connection
Back Connects prevent deleting a PPL because both pieces of Equipment need that Back Connect reference. In order to Delete a PPL, clear the Back Connect Equipment from the PPL form for one of the two pieces of Equipment. This will remove the Back Connection, allow the User to delete the PPL, create a new one, and then apply the Back Connection to it instead. When you remove a back connect from one PPL it will remove the Back Connect from both PPLs.
If there is a range of Back Connects to remove from a single piece of Equipment, it can be done using the
button on the PPL grid, found on the Manage Equipment Form. From the PPL Range Form, there is a
button.
Path Leg Usage
Linking Equipment with a Back Connection will only store on the relevant Equipment records and serves as a method to track the two link pieces of Equipment together. However, Path Legs can be easily generated to include these two pieces of Equipment in a Path. This can be done from the Service Desk or the Cable Paths form. If a User attempts to select a piece of Equipment with this Back Connect set up, the other piece of Equipment will automatically pull into the relevant fields of the Ports/Pins/Lens form.
