Cable Paths are the face of PCR-360's Cable function. Once a set of Cables has been defined, Conduits have been selected, and Access Points have been identified; the PCR-360 application produces a visual representation of the Cable's Path through an organization's infrastructure. This way, complex Cabling concerns are easily mapped and edited, making the overwhelming task of monitoring countless Cables and support Equipment simple.

Cable Paths, by design, do not allow duplicate Path Leg numbers. They do however allow multiple Locations on a single path. Each Path Leg is part of a single Path regardless of the Path Legs Location and each Path Leg must have a unique instance number. The Cabling diagrams depend on this uniqueness to display multi-location paths in the correct order. |
Viewing Paths
Users can view a visual representation of any Path that consists of at least one Leg.
To view a Path, select the desired path in the Grid and click the 'View Path' button on the Grid Toolbar above the Grid.
The resulting form provides a visual representation of the selected Path.

Removing Paths
When a PATH is to be disconnected via the PATH or SERVICE screens, the PATH LEGS will remain.
Deleting a PATH will automatically delete all PATH LEGS. This functionality is intended.
On removing all PATH LEGS (from the PATH LEGS Grid), the associated PATH will also be removed.
Wireless Cable Paths
The Cable Path, does not require having associated Cables or PPL, to create the Path. This allows Users to model a Wireless Network by first taking the Service that represents the network (such as the Internet), and have that associated with a piece of Equipment (such as a Modem), and then wiring that to the network hub (such as a Router). From there, a User can create new associations to the network hub without applying a Cable/PPL so that the wireless link can be recorded in the Path accurately.
...
In the Example Above the "Modem" is modeled as a Location, and the "Internet Line" is the backbone Internet Service to be wired into the "Router". It was done this way to more readily highlight that no other Cables or PPL were used for creating the Cable Path.
