Ports/Pins/Lens Transfer Imports
- Brian Dixon
Capability
The Ports/Pins/Lens Transfer Import allows a User to transfer all Ports/Pins/Lens on Cabling Equipment from one piece of Equipment to another. This allows a User to quickly retire multiple pieces of Equipment and setup the replacements. All Port qualities will be maintained, including if the Port is part of a Cable Path or connected to a Cable Pair/Strand. Note that the Import will transfer all ports, partial transfer is not supported.
In the event of an error on a specific piece of Equipment, the Import Process will revert that Equipment to its previous state.
