Route physical paths includes a route search via cables, empty ducts, and physical paths.
The route search finds paths through a network using various criteria.
•Criteria:
|
This route search makes it possible to find phys. paths through a network with specific characteristics and subsequent activation of necessary cross-connections via work orders to link the sub paths.

Locations
|
Route may not run via a specific location.
|
Components
|
Route may not run via specific cables.

|
Location group
|
Only show path of a specific location group
|
Only locations same level/below
|
Only display path on the same level as or below a specific location.
|
Reduce locations to level
|
Only the locations of the corresponding level are displayed under which the searched locations are based. This can also lead to groupings.

|
Optimize
|
Display paths that are optimized according to the shortest/lowest connections, length, attenuation and/or resistance.
|
Minimum number of ways
|
