Presents a report on all changes which occurred on this fiber.

Next to this button there is a check-box. If this has been selected the history will be searched using the section name, cable name, or project number.

This button allows you to determine all farthest endpoints of all patch positions for the selected patch panel and to save those until a new synchronization takes place from the Insert/change Patch panel screen. This may be necessary because the physical network has been entered, changed, or removed. This will also change if changes are made in the splices in the previous network.

By clicking here a cross is placed in the geography on a certain distance from the selected position.

You will be asked for a distance in meters, after which the connection is followed from the selected position until the distance entered has been reached.

This way, you can perform a quick search for a malfunction, for instance.

By clicking this button a cross is placed in the geography on a specific distance from the selected position including the previous result.

Shows a report on usage by customers of all involved cables.

Text in the line is printed in red and in bold

Status of the cable is not equal to 1, i.e. the cable is not in use.

Text in this line on a light orange background.

The cable is associated with a cable work.

Cable name column

The color in this column is the color of the tube as indicated in the "Maintain cable types" screen.

Fiber column

The color in this column is the color of the fiber as indicated in the "Maintain cable types" screen.

End point column

In this column the end point of the fiber is presented. If this symbol () is also presented in this column, then the fiber is completely finished on the other side.

Port equipment column

In this column can be registered port equipment that is connected to the fiber. This position can not contain a patch.

Section name column

When the symbol is show in the record, additional information is available, by using the context menu (right mousebutton) > Extra information.

Double-click in the grid

Report on the connection of the fiber in the selected line.

Double-click in the grid Project number

Switches back to the "Enter/change/remove cable work" screen to the corresponding cable work project.

Right-mouse button in grid

By clicking the right-mouse button in the grid a menu containing several options will appear.

Key P

If you press the P key whilst you are in the Endpoint column, this endpoint will be displayed in the geographical screen.

Key L

Open screen "Maintain section name" (Not for all customers).

Key C

Present a report on the complete connection of the selected fiber.

On many locations in Cocon searching is being done by a wildcard. This means everything containing (a part of) the given string is being found in the searched items.
It is possible to give a wildcard at the beginning or end of the search string by the “|” (pipe)-sign.
This way only items containing the full search string (at the beginning or end) are being found.

Copy section name

With this the section name, the reservation date, the end date, the fiber status, and the project number are copied from the previous line into the current line. In this way a second parallel fiber may be selected in an easy way.

This change may not be performed if a cable work is present for the fiber for which is indicated that no mutations may be executed.

Usage unknown

With this you indicate that the section name is unknown for the selected fiber. The section name is assigned the "Used: section name unknown" value. This prevents incorrect reservation.

This change may not be performed if a cable work is present for the fiber for which is indicated that no mutations may be executed.

Cancel reservation

This allows you to cancel an existing reservation of a fiber. The fiber has then been freed up and is available for other reservations. The fiber status and the section name will be emptied.

This change may not be performed if a cable work is present for the fiber for which is indicated that no mutations may be executed.

Delete section name

With this you remove the section name for the selected fiber. The fiber has then been freed up and is available for other reservations.

If positions are still in use by a patch you will be asked - just to make sure - whether you don't need to remove these patches first. If you indeed wish to remove these patches you answer No and subsequently remove the patches.

This change may not be performed if a cable work is present for the fiber for which is indicated that no mutations may be executed.

In addition it is possible to release a complete connection with this function. The status of the connection has to be entirely reserved for removal (status 2). When the patches are also reserved for removal they will be removed as well. When the patches aren’t reserved for removal the connection will have a status 3 (free connection) afterwards.

Confirm reservation

This allows you to confirm the reservation of a fiber. The fiber status will be changed from 0 to 1.

This change may not be performed if a cable work is present for the fiber for which is indicated that no mutations may be executed.

Confirm bid

This allows you to confirm the bid reservation of a fiber. The fiber status will be changed from 0 to 1.

This change may not be performed if a cable work is present for the fiber for which is indicated that no mutations may be executed.

Extra information ( )

By selecting this option, an insert field will appear where the remark has already been entered or can be entered. It goes without saying that remarks can only be changed by users who are also permitted to manage fibers.

It can also be indicated that an appliance is installed which gives extra attenuation. The details of this connection are to be found under the screen "Theoretical attenuation"

The second input field is to register the decline of a fiber. By clicking on the button, a picture is presented of the decline in time.

When a remark has been entered an will appear on the right, in the section name field.

Create cable pack

Based on the selected fiber(s) you can generate an cable package. It's possible to select one or more fibers with the same section name.

Click on the right mouse button after your selection. Select ' make cable pack'. After you confirm this option, your cable package can be saved in different formats.
