- protocol/quality (e.g. speed, wave length)
You can assign any number of cable types to a cable definition. These will assist you in partitioning when placing cables.
Use the wizard manage cables to:
- create new cable types
- edit existing cable types
- import cable types from the online catalog
- delete cable types
Access the function Manage line definitions via the catalog section on the Dashboard. First a list of all existing line definitions in the catalog is displayed.
Using the respective function (1) new line definitions can be created or imported from the online catalog and existing ones can be deleted. To edit a slot type just double click it.
Please note: Line definitions, which are currently in use, cannot be deleted or edited.

New line definitions can be imported from the online catalog. Before creating new line definitions, please check, if they already exist there. Select the line definitions you need and click on Import. Line definitions already existing in your local catalog will appear greyed out.
When creating a new line definition, enter name, wire/fibre count and type and optionally a description. Decide whether the line type should be visible and manage the qualities of the line type using + and – (4).
Editing a line definition does not differ much from creating one. A similar dialog will open already containing the data of the selected slot type.
