Optical Service creation
The sequence for creating a new optical patch, seen from a documentation POI:
- Consult DWDM planning drawing to find free slot in nodes
- Consult channel planning sheet to find free channel
- Onsite work: required patch cables are labeled according to "Michael/Bergroths rules"
Patch ID's are put into editgrid, reference is made only to physical objects; port names, ODF, rack ID etc.
These steps are the same as before.
