Cómo agregar "medium converter" en Communications Data Management para la solución ArcGIS Enterprise

Question

Hola

Intenté agregar en Communications Data Management para ArcGIS Enterprise 1.1 Preview el "Medium Converter: Fiber to Coax", que @Anonymous User mostró en el video aquí: https://web.bd.esri.com/utilities/telco/Videos/CDM4AE/CDM4AE_player.html (el video es para la versión 1 de la solución).

En la versión 1.1 de la solución busco en el mismo lugar y trato de agregar a "Contains" nuevo el ítem, pero no pude encontrarlo en los dispositivos disponibles.

¿Está esto ausente porque es solo una preview, o cuál es el flujo de trabajo para cómo se puede agregar este objeto?

Gracias,

Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,

Great finding on the changes on network type transitions!

In the v1.1 model, we have removed the Medium Converter equipment, and the network type transition will be reflected by the connector types contained within the device.

Let me show you an example in the sample data (Early Preview). Here we have a fiber-to-coax transition point, which we can use any device based on your engineering guideline and network architecture. In this case, I am using a Hub Terminator which contains a Patch Panel Chassis (for internal connection), a fiber connector group (incoming junctions from the fiber cable), and 3 coax connector groups (downstream junctions to the coax cables).

This design will give us flexibility in modeling complex equipment and network conversion. You can place different types of chassis to model the original "medium converter" behavior, using splitters, patch panels, amplifiers, and other equipment to show more detail about what is going on within the conversion point.

Hopefully, this information is helpful to you!

Hi Vladimir,

For the two questions:

* The is another way to create those features, basically going into the communication junction object and communication edge object table to add additional records to the database. But in this way, you are adding records one by one which is not our recommended practice using the out-of-the-box configuration and it takes such a long long time.

* Thank you for sending over the recorded video. I see you are selecting the connector groups as the starting point instead of the actual connector itself (need to expand another level within the container) as the starting point (shown below). I would recommend you to over the task items, which has a section for running different types of traces, I believe those will definitely help.
