Release Notes NET 13.1.2

Summary

With NET 13.1.2, NET Design now officially supports Comsof Fiber version 23.2. Among many new features, this version no longer supports FTTC networks where the last section to the customer is covered by copper cables. The corresponding extension for NET Design is no longer available to users of the new version of Comsof.

A change in NET Engineering affects the fiber optic connection editor. It's now possible to establish connections where a connector is simultaneously connected with a fiber and a splitter path.

Furthermore, the new version offers numerous improvements and bug fixes to optimize performance and stability.

Release NET 13.1.2 in Detail

General

One-click-maintenance

  • The 1-Click maintenance "TKI: Invalid control references" has been adapted so that spaces are now also recognized and removed.

Documentation Pack

  • In the DocPack now in the tooltips for the attribute placeholders the captions of the attributes and the feature classes will be shown.

  • If there are files being used in the DocPack output which are located on a network drive, now they will be copied to the temporary directory of the local drive and used in DocPack output.

NET Design

Comsof Fiber Integration

  • Added support for Comsof Fiber 23.2.X version.

NET Engineering

General

  • An error in the export of name schemes has been fixed.

  • An error in the license selection has been fixed.

  • For better readability, the highlighting of replacement tokens in input fields has been recoloured. This can be found, for example, in the conversion settings for detailed planning and in the DocPack.

  • The length of the cables will be recalculated from the direct outer segements and ducts of the cables, when the geometry of the subordinate cables of a duct is deleted using the duct dialog

Comsof: Import material definition

  • The labels for existing and non-existing splitters are now displayed as intended.

Workflows

  • In the "Split ducts" workflow, the CAD length of all split ducts is now calculated correctly again if the NET option "Automatically re-calculate duct lengths" is activated.

  • The German translation for the workflow "Recalculate duct and cable length" was improved.

Dialogs

  • If the checkbox for the forms is deactivated during the structure update, these are now also not updated.

  • When displaying the attenuation values in the form of the fiber the english translation has been added and the format of the number has been corrected.

Connection editor

  • The FO connection editor can now connect a connector with a fiber and a splitter path at the same time.

NET Build Integration

  • Conversion errors that led to a crash during NET Build Pull are now recorded in detail in the logs. These contain the exact cause of the error as well as recommended actions to rectify the problem.

  • The synchronization between NET Build and NET Engineering now handles Yes/No values correctly.

  • The data transfer to NET Build can now also transfer custom defined fields for distribution clusters.

  • An error in the data transfer to NET Build has been fixed where customer-specific values were not transferred for manholes.

  • A Custom Field Value of the Date-Time type is displayed correctly with milliseconds

  • In redlining, production reports that do not contain service items are now also loaded.

  • When synchronizing field reports from NET Build, the filter selection for production reports was ignored. This problem has been fixed.

  • During the import of data from NET Build to Redlining, an error message with unassignable NET Build units may occur. An invalid value = 0 was displayed. This error has been fixed and the message improved at the same time.

  • NET Build pull throws an error with account that does not have rights to run the integration scripts

  • When synchronizing field reports from NET Build, unused custom attributes are now also transferred.

Redlining

  • The documentation data transfer from redlining data now no longer displays a warning if all validations have been carried out without errors.

  • The validation "Ducts with invalid start node" of the data transfer from Redlining to NET Engineering now no longer shows an error if there is an alternative closure with the name of the expected structure.

  • During the "Link devices" action of the Redlining data transfer, an abort and error could occur. This problem has been fixed.

  • In the redlining data transfer, an error has been fixed that prevented the "Link distribution network" action from being completed.

  • In the redlining data transfer, redlining attributes are now also transferred.

  • It is now possible to use the NET REST server to validate the accuracy of GPS measurements of points in field reports against a threshold.

NET Operations

Network routing

  • When the user wanted to end the current network path search or delete all found paths, the search process was still running in the background. This problem has been solved.

NET Field Survey

Validation

  • The validation of a cluster does not lead to a crash if a trench and the cluster boundary overlap.
