NET enables the management of breakdowns from the time of the first report to the elimination of the fault in a form. In this case, not only the date, location and suspected faulty network element are managed, but also the employee who received the breakdown and the technician who executed the breakdown repair order, if an order became necessary.
A breakdown can be set with different work steps starting from a connector for an FO network or a pin for a TP network.
Procedure
Start the workflow in Workflow Explorer > TP workflows > Detect breakdown (from pin) by double-clicking it, from the context menu or by clicking the button in the lower right area of the workflow explorer:
or in the TP Pin form in the “Edit” menu:
Note
If the workflow was started from the form, the terminator and pin are set automatically. Then continue with point 4.
The workflow for creating a breakdown opens:
1. You can select how the feature selection is to be made:
a) The terminator can be selected in the map.
b) The terminator can be taken from the form.
2. The entries can be added or removed.
3. The pin from which the breakdown was measured can be selected. Right-clicking on a pin opens a context menu with functions for opening the form or connection overview and for highlighting the network path.
4. The maximum network path length (including all connected features) from the pin is displayed.
5. The distance between the breakdown and the pin determined from the measurement must be entered.
6. The potential breakdown location can be marked.
7. The workflow is started by clicking the “Run” button.
The detailed form for the breakdown opens. Here, the breakdown can also be corrected in the “Edit” menu.
