Circuit Vision maintains extensive physical and logical equipment details. Network assignments, equipment assemblies and frame mounting positions are easily maintained. Equipment function, power consumption and physical location are identified.

The Circuit Vision equipment inventory is completely user configurable through detailed dictionaries that capture all equipment components with unlimited configurations.

• Equipment data models accurately depict the physical and functional properties of the network equipment.
• Templates provide for the aggregation of individual components into functional equipment modules.
• Flexible modeling techniques accommodate SONET, frame relay, ATM, voice over IP as well as the traditional voice and data technologies.
• Circuit Vision's dynamic inventory management maintains real-time records.
  • Equipment usage is recorded as order activity occurs.
  • Utilization thresholds provide detailed planning information.
  • Rack face drawings can be produced showing frame utilization.
  • Plug-in management and control.

A Closer Look...

• Equipment Dictionary

The Circuit Vision Equipment Dictionary defines each and every equipment component that will be used in the inventory. Each part can be referenced by up to 7 different searchable names.

This dictionary forms the standard repository for all equipment parts that will be used throughout the system. It contains both tracking and physical information about these components and specifies their ability to carry various assignments.
Circuit vision comes pre-loaded with a database containing over three thousand industry standard parts referenced by their manufacturer assigned part numbers and other industry standard references. Our design team continues to expand and update our standard database as new equipment is updated/introduced by hardware vendors.

• Equipment Frames, Shelves & Cards

Equipment in Circuit Vision is modeled directly after the physical equipment itself - this includes the relationship of cards that reside inside slots on shelves which in turn usually reside in a frame.

• Equipment Assemblies

Equipment Assemblies in Circuit vision allow equipment to be tracked as it is actually installed in the field and provides a significant reduction in the service delivery interval by reducing circuit/facility design time.

The ability to reflect pre-wired equipment as it is installed in the field is critical for maintaining an accurate inventory of any network. It is important that the circuit designer know when they make an assignment what other connections are made. Also, technicians need to know the complete circuit path when trouble shooting network outages.
Circuit vision allows unlimited assemblies (equipment hard-wired connections) that can be tracked. This feature automates the provisioning process by using these assemblies during circuit/facility design.
