Managing Points A and B of a Link

This article explains how to configure points A and B (endpoints of a communication link).

Points A and B of a link are found on the line record in the "Cabling / Extension" section.

For this section to be visible on the line record, the line must have the following characteristic (in the "Line Information" section): 

• Segment = "Data"

The "Cabling / Extension" section presents a part concerning Point A, and another specific to Point B

The locatio indicated for Point A corresponds to the site linked to the line from the Asset Management module (the location associated with the line from asset management is directly synchronized with Point A of the line).

Point B must be entered directly in the Point B fields from the line record.

1. Click in the "Assigned Locations" field
2. Select a location from the proposed list (list of locations associated with the management group in the "Account Management" module). 

3. The field updates and the link now has a configured Point B:

If the location you want to associate does not exist at the root or management group, you can create it by clicking on the site creation icon : 

This only works if the user is subscribed to the "Account Management" module.

If the line type is changed and no longer offers points A and B, note that the data is not lost. Point A remains the site linked to the line in the asset management, and Point B remains stored in the database.
