Circuits

network circuits

The Circuits page will display all Fiber Circuits in your network. By default, Circuits will be displayed starting with the most recently modified. Use the search tools in the upper right to navigate through your Circuits.

You may click on a Circuit here to view more information, but you will most often end up viewing a Circuit from another page, such as a Subscriber's package view or from the Network Monitoring page.

Parent Circuit


A Parent Circuit is the entire path of service from your network to an endpoint or Subscriber. For instance, a fiber connection Parent Circuit would be made up of hardware and fiber drop cables. The various paths within a Parent Circuit are called Vendor Circuits. For better understanding, view the graphic below.

View Parent Circuit

The Parent Circuit view is separated into attributes, segments, and the map view of the Circuit. At the top of the page there are icons to do the following:

people-24px.svg - View associated Subscribers

event-24px.svg - View or add associated Network Events

attachment-24px.svg - View or add attachments

create-24px.svg - Manually edit the Circuit

This is a Last Mile Circuit for a Subscriber. Below Last Mile Details we have links to view the associated Subscriber followed by Vendor Circuit A and Z.

Vendor Circuit A refers to the starting Circuit within this subscriber's Parent Circuit. Click on the Circuit name to view more information. Below the Circuit name we'll see the Hardware that this Circuit is tied to and its Location.

Vendor Circuit Z is the endpoint of this Parent Circuit, in this case the Subscriber's location.

Under Segments you can view all of the Vendor Circuits that make up the Parent. This simple Parent Circuit is only made up of two Vendor Circuits. Click the Circuit ID for more information. You may also click on the Side A Address (the starting point of the circuit) or the Side Z Address (the end of the circuit).

The map view of the Circuit will show the path with nodes designating different pieces of Hardware.

Edit Parent Circuit 


Making changes to an existing ethernet circuit can be necessary in some situations. For example, it can be necessary to update Vision to match a change in the customer's configuration, like if they want to change routers. 

The active services card will display devices that are connected to the subscriber account. 

circuit1.png

From the services tab, click on the applicable package, then select the launch-24px.svg icon next to the applicable device. 

circuit-2.png

View the current circuit associated with that subscriber and the devices. Click on the create-24px.svg icon to make changes to the circuit. 

circuit4.png

Replace the Side Z circuit with the circuit description from the first ONT port.  

circuit5.png

Click UPDATE DETAILS to save the new circuit information. 

circuit7.png

From the Segments drop-down, click the minus-circle.svg icon to remove the previous ethernet circuit. 

circuit8.png

Select UPDATE SEGMENTS to save the changes.

The active services card will no longer display the previous customer equipment.

Add Circuit


Click the plus-circle (1).svg icon to add a new circuit. Input the circuit type details, description and status, then click ADD DETAILS.

add.circuit.1.JPG

Input the last mile details, including the subscriber, side A vendor circuit and side Z vendor curcuit. Click ADD DETAILS when complete. 

add.circuit.2.JPG

Enter any vendor circuit endpoints, then click ADD CIRCUIT to complete the process.

Vendor Circuit


The Vendor Circuit view is similar to a Parent Circuit. In addition to the Description and Status there is a link to the associated Purchase Order. We also see the Side A and Z for this Circuit which shows the location and Hardware (including the slot and port) the Circuit is attached to.

Below the attributes we'll see a list of all the Parent Circuits above this Vendor Circuit.
