               Fiber Module & Viewer

          6.00 New Features/Enhancements:

> CWDM & DWDM Wavelength Support added:
  >>Fiber Types
  > Wavelengths and losses must first be added to
    the Fiber Types for any wavelengths you will be
    using and transporting on those fibers.

  >>Splitter Types
  > A mux or demux will contain specific wavelengths
    for some or all of the ports. CWDM or DWDM must
    be assigned to any ports that can pass multiple
    wavelengths. Assigning a specific wavelength to
    a port will cause that wavelength to pass through
    that port and that port only.
  > An optical splitter will have all ports set to
    WDM.

  >>Equipment Types
  > Equipment Type dialog has been updated to display
    port rows and columns as well as tool tips for
    easier reference.

  >>Reports
  > Fiber Equipment Properties dialog has been
    updated to automatically select the connected
    fiber when a port is selected and vice versa.
  > The Port Properties Text (Excel) report has been
    reformatted to display the point that the trace
    originates from in bold text rather than splitting
    the report into two parts. Emitters and detectors
    are now shown at either end of trace. Wavelengths
    and splitter losses are also displayed on the new
    report. The trace will follow the wavelength
    selected. Selecting "All Available" will trace
    through all ports.
  > The Port Properties Detailed (DWG) report has been
    updated to include wavelengths and splitter losses.
    End of lines levels, wavelengths and total
    distance will be displayed at receivers if they
    are connected though a fiber that carries the
    matching wavelength and it is connected to an
    emitter sending the matching wavelength.
  > Fiber Cable Properties Tracing dialog now displays
    all of the wavelengths available to the fiber(s)
    selected, as assigned in Fiber Types. The DWG
    reports will include wavelengths and splitter
    losses. End of lines levels, wavelengths and total
    distance will be displayed at receivers if they
    are connected though a fiber that carries the
    matching wavelength and it is connected to an
    emitter sending the matching wavelength. When
    running a Fiber Trace you will be prompted to
    select a wavelength. The trace will follow the
    wavelength selected. Selecting "All Available"
    will trace through all ports.

> New Advanced Open Options:
  > You can now specify that fiber objects will only
    open if they have selected Usage, Circuit ID or
    Customer properties. Select one or more of these
    properties or use the Wildcard option to select
    objects containing partial matches.

> The Lode Properties dialog has been made more user
  friendly and easier to edit.


              6.00 Maintenance notes:

> Template drawings for DWG traces and ISP rooms are
  now stored in the Lode Data program directory to
  simplify user right requirements.

> Layer Groups created by System are now available to
  all users. You are now able to turn off and on the
  groups as well as individual layers.

> It is no longer possible to splice a fiber to itself.

> ISP dialog is now disabled until the window is
  refreshed.

> Layers are no longer case sensitive.

> You can now delete a wavelength from the Mode list
  in Emitter/Detector Types.

> Coordinate Translation is properly starting Map
  Point.

> The Google Earth (KML) file is properly creating
  a KML file with cables.

> Bitmap images are displaying on the proper side of
  the ISP shelf when placed on a rack.
