Working with Network, Pipe, Capacity, and Signal Structure Specifications
In Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management (UIM), you use Network specifications to describe a network as a whole. Capacity refers to the amount and type of resource that entities require or provide. You define the nature of the capacity, how it is measured, and how it is used. Signal structures support connectivity by defining the capacity and channel hierarchy of pipes. Pipes are the fundamental entities for modeling connectivity in UIM. You can use pipes to represent both physical connectivity and logical connectivity.
When working with Network, Pipe, Capacity, and Signal Structure specifications, see the following topics:
