Configuring Pipe Specifications

In UIM, you can describe where the pipe terminates in general terms (a network) or at a high level of specificity (on a particular sub-interface). This section provides the procedure on how to configure a Pipe specification.

To configure a Pipe specification:

1. Create a new Pipe specification or navigate to the editor of an existing one.

   See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.

2. In the Pipe Specification editor, click the Capacities Required tab.

3. Do one of the following:

   • Click Select to select an existing Capacity Required specification. The Add Entities dialog box appears, listing all available Capacity Required specifications.

   • Click Add to create a new Capacity Required specification. See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.

4. (Optional) If this Pipe specification is associated with a signal structure, click the Signal Structure tab and do one of the following:

   • Click Select to select an existing Pipe Signal Termination Point specification. The Pipe Signal Termination Point Specification dialog box appears, listing all available Pipe Signal Termination Point specifications.

   • Click Signal Structure to create a new Signal Termination specification. See "Creating New Specifications" for information about creating a new Pipe Signal Termination Point specification. When you have completed working on the new specification, return to the editor of the original Pipe Signal Termination Point specification.

   The specification that you selected or created is displayed in the Signal Structure tab. The number of child signals is also displayed.

5. (Optional) If the Specification is not associated with a signal structure, click the Capacity Provided tab and do one of the following:

   • Click Select to select an existing Capacity Provided specification. The Add Entities dialog box appears, listing all available Capacity Provided specifications.

   • Click Add to create a new Capacity Provided specification. See "Creating New Specifications" to create the specification. When you have completed working on the new specification, return to the editor of the original Pipe specification.

   The specification you selected or created appears in the Capacities Provided tab.

6. From the File menu, select Save.
