Horizontal Links (HL)
A horizontal link is usually set up between a Workspace and a Telecommunication Space,
between termination hardware and faceplates. Depending on the type you select, the input
form will change (for examples, see the graphics after the procedures). Before you can set up
a horizontal link, you must first set up the following:
• Faceplate in the workspace (see “Faceplates” on page 1-78 ).
• Termination hardware in the termination room where you want your faceplate(s) connected
(see
“Termination Hardware ” on page 1-82 ).
Note: Only basic information about the Horizontal Link is required to Save and continue.
