Port Groups and Port Numbers

Port Groups and Port Numbers

Port numbers in CAIRS are the equivalent to EQNs for the EWSD switch, and LENs for the Nortel switch/PBX platform. Note that your switch port numbers can only be imported into CAIRS through the Switch Sync function. When the port numbers are initially imported, CAIRS creates a default port group called “Import” and puts all numbers into that group within the Switches menu. You can create your own port groups and then move port numbers from the “Import” group into your groups.

You can view port numbers status (ex. Bad, Active, Spare) and mark bad port numbers here in the Switches menu.
