Create Section
Purpose
This dialog allows creating graphical representations of traffic or clock distribution links between NEs and FOs. They are shown as colored lines.
More than one section can be created between the same two targets. Only one line will be shown in that case. The color of the line is modified to show the highest severity of all currently active alarms for both endpoints of all sections represented by that line.
A section leading from a symbol on a group map to a symbol on a higher level map is shown as an arrow pointing away from the symbol.
Please note:
When dealing with sections, both endpoints will always be identified by the NE and FO names specified at creation time. NE and FO names modified using the Rename function in the NEM Network Browser will be ignored. However when renaming an NE in the NEM Configurator via the NE – Create / Properties dialog, the name change is also reflected in the present dialog.

“A End NE” and “Z End NE” have to be selected from the list of available NEs. The list includes only the NEs to which the current user has read access (members of the Domain assigned to the user).
A TP (Termination Point) Label has to be selected in the A End TP and in the Z End TP fields.
