A circuit is a collection of components that represent a signal path between specified elements in a telecom domain network. A circuit may be composed of disconnected collections of connected elements, which are called sections. A circuit can be nonsectioned or composed of more than one section that are partially ordered (arranged in parallel or sequentially).
Beta:
The telecom domain network is available as beta functionality through the Early Adopter Community in ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5, as a result some links may not be active. To access this functionality and learn more, join the Telecom Domain Network Early Adopter Community.
When a circuit is verified using the Verify Circuits tool or from the Find Circuits pane, a trace is performed to ensure that the circuit can be traversed between the starting and stopping points, only a single path exists, and the Share Circuit Points parameter configuration is honored. When successful, the Circuit table is updated, the Status field is updated to Clean, and the Last Verified field is updated with a timestamp.
Dive-in:
Consumed circuits must be verified before the consuming circuit can be verified. If any subcircuit consumed by the circuit being verified is dirty, the circuit cannot be verified, and the operation will fail.
Requirements
The following requirements must be met to verify a circuit:
- The telecom domain network must contain one or more circuits.
- The network topology must be enabled.
- Any edits must be saved.
- When working with an enterprise geodatabase, the Input Utility Network parameter value must be from a utility network service.
Verify one or more circuits
To update one or more circuits in a telecom domain network using the Verify Circuits tool, complete the following steps:
- On the Analysis tab, in the Geoprocessing group, click Tools
to open the Geoprocessing pane. - In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and select Verify Circuits.
- For Input Utility Network, select the utility network.
- Click the Domain Network drop-down arrow and choose a telecom domain network.
- For Circuits, provide the name or names of the dirty circuits to be verified.
When specifying multiple circuits, use a comma delimited list.
- Click Run.
The specified circuits are verified. Any circuit that fails to validate returns an error and the status becomes invalid in the Circuit table.
After the verify circuit operation completes, review the Circuit table to inspect the Status and Last Verified attribute values.
Note:
You can also use the Find Circuits pane to explore and verify circuits. When you use the pane for verification, the Verify Circuits tool is not used and nothing is logged in the geoprocessing history.
