After the Specification file has been built and all the equipment values entered in, the OpenComms Coax tab can be used to route Coax cables and equipment. The different sections of the Coax tab contain tools which will allow the user to modify, delete, connect, disconnect, power, locate equipment, and review the Coax network. This section describes the methods used in Bentley Coax to design and edit a coaxial network, review signal levels on different equipment and to locate devices on the map.

Before designing coaxial network, the vendor specific equipment specifications must be defined. To setup or edit the equipment information, see the OpenComms Coax Setup section.
