Device Info Block

The Device Info Block command is used to place a user-defined information block, similar to the Sheath Info Block, which is used on Fiber spans. This information block can be used for any Fiber device, other than spans and slack features. The cell used for the Device Info Block must be defined before this command can be used.

Open the Device Info Block dialog by clicking on File > OpenComms Settings > OSP – Common > Device Info Block to display the following setup dialog:

Note: Fields 101-105 in the Available fill-in fields can be repeated in the 'Current fill-ins' box. This allows the user to display information for all node internals in the Device Info Block.

After naming your Device Info Block, assigning a cell (with PBA fields defined in it), and selecting the fill-in fields from the list of Available fill-in fields, click the 'Add' button to add this Device Info Block cell to your spec file.

Note: See the information in Section 5 of the Bentley Fiber User guide for instructions on placing the Device info Block cell.
