Product data SheetBeNtLeY® INSIde PLaNtCOMPREHENSIVE DESIGN, DOCUMENTATION, AND MANAGEMENT OF INSIDE PLANT ASSETSGetting StartedAdministrators can define a library of frames (racks), cards and equipment used in the design process along with their associated properties. Equipment in racks and slots can be pre-configured within the equipment. Rules defining valid card-to-slot relation-ships and jumper cable-to-port type validation can also be defined. Racks and equipment are displayed on floor plans which are created with MicroStation® or imported from other sources. These can be as simple as the building footprint, or a detailed architectural drawing.Leverage oracle SpatialWith the introduction of Oracle Spatial into the Bentley Communications applications, all of the geometry in Bentley Inside Plant is persisted in the database. Bentley Communications applications also employ Or-acle Workspace Manager, giving the ability to create and manage versions in an optimistic or pessimistic mode. Bentley Fiber, Bentley® Copper, Bentley® Coax and Bentley Inside Plant functionalities can be used simultaneously during one session. Bentley Inside Plant supports MicroStation and all of the functionality that comes with Bentley Map™.design and documentation of PlantEngineers use pre-configured templates to place a rack or frame on a floor plan. Elevation views are automatically created. Equipment can be moved within the rack by dragging and dropping. Connec-tions are established by selecting the equipment and the associated ports and the user can assign a jumper cable length, type and color. The user can also assign this jumper a “Service” name which is then automatically rippled throughout the entire facility. Schematic representations can be generated automatically by Service name. When connecting to fiber outside the building, users can view Optical System names or sheaths and select the fiber and port to connect or disconnect. Users can easily copy connected racks or groups of racks. All connections are automatically maintained which significantly reduces the time to document multiple facilities with similar equipment.Generate advanced reports Bentley Inside Plant can generate several time-savingreports. The Equipment Specifications Report provides details of equipment used in the design. The Bill of Materials Report includes all racks, equipment, and associated costs. The Connection Report displays the port level connections of the selected equipment.Wire Run and Circuit Trace Reports and logical sche-matic drawings are automatically created.Bentley Inside Plant is an engineering application for designing and documenting the inside plant of com-munications networks found in head-ends, points-of-presence, central offices and other sites. When used with Bentley® Fiber, end-to-end network connectivity from outside to inside plant is maintained, allowing the network to be traced from port to customer. Bentley Inside Plant allows users to define, configure, and place equipment in racks and floor plans that visually depict the precise layout of the facility. Front rack elevation view.Rack Manager allows placement and configuration of equipment. Connect equipment according to specified connection rules.© 2009 Bentley Systems, Incorporated.
