Source Device – Specifies the device that will initiate the activity. This choice

box will be populated with the list of all devices in the model that are capable

of originating activities. These devices will be identified by their station names

and device names (generally the device type) separated by a colon character.

Target Device – Specifies the device that will be targeted by the activity. This

choice box will be populated with the list of all devices in the model that are

capable of receiving an activity. Like the source devices, devices in this list

will be identified by their station names and devices names separated by a

colon character.

Activity Types List – This list box will be populated with the set of activities

that are compatible with the two selected devices serving as source and target.

If a given type of activity has already been specified between two devices, that

activity will not be present in this list.

Once the source device, target device, and activity type has been chosen and

the

OK button has been pressed, another dialog box will appear which requires

you to specify the properties for that activity. At the minimum, the properties

for an activity will specify the time interval for that activity. An example of

such a property sheet is shown below. After specifying the properties, press the

Apply button the add the activity to the model.

By default, activities between station devices are not represented on the

drawing canvas. They can be displayed by selecting Layers/Show Activity

Links from the Network Planner’s View menu. The activities associated with a

station can be seen in the station summary.
