Filter
At the top of the page is a ‘Mnemonic’ filter: if you enter text in this field, the list of tielines is
restricted to those tielines whose names contain the text you entered.
Tieline List
The tieline list has 6 columns:
• ID. These are the database IDs of the tielines.
• Control System. This field is the database ID of the control system to which a tieline is
assigned.
• Control System Tieline ID. This field is the database ID of the tieline with respect to the con-
trol system in which it is defined.
• Cost. This field is a cost value for the tieline. You can assign an arbitrary value to this field. The
NV9000 software uses cost as a factor in determining the best tieline path for a route.
• Name. This field is the name assigned to the tieline when it was created.
• Description. Descriptions of the tielines are optional and free-format. However, it is prudent
to create meaningful descriptions. Other configurers might need to know what you
intended.
You can use click, shift-click, and control-click techniques to select any of the tielines in the list.
Buttons
‘Edit Selected Tielines’ Button
This button opens one or more tieline editing pages — one for for each of the tielines you have
selected in the tieline list. It is in a tieline editing page that you specify, graphically, the port
connections of a simple tieline.
See Tieline Configuration Page on page 419.
‘Add Tieline’ Button
This button causes NV9000-SE Utilities to display the ‘Add Tieline’ page. The ‘Add Tieline’ page
starts a tieline definition.
See ‘Add Tieline’ Page on page 415.
