<p>A system and method for recording, maintaining and viewing placement and configuration of equipment within remote field sites. Specifically, a means is provided for defining equipment, in terms of components, such as modules, shelves (204) and racks (202). Once components are defined, they are configured by specifying interrelationships between components. Once racks (202) are configured, they are placed within a particular location in a particular remote site. A site hierarchy is created prior to creating placing racks in remote sites. An example of a site hierarchy is a site, structure, floor (302), zone (304), planning unit (306) and row (308). Graphical tools are used to assist the user in configuring components, defining hierarchy levels and placing racks (202). Data related to components, configured equipment, site hierarchies and placement of equipment are stored in a central database (108).</p> |
