A circuit comprises a collection of components that represent a signal path between specified elements in the network.
Circuits are assigned an initial property set when the telecom domain network they reside in is created; however, you can set or modify the properties for circuits using the Set Circuit Properties tool.
Beta:
The telecom domain network is available as beta functionality through the Early Adopter Community in ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5, as a result some links may not be active. To access this functionality and learn more, join the Telecom Domain Network Early Adopter Community.
Requirements
To set circuit properties, the following requirements must be met:
- The network topology must be disabled.
- When working with an enterprise geodatabase, ensure the following:
- The Input Utility Network parameter value must be from a database connection established as the database utility network owner.
- The connected ArcGIS Enterprise portal account must be the portal utility network owner.
Set the circuit properties for a telecom domain network
To set the circuit properties for a telecom domain network, complete the following steps:
- On the Analysis tab, in the Geoprocessing group, click Tools
to open the Geoprocessing pane. - In the Geoprocessing pane, search for and select Set Circuit Properties.
- For the Input Utility Network parameter, choose a utility network.
- For the Telecom Domain Network parameter, choose the domain network.
- Optionally, check the Share Circuit Points check box.
This option specifies whether starting and stopping points can be shared between circuits.
- Checked—A starting or stopping point may be used to define one or more circuits in the telecom domain network.
- Unchecked—A starting or stopping point may only be used to define a single circuit in the telecom domain network. This is the default.
- Optionally, check the Import Circuits As Clean check box.
This option specifies whether circuit definitions are imported to the Circuit table with the Status attribute value of Clean or Dirty.
- Checked—The Status attribute value of imported circuits is Clean and the Last verified attribute is null. When the network topology is disabled, the Status attribute field is not updated.
- Unchecked—The Status attribute value of imported circuits is Dirty. When the network topology is disabled, the Status attribute field is updated to Dirty for all circuits.
- For the Num Paths parameter, specify the maximum number of paths that can be returned between a given set of starting and stopping points. This specifies the default setting for the option when you run a path trace. The default is 2.
- For the Max Hops parameter, specify the maximum number of hops between edges allowed in the path, excluding the starting point.
This specifies the default setting for the option when you run a path trace. The default is 100.
All edges and junction-junction connectivity associations are evaluated as having a fixed unit length of 1 on traversal. Terminal devices are evaluated as having a fixed unit length of 2.
- Optionally, expand the Circuit Trace Configuration section to set the defaults used when you create, modify, verify, and export circuits in your network.
The settings in this section automatically populate the trace configuration used by the traces that are run to identify valid paths for a circuit on creation, modification, and export. They are also used by the Verify Circuits tool to generate summaries, to confirm that a circuit can be traced from the starting point to the stopping point, and to confirm that the Share Circuit Points setting is honored.
- Include Barrier Features—Specifies whether barriers will be included.
- Validate Locatability—Specifies whether an error will be returned if unlocatable junction or edge objects are encountered.
- Summaries—Calculates and stores function information for user-defined attributes in the Circuit table.
- Condition Barriers—Defines a feature or object that will stop an operation based on network attributes and categories.
- Function Barriers—Defines a feature or object that will stop an operation based on a function.
- Apply Traversability To—Defines the traversability scope to enforce. Apply traversability to only junctions, only edges, or both junctions and edges.
- Click Run.
The subnetwork properties are defined for the tier. To view the subnetwork properties, open the utility network's layer properties and view the Network Properties tab. To establish subnetworks within the tier, see Create a subnetwork.
