16. Patent Items
ConsulMetrix is actively engaged in the patent application process for two
proprietary items of intellectual property. One is the software
presentation shell and other specific unique elements that comprise the
core of the Anatomy (c) software. The second is the specific software and
firmware mechanisms that will implement the driver level integration
between the Anatomy software and other hardware and software in the
network configuration.
ConsulMetrix claimsthat both of these inventions make use of unique
ideas, mechanisms and functions that are not obvious extensions of prior
art.
Anatomy is a software system that will provide interactive control,
reconfiguration, maintenance and monitoring of an integratedinformation
infrastructure to which the Anatomy software is connected. This software
will be capable of interfacing to many standard presentation managers as
well as current network management software packages. This software
accomplishes these tasks by interfacingwith the Area, Buildingand
Horizontal distribution closets (ADC, BDC and HDC respectively) at
both a software and hardwarelevel, providing automatedcommand,
control and monitoring of communication closets and other infrastructure.
The communications closets types and configurations are defined by the
Network Transition Process Methodology program.

17. Field and Record Definitions for the Database used by
the NTPM Design Tool Set andAnatomy* Software
1. record #
This is a unique number for every record, which facilitates
look-up and cross reference.
2. zone
This determines the boundaries of the first hierarchical
subdivision of the network. Typically this would segment a
campus or metropolitan network.
3. bldg
This is the next subdivision of the network.
4. adc
This is the closet (Area Distribution Closet) that would be
aligned with (typically) the zone. However there may be
more than one ADC per zone.
5. bdc
This is the closet (Building Distribution Closet) that would
be aligned with (typically) the building. It is possible to
have more than one BCD per building.
6. hdc
This is the closet (Horizontal Distribution Closet) that
would be used to provide the last layer of distribution before
the information outlet. There would typically be a number
of HDC's in a building.
7. i/o
This is the Information Outlet. Any given I/O could support
a number of actual physical connections.
Page4,Ver. 1.0 CMI W Associati

18. 8. i/o channel
This is the actual physical connection for any given logical
port. This also is the "final entity" to which this database
record refers. There is a separate record in the database for
every single i/o channel.
9. bandwidth
This is the step value for the bandwidth to be allocated on
this i/o channel.
10. protocol
This is the protocol used on this i/o channel.
11. media
This is the type of physical media used to support this i/o
channel.
12. logic symbol
This is the symbol icon that represents the logical
connection that is supported by this i/o channel.
13. i/o channel id
This is the identifier that is affixed to the physical i/o
channel presentation on the i/o connection (typically the
name descriptor on the wall outlet).
14. i/o media id
This is the identifier that is affixed to the physical i/o
channel media. This is usually the cable run from the final
HDC to the i/o itself.
15. backbone segment
This is the primary backbone segment to which this i/o
channel is assigned.
16. server
iMtfPage 5, Ver. 1.0 CMIT11^ Associate

19. This is the server name (or names) to which the i/o channel
is logically assigned or may have access.
17. gel coordinate
This is the coordinate on the grid element location map. This
gives the physical location of the information outlet channel
referenced by this record. See detail on grid elements for
field formatting.
General Notes: The database is implemented with a relational type database
program. The child file names are (at least): customer data, adc data, bdc data,
hdc data, media id, i/o id, server data, backbone data, symbol table. The parent
file names are (at least): i/o records (this example), media records, closet records.

Fig. 2 Sample Grid Element Map
Grid elements are referred to by coordinates similar to arrays. The nomenclature used is of the form
(x,y,z) where x andy are thecoordinates on a single floor, with z being the floor number. Unless
otherwise stated, the basic grid metric is a spacing of 10feet. This approximates the normal
dimensioning of office buildings, with a floor to floor space of about ten feet, and gives a reasonable
degree of precision for typical office sizes.
In the sample above, the coordinate (0,0,0) would refer to the upper left-hand corner of the diagram,
the z term, 0, refers to the ground floor. Floors above ground are positive numbers, while floors below
ground are negative numbers. This is a standard international designation. Therefore (12,43,-3)
would most likely be in a large underground parking garage, as it would be three floors underground,
and refer to a coordinate that is 120 feet from one edge of the structure and 430 feet from the other
edge. The coordinate (5,9,26) would most likely be in a high rise office building.
There is no restriction to howbig the coordinate system can grow with this type of descriptor index.
This systemis also scaleable, in that the absolute size of a grid element is not described in the
coordinate system. Therefore a grid size of ten feet is standard, but nothing would prevent grid sizes of
one foot, twenty feet or metric designations. It will also be apparent that mixed grid sizes will be of use
within certain structures. A basic office floor plan would require ten foot grids, while the main
communications closets may benefit from a one foot grid to better define the many connections
contained in such a small space.
The simplest method to provide global referenceand different scalings is to use a scale factor that will
accurately define the finest gradation, with a multiple of this used for areas of larger granularity. An
example, using one foot grids, is the following:
Office floor of 10,000 square feet (100' x 100')
The basic office areas would use coordinates in multiples of ten, i.e.
(40,20,0) would refer to a grid 40 feet and 20 feet fromthe origin.
A high-density area would use the finer gradation, such as a comms
closet or video server location, i.e. (61,12,0) would refer to a one square foot area 61
feet and 12 feet fromthe origin.
