Center Label Format |
String used to create the center label. Can make use of the following variables: {0} = Backbone Number {1} = Total Count {2} = Total Available Count {3} = Total Dead Count {4} = Single Mode Fiber Count {5} = Available Single Mode Fiber Count {6} = Dead Single Mode Fiber Count {7} = Multimode Fiber Count {8} = Available Multimode Fiber Count {9} = Dead Multimode Fiber Count
Example: assume that our backbone number is 1001 with 12 single mode fibers of which 1 is dead and four are in use.
String: B{0}-SM COUNT:{4} Avail:{5} Dead:{6}
Output: B1001-SM COUNT:12 Avail:8 Dead:1
String: B{0}
Output: B1001 |
