5.2.4 Planning

Use Case:

DTM Instance Handling

Brief Description:

With this use case a "Planning Engineer" actor can handle (E.g. instantiate, import, export, delete) a device instance in the Frame Application.

Included Use Case:

Create Instance

Brief Description:

In this use case a new device instance can be created and placed into the project.

After creation of a new device instance, the device parameter set must be instantiated. This action is performed by the DTM.

GUI:

Frame Application and DTM (if it supports device default selection)

Included Use Case:

Import

Brief Description:

The parameter set may be instantiated by importing data from a database (for example a template database) or by copying the parameter set from an already instantiated and verified device.

GUI:

Included Use Case:

Export

Brief Description:

To copy data from one device instance to another, the device instance data can be exported.

GUI:

Included Use Case:

Delete Instance

Brief Description:

Deletion of a device instance

Included Use Case:

Scan

Brief Description:

Retrieves the list of available devices via the IFdtSubtopology interface from a channel object. The channel object may be provided by a DTM or by Frame Application.

GUI:

The Frame Application may offer a GUI for representation of the list of devices.

Print:

No support

Device Connection:

Needs a temporary connection. (The channel must have online access.)

Included Use Case:

Network Management

Brief Description:

Use case for network management purposes e.g. address setting as a function of a Communication-DTM.

Included Use Case:

DTM matching

Brief Description:

Use case for finding a DTM that matches best the information retrieved in the Scan use case.

Included Use Case:

Create Instance

Brief Description:

In this use case a new device instance can be created and placed into the project.

After creation of a new device instance, the device parameter set must be instantiated. This action is performed by the DTM.

GUI:

Frame Application and DTM (if it supports device default selection)

Use Case:

System Planning

Brief Description:

Use case to perform all necessary actions for the editing of topology information.

Included Use Case:

Channel Assignment

Brief Description:

Use case for editing the FDT channel assignments

Use Case:

List of Supported Devices

Brief Description:

In this use case a list of all supported devices within a project can be viewed and edited.

A " Planning Engineer" actor can select a device from this list to create a new device instance.

An actor with the " Administrator" actor flag set has access to change this list.
