I agree, fully! A dummy object much like the EventModel, but more like a device model- that have device attributes (Maintenanse etc) AND portlike capabilities for connecting with other devices. Then you can use Southbound GW to change status on these models using a third party monitoring tool. I think I did a enhancementRQ for this abut 2 years ago, but then CA didn't see a bigger need for it. /Roberth

I need to be able to represent the links between switch ports to CWDM and between CWDMs. This image might give an idea: There won't be alarms, traffic stats, events coming from these devices - they will be used just to connect "things" nothing more. So far, I've been playing with WAN containers, WA_Segments, fanouts and pingables in order to "model" CWDM ports. James Wiedel gave me an idea to use a WAN Container and WA_Segment; I'm trying to implement it at the moment. Any idea about how to solve this issue is greatly appreciated.

Since we can't poll it with SNMP or ICMP, then I assume that there is some type of management system for this that can forward information / alarms. If that is the case then you can use the Southbound Gateway to show those alarms and information. A similar example - Cable power supplies, amplifiers, transponders that have not IP address but talk to a management station. That management station generates alarms to Spectrum so that we can parse out the information and create "eventModel" models to represent these nonpollable components.

What I'm looking for it's a visual representation. Is there any multiplexer model in Spectrum?
