I want to find out whether it is possible to create a new network port type in DCO.
The reason is that I want to able to create a port type that indicate it is either OM4, OM5 or OS2 fibre type for an MPO modules.

Hi Daryl
Good to hear form you. The patch panel / network card port types are fixed and as far as I know cannot be changed.
You can create your own cable types "Tools - Configure Network Cable Types" and use these types to create Genome entries. One of these cable Genomes can be selected during the creation of a connection.
I hope I'm telling you something new.
Cheers
Ed

Hi Daryl,
We cannot manually add network port types to the existing list, however perhaps the following work around can generally be used, eg. if a desired port type doesn't exist in the drop-down list, then as illustrated we can select "Other" and give it a proper name (such as OM4...):
Kind regards
