Understand the Prerequisites

Like any software application, Fiber Manager XI has many configuration and implementation options. However, we recommend that you have a working Utility Network (UN) database and ArcGIS Pro project complete with your fiber assets before starting the application configurations. This outline gives you an overall picture of the requirements that must be adopted for a successful implementation of Fiber Manager XI.

Review these items:

1. Gather the requirements for ArcGIS Enterprise.

   • Portal for ArcGIS account with the applicable licensing for ArcGIS products to configure groups and organize content.

   • Link a Federated ArcGIS Server with your ArcGIS Enterprise account to host the GIS web services and map object data.

   • ArcGIS Server Manager login to stop and start services, publish service definitions, define users and roles for security, and more.

2. Configure and download the ArcFM components.

   • Fill out the Request a Tenant form to have your new tenants created. The tenant address provides a unique identifier for your organization and allows your users to access the hosted components of the solution.

     IMPORTANT: Tenants can only be created after you’ve completed a Software Agreement and Online Service Agreement. Contact your Account Manager for more information.

   • Read the information on the myArcFM page to learn about the latest information for Supported Versions and Release Notes.

   • Install and enable the Editor XI Server Object Interrupter (SOI) and Fiber Manager XI Server Object Extension (SOE) in ArcGIS Server.

   • Use Solution Center for User Management, Mapping, and Workflows.

   • Publish the feature service from ArcGIS Pro.

   • Create the network domains in the Editor XI Solution Center plugin.

   • Define the connections and circuits of the feature service in the Fiber Manager XI Solution Center plugin.
