Abstract: Mapping of ports to other network components is generated by physically bending a fiber optic cable and then determining which optical network terminals experience a signal power loss (or receive attenuated signals) based on the bending. The physical bending can be done using a bending tool and the optical network terminals that experience the signal power loss can be identified using a back-end database operation. Generally, the correspondence between the physical bending and the power loss at the downstream components and or upstream components of the network is used to create the mapping of the ports at the splitter level.

Abstract: A printing system uses different color quality values to set quality levels for color printing operations. When creating a calibration for a paper, a color quality attribute is defined that corresponds with the level of color printing quality for the calibration. The resulting calibration is stored with the color quality attribute. The calibration is used to create an ICC profile that is used in color printing operations for the paper. Print jobs may indicate the color quality attribute for the paper for color printing such that the calibration and ICC profile are selected.
