ABSTRACT:
A telecommunications network manager includes a network scanner, a scanner interface unit, and intelligence activation units. The intelligence activation units are used with cable connection modules including insulation displacement contacts for connecting to cables. The intelligence activation units provide visual signals to a technician about which cable connection modules should be accessed during system set up or system maintenance.
