# Features

For details on the installation and set-up of the Comsof Fiber Integration Module, refer to the Comsof Fiber Integration Installation and Configuration Guide in the Comsof Fiber Integration Module Documentation. For details of the functionality, refer to the Comsof Fiber Integration User Guide.

The following changes have been made in the Comsof Integration Module:

## Connectivity Engine

The Connectivity Engine is a new tool incorporated in Comsof Fiber Integration Module, which allows users to complete or enhance low-level fiber connectivity of a design. It provides the following features :

- The transformation engine that actually performs the connectivity enhancements. The way it has been implemented also provides a framework for the IQGeo Delivery staff to easily extend its functionality with customizations.

- A setting in the Advanced Settings of the Configuration module that allows configuring different transformer settings in a uniform and structured way using JSON.

- A button in the application to run the Connectivity Engine to have the connectivity of the opened design adjusted based on the selected setting.

- A default configuration setting, which can be used as an example for configuring other connectivity options

  This default setting models, on the one hand, connectivity at the level of a type of structure, such as a cabinet, according to the typical European architecture, using patch panels, splice trays and cassettes and with fiber connections realized through the combined use of splitters, straight-through junctions and/or spare fibers.

  On the other hand, it also models connectivity through pre-connectorized devices, such as the MPTs in a Comsof Fiber design, in accordance with the standardized US architecture.

With this version of the Connectivity Engine it is not possible to roll back the results.

## Comsof Fiber features

The Comsof Fiber Integration Module includes Comsof Fiber features that support a smooth workflow of Network Manager Telecom users who are working on brownfield network design. A new feature added with this release is the ability of Comsof Fiber to create new manholes on existing conduits loaded in the design from Network Manager Telecom.

## General Usability Improvements

The following usability improvements have been implemented:

- Cable clusters are now visible in the design and can be adjusted.

- The visualization of the Comsof workspace has been made clearer.

## Authentication on Comsof Cloud and Licence Servers

To ensure security, authentication is required on both the Cloud and the Licence server. To use Single-Sign-On, IQGeo IT staff needs to set the correct permissions for all users (IQGeo and external alike) who want to use the Comsof Fiber Integration Module v2.1. A request for this should be filed with IT via an IQGeo internal service ticket. Once that has been handled, users are able to log into Comsof Fiber Integration Module via SSO.

## Bug fixes

Deleting a design could result in partial removal in some situations.
