Using CableWeaver

As you can see on the sidebar, there are 3 stages involved:

1. Search for graphs
2. Select a graph
3. Inspect the graph

Searching for graphs

In the 1. Search for graphs section, enter the cable MRNs you're interested in. Simply put them in the text box, one MRN per line.

You can search for MRNs in any of the following fine establishments.

If you don't have any specific MRNs in mind, and just want to get the feel of the system, click on the example link and it would paste a few MRNs into the text box.

Selecting a graph

In the 2. Select a graph section, you'll see a menu of all clusters that contain any of the MRNs you've entered in your search.

Note:

• Not all MRNs have a cluster containing them. If you get a No graphs found message, try other MRNs. Note that searching for a large number of MRNs is not a costly operation, so you can start by entering any MRN that might be relevant to what you're looking for, and see which MRNs actually appear in CableWeaver's clusters.
• Graphs are represented by the MRNs they contain, and you may see more than one entry with the same "name", but they are different clusters that happen to contain the same MRNs from your search.
• Some clusters contain too many nodes to be useful (at least with CableWeaver), but in such cases you should also see "manageable" partial clusters that contain some of the MRNs you're looking for.
