position

On telecommunication devices that permit multiple connections (such as punch blocks), the actual items to which devices connect. Positions are stored in the Down Position and Up Position fields of the Telecom domain’s Connections table. Since positions are not stored in individual records, you can create and delete them as needed while modeling your telecom system with the Connect dialog box.

You should use positions to model a device’s terminations when all you need to track by way of administrative information is the existence of the termination and its number. Compare this to tracking terminations as ports, for which you can track a port’s standard, network segment, network address, current use, and connector type.
