Define the network site details
Review, update, or create your network site records in the Telecommunications Network Inventory application. These records enable you to view the location-specific attributes for each network site, including the network centers, buildings, floors, and rooms where your equipment is located.

Your network sites are those physical locations where you keep your network equipment. Network site records enable you to view all your equipment at a specific location. You can filter the locations by their assigned type, role, and function categories. To learn more, see Viewing your network inventory configuration items with CMDB or Service Graph Workspace.
When you create a network site record, it creates a corresponding configuration item (CI) record in the Network Site [cmdb_ci_ni_site] table. To learn more, see or Service Graph Workspace.
The Telecommunications Network Inventory application stores the physical network connections, the logical network connections, and the resources that contain the overall network and the services provisioned on the network. The TNI data model adheres to a hierarchical structure. The foundation is the Network Site (referred to here as a network site).
The Network Site class represents the physical locations on the network where the equipment and resources are stored and maintained, and where the network connections originate and terminate. The network site has a reference to a physical location and derives the key attributes like the address, latitude, and longitude from it.
Although the network sites and locations are similar, their differences are important within the context of the TNI data model. A network site is a configuration item (CI) in TNI. It has an operational status, which is derived from the equipment and connections within the network site. As a CI, a network site can also be mapped as an inherent aspect of your service topology. The network site and location complement one another, which provides more value to your organization.
You can relate your physical locations to your network sites in TNI so that you can visualize these network sites on a map. Your organization can maximize the value of the network site and all the underlying inventory components that reside at the site. With the TNI data model, you can identify incidents, correlate events, and analyze the root cause of your network faults or outages.
