FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – SYMBOLS (Aperture, Avocent® Data Center Planner and the Trellis™ platform)

Q. What is the link to the Symbol Portal?

A.  http://symbolsorder.vertivco.com

Q. How do I obtain credentials to the portal?

A. A Customer Account form (see attachment) will need to be filled out and sent to support.avocent@vertivco.com.

Q. Can we use one generic log-in for multiple Users?

A. It is recommended that all Users have their own log-in credentials to the portal for security reasons and best portal performance.

Q. How do I report an issue with a symbol that was created for me?

A. Symbols not created correctly specifically for a User, should be reported to support.avocent@vertivco.com. The manufacturer, model, model qualifier and ticket number should be provided to the support technician along with a brief description of the error.

Q. Why is the symbol with the element library sometimes not delivered at the same time with the initial symbol?

A. The element processing for creating an element library takes a longer time to create and some Users would like to add their symbol to their project instead of waiting for the element library to be completed.  It is recommended that if you are pending an element library that you not populate the symbol in your Trellis project.

Q. How do I request an element library for an existing symbol?

A. Provide the Manufacturer, Model and Model Qualifier name (in the comments section) and choose “Yes” in the Monitoring field.  This will route the request directly to the appropriate team to create an Element Library.

Q. How do I change my Trellis Platform default when I upgrade to a new version?

A. In the Request Form, under “This Request (optional)” you can choose your new Trellis™ Platform and then Click on the “Set As Default Version” button.  The next time you log into your account the new platform version will be your default.

Helpful Hint:
When searching the library for an existing symbol, do not provide detailed manufacturer or model names. For example Vertiv, don’t look for The Vertiv Corporation.  For a model UMG 2000, list UMG in the Model search field.  You will have a greater return but chances are you will find what you are looking for. Adding or not including a space, dash, etc., could cause an existing symbol to not appear in your search.
