Network & IT engine in Kaleidoscope Plan

What it does

Place switches, patch panels, racks, outlets and devices; map each outlet to its patch-panel port, switch port and VLAN; draw cable runs and rack elevations; then auto-generate switch, patch, rack and inventory reports.

Step-by-step guide

Capabilities

What you get

50+ device types

Network hardware, endpoints, power distribution and AV / comms — switches, panels, PCs, phones, cameras, PDUs, displays and more.

End-to-end port mapping

Map each outlet to its patch-panel port, switch port and VLAN, with devices plugged into outlets or straight into a switch.

Room-aware auto-labelling

Per-type prefixes and outlet names that pick up the room — a board-room outlet becomes BR-01.

Cable runs and rack elevations

Draw cable-run lines and lay out rack elevations by U position.

Built-in checks

Flags unpatched outlets, double-booked ports, over-full switches and missing VLANs before you sign off.

Reports — PDF and CSV

A multi-page PDF (inventory, per-room, per-switch, patch panel, outlet terminals) plus a CSV export for your asset system.

How it works

From plan to deliverable in five steps

  1. 1 Place switches, patch panels and racks.
  2. 2 Add wall outlets and devices.
  3. 3 Link ports and assign VLANs.
  4. 4 Draw cable runs and rack elevations.
  5. 5 Export the PDF reports and CSV.
