Hardware Capex

The Hardware Capex report window displays the hardware costs associated with the network grouped by node. A similar cost report grouped by parts is also available, as is explained below. To expand or collapse a group in the Hardware Capex report, click on the small icon to the left of the node name. To expand or collapse all groups in the Hardware Capex report, simply right click anywhere in the report and select Expand All or Collapse All. The saved report filename starts with HW_CAPEX_REPORT.

The information contained in the Categorized by Parts sub-report is related to that of the default Hardware Capex report. However, the grouping of the costs is different, as this report lists costs based on the component type rather than for each node. The saved report’s filename starts with HW_PARTS_REPORT.
