You can also open this form through the telecom premises’ list of **Devices** or through the list of **Telecom premises of the circuit section** by clicking the right mouse button and selecting it in the displayed menu. The **Cross-section ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/keynet-tools-image-gm8oya8l.png)**form displays the connections between the connectors in the selected telecom premises and device and information on the related circuits. This form is also used for reserving a connector or sub-circuit for a circuit, for switching pairs, and for releasing a reservation. ## Cross-section form The **C****ross-section** ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/keynet-tools-image-gm8oya8l.png) form displays information on the selected telecom premises, such as **identifier**, **name**, **type**, **usage state**, **address**, **ownership**, and the **devices on the telecom premises**. The connectors and related connections of an activated device are listed in a separate section on the form. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1706179773139.png) ### Search functions on the Cross-section form There are several options for opening telecom premises on a form, such as using its **identifier**, using the **Pick from map**![pick](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/keynet--tykalut-image-474jjzas.png)tool, or clicking **Pick from telecom premises**![application_get](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/keynet--tykalut-image-tshrhqqi.png)form. The available search criteria include all the fields of the telecom premises form, and search criteria can be entered in full or partially with % as the wildcard character. The visibility of devices and cables in the **Devices / Cables** grid can be determined before a search by using the **Show devices**![terminal](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/keynet--tykalut-image-hyrn5u71.png)and **Show cables****![](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/image-1702994532814.png)**buttons in the upper right corner of the grid.

The column named **Free** indicates how many connectors in the device in question are available. The **OE** telecom premises column displays the telecom premises that the device in question can access. You can also use the **Search** functionality to look devices and cables related to the telecom premises. The corresponding text written in the field is highlighted on the list below. Turning to next page of the form resets the **Search** functionality. - Turning on **Case sensitive** activates a search that have strict checking of lower and upper cases. For example, if you search the word "in use" the system will only search for that desired word and will exclude words like "In use" from the search because it has an upper case letter. - The **Regular expression** allows you to search for specific patterns, as opposed to certain terms and phrases. ### Devices / Cable filtering In the top-right corner of the **Devices** section, click **Device/Cable** filter![2017-03-22 09_26_09-KeyCom v2](https://cdn.document360.io/672fb328-110d-4b2d-9d5f-f1e71883bb64/Images/Documentation/keynet-tools-image-pbp6c23y.png) .
