The difference lies in the object which is to be placed by the used command (ODF, OTB, Patch Panel, Device, Router, IPAN or ONT).

From the main menu run Fiber Optics > FO Devices > ODF command.

The cursor is displayed in a form of plus sign ("+") with a message* next to it instructing us to show the location or manually enter the coordinates where we want to place the ODF (Figure 1).
