Attributes
| Name | Type | Mult. | Description | Owning Classifier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| available | Boolean | 0..1 | Defines whether the cavity is available for contacting. If the cavity is not available, it means that it is completely closed. |
Cavity |
| cavityNumber | String | 0..1 | Provides an identifier for the cavity. The cavity number needs to be unique within a Slot. |
Cavity |
| hasIntegratedTerminal | Boolean | 0..1 | Defines whether the cavity has an integrated terminal (for example an IDC cavity) or if an additional terminal is required. If this attribute is "true", the cavity can reference a TerminalSpecification as integratedTerminalSpecification in order to specify the integrated terminal. |
