Select Cable Ends

To define an end (from or to / source or destination) for a cable, in the Cable Detail window, click on the button in the From or To field.

Or, in the Cable Schedule grid, click on the buttons that are displayed when the mouse is hovered over the From or To cells, and select the Change ‘From/To’ Equipment option from the Options window that is then displayed.

The Select Equipment window is then displayed:

To select an equipment tag, double-click on the required tag, or click on it and then click Select. The window is then closed and the number of the specified equipment is displayed in the cell.

Note:
The maximum number of cables that may be connected to an equipment item (or equipment catalogue item) may (optionally) be specified on the More Information window accessed from the Equipment Layout window. If the user attempts to connect a cable when the maximum number of cables has already been connected to an equipment item, a message is displayed to inform the user of this. For example:

To create a new equipment tag, select New. The Equipment Information window is then displayed. Create the new equipment as described in Create New Equipment. The new equipment is then added to the list in the Select Equipment window.

To exit the window without selecting destination equipment, or to de-select destination equipment previously selected so that the other end of the cable is no longer connected, click Not Connected.
