Working with Ports

Ports are selectable and serve as access points for other displays and menus. You 
select ports to display information about them in their respective data windows or to 
modify them. Context-sensitive popup menus and properties windows are accessible 
through the port icons.

Selecting Ports

Selected ports in the faceplate display are outlined in light-blue. 

When using the Shift key to select a range of ports, the first port you click in 

the range is the "anchor" selection. Subsequent ranges are based on this anchor 
selection. For example, after clicking port 4 and port 9 respectively, port 4 becomes 
the anchor selection. The next range includes all ports between port 4 and the next 
port you select. 

You can select ports the following ways. 

■

To select a port, click the port.

■

To un-select a port, click outside that port.

■

To select all ports, right-click on the faceplate image and select Select All Ports 
from the popup menu.

■

To select a range of consecutive ports, click a port, press the Shift key and click 
another port. The application selects both end ports and all ports in between 
the end ports.

■

To select several non-consecutive ports, press the Control key while clicking 
each port.

■

To un-select ports in a group of selected ports, press the Control key while 
clicking each port.
