Defining switch configuration data

After defining the switch, you can define the switch configuration, that is the "inside" of the switch.

  1. On the Switch List, select the switch and the Work with switch configurations action from the context menu (or action code  s ). HCD displays the Switch Configuration List containing all currently defined configurations for that particular switch.

    The Default connection field sets the default connection for all ports, either allowed or prohibited. Individual port connections can be reset on the Port Matrix panel described in the next step.

  3. On the Switch Configuration List, select the switch configuration and the Work with port matrix action from the context menu (or action code  s ). HCD displays the Port Matrix panel showing all ports currently installed on the switch.
