You will be taken to the Patch Panel Connectivity screen from the "Format Selection" page (non-Data Center Project)
or Port (Data Center Project).
Project and Room Grid: These fields function the same as on previous screens.
Cable Type: The choice of Copper or Fiber will determine which format of legend will be printed when you generate
labels. Fiber patch panel labels will contain a summary of all port information for the panel as entered and will print in
a format suitable for attaching to an identifier card for the rack, while copper will print a smaller format that can be
attached directly to the panel. If the you click on Generate Labels from this screen, the print process will cycle through
each combination of cable type and number of ports, presetting criteria on the format selection page to match the
current combination of the cycle. If in direct mode, this field will be disabled and set to that value selected on the
Format Selection screen.
Number of Ports: The dropdown contains a list of values associated with the selected cable type. If in direct mode,
this field will be disabled and set to that value selected on the Format Selection screen.
From Rack and Panel (and To): Both fields are required. The fields will be text boxes (non-Data Center Project) or
dropdowns (Data Center Project). If Data Center Project, the dropdowns will contain a list of all defined racks and
panels. The panel dropdown will contain only those panels defined for the selected rack. The panel dropdown will
only be enabled when a rack is selected. You will also be able to type in the values directly. Validation will be done
when you add the ports to the list to ensure the values entered exist in the list.
From Port Range and To (and To): You can enter the port range for the From rack and panel. For copper wire, you
should enter the ranges to match the grouping of ports on the panel. For example, a 24 port panel with groups of 6
ports would use 4 ranges: 01-06, 07-12, 13-18, and 19-24. This will produce the expected number of labels for
labeling the panel directly.
