Altering Ports

When a device is created, ports are copied from the definition to separated records that truly belong to the device, not the definition. Most of the time you will use those port unchanged. Some other times, however, you may need to alter some ports. For example, some Tandberg IRDs have configurable outputs that can be either ASI or SDI, and most Device Managers have configurable serial ports that can be either RS232 or RS422.

To change a port, click the corresponding "Label" column. You will be taken to a "Edit Port" screen where you can make any change you want.

There is a restriction: you cannot alter the port direction (input/output) if it has a wire connected to it. If you are in this situation, simply disconnect it momentarily, change the port direction and then connect the wire again.

You can also Delete a port by clicking the [Delete] button in "Edit Port" view or add other ports is needed.

Changes you make in device ports won't affect those in its definition.
