A "Connection Type" defines the category of the connection between the devices, for example, Microwave in the RF category or Wi-Fi in the network data category.
By default, we provide the most commonly used connection types.
To add a new connection type:
1/ Go to "Settings > Drawings > Connection Types."
2/ Click "New connection type" in the top-right corner.
3/ In the modal, do the following:
a/ Add a name for the connection type.
b/ Select a category.
c/ If needed, you can add fields to display the specifications of the connection type. To do this, in the "Select field" dropdown menu, select a field and click "Add Field."
In the connection diagram, you can enter the specifications in the relevant fields.
For example, fields to display the "Version," "Role," and "Power Support" specifications for a USB connection type.
4/ Click "Save."
The new connection type will be added to the list of connection types.
In the following screenshot, we added a new connection type called "Microwave," with a few required connection fields.
You can change the category, add, or remove connection fields for a connection type as needed.
You can search for a specific connection type and sort the list of connection types.
