This procedure explains how to add a single terminal to an existing terminal strip.
-
In the Domain Explorer or Reference Explorer, select a terminal strip to which you want to add a terminal.
-
Right-click the selected terminal strip and then on the shortcut menu, select New > Terminal.
-
On the General tab of the Terminal Properties dialog, accept or select the required terminal orientation.
-
Enter the terminal number or numbers in the Left terminal or Right terminal fields.
Your selection of the terminal orientation determines whether the Left terminal or Right terminal fields are available. If you select Left and right-oriented, the software lets you enter a value for both left and right terminals. If you select
Regular, the software lets enter the terminal number under Terminal.
-
Under Sequence, type a unique terminal sequence number.
The sequence number designates the physical position of the terminal on the terminal
strip. The software assigns a sequence number automatically when you add a new terminal
to a terminal strip. If you change the sequence number of a terminal, be sure to change
the sequence numbers of the other terminals on that terminal strip to avoid duplicate
values, which may interfere with the termination process.
-
Select a terminal color as needed.

lists.

In the Note text box, type, if required, type a brief note or a remark about this terminal.
