Group keypads on a link
Keypads join LINK groups at their rack or panel; see a group's cables, set its limit and spare, and move keypads between groups.
Where to find it: the Cabling tab › Groups › its group, such as LINK-1
Every keypad joins a Cable group at its rack or panel when you place it, paste it or send it to another rack or panel: the newest group there with room, else a new one. Fifteen keypads fill LINK-1; the sixteenth starts LINK-2. A dimmer, switch, keypad dimmer or fan control set to Wired joins the link as a keypad does; see place a keypad, dimmer or switch.
- In the Cabling tab, Groups lists every group under its rack or panel, such as LINK-1 with "Keypads · 8 of 15". Point at one to outline its keypads; click it to open it in place.
- The group lists its cables: the run to the rack or panel, the spare — leave it disconnected and insulated — and one between its members. It has no order: the installer decides that on site.
- Change its cable, its Limit — your company's rule, its Max length, or switch A spare run to the rack or panel off. Select members selects its keypads on the drawing.
- Past its limit the group turns red. New group moves the keypads past the limit to new groups of up to the limit each — 40 keypads on a limit of 15 make three groups; each needs another link at the rack or panel.
In a keypad's Properties › Cabling, its Group row's ⋯ lists each other link to move to, such as "Move to LINK-2", and New group, which starts a group of its own. Select several keypads to move them together. Each change is one undo step.
Pasted keypads join the group beside them if it has room. A duplicated sheet's keypads get a new group of their own.
