Creating a cabinet

Choose Cabinet... from the Create menu to open the Create Cabinet dialog.

Enter the cabinet information and press OK. The following guidelines are recommended for creating a unique ID of one or two letters for the cabinet:

1. The ID is alphabetic to distinguish it from the panel number that follows.
2. If all cabinets are in the same building, use one letter for the ID.
3. If the cabinets are in different buildings, use two letters for the ID, with the first letter indicating the building.

You can suggest where HCM should draw the cabinet and its patchports in relation to other objects in the configuration diagram. Change the position of individual patchports using the Position Patchport dialog.
