Power-Only Ports
You can place nodes in your design that contain one or two power-only ports, and power supplies can be connected to these ports. No RF legs can be connected to power-only ports.
The maximum number of power-only ports on a node is maintained by your administrator in DHFC Catalog.
The following is an example of a node with one power-only port and how this is displayed in the HUD:
In the map the node does not look much different from a regular, two-port node without power-only ports.
When you want to insert a power supply on the node, the power-only port becomes available to select but does not have a port label.
-
Only power can be connected to the power-only port.
-
The Arrange action (on the Context Wheel) can only be used to arrange components to non-power-only ports (i.e., powered ports).
-
When a node specification is swapped to a node that includes a power-only port, power is by default set to the power-only port.
-
The node name is maintained when swapping to a node with power-only ports.
