You will need to consult the manufacturer's documentation (or the device itself) to know exactly what
connectors exist on each device.
Sticking with the DVD Player example, let's assume that you have added a DVD Player with the
following physical connectors (FIG. 56):
Use the Connection Manager dialog to define each of these connectors in the Connection Manager
dialog (FIG. 57):
Once each connector has been added in the Connection Manager dialog, the DVD Player's Device
Element in the System diagram will indicate these connectors, as shown below (FIG. 58):
Once these connections are available in the Device Element, they can be connected to other devices in
the diagram just like any other (drag-and-drop to draw a connection line between each input/output node
to a compatible node on the Central Controller or another device in the system).
