Interconnecting ports in the Inspector window
To interconnect ports, follow these steps:
1.
In the device or network view, select the PROFINET device or PROFINET interface.
2. In the Inspector window, navigate to the port property "Port interconnection".
When the PROFINET interface is selected, you can find this setting in the Inspector window
as follows: "Properties > General > Advanced Options > Port [...] > Port Interconnection."
3. In the "Local port" section, you can find the settings at the local port. In the case of fiber-
optic cable you can, for example, set the cable names here.
In the "Partner port" area, select the drop-down list for "Partner port" in order to display
the available partner ports and make a selection.
