Adding devices to a spur
SB can insert new devices into a job on the trunk or on a spur. When devices are connected to a spur, they are displayed in the System View under a trunk gateway (EG or DDNG485).
There are two ways to add devices to a spur:
-
From System View
-
From Building View
-
Select the job name in the Device tree
-
Click
Insert Device from List or
Insert Devices from Network and insert an EG into the job.
-
Select the required EG.
-
Click
Insert Device from List or
Insert Devices from Network to insert devices into the job. The devices are added to the spur.

-
Right-click a floor plan in Building view and select
Show Floor Plan.
-
Click
Add Device to Palette and add the
EG to the Device Palette.
-
Click the
EG icon in the Device Palette, then click on the floor plan (or drag the EG from the Device tree onto the floor plan).
-
In the Device tree, right-click the EG and select
Set Default Bridge Device.
-
Place other devices onto the floor plan from the Device Palette. The devices are added to the spur.

If there is only one trunk gateway on a floor plan, all devices placed onto the floor plan are automatically added to this spur. |
