Find
 Command entry:  AETSE

Make your selection on the Terminal Strip Selection dialog box and click Edit. On the Terminal Strip, Catalog Code Assignment, or Cable Information tab, select a terminal from the list. In the Spare section, click Insert Spare Terminal.

Number

Defines the starting terminal number for inserting spares. The default value is “SPARE.” Select Increment if you want to increment the terminal ID when the spare terminal is inserted. If the quantity is set to less than 2, you cannot increment the ID.

If you are inserting multi-level terminals as defined by the catalog assignment, each level of a terminal receives the same number assignment if you select Increment. For example, if you insert 3 spare terminals and they are defined as three level terminals, all three levels on terminal 1 are designated as 1, 2 as 2, and 3 as 3. To modify them, edit the spare terminal or use the Renumber Terminals tool to get the numbering format you want.

Quantity

Specifies a numeric value for the number of spare terminals to insert. The default value is 1. Use < or > to increment the value by a single step.

Manufacturer

Lists the manufacturer number for the spare terminal. Enter a value or select one from the Catalog lookup.

Catalog

Lists the catalog number for the spare terminal. Enter a value or select one from the Catalog lookup.

Assembly

Lists the assembly code for the spare terminal. The Assembly code is used to link multiple part numbers together.

Catalog Lookup

Opens the catalog database of the spare terminal from which you can manually enter or select the Manufacturer or Catalog values. Search the database for a specific catalog item to assign to the selected spare terminal.

Insert Above/Insert Below

Once you define the starting number and the number of spare terminals to insert, click Insert Above to insert the defined spare terminals above the selected terminal in the grid, or Insert Below to insert the spares below the selected terminal.
