This section describes how to modify splice locations and tray locations within a splice enclosure feature.

Swap a Tray’s Location Inside of a Splice Enclosure

  1. In an existing splice enclosure feature with allocated trays, open the splice enclosure with Connections Manual.
  2. Select the trays to be swapped by choosing 2 trays (Using the standard Windows Ctrl key to multi select).
  3. Right click on either of the selected enclosures and choose SWAP TRAYS.

  4. The trays and all of their connections have now been relocated.

Swap the Contents of Trays

  1. In an existing splice enclosure feature with allocated splices within trays, open the splice enclosure with Connections Manual.
  2. Select the trays where the contents are to be swapped by choosing 2 trays (Using the standard Windows Ctrl key to multi select).

  3. Right click on either of the selected enclosures and choose SWAP CONTENTS.
  4. The contents of the selected trays have now been swapped.
    Note: This command is only applicable if the trays to be swapped between contain the same amount of slots or more.

Swap Splice Locations on Trays Within a Splice Enclosure

  1. In an existing splice enclosure feature with allocated splices within trays, open the splice enclosure with Connections > Manual.
  2. Expand the trays where the splice contents are to be swapped.
  3. Choose the splices from each tray, or within a single tray, that are to be swapped.
    Note: A matching number of splices must be chosen for the SWAP command to work.
  4. Right click on either selected splice, or group of splices and choose SWAP CONNECTIONS.
  5. The chosen splice connections have now been moved to their new locations.
