3.2.2.1 Add Connection

Please note that this feature is not supported by the public release version of the simulator. You can connect a device to another device by holding Shift, left-click, and drag from one device to the other. You will draw a line from the first device to the second. Release the mouse button to create the connection. You can also right-click one device, select "Add Connection", and then click on the device to connect to. Then click Finish. The connection enables simulator-level message exchanges between the connected devices. All connections enable bidirectional message transfers.

Some devices contain more than one interface to which a connection can be made. A multi-interface device routes messages out different interfaces, based on the type of message being sent. When you make a connection with a multi-interface device, an interface list dialog appears which enables you to select the appropriate interface. You must choose an interface on either device, even if one or both of the devices has only one interface type.

Generally, you shouldn't connect different types of interfaces. For example, interface Type A of Device 1 should only be connected to interface Type A of Device 2.
