Standards describe features of a port or line. Pathfinder provides a choice of standard standards like:
100 MBit/s
1000 MBit/s
PoE
230 V etc.
When allocating standards, Pathfinder will assess the validity of the connections made. This means that connected ports need to have the same standards. The same applies for the connecting cable.
A list of all existing standards preloaded in the local catalog is available here. Standards not currently used in any component definition will appear in italics.
