Select a SysName - The SysName from which we will select ports.

I am just changing a SysName (all existing ports stay the same) - Use this if you have already assigned a SysName to a terminal but you want to switch with another SysName.

Remember this equipment on next assignment - Persist the selected SysName on next Terminal Assignment.

Outputs Track Inputs (if matching) - Select a matching record from the Outputs list if the string matches the record in the Inputs Name field. The Names must match exactly.
