10.7 Naming Stations

To help distinguish one KVM switch from another in cascaded installations, Super Administrators and Administrators can assign unique names to each cascaded B060-032-8 KVM switch. Daisy-Chained B060-032 and B060-016-2 cannot have their Station Names changed; cascaded B007-008 KVM switches names are changed in the same way as ordinary ports. Note: Assigning a name to a station makes it possible to find it later using the search function.

To assign a station name to the B060-032-8:

Click on the target station in the tree view to select it.

From the Administration menu, choose Station Management. The Station Management Web Page appears (Figure 7).

Type a name in the Station Name field. Station names may be up to 15 characters long. Legal characters include: a–z, A–Z, 0–9, space, and hyphen. Enter a unique name for the station in the KVM installation.

Click Save.
