3.5 Creating and editing computer names

Computer names provide a very convenient way of selecting and identifying computers that are attached to the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. You can select computers by port number (see sections 4.8 and 4.16) but when you have several computers it becomes hard to remember which computer is attached to which port. By defining descriptive computer names you can select the required computer from an on-screen menu without having to remember which physical port the computer is connected to. For each computer name that you define you can grant or deny access to any of the defined users.

Each computer name that you define will have an associated port number. This is the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO port that the computer is attached to. If all of your computers are connected to a single LINDY Dual/Quad PRO then all the port numbers will be two characters long (for example: 01, 02, 03, 16 etc.). If you are cascading LINDY Dual/Quad PRO then the port numbers will be four, six or eight characters long depending upon whether you have two, three or four levels of cascade (see figure 7). See the end of this section and section 4.10 for an explanation of how the port numbers are constructed. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO supports up to 512 computer names.
