In addition to changing server port names, users may also configure other parameters from the Port Setup menu. Users may enable or disable auto scan for each port, and may prevent the front panel LCD display from showing error messages for inactive server ports.

3.5.1 Naming Server Ports

Users may name server ports to allow a more intuitive use of the ServerSwitch 8200. Server port names replace the simple default port numbers wherever the server port is identified. Server port names are especially useful when using the Jump to port… function from the main menu. However, users should be careful when using server port names with this function, as server port names can be set to be case-sensitive (see section 3.4, System Setup for more information).

Users may name server ports by first selecting System setup… from the main on- screen menu. To access the server port setup, which includes the option to change port names, select Port setup… from the menu that appears.
