Assigning Server Names

Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers or servers connected to cascade switch channels by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. You can toggle between displaying the name or the EID number of each SIP. Names are stored in the SIP, so even if you move the cable/server to another Analog Rack Interface (ARI) port, the name, and configuration will be recognized by the 2161DS Console Switch.

NOTE: If a server is powered down, its respective SIP will not appear in the Names list.

NOTE: If you move a SIP from one server to another, you must assign the new server name to the SIP. For information, see Figure 3-18.

To access the Names dialog box:

1Press <Print Screen>. The Main dialog box will appear.

2Click Setup - Names. The Names dialog box appears.

NOTE: If new SIPs are discovered by the 2161DS Console Switch, the on-screen list will be automatically updated. The mouse cursor will change into an hourglass during the update. No mouse or keyboard input will be accepted until the list update is complete.
