Assigning server names

Use the Names dialog box ("Accessing the Names dialog box" on page 35) to identify individual servers or serial devices by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order, and the names are stored in the Interface Adapter. If you move the Interface Adapter or server to another switch port, the HP KVM Server Console Switch G2 recognizes the names and configurations.
