AdderView MATRIX MP Installation and Use Page 28
MATRIXs 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 AdderView MATRIX MP supports up to 512 computer names.
To create computer names:
Ensure that you are logged on as the ADMIN user.
From the main on-screen menu press F1 for MORE MENUS.
Select EDIT COMPUTER LIST from the menu.
Press INSERT to add a new computer name.
Type in the name of the computer and press RETURN or ENTER.
Type in the port number for this computer and press RETURN or ENTER.
Define the users that you want user to have access to this computer using the
SPACE BAR and function keys as directed on the menu. The starred users will
have access to this computer. Don't worry if all the users have not yet been
defined. You can allocate computers to users when you add the users later.
Press RETURN or ENTER to create the new computer name.
When you are adding computers it is advisable to setup just one name for any
particular port. Avoid creating two names for the same port as this can lead to
confusion. Also, if you are using ports to cascade to other AdderViews, avoid setting
up unique names for individual ports that form part of a group of ports that are being
used to cascade. For example, if you are using group 41 (ports 1,2,3 and 4) to
cascade to another AdderView then avoid setting up individual names for these
ports.
Follow a similar process to edit computer names:
In the EDIT COMPUTER LIST use the menu bar to select the computer that you
want to edit. Press ENTER or RETURN to edit the computer's name or change the
users who you want to have access to this computer. Press RETURN or ENTER if
you want to keep the existing entries.
