Assigning target device names

Use the Names window to identify individual target devices by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. Names are stored in the KVM server module, so even if you move the cable or target device to another target device interface port, the name and configuration are recognized by the KVM switch. If a target device is turned off, you cannot modify the name of the KVM server module.

To access the Names window:

1.Press Print Screen to start the OSD. The Main window opens.

2.Click Setup — Names. The Names window opens.

If new KVM server modules are discovered by the KVM 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.

To assign names to target devices:

1.In the Names window, select a target device name or port number and click Modify. The Name Modify window opens.

2.Type a name in the New Name field. Names of target devices can be up to 15 characters long. Valid characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, space and hyphen.
