USING OSCAR

ASSIGNING UNIQUE NAMES TO COMPUTERS

You may find it easier to identify the computers in a system by

name rather than by port number. For example, in a network

environment, you can assign the same names to each computer

as those assigned by the network. To list the computers by name

in OSCAR menus, see Changing Menu Attributes.

Note

Before you can assign names to computers attached to a secondary

switch, you must first associate the secondary device with a port. See

the section Assigning Specific Device Types.

To assign unique names to computers:

1In the Advanced Menus screen, highlight the Setup menu.

2Highlight Names and press ENTER; the Port Name Setup

screen appears.

3Using the up and down arrow keys, select the port number

for which you want to enter or change a computer name.

4Type a name for the computer and press ENTER. Computer

names may be up to 12 characters long, including only A-Z,

0-9, the space and the dash character. Lowercase letters are

converted to uppercase. Press BACKSPACE to delete an

incorrect entry.
