positions of the entire installation and updates the OSD so that

 

the OSD Station information corresponds to the new physical

 

layout.

 

Note: Only the Station Numbers get updated. Except for the Port

 

Names, all Administrator settings (such as Set Accessible Ports,

 

Set Quick View Ports, etc.), for all of the computers affected by

 

the change, have to be manually redone.
