every port can be given a name. This function allows the

To Edit a port name:

press [Enter].

 

2. Key in the new Port Name, or modify/delete the old one. The

 

maximum number of characters allowed for the Port Name is

Š All numeric characters: 0–9

 

Š + - / : . and Space

 

Case does not matter; OSD displays the Port Name in all

 

capitals no matter how they were keyed in.

 

3. When you have finished editing, press [Enter] to have the

 

change take effect. To abort the change, press [Esc].
