EDIT PORT

To help remember which computer is attached to a particular port,

NAMES

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

 

to create, modify, or delete port names. To Edit a port name:

 

1. Click the port you want, or use the Navigation Keys to move the

 

highlight bar to it, then press [Enter].

 

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

 

mum number of characters allowed for the Port Name is 12. Legal

 

characters include:

 

Š All alpha characters: A–Z*

 

Š All numeric characters: 0–9

 

Š + - / : . and Space

 

*Case does not matter; the 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.

 

 

RESTORE

This function is used to undo all changes and return the setup to the

DEFAULT

original factory default settings (see OSD Factory Default Settings,

VALUES

page 60) – except for the Names settings that were assigned to the

 

Ports, which are saved.

 

 

CLEAR THE

This function is similar to Restore Default Values. The difference is that

NAME LIST

it also clears the Names settings along with undoing all changes and

 

returning the setup to the original factory default settings.

Choices are Y (for Yes), or N (for No). When activated, the beeper

BEEPER

sounds whenever a Port is changed, when activating the Auto Scan

 

function (see F7 SCAN, page 34), or an invalid entry is made on an

 

OSD menu. The default is Y (activated).
