Function

 

 

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

 

maximum number of characters allowed for the Port Name is

 

15. 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

DEFAULT

the original factory default settings (see OSD Factory Default

VALUES

Settings, page 50) - 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

NAME LIST

that it also clears the Names settings along with undoing all

 

changes and returning the setup to the original factory default

 

settings.

 

 

ACTIVATE

Choices are:

BEEPER

Y (for ON), or

 

 

N (for OFF).

 

When activated, the beeper sounds whenever a Port is changed;

 

when activating the Auto Scan function (see F7 SCAN, p. 34); or

 

an invalid entry is made on an OSD menu. The default is Y

 

(activated).
