Assigning Server or Serial Device Names
Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers or serial devices by
name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port
order. You can toggle between displaying the name or the EID number of each
AVRIQ. Names are stored in the AVRIQ, so even if you move the module/
server/serial device to another ARI port, the name and configuration will be
recognized by the appliance.
NOTE: If a server or serial device is turned off, its respective AVRIQ will not appear in the
Names list.
