Local Port Operation

Assigning Server Names

Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order, and the names are stored in the Interface Adapter. If you move the Interface Adapter or server to another switch port, the IP Console Switch recognizes the names and configurations.

NOTE: If a server is powered off, its respective Interface Adapter is not displayed in the Names list.

Accessing the Names Dialog Box

To access the Names dialog box:

1.Press the Print Scrn key. The Main dialog box is displayed.

2.Click Setup, Names. The Names dialog box is displayed.

NOTE: If the server list has changed since it was last displayed, the mouse cursor turns into an hourglass as the list automatically updates. No mouse or keyboard input is accepted until the list update is complete.
