Assigning Server Names

Use the Names dialog box ("Accessing the Names Dialog Box" on page 50) 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 ("Installing the Interface Adapter" on page 21). If you move the Interface Adapter or server to another switch port, the HP KVM Server Console Switch recognizes the names and configurations.

Accessing the Names Dialog Box

From the Main dialog box ("Accessing the Main Dialog Box" on page 41), click Setup>Names. The Names dialog box is displayed.
