Physical Unit Name

 

 

This is the name of the physical unit the 3494 will communicate with for this

 

 

host, for example, VSE3174. The physical unit name must be either 8 or

 

 

fewer characters, or 8 or fewer characters followed by a period (.) and 8 or

 

 

fewer characters. This ®eld will only accept alpha-numeric characters and

 

 

the ª.º character. Blank spaces are not valid.
