Serial Port Administration Creating a descriptive serial port name
The Set Port Name command assigns a descriptive name to a serial port. You may
use this name in commands that require a port name as an alternative to using the
port’s absolute name.
To create a port name:
1. At the command prompt, type set port name, followed by the absolute outlet
name and a descriptive name of up to 24 alphanumeric and other typeable
characters (ASCII 33 to 126 decimal - spaces are not allowed). Port names are
not case sensitive.
2. Press Enter.
Note: Port names ‘1’ thru ‘64’ and ‘CONSOLE’ are reserved system names
and may not be used.
Example
The following command adds the descriptive name Rack1 to Modem port:
SLP: set port name modem Rack1<Enter>
