3.9.1Assigning target device names

Use the Names window to identify individual target devices by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. Names are stored in the KVM- IA, so even if you move the cable or target device to another ARI port, the name and configuration are recognized by the KVM s3-1621 and KVM s3-1641 appliances. If a target device is turned off, you cannot modify the name of the KVM-IA.

Press Print Screen to start the OSCAR interface. The Main window opens.

Click Setup - Names. The Names window opens.
