ASSIGNING UNIQUE NAMES TO COMPUTERS
You may find it easier to identify the computers in a system by
name rather than by port number. For example, in a network
environment, you can assign the same names to each computer
as those assigned by the network. To list the computers by name
in OSCAR menus, see Changing Menu Attributes.
Note
Before you can assign names to computers attached to a secondary
switch, you must first associate the secondary device with a port. See
the section Assigning Specific Device Types.
To assign unique names to computers:
1
In the Advanced Menus screen, highlight the Setup menu.
2 Highlight Names and press ENTER; the Port Name Setup
screen appears.
3 Using the up and down arrow keys, select the port number
for which you want to enter or change a computer name.
4 Type a name for the computer and press ENTER. Computer
names may be up to 12 characters long, including only A-Z,
0-9, the space and the dash character. Lowercase letters are
converted to uppercase. Press BACKSPACE to delete an
incorrect entry.
