Appliance serial ports
If the target device for the serial port in the DSView 3 software database has a single
appliance connection, the target device name will be pushed to the appliance. If the
target device for the serial port in the DSView 3 software database has multiple
appliance connections, the target device name will be pushed to the appliance for each
appliance connection (for connection type(s) enabled in the Automatic Name Push
Properties window).
Power devices
The power device name in the DSView 3 software database will be pushed to the
appliance.
Power device sockets
If the target device for the power device socket in the DSView 3 software database has
a single appliance connection, the target device name will be pushed to the appliance.
If the target device for the power device socket in the DSView 3 software database has
multiple appliance connections, the target device name will be pushed to each
appliance for each appliance connection (for connection type(s) enabled in the
Automatic Name Push Properties window).
Target devices
If the target device in the DSView 3 software database has a single appliance
connection, the target device name will be pushed to the appliance. If the target device
in the DSView 3 software database has multiple appliance connections, the target
device name will be pushed to the appliance for each appliance connection (for
connection type(s) enabled in the Automatic Name Push Properties window).
Cascade switches
If the cascade switch in the DSView 3 software database has a single appliance
connection, the name will be pulled from the appliance to update the cascade switch
name in the DSView 3 software database. If the cascade switch in the DSView 3
software database has multiple appliance connections to the same appliance (a
multiuser cascade switch), the cascade switch name will be pulled from the appliance
connection with the lowest port number to update the cascade switch in the DSView 3
software database. (Multiuser cascade switches are treated as separate cascade
switches by the appliance.)
To enable or disable automatic name push:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click Global Properties in the top navigation bar.
3. Click Units - Synchronization in the side navigation bar, then click Auto Name Push.
