Assigning Server Names
Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers by name rather than by port
number. The Names list is always sorted by port order, and the names are stored in
the Interface Adapter. If you move the Interface Adapter or server to another switch
port, the IP Console Switch recognizes the names and configurations.
NOTE: If a server is powered off, its respective Interface Adapter is not displayed in the
Names list.
Accessing the Names Dialog Box
To access the Names dialog box:
1. Press the Print Scrn key. The Main dialog box is displayed.
2. Click Setup, Names. The Names dialog box is displayed.
NOTE: If the server list has changed since it was last displayed, the mouse cursor turns
into an hourglass as the list automatically updates. No mouse or keyboard input is
accepted until the list update is complete.
