Assigning target device names

Table 4 describes the options in the Setup window.

3.9.1 Assigning 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 appliance. If a target device is turned

off, you cannot modify the name of the KVM-IA.
