ASSIGNING UNIQUE NAMES TO COMPUTERS
You may find it easier to identify the computers in a
system by name, rather than by port number. You
can assign unique names to computers in the Display
Systems screen. Computer names are listed by
number, 1 through 32, until you make changes. Each
screen shows 16 entries, and you can scroll or page
down to see the next page.
To assign names to computers:
1
At the prompt “>” in the Display Matrix screen
type DS and press ENTER to access the Display
Systems
screen.
2 Use the ARROW keys to
move the highlight to the
Name column and then to
the port number for which
you want to enter or change
a computer name.
3 Type a name for the
computer. Computer names may be up to 12
characters long, including only A–Z, 0–9, the +,
*, ., /, :, –, and the space character.
4 If necessary, repeat steps 2 and 3 for each
computer or tiered device in the system.
5 Press ENTER to save names, or ESCAPE to return
to previous values.
■ Note
After pressing ENTER, do not turn off the core
until you see UPDATE COMPLETE on your
terminal screen or you will lose all your updates.
