Assigning Server or Serial Device Names

Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers or serial devices by

name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port

order. You can toggle between displaying the name or the EID number of each

AVRIQ. Names are stored in the AVRIQ, so even if you move the module/

server/serial device to another ARI port, the name and configuration will be

recognized by the appliance.

NOTE: If a server or serial device is turned off, its respective AVRIQ will not appear in the

Names list.
