Assigning Names and Scan Rates (Two-Tier)
When you specify non-computer devices (MasterConsole units) connected to base
MasterConsole II channels, these devices are automatically assigned default names in
the base MasterConsole II Selection Menu. In addition, since computers can be
connected to each channel of a second-tier MasterConsole, a page is automatically
created for each second-tier MasterConsole in the Selection Menu, listing Channel IDs
with default names for each channel. These names may be changed using the Edit
Names and Scan Rate Menu. See Figure 12b and Figure 12c.
The following are the MasterConsole II default Channel ID and Names for connected
devices in a two-tier configuration.
To change Names and/or Channel-Specific Scan Rates:
1. Activate On-Screen User Interface.
2. Press <F3> to access the Edit Names and Scan Rate Menu. See Figure 18 and
Figure 19.
