Setting Function
EDIT PORT
NAMES
To help remember which computer is attached to a particular port,
every port can be given a name. This function allows the
administrator to create, modify, or delete port names. To edit a port
name:
1. Click the port you want, or use the navigation keys to move the
highlight bar to it, then press [Enter].
2. Key in the new port name, or modify/delete the old one. The
maximum number of characters allowed for the port name is 12.
Legal characters include:
 Alpha characters: A–Z
 All numeric characters: 0–9
 + - / . and Space
Case does not matter; the OSD displays the port name in all
capitals no matter how they were keyed in.
3. When you have finished editing, press [Enter] to have the
change take effect. To abort the change, press [Esc].
RESTORE
DEFAULT
VALUES
This function is used to undo all changes and return the setup to
the original factory default settings (see OSD Factory Default
Settings, page 64) – except for the Names settings that were
assigned to the ports, which are saved.
CLEAR THE
NAME LIST
This function clears the port name list.
ACTIVATE
BEEPER
Choices are Y (for Yes), or N (for No). When activated, the beeper
sounds whenever a port is changed; when activating the Auto Scan
function (see F7 SCAN, page 37); or an invalid entry is made on an
OSD menu. The default is Y (activated).
