Assigning Server Names

Use the

Names

dialog box to identify individual servers or servers connected to cascade switch

channels 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 SIP. Names are stored in the

SIP, so even if you move the cable/server to another Analog Rack Interface (ARI) port, the name,

and configuration will be recognized by the 2161DS Console Switch.

NOTE: If a server is powered down, its respective SIP will not appear in the Names list.

NOTE: If you move a SIP from one server to another, you must assign the new server name to the SIP.

For information, see Figure 3-18.

To access the

Names

dialog box:

Press <Print Screen>. The

Main

dialog box will appear.

Click

Setup - Names.

The

Names

dialog box appears.

NOTE: If new SIPs are discovered by the 2161DS Console Switch, the on-screen list will be

automatically updated. The mouse cursor will change into an hourglass during the update. No mouse or

keyboard input will be accepted until the list update is complete.
