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:

All alpha characters: a - z; A - Z

All numeric characters: 0 - 9

+ - / : . and Space

Case does not matter; 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 47) - 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 33); or an invalid entry is made
on an OSD menu. The default is Y (activated).
