Item
Explanation
Basic Information
Name:
Provide a name to identify the port. The default is the port
name it was given under its original device configuration. If you
change the name here, the change only takes place in the CC2000
database. The name on the original configuration remains the same.
Model:
The CC2000 recognizes the device model and fills in this
field automatically. It cannot be edited. If the device is a Cat5e KVM
switch, the KVM Adapter Cable model displays here.
Port ID:
Port IDs are unique and permanent – they cannot be
edited. The CC2000 fills in this field automatically. For Cat5e KVM
switch ports, the ID is derived from the KVM Adapter Cable ID.
Port Number:
The CC2000 ascertains which port on the KVM
switch is the one being configured and fills in this field automatically.
It cannot be edited.
