SERVSWITCH™ DUO AND SERVSWITCH™ QUADRO
4.6 Creating and Editing Computer Names
Computer names provide a very convenient way of selecting and identifying
computers that are attached to the ServSwitch Duo/Quadro. You can select
computers by their Duo/Quadro CPU-port number (see
Sections 5.5
), but when
you have a large number of computers, it becomes hard to remember which
computer is attached to which port. By assigning descriptive computer names, you
can select the required computer from an on-screen menu without having to
remember which of the Duo’s/Quadro’s physical ports the computer is connected
to. For each computer name that you assign, you can grant or deny access to any of
the defined user profiles.
Each computer name that you assign will have an associated port number—the
ServSwitch Duo/Quadro port that the computer is attached to. If all of your
computers are connected to a single Duo/Quadro, all of the port numbers will be
two characters long (for example, “01,” “02,” “10,” “16,” etc.). If you’re cascading,
the port numbers will be four, six or eight characters long, depending on whether
you have a two-, three-, or four-layer cascade (see Figure 4-1 at the end of this
section). See
Sections 4.6.2
and
5.10
for an explanation of how the port numbers
are constructed.
The ServSwitch Duo/Quadro supports up to 512 computer names.
