Using Menu/Connection Commands
Changing a Port Name
You can change a port name to reference the type of device that port is connected to. For
example, a port attached to a router could be named
router
. To change the name of a
port, open the configuration page for that port (
Ports
Configure
) and enter the new
name in the
Port Name
field.
Changing a Port Name
You can enter more than one command in the
Command
field by separating each
command with a semicolon (;). The most common use of this feature is in the form:
connect
{
local
or
remote
}
portname;command
(for example,
connect local
port_2;disconnect
).
This command can be shortened to
con loc port_2;disc
. The
disconnect
command
closes the connection to that port when you return to the menu
.
