Assigning Names and Scan Rates (Two-Tier)
When you specify non-computer devices (MasterConsole units) con-
nected to base MasterConsole II channels, these devices are automati-
cally assigned default names in the base MasterConsole II Selection
Menu. In addition, since computers can be connected to each channel
of a second-tier MasterConsole, a page is automatically created for
each second-tier MasterConsole in the Selection Menu, listing Channel
IDs with default names for each channel. These names may be
changed using the Edit Names and Scan Rate Menu.
See Figure 12b
and Figure 12c.
The following are the MasterConsole II default Channel ID and Names
for connected devices in a two-tier configuration.
To change Names and/or Channel-Specific Scan Rates:
1.
Activate
On-Screen User Interface.
2.
Press
<F3>
to access the
Edit Names and Scan Rate Menu.
See Figure 18 and Figure 19.
