2. Click Appliance Settings in the side navigation bar. Click Ports and then click Cascade
Switches . The Appliance Cascade Switches window will open.
3. Click on a cascade switch name. The Cascade Switch Settings window will open.

To change the Name in DSView for a cascade switch:
1. In a Units View window containing appliances and using the topology feature (see Accessing
Units View windows on page 88 and Topology view on page 86), click on the name of a
cascade switch. The Unit Overview window will open.
2. In the Name field, change the name that will be used in the DSView 3 software.
3. If the cascade switch is uniquely identified (for example, a power device or an AutoView 2000
switch), that type will automatically be entered in the Type field and cannot be changed.
If the appliance cannot uniquely identify the cascade switch type, the Type field will include a
list of compatible units from which you may choose. A compatible unit will have at least as
many inputs and outputs as the DSView 3 software indicates in its database for the
cascade switch.
For example, if the DSView 3 software database indicates the cascade switch has more than
one connection to the same appliance, only switches with two or more inputs will be included
in the list. The target side ports are also checked; if a cascade switch has a target device on port
14, only types that support 14 or more ports will be displayed.
4. Click Save and then click Close .
You may also change the name of a cascade switch in the DSView 3 software database by using the
Merge Cascade Switch wizard; see

You may also change cascade device properties (identity, location, contacts, custom fields and
notes) by clicking the property in the side navigation bar. These windows operate identically to
those described in
Unit Properties on page 115.
