CHAPTER 4: Operation
The name is automatically stored in flash configuration memory. If the name
is wrong, hit [Y] to re-enter it. If it looks OK, you can hit the [Esc] key to exit
the name command or hit [N] to see the name of the next-higher-numbered
port. In this manner you can view and change names on any CPU that you
wish to. When you change the name of the port that is currently selected, the
ServManager’s front-panel display will be updated with the new name as soon
as you hit the [Enter] key.
You can hit [Esc] at any time to quit the Set Name command. There is no
automatic exit from this command, so be sure to hit [Esc] when you’ve
finished configuring the names.

Use this command to tell a ServManager the total number of ports in its
system (on that ServManager and all attached submasters) to which devices
are or will be connected. This allows the scan function to cycle correctly with
CPUs connected to more or fewer ports than the factory default for this
option, which is the total number of ports on the ServManager (“4” for a 4-
port unit, “8” for an 8-port, etc.). Although this command is used primarily
for cascading, it can also be used to enable only some of the ports of a single
ServManager.
To issue the Set Maximum Ports command to a single or master
ServManager (
not
to any submasters), press and release the left Control Key,
type [P] followed by the total number of ports accessible to that ServManager
(from 1 to 3 digits), and press [ENTER]. Issue the Keep Settings command
after you issue this command.
Maximum Ports can be set to any value from 2 to 256. We don’t
recommend attaching submasters with different numbers of ports to the same
ServManager; if you do, you might have to count ports that do not actually
exist (see
Section 3.3.2
). Also note that if you are sharing Matrix ServSwitch
submasters between two ServManager masters in your system, the Maximum
Ports value might have to be set differently for each ServManager.
