3.5 Creating and editing computer names
Computer names provide a very convenient way of selecting and identifying
computers that are attached to the LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP. You can select
computers by port number (see sections 4.8 and 4.15) but when you have several
computers it becomes hard to remember which computer is attached to which port.
By defining descriptive computer names you can select the required computer from
an on-screen menu without having to remember which physical port the computer is
connected to. For each computer name that you define you can grant or deny access
to any of the defined users.
Each computer name that you define will have an associated port number. This is the
LINDY CPU Switch port that the computer is attached to. If all of your computers are
connected to a single LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP then all the port numbers will be
two characters long (for example: 01, 02, 03, 16 etc.). If you are cascading LINDY
CPU Switch Dual MPs then the port numbers will be four, six or eight characters long
depending upon whether you have two, three or four levels of cascade (see figure 7).
See the end of this section and section 4.10 for an explanation of how the port
numbers are constructed. The LINDY CPU Switch Dual MP supports up to 512
computer names.
To create computer names:
Ensure that you are logged on as the ADMIN user.
