Tips when creating/editing computer entries
• Avoid creating two names for the same computer port.
• When cascading to other units, do not apply individual names to any ports
that are forming a link group to another switch (i.e. ports 1, 2, 3 & 4 when
they form link group 41).
Cross markers indicate which
uers will be granted access to
the currently selected computer.
To change the permission state:
Highlight a user name and press the
space bar.
