Local port operation 36
Assigning server names
Use the Names dialog box ("Accessing the Names dialog box" on page 35) to identify individual servers
or serial devices by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order, and
the names are stored in the Interface Adapter. If you move the Interface Adapter or server to another
switch port, the HP KVM Server Console Switch G2 recognizes the names and configurations.
Assigning names to servers
1. From the Names dialog box ("Accessing the Names dialog box" on page 35), select the name or
port number and click Modify. The Name Modify dialog box appears.
2. In the New Name field, enter a name. Names can be 1 to 15 characters in length. Permitted
characters are case-sensitive and can consist of A–Z, 0–9, spaces, and hyphens.
3. Click OK to transfer the new name to the Names dialog box.
4. Repeat steps the previous steps for each server in the system.
5. Choose one of the following options:
o Click OK to save settings.
o Click X to exit, or press the Esc key to exit without saving settings.
