You assign text strings to passwords, computers, KVM stations, users, profiles, and
groups. These strings and names are case sensitive and may have embedded special
characters. Choose names wisely. For example, including terminating space
characters may confuse other users.

Saving to flash memory ensures that configuration changes will be active after the
next power up—not only in this Switch, but also in all attached Switches. Choose
the Save option on the main menu, press [Enter] or exit the main menu after
you’ve changed at least one parameter, and a text box will ask if you want to save
changes (see Figure 4-2 on the next page):
• Choose “no” for temporary or incorrect changes. The new settings become
active in this Switch and all attached Switches, but old settings become active
the next time a Switch is restarted.
• Choose “yes” to save changes to the flash memory of all powered-on Matrix
ServSwitches in the system. The number of port boards in all of the Matrix
ServSwitches in your system is calculated and displayed in a message that reads,
Boards to update - n
Before responding “yes,” make sure that the number of boards in the message
above (“n”) agrees with the number of boards in the system (that is, the
number of CPU ports divided by four) minus one. If the number does not
agree, then reply “no,” turn on any inactive Switches, and choose the Save
option of the main menu again.
