Assigning Server Names
Use the
Names
dialog box to identify individual servers or servers connected to cascade switch
channels by name rather than by port number. The
Names
list is always sorted by port order. You
can toggle between displaying the name or the EID number of each SIP. Names are stored in the
SIP, so even if you move the cable/server to another Analog Rack Interface (ARI) port, the name,
and configuration will be recognized by the 2161DS Console Switch.
NOTE: If a server is powered down, its respective SIP will not appear in the Names list.
NOTE: If you move a SIP from one server to another, you must assign the new server name to the SIP.
For information, see Figure 3-18.
To access the
Names
dialog box:
1
Press <Print Screen>. The
Main
dialog box will appear.
2
Click
Setup - Names.
The
Names
dialog box appears.

NOTE: If new SIPs are discovered by the 2161DS Console Switch, the on-screen list will be
automatically updated. The mouse cursor will change into an hourglass during the update. No mouse or
keyboard input will be accepted until the list update is complete.
