In addition to changing server port names, users may also configure other parameters
from the PorPort Setupt Setup menu. Users may enable or disable auto scan for each port, and
may prevent the front panel LCD display from showing error messages for inactive
server ports.
3.5.1 Naming Server Ports
Users may name server ports to allow a more intuitive use of the ServerSwitch 8200.
Server port names replace the simple default port numbers wherever the server port is
identified. Server port names are especially useful when using the Jump to port…Jump to port…
function from the main menu. However, users should be careful when using server port
names with this function, as server port names can be set to be case-sensitive (see
section 3.4, System Setup for more information).
Users may name server ports by first selecting System setup…System setup… from the main on-
screen menu. To access the server port setup, which includes the option to change
port names, select Port setup…Port setup… from the menu that appears.
