3.5 Creating and editing computer names
Computer names provide a very convenient way of selecting and identifying
computers that are attached to the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO. You can select
computers by port number (see sections 4.8 and 4.16) but when you have several
computers it becomes hard to remember which computer is attached to which port.
By defining descriptive computer names you can select the required computer from
an on-screen menu without having to remember which physical port the computer is
connected to. For each computer name that you define you can grant or deny
access to any of the defined users.
Each computer name that you define will have an associated port number. This is
the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO port that the computer is attached to. If all of your
computers are connected to a single LINDY Dual/Quad PRO then all the port
numbers will be two characters long (for example: 01, 02, 03, 16 etc.). If you are
cascading LINDY Dual/Quad PRO then the port numbers will be four, six or eight
characters long depending upon whether you have two, three or four levels of
cascade (see figure 7). See the end of this section and section 4.10 for an
explanation of how the port numbers are constructed. The LINDY Dual/Quad PRO
supports up to 512 computer names.
