Assigning Server Names; Assigning Device Types - Avocent AUTOVIEW 2020 Guide D'installation Et D'utilisation

Assigning server names

Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers by name rather than by port number. The
Names list is always sorted by port order. Names are stored in the AVRIQ or IAC module, so even
if you move the cable/server to another ARI port, the name and configuration will be recognized by
the switch.
NOTE: If a server is turned off, its respective AVRIQ module will not appear in the Names list.
To access the Names dialog box:
1. Press
Print Screen
2. Click Setup
NOTE: If the server list changes, the mouse cursor will turn into an hourglass as the list is automatically updated. No
mouse or keyboard input will be accepted until the list update is complete.
To assign names to servers:
1. In the Names dialog box, select a server name or port number and click Modify. The Name
Modify dialog box displays.
2. Type a name in the New Name box. Names of servers may be up to 15 characters long. Supported
characters include: A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9, space and hyphen.
3. Click OK to transfer the new name to the Names dialog box. Your selection is not saved until
you click OK in the Names dialog box.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each server in the system.
5. Click OK in the Names dialog box to save your changes.

assign it the appropriate number of ports.
