With the menu visible on the screen, press the [Insert] key. This will cause a new
“Computer” entry field to be inserted on the menu. This is highlighted in red with
a flashing cursor to indicate the text entry position. Type in a name up to
16 characters long (you can use uppercase, lowercase, special, and space
characters). When you’re finished, press [Enter].
The red highlighted area now moves into the “Port” entry field, and you can
enter the port number for the named computer. Specify port numbers with single
digits on the 4- and 8-port models and double digits on the 12- and 16-port models
(adding a leading zero if necessary). If you are using cascaded ServSwitch Duo
units, you’ll have to specify the whole channel address (see Section 5.13 and the
“{Hotkeys} + {Channel Address}” paragraph in Section 5.7). To specify CPU port 5
on a subsidiary Switch that is cascaded off CPU port 3 of the master Switch, you
would enter the channel address as “35” on 4- and 8-port models or as “0305” on
12- or 16-port models. (Remember that units should not be cascaded more than
three layers deep.) Press [Enter] again to complete the entry and store it in the
Switch’s menu memory. The menu can hold over 300 entries.
Note that you can add another computer to the menu list at any time, and you
can continue adding computers without exiting the menu. Just press [Insert] again
to add an entry after the current line, or press [Shift] and [Insert] to add an entry
before the current line, then input the new name as already described.
