name - Define Port Names

The name command allows the user to assign names to each of the ports. Ports with identical names are grouped

together since commands can be issued to control the boxes by name or by port number.

The Port Names can be changed to any string of 1 to 16 characters (including all printable characters) not including

‘space’ or ‘comma’. Port names cannot start with a number.

PDU 4/4> help name

Syntax: name <n>

Description: Max.16 alphanumeric characters. The name must not start with a number.

= (box # | all) <d> = disable <dly> = delay <e> = enable

<n> = name <t> = time = (port # | name | all)

Ports and Boxes may be referred to by all, name (implying a group) or number.

Ranges of ports may be specified as 1-4 = 1,2,3,4. All may also be used.

The Define Port Names command allows the user to give each port an alias and allows the grouping of outlets. The

Port Number is not changed or affected by renaming the port, and may always be used to control the port.

Examples:

 name 1 Sun 1,3,5 assigns the alias of Sun to Box 1, Ports 1, 3, and 5

 name 0 Sun 1-4 assigns the alias of Sun to all Boxes, ports 1 through 4

 name 0 Sun ALL assigns the alias of Sun to all Boxes, all ports

Default names are ‘DEVICE1’ through ‘DEVICE8’ for Ports 1-8, respectively.

Port Names must be between one and sixteen characters, and can include any printable characters except for ‘space’

or ’comma’. Port names cannot start with a number.

Port Groups

Port Groups can be created and controlled by assigning identical names to two or more ports. All ports with identical

names within one PDU 4/4 are grouped together provided the user enters an operational command for that name.

All ports with identical names in ALL daisy-chained PDU 4/4 chassis will be controlled provided the user enters a

valid GLOBAL (box ID = 0) command.
