2. Configure the following parameters as necessary:
System Name
This parameter specifies a name for the switch (for example, Sales
Ethernet switch). The name is displayed at the top of the AT-S63
management pages and tabs. The name can be from 1 to 39
characters. The name can include spaces and special characters,
such as exclamation points and asterisks. The default is no name. This
parameter is optional.
Note
Allied Telesyn recommends assigning each switch a name. Names
make it easier for you to identify the various switches when you
manage them, and they can help you avoid performing a
configuration procedure on the wrong switch.
Administrator
This parameter specifies the name of the network administrator
responsible for managing the switch. The name can be from 1 to 20
characters. It can include spaces and special characters, such as
dashes and asterisks. The default is no name. This parameter is
optional.
Comments
This parameter specifies the location of the switch, (for example, 4th
Floor - rm 402B). The location can be from 1 to 20 characters. The
location can include spaces and special characters, such as dashes
and asterisks. The default is no location. This parameter is optional.
