At the System Manager, all conventional channel LIDs must
be programmed with a "Unit Type" equal to "Other."
Channel Alias
This text box displays the alias (name) for the entered LID as defined at
the System Manager (if present). It is recommended that a conventional
channel's LID stored in the CEC/IMC Manager be given the same alias
as the corresponding conventional channel's LID at the System
Manager. This Conventional Channel and associated Alias can be
found in the Console Privilege Lists, Section 3.11.4, see that section,
page 3-123, for more details. In other words, changing a conventional
channel's alias at the CEC/IMC Manager is not recommended if a
System Manager exists. This will ease conventional channel
identification during patch operations. A console communicates with a
conventional channel by its channel number, not its LID number.
Although not recommended if a System Manager is present in the
system, entry of a new alias for a conventional channel is possible. If a
System Manager LID database transfer has not occurred or for some
other reason this database is not present at the CEC/IMC Manager, a
default alias exists and is displayed as defined below. Valid Channel
Alias = 8-character (max.) alphanumeric text. Default = "CNVCHxxx"
where xxx is channel number.
To enter an alias for the currently selected channel, select (or Tab to)
the text box, type the alias (8 characters maximum), and then select
elsewhere within the dialog box or press the Tab key again.
Channel Location
Fields within this group indicate the local/remote information for the
currently selected conventional channel. All are read-only:
Switch Number
In most cases, this field displays the CEC/IMC switch assignment
number of the currently selected conventional channel. However,
if the switch assignment number is equal to or greater than
256
÷ max. conventional channels per CEC/IMC + 33, the
displayed number will not equal the switch assignment number of
the currently displayed conventional channel. For example, if the
switch assignment number of the currently selected conventional
channel is 60, the displayed number will be 36. (Only lower
