Tips when creating/editing computer entries  
•  Avoid creating two names for the same computer port.
•  When cascading to other units, do not apply individual names to any ports 
that are forming a link group to another switch (i.e. ports 1, 2, 3 & 4 when 
they form link group 41).
Cross markers indicate which 
uers will be granted access to 
the currently selected computer. 
To change the permission state:
