Chapter 3. Basic Operation

The Adapter ID Function

Adapter Cable information (the Adapter ID, port name, OS, keyboard

language, and access mode), is stored on the adapter. The switch’s Adapter ID

function takes this information and stores it along with the adapter cable’s

configuration information (access rights, etc.), in its database – so that when

you move a server together with its adapter cable from one port to another, you

don’t have to reconfigure its settings – the Adapter ID function restores them

at the new location. The only change is in the port number.

When moving the server and adapter cable to another switch, however, only the

information that is stored on the adapter is retained. For the other settings you

must either reconfigure them, or use the Backup/Restore function (see

page 140) to restore them.

Since port settings are stored with the adapter, if you move a server to a new

port without its original adapter; or if you connect a different server to the

adapter, you must manually reconfigure the port settings for the new server.

See Port Access, page 91 for port configuration details.
