When the DSR switch discovers a cascaded switch, the numbering format changes from a DSR port
only to [DSR port]-[switch port] to accommodate each target device under that switch.
For example, if a switch is connected to DSR port 6, each target device connected to it would be
numbered sequentially. The target device using DSR port 6, switch port 1, would be 06-01, the
target device using DSR port 6, switch port 2, would be 06-02, and so on.
To assign a device type:
1. In the Devices dialog box, select the desired port number.
2. Click Modify to open the Device Modify dialog box shown in Figure 3.10.

3. Choose the number of ports supported by your switch and click OK.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each port requiring a device type to be assigned.
5. Click OK in the Devices dialog box to save settings.
