Maintaining symbolic station names:

Whenever possible, the Sniffer will use symbolic names
instead of (or in addition to) hexadecimal station
addresses in the displays.  The initial source of the
names is the text file "STARTUP.TRD" in the default
subdirectory or in the path specified by "set
trnames=<path>" environment string.

You can add names or modify existing ones using the
Name management submenu of the display menu.

Editing and adding station names:

Whenever you collect data, unrecognized station
addresses are added to the name list with blank names.
Selecting Edit names will permit you to provide a
symbolic names for those stations.

You may also change an existing name, delete a station
entirely, or add both the hex address and name of
stations that haven't yet been seen.

Clearing or looking for names

You may erase the current name table by choosing "Clear
names".  The copy on disk is unaffected unless you save
the name table.

You can also use "Search for names" to cause the
Protocol Interpreters to try to find symbolic names
embedded within the captured frames, such as from logon
or broadcast messages.  Note, howvever, that such names
are often transitory user names and not useful for a
permanent table entry.

Saving the name list to disk

You may save a copy of the current name list to disk for
later use.  It will be put back in place of the
"STARTUP.TRD" file used when the Sniffer was started. 

By establishing multiple DOS subdirectories, you may
have multiple name lists.

Be careful that you do not overwrite a "permanent"
file of names with a transitory one created in the
current session unless you really mean to do so.
