Procedure for changing the name of a FLO2 block in a Network 8000 GCM, and in the MicroFlo II controller

Resolution
The name comes from the FLO2 block in the GCM. Once the block is created and named, there is no direct way to edit the name, either in the GCM or from PSI. The name is saved in the backed-up PSI application file, and when the application is downloaded, the name in the controller changes to the name from the file. Download a different file, and the MFII gets a different name. To keep the programming intact, but change the block name in the GCM and in the controller:
- 1. Set the physical address of the existing FLO2 block (with the wrong name) = 0.
- 2. Copy the block, give the new FLO2 block the name you want.
- 3. Edit the new FLO2 block, set the physical address = the DIP switch setting on the MFII.
- 4. Reset the new block, created in step 3. This writes the new name to the MF2 controller.
- 5. Delete the original FLO2 block, that had the wrong name.
