The dialog options are:
Loop Number Data Field
Enables you to type the name a new loop number. Use the Tab key or the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor to the next place. You can make your corrections or changes by overwriting the existing values. Alternatively, you can select the characters with the mouse pointer and then type the new content.
The data field displays the loop name template which is based on the loop naming convention defined by the Domain Administrator for the current <unit>. For the alphanumeric part of the name, you can type any character (letters, digits, spaces, and so forth.) For the numeric part of the name, you can use only digits (0 to 9). You can customize the loop name template but only the Domain Administrator can change the naming conventions.
