Assigning Server Names

Use the Names dialog box to identify individual servers by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. Names are stored in the SIP, so even if you move the cable/server to another ARI port, the name and configuration will be recognized by the appliance.

NOTE: If a server is turned off, the SIP will not appear in the Names list.

To access the Names dialog box:

1Press <Print Screen> to launch OSCAR. The Main dialog box appears.

2Click Setup - Names. The Names dialog box appears.
