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 AVRIQ or IAC module, so even if you move the module/cable to another ARI port, the name and configuration will be recognized by the switch.

NOTE: If a server is turned off, its respective AVRIQ or IAC module will not appear in the Names list.

To access the Names dialog box:

1.Press Print Screen to launch the OSCAR interface. The Main dialog box will appear.

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