Assigning target device names

Use the Names dialog box to identify target devices by name rather than by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. You can toggle between displaying the name or the EID number of each DSRIQ module, so even if you move the target device to another port, the name and configuration will be recognized by the switch.

NOTE: If a target device is turned off, its respective DSRIQ module will not appear in the Names list.

To access the OSCAR interface Names dialog box:

1.If the OSCAR interface is not open, press Print Screen. The Main dialog box appears.

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

NOTE: If new DSRIQ modules are discovered by the DSR switch, the on-screen list will be automatically updated. The mouse cursor will change into an hourglass during the update. No mouse or keyboard input will be accepted until the list update is complete.
