Assigning server or serial device names
Use the Names dialog box to identify servers or serial 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, so even if
you move the module/server/serial device to another ARI port, the name and
configuration will be recognized by the appliance.
NOTE: If a server is turned off, its respective DSRIQ will not appear in the Names list.
To access the Names dialog box:
1. If OSCAR 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, 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.
To assign names to servers or serial devices:
1. In the Names dialog box, select a server or serial device name or port
number and click Modify. The Name Modify dialog box appears.
