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 CO cable, so even if you move the cable/server to another ARI port, the name
and configuration will be recognized by the LCM.
NOTE: If a server is turned off, its respective CO cable will not appear in the Names list.
To access the Names dialog box:
1. Press Print Screen. The Main dialog box will appear.
2. Click Setup - Names. The Names dialog box appears.

NOTE: If the server list changes, the mouse cursor will turn into an hourglass as the list is
automatically updated. No mouse or keyboard input will be accepted until the list update is complete.
