Assigning Device Names

Use the Names dialog box to identify individual devices by name rather than
by port number. The Names list is always sorted by port order. Names are stored
in the SIP module, so even if you move the SIP/server to another ARI port, the
name and configuration is recognized by the switch.
NOTE:
If a device is turned off, the respective SIP module does 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 appears.
2 Click Setup - Names
NOTE:
If the server list changes, the mouse cursor turns into an hourglass as the
list is automatically updated. No mouse or keyboard input is accepted until the list
update is complete.
NOTE:
If a SIP module is not assigned a name, the EID is used as the default name.
To assign names to devices:
The Names dialog box displays.
