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

The Names dialog box displays.

NOTE:

If the server list changes, the mouse cursor turns into an hourglass as the
