Re-naming an openGear Frame in the Tree View
There are two methods for re-naming an openGear Frame in DashBoard. The first method is for
frames manually added to the Tree View as described in the section “Adding openGear Frames
to DashBoard” on page 3-2. The second method describes how to re-name an auto-detected
frame using the DashBoard menu options available on the MFC-8300 series cards. Both methods
are described below.
Re-naming a Manually Added openGear Frame
Use the following procedure to re-name a manually added openGear frame in the Tree View:
1. Right-click the frame you wish to rename.
2. Select Rename Frame.
3. Enter the new name for the frame in the text field provided.
4. Click OK.
This completes the procedure for re-naming a manually added openGear frame in the Tree View.
Re-naming an Auto-Detected openGear Frame
Use the following procedure to re-name an auto-detected frame in the Tree View:
1. Right-click the frame you wish to rename.
2. Select Open. A tab displays in the Device View. Note that the tab title includes the slot
number and the Network Controller Card currently installed in the frame.
3. Select the Network tab.
4. Enter a new name for the frame in the Frame Name field.
5. Press Enter.
6. Click Apply.
This completes the procedure for re-naming an auto-detected openGear frame in the Tree View.
Operating Tip — You can also click Detect Frame Information to enable
DashBoard to detect the port, name, unique identifier and other connection
information from the specified IP Address. Once DashBoard detects the information,
the Automatically Track Updates to Frame Information check box is selected so
that any changes are automatically updated in DashBoard.
Note — This option is not available if you enabled the Automatically Track
Updates to Frame Information option. When this option is enabled, follow the steps
outlined in the section “Re-naming an Auto-Detected openGear Frame”.
