If there's only one other registered resource with that name, you're prompted to choose whether or
not to take over the events for that other resource. If you do take them over, Kaltura transfers all
scheduled events from that other device over to Pearl Mini.

If more than two other resources are already registered with the same resource name in Kaltura, the
name change fails. You're prompted to choose a different resource name and try again.
To change the Pearl Mini resource name using the Admin panel:
1. Login to the Admin panel as

.
2. From the Configuration menu, click

Reassign a registered resource
Every encoder you register with Kaltura has a unique resource name. To swap out one Pearl Mini encoder with
another one, you can simply reassign the existing Pearl Mini resource name to the replacement Pearl Mini.
Assigning Pearl Mini the same resource name when you register the encoder transfers all the existing
schedules and recordings over to the replacement Pearl Mini. When a resource tries to register using the same
name as another device, a warning message appears and you're asked whether or not you want to take over
from the other resource.
