Changing Case of Machine Names

note

If the database being used by OpCon is not binary, the case of a machine name cannot be changed. A non-binary database considers the entry to be the same. Complete the following steps if the case of the machine name needs to be changed.

To change the case of a machine name:

  1. Double-click on Machines under the Administration topic. The Machines screen displays.
  2. Select the machine in the Select Machine drop-down list.
  3. Right-click over the graphic to enable the menu in the Communication Status frame.
  4. Click on Stop Communication in order to stop the communication with the LSAM.
  5. Change the case of the machine name and append an additional character (e.g., change TESTMACH to testmach1) in the Name text box.
  6. Click Save icon Save on the Machines toolbar.
  7. Delete the additional character from the machine name.
  8. Click Save icon Save on the Machines toolbar.
  9. Right-click over the graphic to enable the menu in the Communication Status frame.
  10. Click on Start Communication.
  11. Click Close ☒ (to the right of the Machines tab) to close the Machines screen.
