Re-naming the OG-X-FR Frame in the Tree View
Once your OG-X-FR frame displays in DashBoard, you may wish to provide a
unique display name for the frame for easier identification in the Tree View. There
are two methods for re-naming an OG-X-FR frame in DashBoard depending on
how you added the frame to the Tree View in DashBoard. The first method is for
frames manually added to the Tree View. The second method describes how to
re-name an auto-detected frame using the DashBoard menu options available on
the Network Controller Card. Both methods are described below.
To re-name a manually added OG-X-FR frame
