Configure a home site

To configure a home site

In the Collective container, double-click the Home Site container.
In the list view window, right-click Configuration.
The Home Site Configuration dialog box appears.
In the Site Identifier box, type a number that uniquely identifies this site. This number appears in all CIC report logs and can be used to create custom queries that isolate data for this site. The default value is 0 (zero). For the purposes of reports, a 0 means that a single CIC server is writing data to the report logs.
In the Password box, type a password for the site. Passwords are case-sensitive and can be any length or character. The next time that you open this dialog box, the Password and Confirm boxes will display 16 asterisk (*) characters, regardless of the length of the password that you type now.

Tip: You can change the password whenever you open the Site Configuration dialog box.
In the Confirm box, re-type the password.
In the Note ID Dial String Digits box, type a two-digit value. This value identifies a multi-site call when it is sent to a peer site through an established tie-line connection. For example, *90.
Do one of the following:
- If you have a switchover environment, complete steps 8 and 9.
- Otherwise, skip to step 10.
In the Switchover Server Configuration section, in the Switchover Server A and Switchover Server B lists, select the locations of the switchover servers. For example, you may have switchover servers in different geographic locations. This location is not the computer name. This location of a switchover server allows you to change the codecs that is associated with the server.
Type the server names.
To activate the site as a home site in a collective, select the Activate this site to participate in a multi-site configuration check box.
Click OK.
