About this task
When an ADS, ADX, OAS, or ODS exists on a site, it is automatically the Site Director. If you add multiple Metasys servers to a site, the first ADS, ADX, OAS, or ODS that you add is the Site Director by default.
To add an ADS, ADX, OAS, or ODS to an archive database, complete the following steps:
Procedure
-
With the Archive Database open, from the Insert
menu, select Metasys Server. The Insert Metasys
Server wizard appears.

Purpose
Object Type
Select the type of Metasys server you are adding and the version number; for example, ADS at Version 10.1.
Destination
Select the site where the Metasys server resides.
Identifier
Type a unique name for the Metasys server. A unique name is required for each Metasys server in an archive. By default, the name of the object has a number appended to keep it unique. Therefore, if adding an ADS to a site for the first time, the default name is ADS1.
Configure
Access features of the Metasys server, including:
Email - SNMP and POP destinations. Add email addresses for the Metasys server to send messages.
Pager - Enter phone number information for sending messages to a pager.
SNMP - Enable SNMP and add destinations.
