NOTE As you supply information, SAM will automatically fill in fields with

information as necessary, or simply accept the defaults. SAM will advise
you if any of the information is unacceptable or incorrect.
•“Client name:”
If DNS domains are used in your network environment, this is the
fully-qualified domain name. For example, wendy.neverlnd.org is
the fully-qualified domain name for the computer named wendy in
the domain neverlnd.org.
If you provide the host name for the client (for example, wendy), SAM
will fill in the rest of the fully-qualified domain name
(wendy.neverlnd.org).
Alternatively, you can leave this field blank and fill in the IP address
(see below). SAM will fill in the client name with the first fully
qualified domain name associated with that IP address.
•“Internet Protocol address:”
This is the IP address associated with the client name. The client
name must be registered with a name service with DNS, NIS,
/etc/hosts, or some combination before SAM will accept it. SAM
will look up the name and provide the corresponding IP address. You
should not have to change this value.
Alternatively, you can leave the client name blank and fill in the IP
address. SAM will fill in the client name with the first fully qualified
domain name associated with that IP address.
•“Hardware Address:”
