4.2 Register Host window
The Register Host window is used to add hosts to the Host List tab of IM Configuration Management.
The following figure shows an example of the Register Host window.
The following describes the items displayed in the Host Registration window. An item with an asterisk (*) must be specified.

The specifiable characters are alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and periods (.). Note that the host name cannot end with a hyphen (-) or a period (.).
The user must keep the following in mind when entering the host name:
