# DetectedBoards[x].Name

Contains a unique temporary board name for a board detected by oamDetectBoards.

#### Syntax

DetectedBoards[x].Name = detectedboardname

#### Access

Read-only

#### Type

String

#### Details

The board name is automatically generated during board detection. The name can be changed later, after a managed object is created for the board.

This keyword and all other DetectedBoards[x].xxx keywords are assigned values when oamDetectBoards is invoked. NMS OAM searches the chassis for boards. When it finds a board, it adds an array entry to the DetectedBoards[] array and stores information about the board in subkeywords of the new array entry. The DetectedBoards[] array is renewed whenever the function is called. It is empty until this function is called.

When the board search is complete, the application can create managed objects for the boards in the array. To learn how to create managed objects for detected boards, refer to Detecting installed boards automatically.

Note: Only AG and CG boards can be automatically detected.

You can retrieve the value of the DetectedBoards.Count keyword to indicate the number of boards in the DetectedBoards[] array.

When board detection is complete, the DetectedBoards[] array includes boards that already have managed objects in the NMS OAM database.
