Like a listener, an Oracle Names server is configured to listen for incoming connection requests for a database or other service on a specific network address. Use the Address tab to configure or modify one or more listening location addresses on which an Oracle Names server will wait for client connections.

Note: If you used the is Names Wizard to create an Oracle Names server, an address should already be configured.
