Natalia, AGSchedule provides a link to the beacon information on the meeting details page. There you can see all beacons, or just the beacons participating in your meeting. That is, providing the node ops have a beacon running and they have filled in the field for their site info on AGSchedule. The old version of the beacon v. 0.64 (et al) added the beacon@ to the address of the beacon machine as part of describing each machine. In order for the AGSchedule code to function properly, it is necessary to include that as part of the address for your beacon in the Beacon DNS Name field.
All that said, with the release of the new beacon v. 0.09.58 (et al) the functionality within AGSchedule is becoming out of date. The functionality which allows one to view a subset of the beacons is not yet available (Mitch, correct me if I'm wrong). Once the functionality is there to emulate what the older version does, I'll redo the AGSchedule code to work with the new beacon. So long story short, you can leave the Beacon DNS Name field blank for now and change it when you have a beacon running, but realize that currently, it's meant to work with the older version of the beacon.
