Specifying a name

Each NION has a name that is displayed in the web interface and on the front panel (if fitted).

In the factory, an identical name is given to every NION. Therefore, in order to identify individual units by their names, you must assign a unique name to each unit.

To specify a name

  1. From the main menu, select CONFIG to display the first configuration page, LAN CONFIG.

  2. Turn the data wheel clockwise.

    The first letter of the NION name will be highlighted.

  3. Use the data wheel to specify a unique name for the NION.
  4. Press OK.

    The POWER screen is displayed.

  5. In the ACTION list, select POWER DOWN.
  6. Wait 30 seconds and then power up the NION.

    This delay allows time for entries in the ARP cache to time out, so the new name you have specified will be used.
