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. Navigate to the Network screen.
2. Under Host Name Configuration in the Host Name box, type a unique name for the NION.
3. Click Set to confirm the action.

   You will be asked to log on.

4. Specify your username and password. The default username is superuser; it has no password.
5. Navigate to the Special screen.
6. Under Unit Shutdown, in the action box, click power down.
7. Click Do it.
8. 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.
