Defining the System Name

Note

If you have a high-availability NAS server, you must stop

clustering services to edit the information.

The system name uniquely identifies your NAS server on your network. It is a

text string that contains as many as 15 characters drawn from the alphabet

(A-Z), digits (0-9), and minus sign (-). No distinction is made between upper

and lower case. However, the name must begin with a letter and the last

character must not be a minus sign. The name you use appears on the Identity

screen of the web interface and in Network Neighborhood in a Windows

networking environment.
To define the system name:

1

In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Configuration tab.

2

Navigate down the tree to System Properties.

3

Click Actions > Edit System Name. Enter your system name (not the

domain) in the System Name field. You can use any combination of

numbers, letters, or dashes to name your device. However, the name must

begin with a letter.

4

Click OK.
