System Properties
System Hostname
The system hostname uniquely identifies your HP NAS VA 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 if it is registered in WINS. If the hostname is not registered in WINS, you
will not be able to display the name in Network Neighborhood.
To define the system name:
1. Using the NAS VA web interface, click the Configuration tab.
2. Navigate down the System Configuration tree to the System Properties section and
select System Name.
3. Enter your system hostname in the System Name field. You can use any combination of
numbers, letters, or dashes for the system hostname for your device. However, the name
must begin with a letter and must not end with a dash.
4. Click Apply.
Administrative Password Settings
You can set a password for the HP NAS server. This prevents unauthorized access to the NAS
web interface. The HP NAS VA ships without password protection, and the fields are initially
blank.
Note: If you set a password for the HP NAS VA, protect it as you would any other password. If
you forget or lose this password, you will not be able to access your device. Call HP
Support for assistance.
If you specify a password, you must know the password to view or modify the information in the
other tabs. You can not access the NAS VA web interface without the password.
To assign, change, or remove an administrative password:
1. Using the NAS VA web interface, click the Configuration tab.
2. Navigate down the System Configuration tree to the System Properties section and
select Administrative Password.
3. In the New Password field:
o If you are assigning a password for the first time or changing your password, enter a
password in this field. Use any combination of printable characters (ASCII codes 32
through 126) with the exception of \, /, |, !, %, ` (back quote), ' (single quote), and ".
o If you are removing the administrative password, leave this field blank.
4. In the Password Confirmation field:
o If you are assigning a password for the first time or changing your password, confirm
the new password by typing it in this field.
o If you are removing the administrative password, leave this field blank.
5. Click Apply.
6. Immediately thereafter, you are asked for a name and password. Enter "Admin" as the
name and use the password you created.
