3.6 Changing the 640H Name

As with a Mac, the 640H needs to have a unique name over the network. This name by default is "Azur" and is located in Settings/System/System Info/Unit Name menu of the 640H. It is recommended to change this name to a simple one word name with no spaces or special characters, i.e. the room where the 640H is situated (e.g. lounge). If the 640H and Mac are in the same room, then please use a suitable one word alternative.

Note: By default, the folder where all your music content is placed is called "Media". Please see the "Accessing the 640H from a Mac" section for more information.

Note: The set up procedure for OS X 10.4.1 (Tiger) and 10.3.x (Panther) are the same. For OS X 10.4.2 and above, please turn to "OS X 10.4.2 and Above" section below. The 640H will not network to OS X 10.2 and below, including OS 9.
