Setup Guide

Enter the host name

A host name allows you to refer to a device by a name rather than an IP address. Network Discovery uses the host name to refer to itself in the e-mails it sends.

Note: Define a domain name server before changing the host name.

The Host name page has two modes: prompted and manual.

In prompted mode, Network Discovery will try to read its own host name from the domain name server. If Network Discovery finds a host name matching its IP address, you will be asked to confirm that the match is correct.

In manual mode, Network Discovery has failed to find a match for its own IP address. You will be given the option to enter a host name.
