Set the Device name, location, and hostname

By default, all AltoReach devices have the same device name (AltoReach) and hostname (aw-altoreach). The device name is used to identify the radio with the Device discovery tool, and the hostname is used for DHCP requests when the device is set to DHCP client mode.

Prior to configuring AltoReach devices, you should change the device name and hostname to unique values.

1. Log into the AltoReach device as described in Connect to the AltoReach device.
2. In the WebUI, click Configuration.
3. Click System.
4. For Device name, enter a unique device name.
5. Set the Device location.

   Device name and Device location can be used to describe the physical location and other information about the device. For example:

   Device name: Pole1

   Device location: Parking lot 2, southwest light pole

6. For Hostname, set a unique hostname.
