CHANGE A PC’S NAME
All new PCs are identified by their internal computer name. You can
change the name to something more easily recognizable. The new name
replaces the old name wherever it appears in the Command Center.
Note: Changing a PC’s name only changes the name that appears in the
Command Center. The PC’s internal computer name remains the
same. This can only be changed on the PC itself.
To change the name, follow these steps:
1 Click My Network and then click the Device List icon to display the
Device Management page (
FIGURE 3-2).
2 Locate the PC and click SETTINGS to display the Device Settings page
(
FIGURE 3-3).
3 Type a new name in the Device Name field.
4 Click SUBMIT.
