Configure the Host Name
The ReadyNAS uses a host name to advertise itself on the network. When you review
the network using ReadyCLOUD, a computer, or any other interface, you can recognize
the ReadyNAS by its host name.
The default host name is nas-xx-xx-xx, where xx-xx-xx is the last 6 bytes of the system’s
primary MAC address. You can change the host name to one that is easier to remember
and recognize.
To change the host name:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
2. Select System > Overview > Device.
3. Click the gear icon to the right of the Name field.
4. In the Name field in the Host Name pop-up window, enter a new host name.
In most non-Asian character sets, the host name can be a maximum of 15 characters,
can include only A–Z, a–z, 0–9, and _, and the first character must be alphabetic. If
you use Asian language characters, the limit is lower.
5. Click the OK button.
Your settings are saved.
Enable Antivirus
Your ReadyNAS system (except a RN100 system) comes with free antivirus software that
provides real-time virus scans using signature and heuristic algorithms. The antivirus
software helps protect your system from viruses, malware, worms, and Trojans. ReadyNAS
antivirus software cannot be enabled on a ReadyNAS 100 system.
Note: The antivirus software requires a valid Internet gateway and DNS to update its
antivirus signatures, and updates over networks with proxy servers are not currently
supported. Communication is through port 443.
