Host Name (Device Name)
The host name is, in essence, a name you’re giving the device.
The host name is shown on your device’s LCD screen; if more than one device is available, you can
use this name to tell the devices apart. (See
“Linking the SSID and the Host Name” on page 84.)
This name is also used when you type a command to access the:
● Home page. (See “Displaying the Home Page of the Device” on page 31.)
● microSD card. (See “Accessing the microSD Card” on page 53.)
Tip: The Connected Users window has a Block check box, available for each currently connected user.

“Wi-Fi Users Information and Settings” on page 43.)
