Change the Node's Name

Change the node's name from its default of creativespace, so that you can connect to it with the broadcast URL of your choice.

When you first connect to the node, you navigate to creativespace.local in your browser. The name of the host is creativespace, and the domain of the node is .local. While you can't change the domain of the node, you can change its name to whatever you would like. For example, you could change the hostname of the node to edit-bay-storage, and navigate to edit-bay-storage.local to connect to it.

WARNING

Changing the broadcast name will force everyone who has connected to the system in the past to log in again, with the new broadcast URL. It could also break any shorcuts, relative paths, or aliases they have to content on the system storage.

WARNING

Do NOT give the node the same broadcast name as another device on your network.

Scroll to System Information and click .

TIP

Make sure you can physically access the node's power button before you shut down or reboot.

Use to enter the broadcast name you want to give to your node.

TIP

If you access the node's management interface using its broadcast name, you will need to enter the new broadcast name in your browser's URL bar to access the interface once you complete this step.
