Renaming thin client

1. On the Devices page, click the device.
2. From the More options drop-down list, select the Change Host Name option.
3. Enter the new host name when prompted.
   NOTE: Host name can only contain alphanumeric characters, and a hyphen.
4. For Windows Embedded Standard devices, the Reboot drop-down list is included in the Alert window. To restart the system, select the Reboot option. If the Reboot Later option is selected, the device restarts at the configured time, and then the host name is updated.

   

   NOTE: A ThinLinux device does not need to be restarted to update the host name.
