To configure a hostname and a location of a device as well as contact data, there is a need to go to the page «SETUP» of a device web interface:
In the section «Device Identification» it is possible to configure:
Device Hostname – is a domain name of a device. It allows distinguishing among several NetPing devices of the same type by their names. A name is displayed on the homepage and in the heading of a web interface, in an e-mail notification in the field «From:», on other notifications, and is available via SNMP – sysName. On default: empty line
