set
Sets the VSX system’s LAN host name when followed
by the
“hostname”
parameter. If
“hostname”
is
omitted, the system automatically sets it to
Admin
.
“hostname”
Character string specifying the LAN host name of the
VSX system. The LAN host name follows these format
rules:
Starts with a letter (A-a to Z-z). It is not case sensitive.
Ends with a letter (A-a to Z-z) or a number (0 to 9).
May include letters, numbers, and a hyphen.
May not be longer than 63 characters.
Note: The LAN host name is initialized during the
out-of-box setup sequence. The LAN host name is the
same as the system name, if the system name
conforms to the rules above. If the system name does
not conform to these rules, the invalid characters are
removed from the system name. If the resulting string
is empty, the default LAN host name is Admin.
