System Identity
If you have multiple Compex WP11B+s in your network, it will be useful if you define
the respective Compex WP11B+ identities for ease of identification.
In some cases, your ISP may require you to define a
System Name
before you can
access the Internet. The
System Name
is also used as a DHCP Client ID in negotiation
with a DHCP Server for IP release. All these can be defined in the
System Identity.

System Name
This parameter is used as a DHCP Client ID in
negotiation with a DHCP Server for IP leased. Certain
Cable ISPs, such as Optus@Home in Australia and
Excite@Home in the United States, require DHCP
Client ID to be authenticated first before leasing out an
IP address.
