12.1 System Overview

In the System screen, you can name your WX Device (Host) and give it an associated domain name.
Domain is the name given to a network. It will be required to reach a network from an external point
(like the Internet). Knowing the domain name will allow you to reach a particular network, and knowing
the host name will allow you to reach a particular device. For this reason, accessing a device from
another device within a network may work with just the host name (without the use of the domain
name).

12.2 System Settings

Click Maintenance > System to open the following screen. Assign a unique name to the WX Device so it
can be easily recognized on your network. You can use up to 30 characters, including spaces.
