Usage Recommendations

  • It is recommended to use meaningful identifiers for device names, such as device model, location, or purpose
  • Avoid using special characters; it is recommended to use letters, numbers, and hyphens
  • Maintain a consistent naming convention for easier future management

Precautions

  • Custom names only affect display and do not impact service performance
  • Configuration must be reapplied after changing the name to take effect
  • It is recommended to keep records of each device’s configuration for future reference
