Every unit can be identified by a unique Magic name. Magic names are most useful in applications requiring more than one unit or when a unit obtains an IP address from a DHCP server. This enables programmers and installers to reference units with logical, user-friendly names, like “boardroom,” “lobby,” etc.

Steps:

- In the left part, choose "**Configuration**".
- Select "**Identification**" in the upper left part, and the following screen appears.

- You can change the "**Magic name**". "Magic name" is a unique name of a unit used in communication between reservation suite units. It is factory-set and there is usually no need to change it. If you, however, need to change it, you must ensure the new name is unique in the specific local network.
- The **Host name** is also automatically derived from the magic name to match the syntax rules for the host name and **DNS**.
- The host name and DNS suffix are displayed under the magic name.
- All changes made in Admin Web need to be confirmed by clicking "**Apply**" before leaving the selected page, otherwise, changes will not become effective.
