Creating a User-Defined 
Drive/Peripheral Name
The host drive and each of its connected peripherals has a default name. You can 
change any of these default names, but each new user-defined name cannot 
exceed 16 characters in length. Follow these steps to change a default name. 
1.
Access the Status screen (see
Figure 6
).
2.

you want to change (for example, Port 00 for the host drive).

IMPORTANT
Text editing is not supported when using Asian language characters. Only 
characters in the ISO 8859-1 Latin 1 Character Set, which is supported by U.S. 
and European personal computers, are available. If a software tool is used for 
text editing Asian characters, the HIM will replace all unsupported characters 
with a [] (narrow rectangle) mark.
