  1. Before registering the devices, activate and define Naming Convention in the UMS under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Device Network Settings, see Device Network Settings.

  2. If the network name, i.e. terminal name, of the device, should be adjusted, enable Device Network Settings > Adjust network name if UMS-internal name has been changed.

  3. For OS 12 devices, enable Force UMS-internal name as network name (OS12 only) to block the changing of the network name on the devices.

  4. Save the changes.

    If the network name remained unchanged after the device registration is complete, click Other commands > Settings UMS >Device from the device's context menu.

If the Naming Convention option does not suit your needs, you can import the devices with the names that fulfill your requirements. For the general instruction, see (12.04.120-en_orig) Importing Devices.

  1. When preparing the import file, specify the required device names. See (12.04.120-en_orig) Import with Short Format or (12.04.120-en_orig) Import with Long Format. 

  2. If the network name, i.e. terminal name, of the devices, should be adjusted, enable UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Device Network Settings > Adjust network name if UMS-internal name has been changed.

General Notes

  • After renaming via UMS, it may be necessary to reboot the endpoint up to three times before the changed network name is displayed correctly. 
  • Scripts under System > Firmware Customization > Custom Commands as well as some DNS or DHCP infrastructure settings may interfere and obstruct the renaming of devices.
  • If SCEP certification is in use with Type of CommonName/SubjectAltName parameter set to DNS name (auto), SCEP will continue to function using the old hostname by default when you rename the device. This can later lead to client certificate failure at certificate renewal. You can change the behavior through the network.scepclient.cert%.hostname_change_handling registry key. For details and troubleshooting, see Troubleshooting: SCEP Certificate Renewal Failure due to Hostname Change.

Option 1: Via UMS Console > Device Network Settings > Naming Convention

  1. Activate and define Naming Convention in the UMS under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Device Network Settings, see Device Network Settings.

  2. If the network name, i.e. terminal name, of the device should be adjusted, enable Device Network Settings > Adjust network name if UMS-internal name has been changed.

  3. Save the changes.

  4. To rename the devices, select one of the following options:
    • Rename all devices: All devices registered in the UMS will be renamed in accordance with the naming convention.
      Example:


    • Rename and renumber all devices: All devices will be renamed in accordance with the naming convention. If the parameter Identifier under UMS Administration > Global Configuration > Device Network Settings has been set to Sequential Number (UMS 12.02.120 or higher) or you are using UMS 12.02.100 or lower, this will result in continuous, end-to-end numbering. All names will be reallocated. If numbers have become free because devices were taken out of service, these numbers will be used for other devices. For details on the naming options, see Device Network Settings.
      Example:
