You can change the name of the HP Media Vault. This is useful if you have more than one media vault on the same network. The default network name is HPMediaVault.

Keep in mind that renaming a media vault forces all your network computers to remap their shared network resources, such as Shared Files and Shared Printers. Change the name of the media vault only when necessary.

To access the Network Settings screen:

  • Double-click the HP Media Vault icon on your desktop.
  • Click Customize your HP Media Vault’s settings.
  • If the Welcome Screen appears, click Configure Device.
  • Click the Network Settings tab.

To change the name:

  1. In the Device Name box, enter the new name for the media vault. Do not include spaces in the name. Only 15 alphanumeric characters are allowed.
  2. Click Accept or Cancel. If you click Cancel, you media vault will not be renamed.

Two or more HP Media Vaults:

If you have more than one media vault, the second is called HPMediaVault01, the third is called HPMediaVault02, and so on.
