Name a Device

CrewCom devices can be given a 16-character long name and an 8-character short name for display in the various CrewWare menus and diagrams. The default setting for CU Name is the device's electronic serial number.

Note: This is a different procedure than editing the RP Profile's name. (See Edit a Profile.)

  1. Scroll through the CU Settings options and select Control Unit Name to enter “edit” mode.
  2. Use the CU’s up/down navigation buttons to scroll to each desired letter. Then, use the right/left navigation buttons to move to each letter of the name.
  3. Press Enter to save your changes.
