Rename a device or change its type

You can view devices on your network for detailed information, and you can edit that information to specify the device's name and type.

Renaming devices helps you personalize your network map, and quickly identify the devices you're managing. Specifying a device's type makes it easier to identify from the network map by giving it a descriptive icon. For example, when you specify a device as a gaming device, the network map represents it with an image of a game controller.
