SetRobotName

This command allows you to change the robot’s name. The command is useful when multiple robots are connected on the same network. The SetRobotName command also changes the hostname of the robot in the case of a DHCP connection. The robot’s name is displayed in the upper-right corner of the MecaPortal, as well as in the browser tab hosting the web interface. You can also retrieve the robot’s name with the command GetRobotName.
