[hpsdr] Hermes Host ID

[Alfred Green]

With the discussion of the improved visualization with the new release I 
couldn't resist the urge to get a new Hermes box. Setting it up was 
easy; a couple of stumbles were resolved thanks to recent postings on 
this list. Thanks!

It connects to my LAN ok, and PSDR 3.0.1 controls it just fine. The only 
niggle I have is it identifies with a blank Host Name. When I look at 
the DHCP list on my router it is useful to have a descriptive name as 
the MAC address, while unique, is cryptic. Most devices have something 
like Computer Name showing. I didn't see anything during the Hermes 
setup which would allow me to set it. I am using FW v2.3.

This of course has no impact on the operation of the unit, which as far 
as my limited use has performed wonderfully. It is just a housekeeping 
issue as I have 20+ devices on my LAN and it is sometimes nice to get a 
quick look at where everything is.

On a related note, I was very pleased with the service from Apache Labs. 
I placed the order online late Monday afternoon and had it in my hands 
by Thursday morning, and on the air a couple of hours later.
