Select the option you want to use to create device names, and select a package that will be embedded in the device agent (if any).

Options

This section enables you to select the option you want to use for creating device names.

Prompt device user to enter a device name The device agent will prompt the user to enter a device name when it is first started.
Use the Device ID as device name The device ID will be used as the device name.

Since the device ID is a cryptic string that is not very readable, we generally do not recommend this option.

Customize device name Enter a combination of text and macros that will be used to create device names.

For information about the macros that are available for naming devices, see Device Naming Macros.

Initial Package

This section provides the option of specifying a package that will be embedded within the device agent installer. The package will be automatically executed when the agent in installed on the device.

Select a package name from the list, or click Add Package to open the Add Package dialog box in which you can select a package.
