6.8.4 Set Box ID
This function changes the Box ID that identifies the device in user system.
"Box ID" is a unique name to identify a device. The initial status of Box ID is the device ID which
is created by combining device information (series name, model name, serial number, etc.). Box
ID is used as information to identify the device from applications connected to the device, or used
as copy source/copy destination information for remote advanced copy. However, if you upgrade
or replace the device, the existing Box ID (device ID) which is based on the device information
will change with the device change. Therefore, there is a risk that the backup data saved in the
previous device cannot be used, so it is necessary to reconfigure the user system after the
device is upgraded or replaced.
[Set Box ID] is a function to change the device ID to a name which is unique in the user system.
When the device is upgraded or replaced, change the "Box ID" of a new device to the same
name as the previous device name. By changing the Box ID, reconfiguring user system becomes
unnecessary, and the new device is also able to access the backup data.
