How to remotely rename an mbNET or mbNET.rokey device.

Situation: I have an mbNET-device installed on and want to rename it remotely.

Question: How can I do this remotely?

Answer:   You can create a template of the existing device, copy its serial number. Create a new device which is based on the templet, copy the serial number to the new configuration and save the configuration to your PC. Now upload the configuration file (mbconnect24.mbnx), into the mbNET-device.

Remarks: This procedure works only for mbNET and mbNET.rokey. It does not work for the mbNET.mini as this procedure requires a Web2Go connection to the device, which is not supported by the mbNET.mini.

                 You can also use this procedure to port mbNET-devices between virtual server accounts and RSP-V2 accounts. 

Procedure:

1. Login into your mbConnect24 account and create a template of the device that you want to rename.
2. Copy the device’s serial number.
3. Create a new device based on the template and copy the serial number into the configuration of the new device.
4. Download the configuration file (mbconnect24.mbnx) to your PC.
5. Open a web2go connection of the device that you want to rename. Select from the dropdown menu in the right top site of the Quick start page “Administration”.
6. Select the System menu option from the left site of the webpage.
7. Select from the top-bar the option “Configuration”
8. Click on the edit-icon of the “Restore Configuration” option.
9. Select the “Choose File” option and browse to the location where you saved the configuration file (mbconnect24.mbnx).
10. Click on the “Import” field.
11. Click on the download icon in the “Restore Configuration” section.
12. Click on the “Restore” filed to port the mbNET-device.
13.  Close the mbNET-Device webpage and from the portal open the configuration page using the sprocket icon.
14. Click on the wrench-icon at the top right position of the webpage.
15. Select the “Reboot Device” option from the dropdown menu and klick on “OK”. The mbNET-device will now reboot and connect to the mymbConnect24.virtual server account. This can take a couple of minutes.
16. Delete the old device.
