You can get the hostname from the StellarMate mobile App. Alternatively, you can construct the hostname from StellarMate HotSpot SSID. You should see the SSID when you search for WiFi networks nearby. For example, suppose the SSID is <replaceable>stellarmate</replaceable>. The hostname should be <emphasis><replaceable>stellarmate</replaceable>.local</emphasis>. That is, if you remove the underscore, and append <emphasis>.local</emphasis>, then you will get the unit hostname. You can always use the StellarMate App to change the unit default hostname to the name of your choice. 0079 </para> 0080 <screenshot> 0081 <screeninfo> 0082 Profile Wizard Remote page 0083 </screeninfo> 0084 <mediaobject> 0085 <imageobject> 0086 <imagedata fileref="profile_wizard_remote.png" format="PNG"/> 0087 </imageobject> 0088 <textobject> 0089 <phrase>Profile Wizard Remote page</phrase> 0090 </textobject> 0091 </mediaobject> 0092 </screenshot> 0093 <para> 0094 For the INDI Manager question, always select <emphasis role="bold">Yes</emphasis> since StellarMate Web Manager is running by default on the unit.
