You can name the controller in the 'Network Elements' form. This only allows 9 characters and no spaces or special characters. HUNTER would be ok though.

The 'Network Elements' form names the ICP yes but the name is not presented when you are logged on. the ICP IP address shows instead. Which tells me that the name assigned under 'Network Elements' form is cosmetic. I have also used the System IP Properties - Host Name, and I dont achieve what I want as well.
Maybe you need to explain further.

Network elements Name is used by the systems to talk to each other. The name should alsways start with a Capital letter with all other letters being lower case. HUNTER is wrong, Hunter is by design.

The host name in the IP config form sounds like what you are looking for but it doesn't stop there, you must also define the Domain in the same form.
