## Network Hostname
Rename each device from the default "Photonvision" to a unique hostname (e.g., "Photon-OrangePi-Left" or "Photon-RPi5-Back"). This helps differentiate multiple coprocessors on your network, making it easier to manage them. Navigate to the settings page and scroll down to the network section. You will find the hostname is set to "photonvision" by default, this can only contain letters (A-Z), numeric characters (0-9), and the minus sign (-).

The "team number" field will accept (in addition to a team number) an IP address or hostname. This is useful for testing PhotonVision on the same computer as a simulated robot program;
you can set the team number to "localhost", and PhotonVision will send data to the network tables in the simulated robot.
