    http://[HOSTNAME].local/
  - for maintenance and for experimented user, you can access to this stream box using this command:
    ssh locusonus@[HOSTNAME].local (password: locusonus)
  - to access or transfert to/from this stream box via SFTP, use this parameters:
    server: [HOSTNAME].local
    username: root (password:locusonus)

The HOSTNAME should be an internet-style hostname, only the ASCII letters 'a' through 'z' (in a case-insensitive manner, lower case is safer), the digits '0' through '9', and the hyphen ('-'). No other symbols, punctuation characters, or white space are permitted.
The original specification (RFC 952) mandated that hostnames could not start with a digit or with a hyphen, and must not end with a hyphen.
Limit the hostname to 63 characters, which is the length of a DNS label.
