Determining computer names
Computer names are needed to identify the Server Plus Station and the connected
Client SC Stations during distributed system installation and configuration (see
“Configuring a Distributed System” on page 58). Due to a Windows networking
requirement, station names must be 15 bytes or less. Please note that some
languages have characters that use more than 1 byte.
To find and record a computer name (do not use IP addresses):
1. Right-click the Windows desktop My Computer icon and select Properties.
2. Record the name of each computer that will be part of your distributed system
(see the Computer Name Log Example below).
Table 1: Computer name log example
Note
Computer names and DNS names must be the same. “Localhost” cannot be used in a
distributed system. Do not include “\\” in any computer names.
