3. On the Server Plus Station, select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager >
Station Configuration from the Windows taskbar.
4. In the Station Configuration dialog, select the name of the old PC and click
Remove.
5. In the Station Configuration dialog, click Add.
6. Enter the computer name of the new Client SC Station PC (see “Determining
computer names” on page 50), and click OK. The station name is not case-
sensitive. Do not include a domain name or any other characters that are not
part of the computer name.
7. On the new Client SC Station PC, install the Client SC Station software (see
“Installing Client SC Station software” on page 54).

If the new Server Plus Station PC has a different computer name, all active alerts that were
in the Alert Viewer on the old PC will be lost. In addition, you will be required to run the
Server Plus Connect utility on all Client SC Stations to connect to the new Server Plus
Station (see
“Changing a Client SC Station to access a different Server Plus Station” on page
