PlantScape Server and Client Configuration Guide 319
Configuring Stations for Microsoft Internet Explorer
Many Station displays use Microsoft Internet Explorer. On a redundant network,
Internet Explorer must be able to resolve the server names to a hostname or IP
addresses. The configuration steps are:
On all computers running Station other than the servers:
1 Open the hosts file in %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc.
2 Add the server aliases exactly as in the host file on the server.
Example For redundant servers called hsserva and hsservb where hsserva has IP
addresses 200.0.0.0 and 200.0.10.0 and hsservb has IP addresses
200.0.0.1 and 200.0.10, you would add the following lines to the hosts
file:
To check the server name, choose Start

on the server. The server name is displayed in the Full Computer Name field of
the Network Identification tab.
200.0.0.0 hsserva hsserva0
200.0.0.1 hsservb hsservb0
200.0.10.0 hsserva1
200.0.10.1 hsservb1
