Configuring the server

Take any existing project, perhaps the one from the basic training or let the Project Wizard create a new project.

Attention

The Project Wizard uses local variables.

Under Internal Variable/Calculation set the variables to Network so that our example will work correctly.

In the Editor you will find the network settings in the project properties in the section Network.

Activate the property Net active.

Now all the other properties of this section are available and we can go on configuring the server.

Info

You will find a more detailed explanation of the single properties in the property help. If it is not displayed, open the context menu of the properties window and select Description.

In the property Server, enter the name of the PC which has the connection to the hardware.

Attention

The IP address is not sufficient here! It really has to be the name of the computer.

You either can select the server from the list opened with the button or type it in by hand.

If the development station, on which you created the project, is the Runtime server at the same time, the configuration of the server now is complete. At the moment we leave the other properties unchanged.
