Changing the name of the host computer

In the General tab of the HMI Server Properties dialog box, the name of the computer
running the HMI server is shown beside the text box Computer hosting the server.

To change to the name of the host computer, a copy of the HMI server must exist on the
computer that will be the new host.

Choosing how the server starts

You can set up an HMI server to start on demand, when the first client connects to it, or to
start when the operating system initializes.

Starting the HMI server when the first client connects to it

An HMI server set up to start on demand is loaded when the first client gains access to the
HMI server project. The server is unloaded when the last client connected to it is closed.
