Properties dialog box for each data server, specify the name of the server’s host computer.
Then, renew RSLinx shortcuts, topics, and device paths, as needed. For details, see
"Renew data server shortcuts, topics, and device paths" on page 73.
For information about setting up other data server properties, click Help in the server’s
Properties dialog box, or see the product documentation.
To change the RSLinx Enterprise server computer name

Administration Console.
2. In the Select FactoryTalk Directory dialog box, select Network, and then click OK.
The first time you open an application after relocating a data server, if the server does not load,
you should still be able to open the Properties dialog box and change the host computer name.
After the computer name is updated, the server should load as expected.
