RSLinx Enterprise server’s name, and then click Properties.

type the name of the production computer, or click Browse to find and select the

Renew data server shortcuts, topics, and device paths
After restoring RSLinx data servers in the application, and specifying the names of their
new host computers, renew or verify the topics, shortcuts, and device paths associated
with each data server, as needed.
If you are restoring redundant data servers, then the device paths must be confirmed and
reapplied for both the primary and the secondary server.
To renew RSLinx Enterprise device paths
1. Open the restored application in the FactoryTalk Administration Console. To learn
how to do this, see “To change the RSLinx Enterprise server computer name” above.
2. In the Explorer window, expand the data server (RSLinx Enterprise), and then double-
click Communications Setup.
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.
