Description
Type a description for the data server. For example, the description can consist of the
server’s location, the name of a contact person or number to contact in case of failure, or
version information.
Computer hosting the RSLinx Enterprise server
Type the name of the computer where the RSLinx Enterprise data server is running. To
find and select a computer, click the Browse button.
You can change the name of the computer hosting the data server, only in a network
application. In a local application, you can only add one RSLinx Enterprise data server,
which must be located on the same computer as the application.
Setting up RSLinx Enterprise data server redundancy
To minimize disruptions to clients in the event that the RSLinx Enterprise server becomes
unavailable or fails, set up redundancy for the data server. This option is only available for
network applications.
In the Redundancy tab of the RSLinx Enterprise server’s Properties dialog box, specify
the name of the secondary (or backup) data server, and whether FactoryTalk View should
switch back to the primary data server when it becomes available again.
