The node System information offers some information about the ibaPDA server computer. The display of the server name derives from the Windows computer name.

You can add more information:

• Alias

• Location

• Description

The information is stored in the I/O configuration file.

Alias

If needed, you can assign an alias to the computer, which is, for example, more intelligible than the host name. This alias will also be available on client side in the Select server dialogs in the Search and Favorites tabs and hence, helps to identify the desired server.

The other information Location and Description is displayed in the tooltip.

Location

Enter a clear denomination for the location where the computer is installed, e.g. describing text or a standardized location designation (+ ...).

Description

Enter more describing information here, if needed.

Note
	If you transfer an I/O configuration file to another computer in another location, make sure to update the system information in the configuration to avoid confusion.
