Configure FactoryTalk Linx server properties

Follow these steps to configure general information for a new server.
To configure the general properties of a
FactoryTalk Linx
server
  1. In the application
    Explorer
    , right-click
    FactoryTalk Linx
    , and click
    Properties.
  2. In the
    General
    tab, type a
    Name
    and
    Description
    for the data server.
    Add a
    FactoryTalk Linx
    Instance02 Server to have more tags, data clients (for example, HMI clients), and/or controllers without affecting
    FactoryTalk Linx
    Instance01 Server.
    Local
    FactoryTalk View SE
    or
    FactoryTalk View ME
    application doesn't support
    FactoryTalk Linx
    Instance02 Server.
  3. By default,
    localhost
    is selected as the
    Computer hosting the
    FactoryTalk Linx
    server
    .
    If you are running
    FactoryTalk Linx
    with a network (distributed) application, you may configure the name of a different server workstation name.
    For local
    FactoryTalk View SE
    or
    FactoryTalk View ME
    applications,
    FactoryTalk Linx
    must execute on the local machine, so this property cannot be changed.
  4. Click
    OK
    to save the information.
