The remaining fields must not be filled in as this small network does not have a
DNS server or a default gateway.
Connections
Network connections can be defined or configured in the screen displayed below.
The logical drives can either refer to a network connection or to an internal drive,
i.e. a disk drive, an ATA card etc.
With internal drives you need to enter the drive letter and the required path if
necessary:
- Diskette drive: A:
- ATA card: C:\TEMP
With external drives (network connections) you need to specify the full network
path (\\Computer name\Sharename\Path name); the path name is optional:
\\R4711\Workpieces\Templates
\\R4812\Workpieces
The softkey designation consists of two columns so that you can enter a text for
each line of the softkey.

The names you specify must be available on the network computer.\\R1234 refers
to the network computer in our example. The share name WORKPIECES must be
specified on any hard disk drive on this computer.
Server names
In order to assign symbolic names to the computers, the relevant stations to be
addressed within the network must be entered so that their names can be resolved:
Example
Server name:
192.168.0.20 R2345
192.168.0.21 R2346
With these settings computers R2345 and R2346 can be addressed by means of
their symbolic names.
