Network - server name

Use

Procedure

Enter the name with which the server can be called in your network. A server can have several names with which, for example, the type of link (FDDI, Ethernet, Token Ring, etc.) can be controlled,. Furthermore, the server name depends on whether you are using "yellow pages" or "DNS". You can check the server name with the program saphostbyname.
