When a task requires the movement, processing, or storage
of very large volumes of data, the request can be defined at a workstation
in the normal way, then directed for remote processing on a machine
hosting the Server. If a workstation on your network is configured
as a Server, you must provide the appropriate communication protocols
so that other workstations can transfer process requests to it. Use
the Servers tab to specify communication parameters
for any Servers on your network.
Server Name
Enter
the name of each Server (that is, the name given each Server when
it was configured), with the corresponding connection information,
as follows.
