Computer name
Be aware that, while the Description field can be freely defined to describe the sta-
tion, the Name field must correspond to the network name of each PC: right click
on 'My Computer' on the Desktop, and then select Properties and Computer Name
(Fig 23).
Note that, in case the 'Full computer name' includes more levels separated by
dots, you should consider only the first of them, e.g. 'PCar4.it001' becomes 'PCar4'
for the MK8000 'Station name'.
Fig 23 Finding out the computer name
Note: In the MK8000 system  Physical Configuration  Stand-Alone, the Station
name (localhost) and IP address (127.0.0.1) fields are already set for this configu-
ration (Fig 24). Do not change this setting.
