a. If the Server Name configuration option is not visible, press the soft key adjacent to the arrow symbol by Server IP Address until Server Name appears.

b. Position the blinking cursor on the character you want to change. To do this, press the soft key adjacent to the arrow by the name to move the cursor left or right until it appears on the character you want to change.

c. Select the desired character by pressing the + or - keys to scroll through upper- case letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. Repeat for each character you want to change.

7. To save the changes, press the Enter (Options) key. The following choices appear on the generator’s display:

To save the changes, choose the Yes item by pressing the adjacent soft key.

To exit without saving the changes, choose the No item.

To return to the Network Server screen without saving the changes, choose the Back item.

Working with the Virtual Front Panel

The Virtual Front Panel enables you to perform remotely the same tasks as you would with the generator’s front panel. To use the Virtual Front Panel, you must have a PC connected to a generator either through an Ethernet LAN or locally through an Ethernet crossover cable connected between the Ethernet ports on the generator and the PC. These configurations are described in more detail in the User's Guide. You must also have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.2 or later installed on your PC. You can download the JRE from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html.

To use the Virtual Front Panel, you must know the IP address of the generator and configure it with an IP address that is compatible with the IP address of your PC.
