Server Name
This field displays the name that has been assigned to the Serial Server. A new Server Name of up to 16 characters can be entered. If more than one Serial Server is connected on the LAN it is recommended that a new name be assigned to each. When the ESP Manager finds a Serial Server on the LAN it displays the server name and IP Address allowing the user to distinguish between Serial Servers.
