Using the Server Configuration

Computer Network Scan

The first step in configuring the server is to identify all computers in your network environment. The Setup Wizard, available via the Network Scan Wizard button on main toolbar, will attempt to find all computers in a given network range. This is useful if you don't want to manually enter each computer attached to your network.
