> You can alter individual server properties from the Properties dialog box including General, Network, Information, and Connections. The General tab allows you to change the server name, server type and the icon that will be used to display the server in the Remote Console Switch Software. You may also assign the server to a site, location or folder. The Network tab lets you set a browser URL for that server if you want to launch a browser to the server’s web server instead of launching a Viewer session. The Information tab allows you to enter information about the server including a server description, contact information and any comments you might wish to add. Lastly, the Connections tab displays the physical connection path that is used to access this server and the connection type, such as video.
