Adding Servers to the Network Configuration Settings Dialog

Use the steps below if you need to add a server to either the Datasource Listing tab or the DNS Services tab. The steps are the same for both.

  1. Open the ProjectWise Network Configuration Settings dialog.

    (See Opening the ProjectWise Network Configuration Settings Dialog.)

  2. Select the Datasource Listing tab or the DNS Services tab as needed.
    • Use the Datasource Listing tab to establish a TCP connection to a particular server, in order to get a list of datasources from that server.
    • Use the DNS Services tab if you need to direct the client to a server from which the client can get server name resolution information.
  3. On the selected tab, enter values for Name and Hostname (and Port if needed) and click Add.
    • Name is just a descriptive name for the ProjectWise server. For example, Production Server
    • Hostname is the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the computer where the ProjectWise server is installed. For example, server.domain.com
    • Port is the specified ProjectWise server's listener port number, which is 5800 by default. You only need to enter a port number here if the listener port on the server has been changed to something other than 5800. Otherwise you can leave it blank.
  4. Click Save.
