EFI Fiery ES IC-418 - Connecting Command Workstation; Configure the Connection to the Fiery es

Connecting Command WorkStation
To use Command WorkStation, you must configure the connection to the Fiery ES.
The first time you start Command WorkStation, you are prompted to configure the connection to the Fiery ES. You
can also edit the configuration whenever a change to your Fiery ES or network occurs, such as a changed server
name or IP address. If you change Fiery ES Setup information, do so before you reconfigure the connection.
Note: You can connect up to as many as ten different Fiery ES servers in Command WorkStation. If you try to
connect to more than ten, Command WorkStation may stop responding.
The Fiery ES Configuration page contains information you need when configuring the connection, such as the IP
address of the Fiery ES. For TCP/IP installations, you can use the DNS name instead of the IP address. Make sure
that the Fiery ES is registered in a Domain Name Server (DNS) on your network. For more information, contact your
network administrator.

user names if the network administrator has set them as a member of one of the groups in Configure > User
Accounts.
