In the above panel, Environments has three known library server names:
•The first line identifies the File I/O library access. Only one development environment can be connected to a File I/O-based library at a time.
•‘192.168.10.131’ identifies the server address of a machine which is running the library server program EMSRV which allows many development images to access and share a library.
•‘build’ identifies the name of a server machine which is converted to an IP address using standard Domain Name Server (DNS) lookup
