capacity).
To select the server
You can search and register your server(s) either automatically 
or manually.
Automatic server registration
If no server is registered and there is only one server on the 
network, the software searches for servers when opened. When 
only one server is detected on the network, the software registers 
it as the destination. You will need to manually register the 
servers in other cases.
