4. In the Server Information panel, accept or change the default values for the following boxes, and then click Next

• Server Name
• Server Port
• Server Data Folder

Note: Server Name would be the local server name or the IP address

5. In the Microsoft SQL Server Information dialog box, enter the remote server values for the following boxes:

• Database Server<\instance_name>
• SQL Port Number
