If it is certain that a computer is to be used as the Client only in the distributed systems (more than 30 computers), then it is to be specified on the settings panel of the corresponding Computer object. In this case software operation will be optimized.

Role-assignment is performed as follows:

1. Go to the Hardware tab of the System settings dialog box (1).
   
2. Select the Computer corresponding to the Client (2).
3. Set the Use as client checkbox checked (3).
4. Click the Apply button (4).

The role of the computer in a distributed system is displayed in color in the object tree:

• The current Server operated locally is highlighted in green.
  
• The Clients are highlighted in blue.
  
• The other remote Servers in the system are highlighted in black.

The role is now assigned to the computer in the distributed system.
