The question remained unanswered in firebird-support, so I am trying it here. Basically I'm asking how can a client connect via XNET to a firebird server using non-default IpcName, for example "Firebird4".

XNET is not mentioned in the firebird.conf comments on IpcName, nor IpcName is mentioned in README,xnet. Still I believe the two are connected. Am I wrong?

  You are correct, IpcName is a name for "transport channel" used by XNET.
XNET is a name for current implementation of local protocol.
Before FB2 there was another implementation, named IPC

With multiple Firebird installation on Windows it is necessary to change the IpcName in each firebird.conf, but it seems only the one with the default value is accessible via XNET. Or maybe there is some way to give the modified values to the client so it can connect to the others too?

  fbclient also reads firebird.conf, if it is found\accessible.

Could someone please explain how this is supposed to work? What am I missing?

  Both client and server reads IpcName from firebird.conf. FIREBIRD is default 
name
