Connecting to the Host System

Establishing a Host Session

Assuming Session Configuration has already been completed, you are now ready to establish a session on the host system.

To establish a host session:

From the MenuBar, select Session:Connect or press the Connect icon, located on the ToolBar.  When connecting to the host, the Session Status Indicator field on the StatusBar will initially display “Resolving address...” and will change to “Connected” once the connection is complete.

Selecting a Host Name from the combo-box from the ToolBar will also attempt to connect to that Host.

For your convenience, the Session:Connect menu item will then change to Session:Disconnect and the Connect button on the ToolBar will become a Disconnect button.

To disconnect the host session:

From the MenuBar, select Session:Disconnect or press the Disconnect icon on the ToolBar.  When disconnecting the Session Status Indicator field on the StatusBar will initially display “Disconnecting...” and will then change to “Disconnected” once the disconnection is complete.
