Connections are typically configured at the end of the installation process, but can be modified at any time. FlashConnect provides an initial server pool connection named default. For more information on server pools see the FlashConnect Administrator’s Guide.
The default Web server host is localhost. You must change the IP address if you require a different Web server host.
