Select your View Connection Server from the Address drop-down menu, or enter the server host name or IP address.

Port Specify the port number, or leave blank to use the default port for View Connection Server.
Use Secure Connection (SSL) Select to use a secure (SSL) connection to protect sensitive corporate information and ensure that all connections are completely encrypted. Your View administrator might have configured View Connection Server to always use a secure connection, even if you select a nonsecure connection.
Always connect to this server at startup Select to connect directly to the current instance of View Connection Server when you start View Client. Select this option if you always connect to the same View Connection Server. If deselected, you must enter or select a View Connection Server when you start View Client.

You can also supply the port and SSL options by typing them into the address field directly. For a non-SSL connection, type http://<URL>[:port number]. For an SSL connection, type https://<URL>[:port number].
