Before you can connect to a PowerSwitch instance with SwitchClient, your system administrator needs to prepare PowerSwitch for use with SwitchClient. This includes:
Designing and activating one or more flows that will process the jobs submitted by and monitored from SwitchClient.
Configuring user access rights and communication settings.
For more information about these tasks, system administrators should refer to setting up communication, designing a flow, managing users and configuring access rights
You need to obtain the following information from your system administrator:
The host name (or IP address) of the computer on which PowerSwitch is installed.
The network port on which PowerSwitch expects client connections (usually the default value of 51008).
Your user name and password.
You'll need to enter this information in SwitchClient when connecting to the Switch server for the first time.
