Configure communication preferences

In the PowerSwitch Internal Communication preferences dialog:

Set the "Server name" preference to an appropriate name for this instance of PowerSwitch. This name is shown to SwitchClient users to differentiate between multiple PowerSwitch instances.
Note that this name is distinct from the host name of the computer that runs PowerSwitch. SwitchClient expects the host name to be entered on the connect panel, but displays the application's server name in its various data tables.
Set the "Port for PowerSwitch client" preference to an appropriate value. SwitchClient expects the port to be entered on the Connections panel when connecting to a new server. Leave this setting at its default value (51008) unless you understand why you need to change it.
Set the "Secure SwitchClient communication" preference to Yes if you want communication with SwitchClient to use the secure https protocol (introducing a performance overhead of approximately 20%); otherwise leave it at the default value No. SwitchClient automatically adjusts to this preference setting.
