Configure communication preferences for SwitchClient

To configure communication preferences for SwitchClient

Navigate to:
- On Windows OS : Edit > Preferences .
- On Mac OS: Enfocus Switch > Preferences .
The User preferences dialog appears.
In the left part of the dialog, click Internal communication.
Set the Server name preference to an appropriate name for this instance of Switch. This name is shown to SwitchClient users to differentiate between multiple Switch instances.
Note that this name is distinct from the host name of the computer that runs Switch. 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 Switch client preference to an appropriate value. SwitchClient expects the port to be entered on the Connect panel when connecting to a new server. Leave this setting at its default value (51008) unless users understand why they need to change it. In previous Switch versions, you had an option to enable or disable secure https protocol ( Secure SwitchClient communication). This option is no longer available: the communication with SwitchClient always uses the secure https protocol.
