    Figure 1. Server Configuration Dialog
    1. Set Connection type to the protocol to be used between the VTunerClient and the VTunerServer.

      Currently, only HTTP is supported.

    2. Set Host(name or IP) to the IP address of the VTunerServer.
    3. Set Port to the port specified during VTunerServer setup.

      For details, see Setting Up VTunerServers.

    4. Click Add to add the VTunerServer to the host list.
      • If an exclamation mark (!) appears to the right of the host information, accessing the VTunerServer fails. In this case, troubleshoot the connection error, and repeat Step d.
      • If a green tick mark (√) appears to the right of the host information, the VTunerServer is accessible.
    5. Click OK to complete the configuration.

Results

  • The host address of the VTunerServer in format <IP address>:<port> is added to the host list of the Server Configuration dialog.

    The flag before the host address means that the VTunerServer is active. Requests will be sent to the active VTunerServer once feature settings are modified on the VTunerClient.

  • The host address of the VTunerServer is displayed in the status bar of the VTunerClient workbench..

    The indicator on the right of the host address shows whether the host is accessible.

    • A green indicator means the VTunerServer is accessible.
    • A red indicator means the VTunerServer is inaccessible.
