Before you can connect to an instance of Switch with SwitchClient, the system administrator needs to prepare Switch 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
User needs to obtain the following information from the system administrator:
The host name (or IP address) of the computer on which Switch is installed.
The network port on which Switch expects client connections (usually the default value of 51008).
Username and password.
Enter this information in SwitchClient when connecting to the Switch server for the first time.
