Managing server connections

2. Click Setup.

The Setup Server Connections dialog box opens.

3. Select a server and click Top, Move Up, Move Down, or Bottom to reorder the list.

You may want to move the servers you access most frequently to the top of the list.

When the search is complete, the Available Surround SCM Servers dialog box opens. To find servers with an IPv6 address, select Include IPv6 in scan and click Refresh. Select an available server and click Add to create a connection without manually entering the address or port number. Enter a unique name for the server and click OK. Click Close when you finish adding available servers.
