Select Host dialog box

Selecting Select Remote Host opens the Select Host dialog box.

The Host menu on this dialog box contains a list of hosts to which the IDE has connected, excluding the current host. This list is editable, and you can directly specify a new host name or IP address.

Port is for specifying a remote host server port number. This is pre-populated with the port number found in client.ini. If no port is found, then it uses the default RMI registry port.

If you specify a host name or IP address that is pointing to the current host, then a message opens: The remote host cannot be the same as the current host.

When you click OK, the BOX Manager attempts to connect to the target host.

If the connection is successful, then the Select Host dialog box closes and the target host name/IP address is shown. The panel context is refreshed with the BOX list from the new host.

An error message opens if the connection attempt fails.
