The VTS Internet Client/Server Setup dialog enables you to create server lists that the system uses to identify each VTS/IS in your system, the port on which they listen, whether the port will accept unsecured connections and whether the server is local so that the appropriate socket listener may be started.

(Click title to expand text)
Displays a list of servers you have added to date. This may include all aliases for the computer you are working on as well as all other VTS/IS servers that are part of this license cluster (see VTS/IS License Clusters).
Opens the Add Server dialog, where you can type the connection parameters for a server to add to the list. This includes name or IP address, the port, and a checkbox to indicate whether the server uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.

The local checkbox is configured automatically. If the your network has a working name resolution system, and if the server name can be resolved to an IP address owned by this computer, then Local will be checked.
If your network does not have a working name resolution system, you may enable manual mode so that you are able to set the Local flag yourself. This is done by setting ManualVICServerLists to 1 in Setup.INI.
See: Establishing a List of VTS Internet Servers for an example of adding a server.
Opens the Modify Server dialog, where you can change all parameters of the selected server in the list other than its name. To change a server’s name or IP address, you must delete the old and create a new.
Settings for Port, SSL and Local
Port: Allows you to view the port number of the currently selected server. This will typically be port 80, but the actual port chosen depends on your network configuration.
SSL: Will be checked if this server uses a secure socket layer, as described in SSL Certificates.
Local: Checked if this server allows connections from itself in addition to connections from other workstations
Connection Parameters: Read Timeout, Session Timeout and Mode
These three parameters are used to control how VIC sessions will switch servers in the event that the connection is lost to the one they are currently connected to. Please see: Configuring for Redundant VIC Operation.
