Enable/Disable New Connection

The new connection should appear in the “Remote Connections” dialog list with a checkbox next to its name. Use this check box to enable/disable the connection. Click OK.

The new connection will appear on the Managed Tools tab, “Remote Connections” list. The name will be grayed out as you cannot select to enable/disable the connection here; you must go to the Remote Connections dialog. Click Manage Remote Connections to open this dialog again.

​

Note: If a server connection is enabled but the server is powered off or otherwise not available, there will be a 20-30 second delay before notification of server not found/not available. Therefore disable any connections for which you know the server is not available to avoid delays.
