Creating a New Connection

  1. Select Create a new StarTeam connection and click Next.
  2. Type a unique, easy-to-remember description in the Server description text box. The server description is not case-sensitive and can contain colons ( : ).
  3. Type the computer name or IP address in the Server address text box. See your administrator for the server address, protocol, and endpoint information.
  4. Type the endpoint (TCP/IP port number) associated with the protocol in the TCP/IP endpoint text box.
  5. Click Test Connection.
  6. Choose to specify any of the following optional settings:
    • Check the Save Password option to enable the User Name and Password text boxes.
    • Select an Encryption type to encrypt data transferred between your workstation and the server. Encryption protects files and other project information from being read by unauthorized parties over unsecured network lines. The encryption types are ordered (top to bottom) based on speed. Each type is slower, but safer, than the type that precedes it.
    • Check the option to Compress transferred data if you want to use compression.
  7. Click Next when you are finished.
