Exceed Connection Server Login Area

Host  Type the name of the host to which you want to connect. If the administrator has specified a host port other than the default (5500), type a colon (:) and the port number after the host name (hostname:portnumber).

User ID  Type your user ID for the specified host. How you specify your user ID depends on the operating system and the autentication method of the Exceed Connection Server (host) you are logging in to:

If the same account name exists locally and on the domain, the local account holder must differentiate by entering PCname\username or username@PCname

You can also use the @%USERNAME% macro, which is replaced with the logged-in user's Windows login name. This is useful if you intend to save the connection settings in a connection document (.eod) and distribute it to other users.

Password  Type your password for the specified host.

Configuration Area

This area lets you select and manage Xstart files (.xs) as well as Xconfig files (.cfg). Open the respective drop-down list to view the available Xstart and Xconfig files, and then make your selection. File names are case sensitive on UNIX but not Windows platforms.

Typically, the Exceed onDemand system administrator provides and maintains one or more global Xconfig files with administrator-designated settings.

You can click the browse buttons (...) to open Xstart or Xconfig file management dialog boxes, which let you select, create, and edit Xstart or Xconfig files, respectively.

Note: 
  You cannot modify settings in global (administrator-defined) Xstart or Xconfig files, but you can copy any of these files, and then edit and save the copies as personal Xstart or Xconfig files with unique names.
