Follow the steps below to configure a server to connect to: 

1. Open the Single Connect Desktop Client, click **Connections** on the Login screen and then **Add**. 
   This is also the page where you’ll land if this is the first time you use the Desktop Client.
2. The **Add Server** window opens. Configure Single Connect server settings:
   - Enter Single Connect’s server IP in the **Address**.
   - Change the **Port** value according to the server type. For Single Connect servers with HTTP web GUI, the port should be *80*. For HTTPS web GUI, the port is *443,* and make sure to toggle the **Use SSL** option on.
   - *(Optional)* Toggle the **Make Default Connection **on if you want this server selected by default in the Login screen.
