To connect to the SCADA server, you need to enter the user, password, server address and port information into the client software. You need to use "User Manager" to create a new user. When this information is entered correctly, an encrypted connection is established between the server and the client software, and the project main screen sent from the server is displayed on the client.

The "page selector" on the left side of the client screen also shows shortcuts for pages that are defined as "SCADA Tab" in the editor. The appearance and order of the shortcuts shown here can be set on the editor. Besides these shortcuts, there are shortcuts with alarm panel and web view panel.
