PowerSWITCH
To setup a client connection:
- Give PowerSWITCH a meaningful name so it can be recognized easily in SWITCHclient
- Setup users and groups that will have access to PowerSWITCH submit points and checkpoints
- Setup SWITCHclient to connect with PowerSWITCH
Detailed instructions:
Give PowerSWITCH a name
- Open the PowerSWITCH preferences dialog window and select the 'Application Data' category
- Enter the name of your choice in the 'Server Name' property. This is the PowerSWITCH server name that will be shown in SWITCHclient
Setup users and groups
- Switch PowerSWITCH to the 'Users' view
- Create one or more new groups and define access rights (view jobs, view submit points and view checkpoints)
- Add as many users as you need and fill out all information. Make sure your users are members of the correct group
Setup the SWITCHclient
- Launch SWITCHclient on a computer in your network, note that both PowerSWITCH and SWITCHclient should be running within the same internal network
- On the Connections category, use the Add button to create a new connection
- In this new connection, fill out the Host name or IP address of the PowerSWITCH computer
- Enter the port (if you didn't change the port in the PowerSWITCH preferences, use 51008, which is the default port)
- Enter a user name and password of a user that is defined in PowerSWITCH
- Press the Apply button to save your changes and connect to PowerSWITCH
- Once connected you'll be able to see submit points and checkpoints you are allowed to see and to submit & check jobs.
