1.Choose Connect from the File Menu or click Connect to server [ ]

2.In the Connect to Server dialog box, type the complete host name (server.domain.com) of the system that is the designated host for the SSH tunnel (the SSH delegate machine).

3.Optionally, in the Optional Port box, specify a port number through which information can pass from the SSH delegate to the node agent.

4.Check the box labeled Use SSH Options.The Connect to Server dialog expands to reveal required SSH attributes.5.Type the IP address External IP) of the SSH delegate.

6.Type the port number (External Port) on the SSH delegate through which information can pass from the SSH delegate machine to the console.

7.Type the port number (Internal Port) listened to on the console side that can accept information from the SSH delegate machine.

8.Click Connect.

After a few moments, the running JVM for each application identified should appear in the console main window pane marked with one of the following symbols: or .
