Connect

When [Re]Connect is selected from the Connect menu, the Connect dialog in Figure 11 is displayed. This dialog allows you to connect to a server. If the client machine is already connected to a server, initiating connection generates a warning message. The message indicates that the existing connection will be terminated if you continue trying to initiate the new connection. You are prompted to enter the EMP password whenever a connection is attempted.
