Connecting Server and Usage Environment

After starting server and usage environment of CB the first step is to establish the connection between them. This is done by selecting menu item Connect CB server from the Server menu of CBworkbench. In the appearing interaction window the host name and port number of the CBserver must be specified and as a result the connection is established.

Example:

1. start server on machine alpha with port number 5000 (see above)
2. start usage environment on machine beta (see above)
3. connect usage environment on beta to the server on alpha by selecting Connect CB server and specifying as hostname alpha and port number 5000.

Whenever a new connection from a usage environment to a CBserver is created a possibly existing 'old' one is closed. Please note that the machines alpha and beta can be located anywhere in the Internet. You can also start both processes on the same machine.
