#### 15.2.1 The remote configuration dialog

In order to configure remote servers, you need to open the remote configuration dialog. A predefined configuration can also be set when installing GPS, using xml files. See Defining a remote server, and See Defining a remote path translation, for more information.

The remote configuration dialog is opened via the remote view. You can open it using the menu `Tools->Views->Remote`.

Once the Remote View is opened, click on `Settings` to open the servers configuration dialog.

This dialog is composed of two parts:

- The left part of the dialog contains the list of configured servers, identified by their nickname. Three buttons allow you to create, reinitialize or delete a server.
- The right part of the dialog contains the selected server's configuration.

You need first to create a new server. For this, click on the button `Add Server` on the bottom left part of the dialog. Enter a nickname identifying the server you want to connect to (this is not necessarily the network name of this server). Note that this nickname identifies the server and therefore must be unique. This new server is then automatically selected, and the right part of the dialog shows its configuration, which is empty for the most part.
