| DS-System connection entry | |
| Primary | Select to indicate if this is the Primary connection. The DS-Client will use the Primary connection first, to connect to the DS-System. All other connection entries are considered alternate entries, to be used only if the primary connection fails. | 
| DS-System address (IP or DNS) | A list of the DS-System’s address(es) that can be used for this connection entry. •	You can enter an IP address or a DNS host name. •	Multiple addresses can be entered, if your service provider provides multiple addresses to connect to the DS-System. | 
| Add / Modify / Delete | Click this button to add, modify, or delete entries from the DS-System address list. | 
| Pre/Post This option can be used to run commands on DS-Client when connection to DS-System is required. This can help in some network situations, like dealing with firewalls. | |
| Pre-Command | Enter a command to run on the DS-Client computer before it connects to the DS-System. Click Test to run the command and view the exit code it returns. | 
| Post-Command | Enter a command to run on the DS-Client computer after it disconnects from the DS-System. Click Test to run the command and view the exit code it returns. | 
| Consider connection failed if pre-exit code | Specify a number. If the Pre-Command returns an exit code that meets this condition, the DS-Client will: •	Not attempt to connect to DS-System. •	Log the error. | 
| Consider Pre/Post individually for each connection | Select to run the specified Pre/Post commands for each activity that requires a connection to DS-System (even if the activities overlap). Clear to run the Pre-Command before the first activity, and to run the Post-Command after the last activity has finished (if the activities overlap). | 
| Delay after executing pre-command | Enter a time (in seconds) to wait after executing the Pre-Command, before DS-Client connects to DS-System. | 
| Delay after executing post-command | Enter a time (in seconds) to wait after executing the Post-Command. No activities will run on DS-Client. |
