Connection Settings

Configure the addresses ARCHICAD can use to connect to the Server.

https://helpcenter.graphisoft.com/wp-content/uploads/bimcloud/30_bimcloudmanager/Connections.png 

Primary address (required): This address uniquely identifies the server. The BIMcloud Manager uses this address to access the server.

Alternative addresses and lookup order (optional): ARCHICAD will select the most suitable one to connect

See Connection Settings to learn more about how to set up connections.

BIMcloud Manager automatically tests the addresses while entering them and provides feedback about the result.

You can also enter a non-working address, because it might work from a different location.

Changes cannot be saved if one of the entered addresses points to a different BIMcloud.

If you want to add the server computer’s current IP address or computer name to the list, click Show current addresses and pick one of the addresses.

Adjust the lookup order of the addresses using the up/down arrows. Use the delete icon to remove an address or the refresh icon to test it again.
