Ventrilo - Server
Select
Ventrilo uses human readable names when selecting the desired server to connect to. This pull down is used for selecting which server definition that you want to edit its settings for.
New
This button is used for creating a new server definition. When pressed a new window will open where you can enter the name of your choice for the server that you're going to define in the IP, PORT and PASSWORD fields. These server names will be displayed on the programs main window under the "Server" pull down list. The reason for the name is that its easier to associate a name to a specific server rather then trying to remember what an IP number actually points to.
When using this button the IP/DNS and PASSWORD fields will default to empty and the PORT number will be set to the programs default value.
Clone
This button is similar to the "New" button in that it will create a new server definition, except that it will copy the IP/DNS, PASSWORD and PORT number from the server being displayed in the "Select" pull down list.
Delete
This button will delete the server definition currently displayed in the "Select" list box.
Hostname or IP
In this input field you need to enter either an IP address (like 192.168.0.10) or a a DNS Hostname (like ventrilo.myserver.com). Contact the administrator of the Ventrilo server if you do not know what the IP number or domain name is.
Port
In this input field you need to enter the port number that the Ventrilo server is listening on. Contact the administrator of the Ventrilo server if you do not know what the port number is.
Password
If the server you are defining requires a password then this is where you need to enter it. Login passwords and their usage will vary from one server to another and is entirely under the control of the servers administrator. Contact the administrator of the Ventrilo server for details about what the password field should be set to.
Default channel
This option allows you to configure a default channel to jump into when the connection is established. This option also applies when auto-reconnecting unless you have the "Restore last active channel" option enabled in the Setup Network area.
