Address/Hostname field.
2. Type a TCP Port for this connection in the TCP Port field.

Remote User. When a Console user accesses a node, all other
users are disconnected. Multiple Remote Users can access a node
simultaneously.

To use a service account for authentication, select the Use
Service Account Credentials checkbox. Select the service
account to use in the Service Account Name menu.
