Enter the Name and Protocol of your new session and the Connection subcategories will change based on your chosen protocol. To complete your setup, click on the subcategory for the Protocol you chose and enter the required information. Your Protocol setting options are SSH1, SSH2, Telnet, Telnet/SSL, RLogin, Serial, and TAPI.
