* All done, clisk the "General" tab in the Serverlist, then press the "Save" button, then either click "Connect" to connect to the ZNC network in the current open server window, or "Connect in a new window" to connect to the ZNC network in a new server window.

h2. Connecting by direct command

Check the [[/server]] wiki for a complete overview of command parameters. Two quick example:

# *Non SSL*: <pre>/server -m you.znc.net:5708 -p login:password</pre>
# *SSL*: <pre>/server -m you.znc.net:+5708 -p login:password</pre>

To connect using *SSL*, add *<notextile>+</notextile>* to port prefix or use the parameter *-ssl*.

Ps: for no specified parameters like nick (*-i*), username (*-u*), realname (*-r*), etc, *AdiIRC* will use the default values set in [[/quickconnect]].

h2. Connecting by script

<pre>on *:start: {
  server you.znc.net:5708 -p login:password
}</pre>
