| Physical execution server | Select this option to specify a physical machine as execution server. |
| Host or IP-address |

| Port | Specifies the port of the computer defined in the Host or IP-address field on which the execution server listens. The default port is 19124. |

Check this check box if you want the application server to connect to the execution server through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The default SSL port is 19125. If you selected to use a proxy server for the location to which this execution server is assigned, you must check Use SSL with port 443. |
| Responsiveness timeout [s] |
For virtual execution servers: Type a responsiveness timeout in seconds in the Responsiveness Timeout field. If the execution server on the cloud provider is not accessible for the specified time, the VM is shut down. Enter 0 if you do not want to shut down the VM in such a case (this will require you to manually abort the test run if the VM can never be reached). For physical execution servers: Type a responsiveness timeout in seconds in the Responsiveness Timeout field. If the execution server is not accessible for the specified time, an email is sent to the Silk Central administrators. Enter 0 if you do not want Silk Central to send emails in such a case. |
