   • On Linux, start a terminal and execute pmc-standalone .
2. In the Parallels Management Console main window, click Connect to Parallels Server .
3. In the Parallels Server Login dialog, specify the parameters to be used to log in to the Parallels server:
   • In the Server list, type the IP address or hostname of the Parallels server.
