To validate the entered data and send a request to the server generating a new token, click CONNECT. If the data is successfully validated, the button will change to CONNECTED. In case there are changes to the entered data, click CONNECT again.

The SAVE button saves the selected environment configuration. If you configure one environment and start configuring the other, the button will be locked until all fields in the second environment have been filled out.
