Connecting a Node to the Server
=====================================================

**Initialize node**

On a :mod:`Windows` command prompt enter the following command:

	.. code-block:: bat
	
		SageNodeConsole_x64.exe nodeName {server_IP_address} {port_number} *{scheduler_mode}
		
On a :mod:`Linux` terminal enter the following command:

	.. code-block:: bat
	
		SageNodeConsole nodeName {server_IP_address} {port_number} *{scheduler_mode}

*scheduler_mode* is optional and accepted mode values depend of the current CPU load:
	
	- "high" -  Scheduler runs with sub millisecond accuracy and yields the processor between runs of the scheduler. Running in high mode is not recommended for battery powered devices.
	- "medium" (Default) - Scheduler runs every 1-2 milliseconds.
	- "low" - Scheduler runs every 15 milliseconds.



To verify if a SAGE Node is operational, check the prompt window and confirm that the following text is displayed
	 ``Connected to SAGE runtime using ip address {server_IP_address}:{port_number}``.
