### **Set General Connector Information**  
 

Give your connector a logical name (let’s keep it simple).  
For the *Host*, select the appropriate option from this table:

| **Cluster** | **Host** |
| --- | --- |
| Australia East | `api.aus-east.ops.center` |
| Canada Central | `api.ca-central.ops.center` |

Click on create connector at the top and  just like that, your connector is created and ready to be used. Now it is time to take the next step and **set up authentication**. For that, you need to navigate to your **Operations Center** system. Follow the next lesson to learn how.
