# Create a Connection Manually

If you know the remote server IP address or host name and user's credentials, you can create a connection manually. There are two types of connections:

* **Remote Application Server**. If you establish this type of connection, you will see the applications and desktops published on the Parallels Remote Application Server. You can launch and work with these apps.
* **Standard RDP**. If you choose this type of connection, you will be able to work with the remote server desktop the same way you would if connected via the Microsoft RDP client.

Read on the following topics for more details.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-android-client-guide/v21/create-a-connection/create-a-connection-manually.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
