By flipping the switch to the "on" position, the user establishes a connection to the relevant server or network, enabling them to access the associated server. Conversely, toggling the switch to the "off" position disconnects the user from the network, suspending their access.
The user joins the network by clicking the toggle switch to the “on” position, you will have access to a monitor that measures the data transfer rate of the client/server device. This monitor provides real-time information about the rate at which data is being transferred to and from the client/server device.

It enables you to monitor the responsiveness and stability of the client/server device's data connections in real-time.

Additional Information :
Additionally, if the user initially logs in through the server mode and then attempts to log in as a client, they will encounter a prompt requesting them to reinstall the application in order to access the client mode.
This prompt serves as a notification, informing the user that in order to switch from the server mode to the client mode, a fresh installation of the application is required.
Settings Page:
In the settings menu, you will find the following options that you can configure according to your preferences:
Theme: The "Theme" option allows you to choose the visual appearance of the application. You can select from "Light," "Dark," or "System" themes. Choosing the "Light" theme will apply a light-colored interface, while selecting the "Dark" theme will provide a darker interface. If you choose the "System" theme, the application's appearance will be based on the system-wide theme set on your device.
Launch Options: Under the "Launch Options" configuration, you have two choices:
a. Start App: If you select the "Start App" configuration, the application will automatically start during device startup. However, the client will not be connected to the network by default. You would need to manually establish the connection after the application launches.
b. Restore Connection: If you choose the "Restore Connection" configuration, the application will start automatically during device startup. Additionally, it will automatically establish the connection back to the server upon startup. This option ensures that the client is connected to the network without requiring any manual intervention.
These settings allow you to customize the visual theme, choose the application's behavior when closed, and determine how the application launches and connects to the server. You can adjust these options based on your preferences and requirements.
