**Switch mode**, when set, will attempt to communicate with the setting defined in Services-SwitchDefault. If unable to communicate successfully, NetServer will switch to the other setting option (Local or Remote) and attempt to communicate again.

See the [NetServer Core reference][1] for details about handling this programmatically.
