Remote (remote.js) is the module responsible for managing connections to rippled servers.

/* Loading ripple-lib with Node.js */
var Remote = require('ripple-lib').Remote;

/* Loading ripple-lib in a webpage */
// var Remote = ripple.Remote;

var remote = new Remote({
  // see next section for available options
  trusted:        true,
  local_signing:  true,
  local_fee:      true,
  servers: [
    {
        host:    's1.ripple.com'
      , port:    443,
      , secure:  true
    }
  ]
});

remote.connect(function() {
  /* remote connected */
});
