Enabling Networking on an Agent

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

You assign the selected name to the agent when you enable networking for each agent PC.

For each agent, the agent name that you specify in the Connect function is the name of that agent host, stored in the network host database. You can find the host name in the name given to the agent icon. The name takes the form Agent [TCP/IP <Host Name> <Port Number>].

For Windows, move the mouse pointer over the agent icon and wait two seconds; the icon name displays.

You must enable networking for each agent PC by selecting the protocol type to be used in the agent window. When you select TCP/IP as the protocol, the port number field is displayed with the default TCP/ IP port number. When you click OK, the selection is accepted if the default port is available.
