Enabling Network Access to the Classic Agent

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

For distributed testing, you can install the Classic Agent on a remote Windows machine and access it from a machine on which Silk Test Classic is installed. To enable the remote access to the Classic Agent, perform the following actions:

  1. Start the Classic Agent on the remote Windows machine. For example, click (in Microsoft Windows 7) Start > Programs > Silk > Silk Test > Tools > Silk Test Classic Agent or (in Microsoft Windows 10) Start > Silk > Silk Test Classic Agent.
  2. Right-click on the title bar of the Agent dialog box and choose Network. The Agent Network dialog box displays.
  3. Optional: Type a name for the remote agent into the Agent name field.
  4. From the Network list box, select TCP/IP. The default port number displays in the Port number text box.
  5. Set the port. Typically, you can accept the default port.
  6. Click OK.
