Configuring the communication between agent and server¶

After installing an agent, it must be configured in the AdminClient to ensure communication with the octoplant server via TCP/IP.

1. Start the AdminClient and open the Jobs module.
2. Select the Home tab.
3. Click on the Agent configuration button in the menu bar.
4. The Agent configuration dialog opens.

5. Click on the Create new agent button.

   

6. In the Agent settings area, enter the name and IP address or computer name of the client on which the agent is to be installed and perform its tasks.

   Info

   Agents are assigned to a job by name, so this must be unique.

7. Activate the option Port for upload agent and/or Port for compare agent. You can use one or both agents, depending on the necessary requirements.

8. Specify the Port No.. The default ports are:

   • 64010 for the upload agent
   • 64011 for the compare agent

   These default ports are enabled for the agents when octoplant is installed in the firewall. If the ports are not blocked by other applications, they can be used unchanged.
   However, the ports can also be changed if necessary. The ports can be changed using the Csc.ini file (path to the file: vdAgentArchive\VD$A\Configuration).
   After changing the file Csc.ini, the agent services must be restarted. 1. Select the CSC gateway to which the agent is to be assigned from the dropdown menu. 1. Click on Save and close.
