The Intermate Management and Configuration Utility (IMCU): Installing Agents
11.7. Installing Agents
If there is an agent on the segment where your Intermate1xx is
placed, you are ready to use the
IMCU.
If you do not know whether someone in your network environ-
ment has already established an agent on the segment where
your Intermate1xx is placed, log in to the
IMCU server and use
the Device List as described in the previous section. If the
MAC address for your Intermate1xx does not show up on any
of the agents, you need to install one.
Unless you have a very good reason for doing so, do not
change the default port for the agent (8888).
Note that it is possible to have several agents installed on the
same physical network segment, but only one agent per host.
The agent can be hosted on a PC or on an Intermate print
server
.
11.7.1. Remote Installation of an Agent from the IMCU server
If both the IMCU server and the PC which is to host the agent
are running NT 4.0 or higher (Windows 2000, Windows XP),
you can install an agent remotely.
Select Agent Management
Select “New”. Fill out the necessary information and
then select “Install”.The necessary information is:
• “IP address” of the PC to host the agent.
• “Agent Name” (unless you are satisfied with the host IP
address as the agent name). Try to choose a name
which is meaningful for your administration.
• “Port” contains the port number the agent uses for
communication with the IMCU server . Default is 8888.
Do not change this without a very good reason.
• You will probably not want to change the refresh or
timeout intervals; check the on-line help if you are in
doubt
After you select Install, you will be asked to enter a Windows
NT account with administrative rights on the PC. You must
enter Domain, Username, and Password. Click Install again.
