communicates with the Agent on the machine.
The default port number is 8006.

If the Install Agent page appears next in the Protect Machine Wizard, that means that Rapid Recovery does
not detect the Rapid RecoveryAgent on the machine and will install the current version of the software. Go
to
If the Upgrade Agent page appears next in the wizard, that means that an older version of the Agent
software exists on the machine you want to protect.
NOTE:
The Agent software must be installed on the machine you want to protect, and that machine
must be restarted, before it can back up to the Core. To have the installer reboot the protected
machine, select the option After installation, restart the machine automatically (recommended) before
clicking Next.
5. On the Upgrade Agent page, do one of the following:

To deploy the new version of the Agent software (matching the version for the Rapid Recovery Core), select
Upgrade the Agent to the latest version of the software.
•
To continue protecting the machine without updating the Agent software version, clear the option Upgrade the
Agent to the latest version of the software.
6. Click Next.
7. Optionally, on the Protection page, if you want a name other than the IP address to display in the Rapid
Recovery Core console for this protected machine, then in the Display Name field, type a name in the
dialog box.
