Intermate 100 Direct Installation of an Agent on a PC, Troubleshooting Agent Installation on a PC

The Intermate Management and Configuration Utility (IMCU): Installing Agents

11.7.2. Direct Installation of an Agent on a PC

If your setup does not fulfill the system requirement for remote installation, you will have to install an IMCU agent directly on a PC on the desired segment, for example your own work sta- tion. Perform this installation with the IMCU Installation Pro- gram, choosing “Agent Only”.

Afterwards, return to the IMCU server. 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

Finish by selecting “Add” (instead of “Install”).

11.7.3. Troubleshooting Agent Installation on a PC

If the agent was not created, click the browser's “back” button and check the information typed in. A typical problem is the IP Address. If the address cannot be reached, it may be because an IP route needs to be set up. Other common mistakes are misspelling of the Domain, Username or Password. Ask your system administrator for further details. The IMCU server has quite a lot of on-line help available.

11.7.4. Embedded Agent on the Intermate1xx

If you already have given this (or another) Intermate print server an IP address using another method, you can activate the embedded agent on it. See “[IMCU Agent]” [page 178].
