Information to collect before you begin installation and configuration

Before you begin configuring the product, you must gather information about the communications protocol settings that the monitoring agent uses to communicate with the monitoring server. You have four choices: IP.UDP, IP.PIPE, IP.SPIPE, or SNA.
Tip: You can specify multiple communication methods. By using different methods, you can set up backup communication methods. If the method you have identified as Protocol 1 fails, the software uses Protocol 2, and so on.
