The individual iba systems can be connected as agents and communicate with the server. If, for example, a router or firewall is connected between the server and agent, the agent must actively search for the server and initiate the connection (formerly known as a WAN connection).

Prerequisite: The server address is known.

Setting up an agent-initiated connection

  1. Set the agent-initiated communication mode for ibaManagementStudio Agent. You can do this in 2 places.

    • You can select the Agent-initiated communication mode when installing the ibaManagementStudio Agent application, see Installing agents.

    • Optionally, you can later change the communication mode to Agent-initiated in ibaManagementStudio Agent Status under Settings, see Agent-initiated communication settings.

  2. Enter the connection data in each case.

  3. In the web client under Settings – System Configuration, add the agents for Agent-initiated connections, see Adding a system.
