TCP port 9999 available

If another application is using port 9999, reconfigure AppManager to use a different port.

For more information about port requirements, see Section 2.6, Reviewing AppManager Port Usage.

n

Static IP address (highly recommended)

DHCP is supported, but you should not use it if a static IP address is available.

If you use DHCP, run the AMAdmin_ConfigSiteCommType Knowledge Script on the agent computers and disable Communication via IP address. The agent service on the agent computer then communicates with the management server using the server hostname instead of the IP address. Resolving the hostname incurs more overhead on the agent computer.
