Installing a Remote Agent

 

 


There are two methods for installing a remote agent 

  1. Installation via the WiSentry Setup File.  If you downloaded WiSentry, this file would be called wisentry.exe.
  2. Installation via the Remote Agent Utility.

After installing the WiSentry Agent, see Configuring an Agent for further information.

Installation via the WiSentry Setup File

Remote Agents can be installed via the WiSentry.exe setup file.

  1. Copy or take the WiSentry setup file to the remote machine you wish to deploy a remote agent on.
  2. Start the installation program and navigate to the Select Features panel.

     
  3. Unselect the Control Server, Administrator Console and Files to install Remote AP Detection Agent.

     
  4. Select Next and you will be prompted for the Agent Mode.  See  VLAN and Trunked Environments for more information on which mode to install.


    F Your VLAN must be setup before installing a WiSentry Remote Agent in VLAN mode.  
    This is because the WiSentry Remote agents binds with the adapter when installed.  If you have not previously installed a VLAN, the WiSentry Remote Agent will bind with the physical adapter and as a result, will not see the VLAN(s).
     
  5. Select Next and the Remote Agent will installed on this machine.

Now that the Remote Agent has been installed, you can use the IP Address of this machine to Configure the Remote Agent.

Installation via the Remote Agent Utility

If you previously installed the Files to install Remote AP Detection Agent, you can also install a remote agent from the command line.

  1. Open a command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the WiSentry directory.  Typically, this will be C:\Program Files\WiMetrics\WiSentry.
  3. Start rinstall.bat  The format for this utility is

    rinstall \\machinename <administrator name> <
    password>
     
  4. Rinstall will copy the remote agent to the remote machine and automatically start it.
  5. Agents installed with Rinstall are always installed as Normal Mode agents.  See Configure the Remote Agent if this agent needs to support a VLAN.

Now that the Remote Agent has been installed, you can use the IP Address of this machine to Configure the Remote Agent.
