Create Remote Agent

A Remote Agent is a program which automatically performs tests to your MyConnection Server from remote locations.

It can be used for example to regularly monitor the connection between two points on your network, or to perform one-off tests from an end-user's desktop.



Enter a name for the new Remote Agent, then click Next.
