Create Satellite Work Order

Step 1

A Satellite Work Order 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 Satellite Work Order, then click Next.

Step 2

Do you want to create a zero-install or an installed Satellite Work Order?

(What's the difference?)
Note: All Satellite Work Orders deployed on Unix platforms act as installed agents. This question applies only to Windows deployments.
 Zero-Install Satellite Work Order
Run on remote desktop and shut down when work order is completed

 Installed Satellite Work Order
Remains installed as a service until instructed to reboot

Step 3

How would you like tasks to be performed?
(What's the difference?)

Run a list of tests, one by one, until finished

Run concurrent scheduled tests every X minutes until the agent is shut down

Step 4

  Allow MyConnection Server administrators to perform one-off tests using this Satellite Work Order
(What is this?)

  Also allow applet users to perform one-off tests to this Remote Agent
