Text Box Description
Host The host name or IP address of the machine that you want to protect.
Port The port number on which the Rapid Recovery Core communicates with the
Agent on the machine.
The default port number is 8006.
User name The user name used to connect to this machine; for example, Administrator (or, if
the machine is in a domain, [domain name]\Administrator).

If the Install Agent page appears next in the Protect Machine Wizard, that means that Rapid Recovery

software.

protected machine, select the option After installation, restart the machine automatically
(recommended) before clicking Next.
