Chapter III. Unified Wire Manager (UM)

6. Management Agent

6.1.

Communication

The agent uses a TCP connection over IP to communicate with the client. After the connection
is established, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption is enabled using the Open SSL libraries.
The agent listens on a TCP port for new incoming connections from clients. This port is set to
35001 by default.
6.2.

Service configuration

The agent is installed as a service on the system, and enabled to start on boot. The following
sections will describe the procedure to configure service startup manually:
6.2.1. Service startup configuration
The service name on Windows is Unified Wire Manager and the service startup configuration
can be changed by following these steps:
1. Launch Services from the Control Panel. You can also type services.msc in the Run
command. This will open the Services window.
2. Scroll and highlight the "Unified Wire Manager" service, and double-click on it.
3. Select the startup type, either "Automatic (Delayed Start)", "Automatic", "Manual", or
"Disabled".
6.2.2. Service start/stop/restart

command. This will open the Services window.
2. Scroll and highlight the "Unified Wire Manager" service.
3. Click on Start/Stop/Restart to carry out the respective tasks in the Description section on
the left.
6.3.

Firewall

If the system has a firewall configured, it should be configured to allow traffic to the
management agent's default TCP port configured i.e. 35001. Review the firewall documentation
and configure it appropriately. If there is a firewall appliance / software protecting the network
that the system is on, and you wish to connect to the system from a different network, using the
client, the firewall appliance also needs to be configured appropriately.
