Management Server Indicator
Once you are on the DeTOS Desktop, the Echo Agent running on your terminal
will continue to periodically contact a Management Server named ws-broker
on your local area network. When successful, the Management Server
Indicator box found along the bottom of the Control Panel will read Managed.
Otherwise, the icon will change to a red circle and the status will say
Unmanaged. In this case, verify that your management server is online and
accessible on your LAN. Also be sure to check your DNS server to verify that
an entry for ws-broker exists and points to the IP address of your
management server.
