Android Satellite APK

Some Android devices may first require the user to "Allow unknown apps". Instructions for this, and for installing the APK, can be found here.

Note: The Agent requires a valid WiFi Connection.

When the "iNQC Agent" app is first run the screen will look similar to the image below.

Before the app will allow you to start, it requires an installation of MyConnection Server (MCS) to be specified. To do this click on the top row (MCS Status:).

A screen similar to that of the second image will appear. Simply enter the MCS URL / IP (For example mcs.example.com or mcs.example.com:81 if a port other than 80 is required) and press the "Save" button. Then use the devices back button to return to the main screen.

Note: The installation has to be accessible to the user or the user has to know someone with access. That agent has to be permitted and this requires log in privileges.

Start the app by clicking the "Stopped" button. This will turn to "Running" and the app will begin initiating.

The first thing to point out is the AGENT STATUS IS AUTHORISING. This means it's awaiting permission to connect to MCS.

The second thing to point out is the Web server IP and Port. The app automatically selects the IP address being used by the mobile device and uses port 8080 (this can be changed by pressing the port row).

The bottom row of the home screen is SET AGENT NAME. This allows the user to set a unique name that makes the agent easily identifable at the server end. Especially useful if numerous agents are all connection to the same MCS server.

Setting a unique name is simply a case of typing a name and clicking SAVE.

Now, when the agent appears in the device list, this name should make for easy identification.

The Satellite agent will appear in the Satellites tab.

The agent will appear using the Unique name and the ID number. At the end of the row there will be three links, the first of which is PERMIT. Click this to permit the Satellite.

A pop up will appear regarding groups and remote agents. This can be closed, adding a workload to the Satellite is covered in Step 5.

The AUTHORISING should now update itself to AUTHGRANTED, which confirms it has been given permission to connect to MCS.
