  • Test Server Domain. This is the IP address or domain of the test endpoint, which will be an installation of MCS.
  • Test report alias name. This is optional and is used as part of a session ID to help identify data on the server; if left empty, it defaults to the machine name of the client running the satellite.
  • Test name to run or managed mode. Enter managed to enable managed mode. In this mode, the satellite appears in the Default group of the MCS satellites list; an admin user must approve it before assigning work remotely. Alternatively, specify a work order name; if that work order exists on the test server, the satellite will start running it automatically without further administrative actions.
