The example below demonstrates how to install the Satellite as a service and connect it to MCS. In this case, the Satellite will connect to the server at 4.16.214.18 on port 80. (Port 80 is used here for demonstration purposes—only non-80 ports need to be explicitly specified.) The Satellite will register in MCS under the unique name NQCSat.
