Using Test To
The Test To drop down menu contains options for configuring a satellite work order (SWO) to test to another server.
By default this option is set to test to This Server.
That simply means that where ever the SWO is deployed it will test back to the server it was created on.

Server Enabled Satellites
MCS automatically detects the presence of server enabled Satellites that are currently connected.
The format of these entries is Alias (Satellite IP). In prior MCS versions it was necessary to choose Other MCS/Satellite and manually specify the IP and password. Now simply select the Alias required and save the task to begin testing to that satellite.
This list will still show Satellites that are no longer connected, so it's important to make sure the chosen Satellite is connected and permitted by going to the Satellite tab from the MCS main menu.
Server Enabled Satellites
Other MCS/Satellite
To manually define another test to location select Other MCS/Satellite from the drop down menu.
As the image on the right shows, a URL/IP and RA Password of the other MCS/Satellite is required. The default RA password is hello. This can be changed in Security Settings.
It's important to note that when specifying a Satellite it must have server capability enabled.
