    1. Click Agent actions Configure Adaptec Storage Manager agent.
    2. Click the General settings tab.
    3. Verify the value for the port number. The default port numbers for remote access are 34571-34574.

    1. The remote system is on.
    2. Both the local and remote systems are connected to the network.

    4. The host name of the remote system is defined in the Domain Name Server or a Hosts file, if you are trying to connect using a host name.
    5. The network is functioning.
