Subscribing an EndPoint

After installing the EndPoint Agent, you must subscribe the EndPoint to a ShadowControl appliance in order for them to start communicating. How you subscribe an EndPoint usually depends on how you installed the EndPoint Agent:

• If installed Using a Push Install job the EndPoint subscribes automatically.
• (Windows only) Enter the appliance address during the MSI install process.
• (Windows or Linux) if installed by command-line (manual or scripted) subscribe the EndPoint using the ShadowControl CLI.

Important! Arcserve recommends using a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) rather than an IP address for subscribing EndPoints to the appliance. This lets you change the appliance’s IP address without having to resubscribe EndPoints. Make sure you have properly configured DNS entries on the network so EndPoints can identify the appliance correctly.
