Downloading and Installing Dynamic IP Agent
The Dynamic IP Agent can be installed on a Windows server or PC on your network. Before installing, please read the Prerequisites for Dynamic IP Agent installation.
Follow the steps below to download and install the Dynamic IP Agent.
Step 1: Generate or Retrieve a Location Key from WebTitan
When a Dynamic IP location is added to WebTitan a location key is generated. This key is necessary to complete the steps below and install the Dynamic IP Agent.
If you have not already done so, add a Dynamic IP location in WebTitan to generate a location key. Follow the steps in Adding a Dynamic IP Location.
If you have already added the Dynamic IP location, go to Environment > Locations, select your Dynamic IP location and retrieve the key from the Location Key field:
Step 2: Get your WebTitan FQDN / IP
You need to provide a specific WebTitan FQDN (fully qualified domain name) to the installer when installing Dynamic IP Agent. This FQDN is entered in the "WebTitan FQDN / IP" field in Step 3 below. To locate your FQDN, see WebTitan Dynamic IP Agent FQDNs.
