The General tab on the Agent page enables you to configure the description and password for a plain Agent. You configure the general properties initially when you create a plain Agent using the WLOC Configuration Wizard, as described in Configuring the Controller and Agents.

    • Click the Home tab in the WLOC navigation bar, click Agents under Manage Configuration, and click the name of the Agent that you want to configure in the Agents table.
  2. Click the General tab on the Agent page.
  3. Modify the following general properties, as required:

    The name and type of the Agent cannot be modified after the Agent is created using the WLOC Configuration Wizard.
