4. From the list of environments, click the environment name link for which you want to register the remote agent appliance.
5. On the Source Environment Details page, click Register Agent.
6. On the Register agent page, enter the following details:
   1. Name: Enter the name of the remote agent appliance that is pre-populated.
   2. Agent Host Name or IP: Enter the remote agent appliance's host name or IP address. For example, 10.100.101.10.
   3. Port: Enter the remote agent appliance's port number. For example, 3000.
7. Click Register Agent. You are redirected to the remote agent appliance in a new browser tab to continue the registration process.
