Chapter 3 Installation and Setup
NOTE: When registering a hub server as a spoke server on another DTX Extender system, the information on the hub server being registered will
be lost. Its database will be updated to match the new hub server to which it is being registered.
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click DTX Control in the top navigation bar. The side navigation bar will include the name of the server to which you
are logged in.
3. Select Tools in the side navigation bar. The Server Tools window will open.
4. Click the Register as Spoke Server icon or text. The Register Spoke Server Wizard will appear.
5. The Type in Hub Server Address window will open.
a. Type the IP address of the hub server in standard dot notation (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) or the domain name of the hub
server.
b. Type the port number for the hub server.
If the default hub server port value (443) is modified, you must specify it when registering a spoke server
so that register requests will be sent to the correct port on the hub server. For example, if the IP address
of the hub server is 10.0.0.1 and the port number is changed to 444, type https://10.0.0.1:444/dtview in the
Address field of the Register Spoke Server Wizard.
c. Click Next.
6. The Operation in Progress window will open briefly, followed by the Accept Hub Server Certificate window. Click
Next.
7. The Type in Hub Server Administrator Credentials window will open. Click Next.
8. Type the name of a user with DTX Control administrator privileges on the hub server. Type a password for the user.
Click Next.
9. The Operation In Progress window will open. The configuration of the spoke server will be saved to the database of
the hub server and the spoke server’s certificates will be installed on the hub server.
10. The Completed Successful window will open when the spoke server has been added.
11. Click Finish.
To change spoke server network properties:
NOTE: Spoke server network settings may need to be changed by DTX Control administrators when network settings are changed and the hub
server did not automatically detect the changes. When changing the network settings, ensure that a port mismatch does not occur between the hub
server and the spoke server.
1. On the hub server, click the System tab.
2. Click DTX Control in the top navigation bar. The side navigation bar will include the name of the server to which you
are logged in.
3. Click Properties in the side navigation bar, and then click Spoke Servers. The Spoke Servers window will open.
4. Click on the name of the spoke server whose network properties you wish to change. The Spoke Server Network
Properties window will open.
5. Change any of the following network settings:
• Type a new computer name to use as the spoke server.
• Type a new address in standard dot notation (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) for the spoke server.
• Type a new port number for the spoke server.
