(where the host information is sent).

Server host name maximum length: 50 bytes.
Server host name allowed characters: A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, hyphens (-), under-
scores (_), periods (.), and at signs (@)
Other server host name conditions: Do not use a hyphen as the first or last character.
• The server port number. This is used by the agent and the server.

About HiScan command execution
The HiScan command configures Device Manager agents to send information to the server on a
regular basis. You can schedule HiScan for hourly, daily, or weekly execution.
NOTE:
If you specify weekly executions, also specify the day of the week you want the scan to run.
If no HiScan execution periods are set, agents do not regularly send acquired information to the
server.
To reduce XP7 Command View AE server loads when agents are installed on multiple hosts, specify
daily or weekly executions and verify that multiple instances of HiScan do not run simultaneously.
For Windows, the batch file exeHiScan.bat with the HiScan settings is registered as a Windows
task.
