Host prerequisites
Before installing the Device Manager agent, perform prerequisite tasks as appropriate.
The Device Manager agent does not support operating systems that allow only IPv6 addresses.
To use the agent in an IPv6 operating system, configure it to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Stop all programs.
When setting up a firewall provided by an operating system, configure it so socket connections
cannot be terminated in the local host.
If you are running security monitoring programs, either temporarily stop them or change the settings
so they do not prevent the installation.
