Access CT

Click here for a tutorial on how to set up your Access CT box using the configuration program

A MyConnection Server AccessCT is a small (3”x4”) fully automated appliance that supports active testing as well as passive monitoring, which enables the AccessCT appliance to analyze the test traffic during the connection test process.

When one of these appliances is set up to connect to a MyConnection Server it will appear in the AccessCT section, as shown below.

The section shown by the number one below is what a newly connection AccessCT appliance will appear as. You will need to permit or deny the device before it can communicate with the server.

 

When you opt to permit an AccessCT appliance you have the choice to assign it to a group and give it a preset workload. To create a group simply enter a group name in the add group section in the image above and then click the create group button.

Clicking the permit link will launch the dialog box shown below:

You can now choose which group you want to move the appliance into. This can be useful when you have many AccessCT appliances all over the world.

Groups and remote agent (RA) tasks can be assigned at a later date as shown in the section below.

The numbers above are explained below:

(1) Rename - Each AccessCT appliance in a group can be given a unique name. If at any point you want to add/rename an appliance simply click the rename link and enter a new one.

(2) Remote Agent Workload - this identifies the workload that an appliance is currently working through. Clicking on an RA link will allow you to alter the current workload or add more tasks. Note: As you can see above all three appliances are running the accessjp RA workload. If the accessjp workload is altered then it will affect all the appliances running that workload.

(3) Permit/Deny - If at any point you want to deny an appliance access to the server simply click the deny link. Clicking the permit link will give you the option to move the appliance to a new group or assign a new RA workload.

(4) Global changes - Next to each appliance (to the left) is a check box. To alter more than one appliance at a time use this section. Simply check the appliances you want to change then either permit/deny, move group, change RA workload or advanced. Clicking advanced will give you the options below:

To change a setting simply check the relevant box and then change the value to a new value. When you are done click the apply changes button. Note that this will only apply changes to the appliance(s) you have selected.
