Create an agent computer

You can create an agent computer in Agent Groups to monitor the physical agent computers. The agent computer can be a local agent computer in a local FactoryTalk Directory to which the FactoryTalk AssetCentre system belongs or a remote agent computer in a remote FactoryTalk Directory.
TIP:
A local agent computer must be created within a local agent group. Similarly, a remote agent computer must be created within a remote agent group.
