Connecting to a Host
You can add one or more Windows or Linux hosts to manage from BACS.
To add a local host
1. From the Action menu, click Add Host.
2. For both Windows and Linux hosts, do not change the default settings. The User name and Password are
not required while connecting to the local host.
3. Select Persist if you want BACS to save the information for this host.
4. Click Ok. BACS can now be used to view information and manage the host.
To add a remote host
1. From the Action menu, click Add Host.
2. Type the remote host’s name or IP address in the Host box.
3. Select the protocol from the Protocol list. The protocol options for Windows are WMI, WSMan, or Try All.
The protocol options for Linux are CimXML, WSMan, or Try All. The Try All option forces the GUI client to
try all options.
4. Select the HTTP scheme, or the HTTPS scheme for added security.
5. Type the Port Number value you used to configure the host, if it is different than the default value of 5985.
6. Type the User name and Password.
7. Select Persist if you want BACS to save the information for this host. The host will appear in the Explorer
Pane whenever you reopen BACS, and you will not need to enter the host IP address or host name when
connecting to the host. For security reasons, you must enter the User name and Password every time.
8. Click OK.
