Determining ARM Communications with Other Entities
Operators can determine the way ARM communicates with other entities, e.g., routers and nodes. The ARM Configurator’s address configured in these entities can be the Configurator’s IP address or Hostname (FQDN).

To configure the way the ARM communicates with other entities:
|
|
1.
|
Open the Security page (Settings > Administration > Security). |
Security
|
2.
|
Under ‘ARM Configuration’, configure the:
|
|
●
|
ARM IP Address [Drop-down list of available hard-coded IP addresses that the ARM extracted from the machine’s local network interfaces]
|
|
●
|
ARM Hostname [The hostname of the ARM’s machine; by default, identical to that of the machine’s hostname]
|
|
●
|
Communication method [drop-down list to select whether the ARM should configure its IP address or Hostname (FQDN) for the other entities]
|
|
●
|
Support underscore in node's hostname [check this option for an underscore in Hostname (FQDN) to be supported] |
This action may take some time depending on the number of nodes in the network and the number of configured ARM Routers. The action will cause entities to be temporarily disconnected. Peer Connections, VoIP Peers and other entities do not impact on the action.
