Basic setup is required when JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) serves as a managing server or as a relay system. When you finish setting the basic setup and click the OK button, the Setup dialog box appears. If you wish to perform the detailed setup for the relay system, click the Detailed Setup button to display the Detailed Information Setup dialog box. If you click the Exit button without performing the detailed setup, the defaults are assumed for all detailed settings. For details about the detailed settings, see 5.3 Specifying the detailed settings for relay systems.

If you change any of the settings in the relay system setup, you must restart the relay system service before the changes will take effect. While the relay system service is running, changing the setup and then clicking the OK button in the Relay System Setup dialog box restarts the relay system service.

The following table lists the basic setup items for a relay system.
