5.3 Specifying the detailed settings for relay systems

Detailed setup of relay systems is required in order for a JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) to function as a client. When the detailed setup is completed, clicking the OK button displays the Setup dialog box again.

If you change any of the settings in the relay system setup, you must restart the relay system service in order for the changes to take effect. While the relay system service is running, make the changes to the setup and then click the OK button in the Relay System Setup dialog box or Detailed Information Setup dialog box. The relay system service restarts.

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