Configuring remote AR System servers for DSO

The information in this topic is applicable only for on-premises deployments.

To enable the local  server to communicate with remote , perform the following steps:

1. On the remote , perform these tasks:
   • Add a  license. See Enabling-DSO-on-an-AR-System-server.
   • Specify a local  password. See Configuring-a-password-for-the-DSO-user.
   • (Optional) Specify an RPC program number for . See Assigning-an-RPC-program-number-to-DSO.
2. On the local , open the AR System Administration: Server Information form.
