The steps below will accomplish this:
Note: A firewall service running on the Compute Server or anywhere between the Compute Server and EASA Server may prevent connection to the necessary ports.
The steps below describe how to configure a Compute Server in the EASA system. Several examples of adding and configuring Compute Servers are provided at the Examples of Adding Compute and Excel Servers page.
