Server host/IP - This is the IP address of the Agent Service (see Adding an Agent service). Note, if you used the special address of either 0.0.0.0 or :: when configuring the Agent Service, you must use an actual reachable IP address for this value instead of 0.0.0.0 or :: as the address 0.0.0.0 or :: is only valid for listening purposes.
Server port - This is the port number the Agent Service is listening on. The default value is 40025.
Agent username - The username to use for accessing JSCAPE MFT Server. This should be a valid and existing user name on your JSCAPE MFT Server instance that's assigned to an Agent Trading Partner. It's also called an agent name in this context. See Synchronizing through agents for details.
