1
To check connectivity for new clients, start the client addition wizard, and then click Firewall Test.
— or —
To check connectivity for existing clients, open the Manage Clients page. Select the client, and then click Firewall Test.

IMPORTANT: The firewall test option checks the connectivity to the Stats Manager process on the specified server or client machine. If this process is not running on the client, the test fails. However, the client may still be accessible for backup. In any case, it is an abnormal situation and should be corrected.
