# Network

Last updated on Dec 22, 2025

## **General**

The **General** page controls how the Agent interacts with other Incredibuild components in the network:

### Communication Settings

Determines the TCP/IP ports used to communicate with other Incredibuild components.

#### Test Network Connectivity

This button opens the [Network Connectivity Test](https://www.Incredibuild.com/webhelp/advanced_network_test.html) window, which can help locate Agents with weak network performance.

## **Coordinator**

The **Coordinator** page is used to identify the computer running Incredibuild Coordinator, and to set Coordinator-related options:

### Coordinator Location

Defines the Coordinator machine's name/IP address and the TCP/IP port it uses to communicate with the Agent. If this was set during the Setup procedure, these values should be left unchanged unless the Coordinator service was transferred to another machine. The **Browse...** button may be used to select computers from your network neighborhood. You can use the **Test** button to see if a successful connection to a Coordinator can be established using the displayed settings.

### Options

The **Agent description** field can be used to supply a text string that will identify this computer in the Coordinator Monitor Agent list. The Agent Description will appear next to the Agent name in the list, which can be useful in an Environment that contains many Agents. If no value is provided, Incredibuild will use the text given for the computer's network identification Description field (empty by default). This field only supports English characters.
