Note: These steps apply only if you are performing an IN-HOUSE installation. If a third-party service provider is hosting your Portal—that is, a HOSTED installation (perhaps for a product evaluation)—skip this section and contact your hosting organization’s representative to configure the hosted Portal for your Data Collector.
