If you are installing the Control Center and it is going to be used in conjunction with a Concentrator the communication between the two applications is done via a Web API hosted within the Control Center. This Web API needs to be configured at install time.
Note: Concentrator is cut down version of Control Center that is only responsible for
Capture and Collection. The files it collects are then sent to a Control Center for
processing into the Capacity Database.
