In the Add Node to Enterprise page, select Yes, add this node to the Enterprise checkbox to register this client node to the Enterprise and thus make it visible for the DPX Master Server. If you are installing on a cluster node, note that each cluster requires a dedicated node group. Add a cluster node to its dedicated node group. Add only cluster nodes to a cluster node group. If you do not want to add the node to the Enterprise, clear the checked option. You can always add the node later from the Master Server interface. See Adding a Client Node from the Master Server Level.
Leave the Logical Node Name which is the computer name of this Microsoft Windows system by default. Or, you can rename the logical node name in the input field.
Leave the Node Group Name field DefaultGroup which is the default node group. Or enter a different node group name either to create a new node group in the Enterprise or to specify an existing node group with the same name. Click Next to proceed.
On the Master Server page, enter the Master Server Hostname. This is the resolvable name of the master server. Optionally, you can enter the Master Server IP address. Click Next.
Attention. This field cannot be left blank. If you do not want to or are unable to provide the Master Server Hostname, go back to the previous step and uncheck the Yes, add this node to the Enterprise box.

The file instNote.txt appears, along with a prompt to reboot the machine. Click Yes to restart Microsoft Windows immediately or No to restart later.
