As you can see in the above screen in case they are not inserted IT Asset Tool will show you what boot parameters are required. The IT Asset Tool client requires some parameters to start sucessifuly.
Below the complete guide to client parameters.

| port | 0-65536 | Yes | Set the port Listen of IT Asset Tool Server |

*** At the start-up of ClientIAT.exe, the first inventory software starts after 3 minutes in order not to slow down the start-up of the operating system.
Example:
"\\server-it-asset-tool\client\ClientIAT.exe " server=192.168.0.100 port=18888 senddelay=3600000 admin=Brian
This row launches the client from network shared folder and then the client sends the data that it collects to port 18888 of server 192.168.0.100 every hour. In addition will be logged every login by Brian.
Once the initial three minutes have elapsed, the client will begin to analyze the Computer and then display a report of the data collected and sent to the IT Asset Tool Server.
As best practice, we suggest to share the client application (requested procedure during the installation) and execute it with a windows group policy.
IT Asset Tool Client and Server need an exception of firewall port to comunicate between each other. By default the Server listens to the Tcp Port 18888 but can be customized.
