Click Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server. The SQL Server Enterprise Manager dialog box appears.
Click Microsoft SQL Servers > SQL Server Group > (Hostname of the Control Manager server) > Databases > DB_ ControlManager > Tables.

Locate the Token column. Information in the column appears in the following format: �URLTOKEN:2; http;10.1.2.3;80; cgiCmdNotify;;!CRYPT!10�"
A "1" signifies that the agent uses one-way communication to communicate with Control Manager.
A "2" signifies that the agent uses two-way communication to communicate with Control Manager.
