  You can also specify whether to use index mode or dictionary mode if you want to use QMS to provide query completion. For more information, see the QMS Administration Guide, and the QMS Reference.

- Specify the connection type, host, and port information for the Agentstore that Query Manipulation Server uses for data storage. You can also specify whether you have a Standard setup (where you have a single Agentstore component and send all commands directly to that component), or a Distributed setup (where you have multiple Agentstore components and send commands to a DAH, which distributes them appropriately).
- Specify the connection type, host, and port information for the IDOL Statistics Server.

- Specify the connection type, host and port information, and system name for Answer Server. The system name corresponds to the Answer Server Answer Bank configuration. For more information, see the Answer Server Administration Guide.
