# Installing the MediaAgent Software on Remote Office Appliance RO1100

The Remote Office Appliance RO1100 can be setup with the MediaAgent software.

To setup the Remote Office Appliance RO1100 with both the CommServe server and MediaAgent software, see Installing the CommServe and MediaAgent Software on Remote Office Appliance RO1100.

## Before You Begin
