blurb=\
Allows an agent to be connected to the Jenkins controller whenever it is ready.<br>\
In one mode, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Web_Start" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Java Web Start</a> is used. \
In this case, a JNLP file must be opened on the agent machine, \
which will establish a TCP connection to the Jenkins controller. \
(Other launch methods use a JNLP file but not Java Web Start, or do not use a JNLP file at all.)<br>\
The agent machine will establish a TCP connection to the Jenkins controller. \
This means that the agent need not be reachable from the controller; \
the agent just needs to be able to reach the controller. \
If you have enabled security via the <i>Configure Global Security</i> page, \
you can customize the port on which the Jenkins controller will listen for incoming agent connections.<br>\
By default, the agent will launch a GUI, but it is also possible to run \
an agent without a GUI, for example as a Windows service.
you can customize the port on which the Jenkins controller will listen for incoming agent connections \
(unnecessary when using WebSocket mode).
