Connecting a Build Node for Windows Phone and RT
Apps for Windows Phone and RT are built on Windows 8 Pro build nodes. To connect such a build node, you first have to download an exe file from Mobile Administrator as described below. When you extract the downloaded file, you can launch the AppFresh Windows wizard in which you can then specify all required information for installing the build node and connecting it to a Mobile Administrator instance.
To connect a build node for Windows Phone and RT on Windows 8 Pro
1. Click and then Build Nodes. 2. Scroll down to the bottom of the All Build Nodes page.

7. Specify the Mobile Administrator host name (without https://), your user name and password, and then click Add.
8. Make sure the newly added host name and authentication token show up in the Servers list.
9. Specify a recognizable identifier for the build node in the Name field. This name will be shown in Mobile Administrator as the build node name.
10. Optional. Go to the SDKs tab of the wizard to view the installed SDKs that have been detected on the build node.
11. Optional. Go to the Help tab of the wizard to make sure that all required software has been installed on the build node.
