Chapter 3 Configuring the system

Configuration overview - K2 storage

This flowchart illustrates the major tasks required
for configuring a system that accesses K2 storage.

Before beginning this task flow make sure that the
Aurora Edit system is fully functioning on the K2
storage. You should have at least one SmartBin
Encoder as part of the Aurora Edit/K2 system. In
this role, the SmartBin Encoder is not yet being
used as an Aurora Browse machine. Rather, it is
just used to host the SmartBins service.

Core configuration tasks are broken down into
stages. You can work through the configuration
stages in different ways, as follows:

You can also choose a combination of Basic and Advanced paths to suit your level of understanding and
the design of the particular system you are configuring.

This task flow assumes the use of the standard Aurora Browse application for testing and verification. If
you are using the Advanced Edit application, refer to the Advanced Edit Readme file, which you can find
on the Advanced Edit Installation CD.

Refer to the topics in the remainder of this chapter for detailed instructions on each task.

If you are new to the system, follow
the

Basic

path. At each

configuration page, configure only
those settings documented in this
manual as

Basic

. This path allows

you to learn the system and resolve
configuration problems in stages,
with a minimal number of
configuration variables and
machines added to the system at
each stage. Then, after you have
gained the understanding to make
each stage of the system work
properly, configure the remainder of
the system and add all machines.

If you are experienced with the
system and you want the fastest
possible configuration, follow the

Advanced

path and configure the

entire system in one pass, adding all
machines at each stage. At each
configuration page, you can
configure settings documented as

Advanced

as well as those

documented as

Basic
