MediaFrame stage

Configure News MDIs

This page configures the Managed Device Interface (MDI) for the AuroraShare
system. MediaFrame depends on the News MDI to make News assets visible across
the system.

The V: drive must be mapped on the machine that hosts the News MDI. By
convention, the DSM hosts the News MDI.

The NAS Shared Location can be left blank for most systems. An example of a system
for which the path must be entered is a AuroraShare NAS system whose DSM (the
News MDI host) has been upgraded to Windows 2003 Server. The path is required
because of enhanced security in the Windows 2003 Server operating system.

As you configure the News MDI make sure that you associate the News MDI and
News host names correctly.
