Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System

Configuration overview - K2 storage

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

Before beginning this task flow make sure that the
NewsEdit system is fully functioning on the K2
storage. You should have at least one SmartBin
Encoder as part of the NewsEdit/K2 system. In
this role, the SmartBin Encoder is not yet being
used as a NewsBrowse 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 NewsBrowse system you are configuring.

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

If you are new to the NewsBrowse
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
NewsBrowse 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
