Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Accessing system configuration pages
Use Internet Explorer to browse to port 280 of a machine to access its configuration
pages. You must have administrator permissions on the machine. For example, to log
on to the configuration pages on the NewsBrowse server with administrator
permissions, use the following:
Username: root-nb-svr\nbadmin
Password: *****
The settings you find on a particular computer’s configuration pages depend on the
software installed on the computer. For example, if the Proxy MDI component is
hosted on a single-channel encoder, you find the Proxy Managed Device
configuration settings at port 280 of that single-channel encoder. However, if the
Proxy MDI component is hosted on a dedicated MDI server, you find the Proxy
Managed Device configuration settings at port 280 of the MDI server machine.
You can access a computer’s configuration pages as follows:
• From the local computer, use the following URL:
http://localhost:280
• For configuration pages on the NewsBrowse server, you can also open the
NewsBrowse launch page and then click the Configuration link. To open the
NewsBrowse launch page, use the following URL:
http://localhost/nbui
The NewsBrowse launch page resides on the NewsBrowse server only.
• From a network-connected computer, substitute localhost in the URL with the
computer’s network name. For example, to access the configuration pages or the
NewsBrowse launch page on a NewsBrowse server named iron-nb-svr, use the
following URLs:
http://iron-nb-svr:280
http://iron-nb-svr/nbui
You must have network access to open configuration pages. You can access all
NewsBrowse devices from the NewsBrowse server. However, devices on the Client
Network, such as a NewsBrowse client PC, do not have access to all NewsBrowse
devices. From a NewsBrowse client PC you cannot access devices that are on the
Production network only, such as single-channel encoders.
