Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Configuration overview
This flowchart illustrates the major tasks required
for configuring a NewsBrowse system. Core
configuration tasks are broken down into stages.
You can work through the configuration stages in
different ways, as follows:
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, you 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
!
.
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.
