Chapter 3 Configuring the NewsBrowse System
Configure network: Two tier
Configure a two tier network, as explained in the following topics. This is the
recommended architecture for NewsBrowse version 2.0 and higher. Unless otherwise
indicated, all information in this chapter refers to the two tier network. Also refer to
“Two tier system diagram” on page 10 .
Systems upgrading from version 1.5 may retain the three tier network (which was
required for version 1.5) as NewsBrowse 2.0 and higher supports both the three tier
architecture and the two tier architecture. Refer to
“Three tier system diagram” on
page 141 . If you are upgrading from version 1.5 to version 2.0 or higher, refer to
NewsBrowse Release Notes for three tier network configuration instructions.
Distribute host tables
Find host table files at C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc
All NewsBrowse devices share a common host table, which lists out the Production
Network IP settings. For security purposes, the IP addresses should be non-routable
(i.e. 192.168.xxx.xxx) and be part of the same subnets used by the Profile/Open SAN
systems. The customer may request a particular subnet (routable or not) depending on
the needs of the facility. The only client side IP address needed in the host table is for
the client switch itself, which is useful for accessing the web management page from
the NewsBrowse devices.
The following is an example of host table entries for the NewsBrowse system. Not
shown are entries for Profile systems, UIMs, and other machines on the network.
Refer to the documentation for these other machines for host table requirements.
