Replication of the XMS Server’s database

Specify the server’s network settings in the Virtual IP Settings

The V

IRTUAL

IP

SETTINGS

section on the Xmedia Server Control Panel’s Replication page

identifies the server’s IP address (LAN IP Address), as well as information required to
support the Virtual IP address used in newsroom environments (Virtual IP Address,
Netmask, and Registered name fields).

If you are configuring replication for a MOS enabled newsroom environment, then you must
specify a value for all of the settings in this section (see the first procedure below).
Otherwise, if your replication configuration does not require MOS, you only have to specify
the server’s IP Address in the LAN IP

ADDRESS

field (see the second procedure below).

To set the server’s network settings for a MOS enabled newsroom environment:
1.

Acquire an IP address that is not DHCP from your IT department. This IP address will
be used as the Virtual IP address.

2.

Open the command prompt and type: ipconfig
